Tuesday, April 1, 2025 -Monday, March 31st, ended with some bounce attempts in a still weak market, and while names like NVIDIA and Tesla might offer short-term opportunities, they remain stuck in downtrends below declining 5-day moving averages, so any trades should be treated as tactical day trades only. Keep an eye on the 2-day VWAP and daily VWAP levels for pullback setups, but only if they aren’t extended into those moves. MAGS, bonds, and others are best used for broader context, not active trading. WAY bounced but needs time to set up again, possibly for a short later this week. LUV is still in pullback mode, and while it has a strong longer-term case with upcoming fee-based earnings growth, it's early — a small call position was initiated as a “just in case,” but the ideal buy would come after more basing. EAT, Qualcomm, and Redfin all need more time; short setups may emerge if they bounce and fail at key VWAP or moving average levels. CTRA and KMI (energy names) showed relative strength, but after big runs, they need digestion. OUT has a 6.8% dividend, making it unappealing to short. Bottom line: we’re still in a market with downward pressure, so unless you’re nimble and tactical, this is not a good environment for swing trades — stick to setups, manage size, and stay patient.
