Watch for the live CAT bounceThis is a short term trade.
to specify, short term meaning no more than 2 hour trade(Perhaps max) I'm pretty sure we break above the close Tuesdays 152.95. The quicker you are in the morning, the better. Hopefully we get a quick bounce off of 152.70s to launch into 153.50s.
And the final reminder, this trade is no longer than 2 hours. At the very least, trail a stop loss just in case it runs beyond 153.70s.
Lets see how I do on the CAT call(s)

CAT lesson - Open was Bullish & End was BearishYou need to understand that price action always comes back to 20 moving average or middle of Bollinger Indicator. When anything is overstretched, like a rubber band and let go, it will come back to normal or back in balance. No price action can continue to either go up and/or down for long, that is why oversold and/or overbought areas are very important, in your trading.
*IF you were all in buying CAT at beginning of today and did not understand this LESSON, you would have took a huge loss of $15.00 per share. Be flexible and understand price action and trust both your EYES and charts, they will tell you were they are going in the future.
