The little overnight pullback hasn’t amounted to much here at 4:30 AM ET. The uptrend ran into resistance yesterday, but the current iteration of the hourly uptrend remains intact. It would need to end the 5-6 AM hour below 3515 to break anything. That trendline rises to 3525 in the market opening half hour.
I have no new 2-3 day or 5 day cycle projections yet. Yesterday’s rally met all the upside projections. But if the market shifts into trending mode, which it appears to be doing, then it will keep going up without oscillating enough to extract projections.
On the 30 minute chart, you can plainly see the flying dragon formation with all its fearsome implications. This is truly one of the most famous and most feared chart patterns of them all. God help us all.

Meanwhile, the big picture.
Scheduled liquidity data has told us for a couple of months that October would be bullish. That played out like a charm in terms of the technical analysis last week. We also know that liquidity only gets more bullish this week. The technical picture confirms that outlook. We must give the bullish factors the benefit of the doubt.
My stock pick screens confirm that. I’m adding 7 picks from those screens this week, 5 long and 2 short. That will leave 13 open picks, including 11 longs, and the 2 new shorts.
Four chart picks were stopped out last week. Needless to say, all were shorts. The two older picks had nice gains, partly offset by small losses in the short side picks from last week.
The list performance improved sharply last week as the average holding time increased a bit. Gains doubled from an average 3.2% to an average of 6.4%. The average holding period last week was 20 calendar days, up from 17 days the previous week. The average holding period has ranged from 16 to 22 days, or just over two to three weeks.
