Here’s How To Manage A Trade After A Bullish Price Bar

The market is trapped in
a narrow range
. As you can see below, S&P 500 Index is moving
inside of a 4-point range. It is definitely a sleepy market.

Four days ago Martek Biosciences (MATK) gapped down, but it formed a
bullish long tail. Some traders thought the stock was ready for a minor rally.
Look at the daily chart below (as of yesterday close). The expected rally never
materialized. Buyers were no longer interested in this stock.

Daily Setup Alert

Martek Biosciences (MATK)
is bouncing off its declining 8-day EMA. Short MATK if it slips below 42.15.
Target is near 40. Place a stop just above today’s high 43.10. MATK is trading
at 42.66, down 0.34.
 

There were whipsaw movements, but shortly after 11:00 AM, MATK  moved below
42.15 for the second time. Around 12:30, the stock tested its intraday low and
bounced off. That action made me decide to take a partial profit.
