Trading System Signals on 07/31/2025 - Persistent Pollyanna Pavlovic Dip Buying

After a 12 hour surge higher from 4pm EST yesterday until about 3:45 am EST today, the market had several waves of selling that we were able to take advantage of on the short side. It was interesting to note the Key Reversal up on June 23 that started this rally and the Key Reversal down today, on the last day of July as we go into AAPL and AMZN earnings after the bell and if this could be the start of a correction, pullback, or more after an extended runup.


It was interesting to watch the price surge at 4:00 pm EST, similar to yesterday but the surge was "slammed" today. The month of July could be characterized as a Persistent Pollyanna Pavlovic Dip Buying market.


Hypothetical Trading System Portfolio Results:

Stock Index Portfolio 18 = +$8,835 per E-mini

Two System Portfolio NQ = no trades


While we wait for AAPL earnings, I wouldn't be surprised to see a surprise sell off after the runup this month. When AAPL had the highest market cap, the saying was "As Apple Goes, So Goes the Market". We will see....


Today was the last day of trading. Stay tuned for July results and the strategy to trade in August.
