TUE 8/12: ULS – Triggers a 1st SELL SIGNAL, Then Stages Positive Reversal

8:56 PM – I called a prudent SELL SIGNAL on ULS early yesterday morning after Monday’s turn-back from the 10 DMA with a negative reversal into the close — two clear technical violations. Shares opened Tuesday’s session lower on increased volume, which added a technical concern. However, the stock went on to post a positive reversal by the close, a bullish sign in the near term. That said, resistance at the 10 DMA — currently at $68.47 — still looms. A decisive close above this level would be an additional bullish signal.

SELL SIGNALS:

8/12 @ $66.40  -6.1%

An ULTRA Trader’s Tip: A Turn-Back From the 10 DMA = Sell Signal

  • Recognize a rejection at the 10 DMA as a clear technical warning.
  • Consider trimming or exiting to protect profits.
  • Reassess only if price action reclaims the 10 DMA with strong volume.

3:58 PM – Stocks is starting to become extended from its 10 DMA ($40.36) by +5.2% as volume is below average for today’s session. This makes a pullback more likely, so we are locking in some decent profits here and calling a first of what can become three SELL SIGNALS here before the close.
