Delayed Reaction Watchlist (click here Tradingview)

Market Awareness

Lots of setups, stories starting to move again. BLSH IPO today could be a watershed for the crypto stuff. I expect it to run. If it turns into a big media IPO then expect other crypto stuff to fade around it.

Bullish overall, Small caps taking hold again, lots of China names setting up. IWM looking good but coming into a big $230 area. Plenty of delayed reaction setups also. AEO needs to go soon or else it probably dumps.

Everyone must find a setup, timeframe and method that works for them. This list is supposed to educate on the criteria I use and the methods in which I find Stocks in Play. Yours may differ and that is completely okay.}
