‘Mechanical’ trades should be getting your attention by now, especially since Friday’s guidance for the Dow could have gotten you aboard a 375-point rally just a few points off the intraday low. The same applied to Boeing, which bottomed on the green line where we typically place ‘mechanical’ bids. (The stop-loss would have been at 317.38, a tick beneath the point ‘C’ low.) There was implied entry risk of $6800 on a four-lot purchase, so this trade was not for everyone, even experienced Pivoteers. However, keep in mind that when ‘mechanical’ entries like this one are generated, one can ‘convert’ the signals to a camouflage or counterintuitive set-ups to reduce theoretical risk to a small fraction of what it would be if you trade the big pattern. Whether you acted or not, the fact that Boeing signaled a buy at the green line should tip your bias bullish when stocks start to trade again Sunday evening. _______ UPDATE (March 5, 6:55 p.m.): Boeing ended the day above the 351.61 midpoint Hidden Pivot. If it can do it again on Tuesday, or trade 354.00 or higher intraday, I’d make the stock an odds-on bet to achieve the 385.83 target shown in the chart. ________ UPDATE (March 6, 8:33 p.m.): Tuesday’s pop created a bullish impulse leg on the 30-minute chart (although not on the hourly), but I am skeptical the pattern will produce a winner in the form of a move to the 364.62 target shown. Let’s watch and wait.
