The stock market’s rally has been impressive since the start of 2018. The major indexes are now up about 8 percent in just one month, pushing RSI readings at levels not seen for a long time. As I mentioned on twitter yesterday, high RSI readings are usually interpreted as indications that a market is overbought, and 88 is a pretty high level for the RSI specifically in an index . So, based on that factor, i recommend you to be prepared for a potential pullback by holding a diversified portfolio with some protection because nothing can go up forever. I started buying some volatility last week as I think this market euphoria could end badly without some kind of consolidation or correction, and the volatility will be back again and much bigger than what we've seen before. That’s my thoughts and it must be seen as such, just a thought with some rationality. Honestly, i believe the easy gains have already been made in this market, and the losses on any downside move could be very sharp, erasing any profits that have piled up. Not wanting to scare anyone, the euphoria is not good in any case. I lived the dot com boom/burst and now im better prepared for anything that might happen. I still holding few longs positions in small/big names. Even so, there are some interesting setups that I will share for the coming week. As usual, use tight stops and have always a plan in mind for the ones that tends to fail.

With the VIX trading above its EMA200, and with the short-term EMAs turning up, it appears the market's volatility could be back in the near term.
