10/31 FRI: J – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $156.84 +2.9%

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

3:37 PM – The stock has now committed a full series of technical violations — enough to warrant a final exit.

The first warning came on 10/22, when shares dropped –4% with +75% volume — an early sign of technical weakness and momentum fatigue. While price managed to hold the 10 DMA that day, the negative reversal two sessions later confirmed a break in character.

By 10/28, a clear trendline violation occurred as the stock closed below its 10 DMA. That line, once supportive, began acting as resistance over the next two sessions — a textbook support violation showing institutions were no longer defending the move.

Today’s close undercut prior lows on +45% rising volume — a volume-backed breakdown and final evidence of technical deterioration. The uptrend has lost its structural integrity, and the trade no longer meets ULTRA’s standards for momentum discipline. This has me calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

Still, the trade closes with a controlled profit — a disciplined win under shifting conditions.

SELL SIGNALS:
10/10 @ $152.01 –0.3%
10/29 @ $157.88 +3.5%
10/31 @ $156.84 +2.9%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: The 10 DMA Never Lies

  • When price action slips under the 10 DMA, momentum is fading.

  • The line acts like a pulse — once it weakens, the move is losing life.

  • Selling early protects capital and keeps you aligned with strength.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Don’t Let Weak Stocks Waste Your Capital

  • When a stock loses its 10 DMA, momentum has shifted.

  • Capital tied up in a weak name is capital that can’t chase strength.

  • Staying disciplined with exits keeps your portfolio efficient and focused.

MON 10/20: J – BUYING (1/3) @ $156.69

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, J, JTPP

10:22 AM – Shares are advancing from the 10 DMA this morning with a sharp increase in volume — always a bullish sign of renewed institutional interest. Starting with a 1/3 position here.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Buying From the 10 DMA with Volume

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

  • When a stock advances from this line with conviction and strong volume, it often marks the start of a new move.

  • Buying near the 10 DMA keeps risk tight and rewards disciplined entries.
