I chose to just observe today as multiple stocks gapped up strongly on the open. So on days like this there's not much to do but sit back and let the portfolio work, and observe the price action of the leading stocks and how they close.

A lot of pullback rebounds in the watchlist tonight, with numerous stocks continuing to setup still and breakouts have started working again. So seeing some strength, and the VIX closed below both the 50 day MA and the 21 day EMA that it's been bouncing around for the last few weeks.

A very large list tonight with numerous cup and handle patterns forming and continuation breakout attempts. Volume was light, but in terms of setups forming, it was a very strong day imo.

Another day of rotation into some of the more unloved sectors with Industrials, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary have strong moves, while many of the leading stocks pulled back strongly to test their short term MAs. So a healthy sign in terms of market breadth, but not so nice if you focus on leading stocks. As can be hard to sit through the correction.

I saw a lot of nervousness on the twitter feed today, with people talking about pullbacks. But from my perspective we've just had one, as we saw a -6.7% pullback in the Nasdaq over the last few weeks and then made a new high today. So until the breakouts start failing again the short term trend remains up, and today saw seven big name stocks including four of the FAANG stocks attempting to breakout again, although they all closed fairly weakly.

Another strong list today with multiple stocks at or near to actionable levels. A few standouts from tonights list are FTNT*, BOX, GDDY, MSFT
