The market continued its run from Wednesday into Thursday morning and grew even stronger late in the day. Like we have been mentioning for weeks now, the uptrend has been under major pressure and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 need to hold their 50 day moving average levels in order for the market to preserve its momentum. The AAPL market gap on Wednesday pushed us back above those marks and we stuck above those critical levels on Thursday as well. This was a very important step one for this market to heal itself.
The next bit of resistance was at the 21 day moving average levels but the major indices blew past that on Thursday.  Now that those levels are temporarily holding, our next resistance levels are the old uptrend and old highs lines which are much less significant.

Our watch list from last night did quite well on Thursday showing us that we not only had the major indices performing strongly but the leading names participating as well. When this occurs it shows us the market has healthy internals  and we have firmer ground to trade off of.

These positives aside, let’s not forget how dangerous earnings season can be. We are still seeing many stocks blow up like AKAM (which stopped us out of 2 nice trades near breakeven) and DECK in the aftermarket which is down 17%.

If you still own DECK than you are trading completely wrong. DECK had strong technicals in 2011 but those blew apart last September and again in December when it became a better short candidate. DECK broke through all support and old support turned into resistance as an old uptrend turned into a downtrend. Not only did DECK hit new lows last week but it bounced into the 50 day moving average level which is a favorite area for shorts to load up at in a downtrend.

New Setups
We would look to buy the following stocks on a move to or above the following levels. These are all very high risk trades so only trade them with the realization that you may get whipsawed around and stopped out. We are still walking on risky ground as we see some stocks gapping up 15% and others gapping down 15%.  For longer term traders these are also decent accumulation levels but watch to make sure they hold there 50 day moving average levels and be careful around earnings.
