Today's bullish picks are based on analyst upgrades. For the past week, analyst upgraded 7 stocks in the trucking industry. Using the bull-vs-bear chart, the market looks like still headed for another down day. The bigger picture is that the market is still in a downtrend for more than a year and uptrend for the last 3 months. With that in mind, some buyers will look at the short-term trend as potential signs of long-term trend reversal so any opportunity for dip will be a buy. You can the use the hourly charts(especially between 3-4 of the trading period) and watch for a divergence between the price and the Stochastics(or even MACD-H) signals to better time your entries and therefore maximize your profits and minimize your losses(using stops) in case the market doesn't go in your favor.
