The big 5% Wednesday was followed by a strong intra-day pullback but a strong close. In the end, all major market averages finished near the highs of their daily range.
Overall, today was a big win for the bulls. There are more stocks setting up and looking constructively. With all positives in mind, it makes sense to continue to be cautious and to operate with the thesis that this is just a rally within an ongoing bear market, which means stay nimble and don’t hesitate to take partial profits on strength, often. From a technical perspective, SPY has room to run to 260 before it encounters a serious resistance.
