≈ Yeah, it’s time. ≈
Traders,
We’ve reached the point in the selloff where bulls better get their act together, or else it’s going to get messy. Yes, I know the S&P 500 is still a pebble toss from record highs, but look beneath the surface, and you’ll see some damage. I like using the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) and Arkk Innovation ETF (ARKK) as my two poster children for where the weakness really lies.
The former is down 7% from the highs and testing major support at the 50-day moving average. This morning’s response to the down open is giving evidence that the bounce may finally be here. As for ARKK, well, it’s stunk up the joint. But, it’s desperately oversold, and that volume crescendo we saw over the past two sessions reeks of capitulation.
I choose optimism here over pessimism. Besides, it’s tough to find a low-risk entry on bearish trades. So, even if you think some of these downtrends continue (see PYPL, PTON, SQ, TWTR, SPOT, ZM, TDOC, Z), do you really want to deploy a bear trade now?
I didn’t think so.
A bounce will make everyone happy. Make it happen, market gods.

Chart of the Day: Small Caps ($IWM)
Look, it’s now or never, bulls. You’ve allowed IWM to descend as much as possible without destroying the trend, but it’s now crunch time. Either you hold the 50-day and maintain the integrity of the uptrend, or you allow what could have been a glorious breakout and retest turn into an ugly, no-good broken chart.
