Quite the reversal this Friday, after a pierce of the week’s lows. My contention from past two weeks is that it’s very hard to see followthrough in this market when everyone hedged so stinkin’ aggressively last monday– see VIX and VVIX for how that played out.
So we’re seeing the squeeze, which probably won’t be the last, and the most likely scenario right now is for the market to have high volatility chop without a ton of followthrough in either direction. That’s good for us.
Trade #1: ADBE
After climbing to to 670, the stock had a nasty pullback after its earnings event. This is a good place to put risk on.

Trade #2: AAPL
Good little flush in AAPL. I was looking for 138’s, and still am, so we’ll have some setups just in case this isn’t the capital-L low.
