A Cautious Strategy for Uncertain Markets (And Another Breakout)

Hey, Ross here:

Here’s another actionable trading idea for you.

Chart of the Day

Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) is the #1 semiconductor stock in the market. It ranks first among all 31 of its peers in both earnings and relative strength.

The stock put in a shallow base from mid-February to this week with three progressively shallower pullbacks.

It also made a textbook shakeout move on March 13 to run stops and consolidate shares further. Notice how that candle made a new low then rallied back to close the day in the upper half of the candle.

That is a textbook shakeout and usually a bullish sign.

This is a market-leading stock that has shown incredible resilience even in shaky market conditions. If the market is to rally here, ALGM should lead the way.

I have a position in ALGM with a stop loss near $43.50.

Insight of the Day

In uncertain markets, the best move is to cautiously play short-term rallies.

Markets seem to have no clear direction. Depending on what major news comes down the pipeline, it might rally or it might fall.

But over the longer-term period, it seems to have stayed mostly flat. We’re still lacking a clear and sustained direction.

In such situations, I believe the best move is to cautiously play short-term rallies in individual stocks.

Ride the rallies – but always be ready to get out when it starts fizzling out.

This “stealth breakout” strategy is perfect for doing that – so make sure you check out the details while you still can. 

And here’s more good news – for a limited time only, you can get your hands on it for just $5.

Embrace the surge,
