WED 1/14: RY – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $168.60 +11.9%

SELL SIGNALS:
12/9 (1/3) @ $163.42 +8.4%
1/13 (1/3) @ $168.85 +12.0%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Resistance Decides the Exit

  • When the 10 DMA repeatedly caps price, momentum has shifted.

  • Trending lower from resistance is the market’s confirmation, not noise.

  • Finishing trades cleanly protects gains and keeps capital ready for the next opportunity.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: When the 10 DMA Turns Down, Listen

  • Stocks that remain stuck below the 10 DMA are losing short-term control.

  • A rolling 10 DMA often precedes further consolidation or pullback.

  • Taking profits as momentum fades protects gains and prevents round-trips.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Take Profits Into Strength

  • Taking profits into strength preserves gains while keeping you in control of your capital.

  • Profit-taking is not weakness — it’s disciplined risk management that compounds over time.
