going up. This is often particularly true when it happens on bad news.

released the news that it would
miss this quarter’s earnings estimates before the opening bell, then promptly
gaps down on the opening print.

 

 

When the stock starts to rise on massive volume, the buying
pressure is showing itself.

 

 

Aggressive traders with a tight stop can get in as the stock
rises nearly 6 points from the bottom. More cautious traders are still able to
capture a good part of the move out of a short pullback. Learn to listen to what
a stock is telling you and you will find yourself on the right side of trades
more often.

Until tomorrow,
