Semiconductors, led by Micron's chip-tastic earnings surprise, did the robot, while small caps boogied to the beat of broad-based gains.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">Volatility, that party pooper, reared its ugly head, sending indicators flashing \"caution tape yellow\" after a month-long rally pushed optimism into the \"fruitcake-fruitful\" zone. Bond yields, still on their downward slide, might just do a tequila slam and spike higher, throwing the whole market into a conga line of confusion.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">So, what's the holiday investing game plan?

A clear<strong> inverted head and shoulders pattern has broken above the neckline<\/strong>, indicating a possible breakout and making the market participants shout \u201cSurf\u2019s up!\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">This bullish sign points to a possible <strong>rally towards the first resistance zone around $33.45<\/strong> \u2013 a key level to watch in the short term. But don\u2019t forget to be careful. If the price loses steam, a pullback to the neckline at $23.00 is likely. That\u2019s why using a stop-loss order below the neckline is smart to protect your downside.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">Ultimately, it\u2019s up to you to decide if you want to trade MARA right now. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous, you can jump in right away. If you\u2019re more cautious, you can wait for a possible retest of the neckline for confirmation before opening a position.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">No matter what your risk appetite is, it\u2019s vital to have a solid trading plan and follow good risk management practices. With close monitoring and proper risk control, you can ride the current technical wave of MARA and make some profits.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">Key Takeaways:<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 140%;\">Bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern breakout confirmed.
