Longer term trend is stalling. It is important to note that. 

- 50SMA taps are becoming more frequent
- We are dropping below some technical patterns
- Have a head and shoulders brewing

I am a long term bulls but for my swing trading I want to trade with the prevailing trend, hence I have started raising cash & sized down on positions. Nothing wrong with protecting gains, when things pullback and we have a base - I will press reset and get back to normal. 

Just sharing what I see.
