MON 3/2: APH – CALLING A 3RD SELL SIGNAL @ $136.79 -5.3%

James F. Taulman APH, BB - SIDEBAR, PERFORMANCE, TDBO, TDBO PERFORMANCE

12:16 PM – Shares have dropped below the 50 DMA and are selling off on volume. That violation confirms intermediate-term weakness and signals continued institutional distribution. When a stock loses its 50 DMA with expanding volume, the character has changed. This is the third and FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

SELL SIGNALS:
2/4 (1/3) @ $138.16 -4.4%
2/5 (1/3) @ $126.53 -12.4%
3/2 (1/3) @ $136.79 -5.3%

OVERALL P/L: -7.4%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The 50 DMA Is a Line of Defense

  • The 50 DMA often separates recovery attempts from renewed weakness.

  • A high-volume break below that line signals institutional selling pressure.

  • Final exits remove exposure before deterioration accelerates further.

James F. Taulman APH, BB - SIDEBAR, PERFORMANCE, TDBO, TDBO PERFORMANCE

10:02 AM – Shares are continuing lower on above-average volume as overall market conditions deteriorate, signaling increasing downside pressure. I’m calling a quick 2ND SELL SIGNAL here to further reduce exposure.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/12 (1/3) @ $144.50

SELL SIGNALS:
2/4 (1/3) @ $138.16 –4.4%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Speed Matters in Weak Markets

  • Losses accelerate faster when the market turns hostile.

  • Above-average volume confirms real selling pressure, not noise.

  • Acting decisively on second signals limits damage before momentum worsens.
