\"\"<\/p>\n

The move in March conditioned investors to think in binary terms.<\/p>\n

Straight down, straight up. And the range from the past month has chopped up many looking for the retest lower.<\/p>\n

For about a month, the market has been in a range between about 2800 and 2950. There was a failure to move lower and then the market spent a week near the range highs, indicating price acceptance.<\/p>\n

So far so good, right?<\/p>\n

This week the S&P cleared the range and saw a push to 3050. Unless something changes– unless we see proper followthrough with sellers, then we need to assume that the market is establishing a new range higher.<\/p>\n

A good upper end of the range would be the countertrend bounce highs from February, and we could just see another range develop.<\/p>\n

Within the range we’ll see rotation that give us opportunities in individual stocks, and with the elevated volatility we can still get some great risk\/reward on our spread sales.<\/p>\n

Trade #1: FB<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Facebook (FB) is seeing a little weakness due to the tech sector. It also has headline risk with the potential that social media companies have a change in how they are regulated by the Feds. Whether or not this holds true remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

I’m looking for\u00a0 pullback to the rising 20 day moving average and a test of the previous resistance which is now support.<\/p>\n

Trade Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected Price: 216<\/p>\n

Stop Out If Close Under 204.89<\/p>\n

Trade #2: SPLK<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SPLK had a good earnings report and price reaction. I like scaling into put spreads sales as the trend should continue in the directions of the earnings move. Bid-ask is a little wide, make sure pricing makes sense before putting on the trade.<\/p>\n

Trade Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected Price: 180<\/p>\n
