X provides a low risk setup as it pulls back to the 50 day moving average. If the market tanks, X will go down with it, but losses are easily managed at this level.
X: Low Risk Setup
Buy the Dip
I'd suggest most traders continue to stay on the sidelines. If trading, my preference right now is short term long plays. Homebuilders and airlines look good, but only on pullbacks.
Can We Buy CNX’s Pullback?
