Still a very mixed, choppy market.  I saw this tweet by Mark Minervini pointing out something similar to what I've been focused on (% of stocks above the 50 DMA) for the last few weeks:

Institutional money has been hiding in the old heavily weighted mega cap tech names, and that is propping up the Nasdaq Composite relative to the other indexes. However, when you look under the hood you see that only 20% of Nasdaq stocks are above their 50-day moving average lines and only 29% are above the 200-day, which tells you that participation is still thin. Before getting aggressive in this market, I'm looking for better action from breakout names and broader participation outside the old leaders.
Like Mark, I'm continuing to bide my time (mostly) curating watchlists & waiting for better market internals (or bearish setups).

Great post TraderMike.  I am doing much the same.  Mostly looking for bearish setups (Expansion Sell Breakouts, Expansion Pivot Sells, etc.).

It's definitely a stick & move market right now!  Can't hold anything too long (long or short) due to all the chop
