James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, IDA, PERFORMANCE, ST - CHART UPDATES, ST PERFORMANCE

3:46 PM – Stock has clearly broken its defining 10 DMA support. As previously noted, a break of that level would trigger a SELL SIGNAL. Locking in final profits here after a strong multi-month run.

SELL SIGNALS:
7/23 @ $122.70 +1.4%
8/28 @ $125.08 +3.4%
10/23 @ $134.15 +10.9%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect the 10 DMA

  • The 10-day moving average is the heartbeat of our trading system.

  • A decisive break below it often signals a shift in short-term momentum.

  • Locking in profits early keeps you playing from strength — not defense.
