Started the first week of February with market further thrusted by setting a new high for the year, and NH/NL continues to print strong underlying data alongside $MMTW. $SPY hit a year to date high on 2nd February as $META led the market with a +23% day gain after beating its revenue estimates for Q4’23. Spillover effect on $XLC +6.6% surge for that day creates wholesome of euphoria to take test position into $IGVand $SOCL industry group names.
Consolidation from first pullback in the market took place from 3rd to 16th feb before first undercutting key moving averages 20-MA. Only managed to brake and slowdown on my trading rhythm by then. Could have been a whole lot worse for the month if i did not cut down my trade frequency from 110 (January) to 69 (this month). 5 key trades (namely $ASRT, $BORR, $TMV, $DBD, $IREN) make up to almost 23 losing trades.
