In my “Buy and Trade” investment strategy you are buying weakness to the low end of the trading ranges with more than 90% of all stocks undervalued as they were at last Thursday’s lows. At those lows the Dow Industrial Average was testing its 200-week and 120-month simple moving averages at 10,665 and 10,595. As we get back towards the upper end of the trading range, which is at 11,715 in Dow terms the percentage of undervalued stocks falls to about 80%. Keep in mind that I have those annual pivots at 11,491 Dow and 1210.7 SPX. Every market and every stock has a Value Level at which to buy on weakness and a Risky Level at which to sell on strength. This is how you use fundamentals and technicals in short-term market timing, which helps you benefit from this severe market volatility. The yield on the 10-Year note bottomed at my semiannual risky level at 1.672. For gold my semiannual pivot is a magnet at $1644.8. Crude oil keeps fluctuating around its 200-week simple moving average at $83.66.
10-Year Note – (1.990) Semiannual, annual, monthly and quarterly value levels are 2.414, 2.690, 2.715 and 3.053 with daily, semiannual and weekly risky levels at 1.750, 1.672 and 1.369. My semiannual risky level at 1.672 was tested last Friday.

The daily chart shows a double-top with the 200-day simple moving average as important support at $1524.3 and the 50-day as resistance at $1743.8.
