Technical Picture - Dead Cat Bounce

Today's rally felt lame, especially with the sell-off into the close. Friday's jobs data will likely give more clarity. Until then we have initial claims (consensus 650k) tomorrow in pre-market and factory orders at 10:00.

Gapping after hours ADBE, SIGM, and GYMB

Hi Jamie,

I actually shorted GYMB this morning on the break of the 4th bar on the 5 min chart. Is that a trade you would have taken?

Thanks

504,

Yeah, that's a good entry, price was rejected at S2 and fell back down.

Yeah, feels like we need a more meaningful bottom before we can really rally.

Lars,

Congrats on awesome trades. I've been hitting some big winners in biotech and oil.

Let's see if we can have 4 higher closes in a row.
