January 15th Swing Watch List
JOY – A clean looking reversal setup with plenty of liquidity and room. Looking for a long entry over 9.42, stop 9.20. Room here is to 10.42 short term.
BX – Great room up off the bottom for yet another reversal look. Long entry over 25.86, stop 25.50. Room here is to 26.80 and then 28.50. Great risk reward setup here, but we will need market cooperation.
WRLD – A great looking short candidate trading just above multiple suppor taps at the 34 area. If that area falls, easy move back down. Looking for a short entry under 34, add spot 33.30. Room here is clear down to 29.20 and 27.
