I made a nice profit on ALXN by exiting cautiously under its short term high at 39.22

I've had many bullish trade set ups in the health care sector, and now, all are kaput.
Needless to say, I was pissed Thursday. Now I need one of my walls repaired since I punched a hole in it after realizing that my my filled entries in MDT and AMAG are losing trades ruined by political garbage.
So long health care sector. Nice knowing ya.
The only bulls left are in technology now. SMH and XLK to be exact. You can argue there are the education stocks, sure, but I don't think those trends will last very long.

Anyway, I got interested in 168, 268 and 423% Fibonacci retracement levels lately because they have been proven to be consistently hit in many of stocks on my watchlist lately.

As to exits of this long swing trade, I drew the fib levels from March '08 trough to June '08 peak, and the 423.6% fib level there is at 835.71.
So buy at 703, sell at 835 could be my next market timing strategy if I also see the following:
Some exhaustion levels in volume, extremely low bullish percentage levels, NYSE new lows screaming higher, and divergence in TICK average compared to prior short term low.
At least 3 of 4 must happen and one of them has to be exhaustive volume fo sho.
Taking another look at fib levels, I went all the way back to the 1987 crash and placed some fib levels there:

731 was also an important support level in 1997.
