The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/2022\/09\/02\/more-people-looked-for-jobs-in-august-easing-labor-market-pressures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data show<\/a> the labor participation rate increased with job growth and a minimal increase in the unemployment rate: a recipe for the (mythical?) economic soft landing. The reaction in the stock market reflected the duality in interpreting this otherwise good jobs report. The market initially gapped up higher to celebrate the good economic news. Sellers took over and faded the market into negative territory upon realizing that the news keeps the Fed hawkish and on schedule with monetary tightening. This characterization is my stylized narrative, but I find it useful for painting context on the poor technicals of the day. The resulting fades confirmed bear market resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple (AAPL) once again led the stock market narrative. The trading in AAPL is a counter-reaction to the rally that took the stock close to the triple top set from December, 2021 to March, 2022. Sellers have dominated the trading action through a confirmed breakdown below support at the 200-day moving average (DMA) (the blue line below) and now a 50DMA (the red line) breakdown. Ironically, Friday&#8217;s post-jobs fade followed <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrDuru\/status\/1565441724989652998?s=20&amp;t=BofrvERKmpBFMrpWkYBXug\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a promising defense of 50DMA support that created a bottoming hammer<\/a>. The fade confirmed bear market trading action. AAPL is down 10.7% from its recent high in a move that technician Carter Braxton Worth presciently called right near the top just as <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2022\/08\/19\/did-bear-market-warm-up-for-comeback-the-market-breadth\/\">the bear market warmed back up<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1051\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/090222-Apple-Inc.-AAPL.png\" alt=\"Apple Inc.

The bear market resistance sent the S&amp;P 500 tumbling into a 1.1% loss and 5-week closing low.

Like the major indices, AT50 closed at a 5-week low. This synchronicity is an important confirmation of the freshly bearish trading action. In a bull market, I consider a drop by AT50 into the 30s to provide a &#8220;close enough&#8221; signal to start at least shopping for buys. Instead, with this bear market, I maintain my short-term trading call at bearish. Two milestones from here get me bullish: a drop into oversold conditions (AT50 below 20%) and\/or a confirmed 50DMA breakout by the S&amp;P 500 and then the NASDAQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cycled through several bearish positions taking profits during the week. Starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2022\/08\/26\/bears-push-bulls-down-the-jackson-hole-the-market-breadth\/\">the extreme selling that closed the previous week<\/a>, I saw the immediate risk\/reward favoring a rebound. The extreme selling sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/09\/01\/stock-futures-are-flat-ahead-of-key-august-jobs-report-due-friday.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the NASDAQ into its first 6-day losing streak since 2019<\/a>. I even finally closed out my short in ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (ARKQ). See <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2022\/08\/13\/sunny-mid-summer-assessment-of-ark-bottom\/\">A Sunny Mid-Summer Assessment of the ARK Bottom<\/a> for more on my current strategy trading the speculative ARK funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of stepping back, sellers maintained the pressure through the Thursday lows. Yet, I still expected buyers to hold Friday&#8217;s gap up with shorts closing out ahead of the holiday weekend. I even bought calls in XLI and XME in case the rally held and confirmed Thursday&#8217;s bottoming hammer patterns. When I opened fresh bearish positions during the week, I stayed relatively conservative with spreads instead of outright long puts. Follow-through selling in the coming week will make me more aggressive down to oversold trading conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three charts caught my attention at the close of trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon.com (AMZN) managed to avoid a close below its 50DMA. The fight was strong enough to keep AMZN in play for a confirmed bottom at 50DMA support if buyers turn things right around in the coming week. Note how AMZN printed a bottoming hammer right at 50DMA support just like AAPL did on Thursday. Unlike AAPL, AMZN survived the day&#8217;s fade with a near flat performance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/090222-Amazon.com-Inc.-AMZN.png\" alt=\"Amazon.com, Inc.

CSCO is now struggling to hold on to 50DMA support. The stock is a buy above $46. Such a move would clear out the congestion on top of the 50DMA.
