dSell
Stock indexes wobbled a bit, but recovered swiftly.
Bitcoin shows a dSell signal (bearish divergence) and struggles to extend its recent rally. The weekly RevL just above $83k is its next major hurdle to take.

Stock positions:

AJG changes to mild bearish with upward MoM. That's an important step for an spBuy entry. Now we will see how much of a rebound we can get from it.
We keep what we have and wait for next chances.

SPX stays on a pP signal. Note that NDX is up 17% since the Buy signal on April 9, with SPX and RUT up only 9%. The bullish action is dangerously concentrated in high-flying tech names, a movie that has been seen before.

Stock positions:

DLTR is not acting right. But it still hangs on to a support level. We can keep it another day, and may have to cut the loss soon.
A very extended and tricky market. Not a time to add new positions.

Runaway stock indexes. It's important not to chase prices. We keep what we have and just add a few chances on good pullbacks.

Stock positions:

IEX was closed at a 9% profit and has been moved to the completed trades list. AJG reached our limit Buy price, so we consider it opened from $200. Now we wait for MoM to turn up, a most important step for spBuy entries, and then we see how much of a rebound we get (if any).
