[At Open] Entered Calls @ $180.72
[After Close]
We have been anticipating this bull flag (like 11/11 – 11/13) after a huge thrust on Wednesday. But as it gaps down on Thursday and Friday mornings, I obviously did not know if it was going to bounce after gap down open on Friday but thought I had a great risk/reward ratio at that level. If we can close above $182.00 next week, I can see this thing going much higher to my target of $188-$190.

Let’s keep the gap open and grind higher, though, I won’t be surprised to see it come back down to retest that $181.50ish as “old resistance new support” before thrusting higher. But the perspective is we are at the all time highs and cleared major resistance level of over a month. We stay above $181.50ish, I think we can get to my target of $188-$190 level. Still holding full positions.

Here are the tangible facts:
- No tangible reversal signal as of today
- Trend is always assumed in effect until it gives us definite signal of reversal
- Today’s candle is not indicative of any known reversal signal
- Well above daily 5EMA
- Well above daily 10EMA
- Gaps are still open as of today
- Weekly chart also looks good
- No reason to call tops here
I am still in my full positions since $180.72

[12:15pm CST] Positions Closed with 37.51% Profit
I had been holding Feb. ITM calls as I have gotten stopped out of my positions earlier this afternoon with 37.51% gain. Sometimes you get hit with unexpected as it gaped down without much of warning this morning. We are still closing above 10EMA today so I would have to give benefit of the doubt to the buyers as of today. Definitely not a level to short (unless day trading). Unlike $SPY, $DIA seems to be looking more bullish as I am still holding call positions there.

Great work! Sticking with your plans/system is the most difficult part of trading.
Kay,
I got calls today.
Ready for this market to explode once traders come back after New Years Day.
Good luck.
Zex_M19 nice $188 still my target. After two days of rest (bull flag) looks like a bull flag breakout to me (today) if we can close with some candle body.
