Many stocks have been climbing the "wall of worry" in a choppy fashion. But the fact remains that many of these stocks are still climbing.
It is also important to try to pick stocks that are already showing some positive attributes (eg those that were breaking out of a base formation or already started to move above the 200day moving average etc). Whether to sit tight through steep retracements or to swing in and out depends on one's entry level and risk tolerance.
Despite being choppy with retracements of at least 50-60% of each mini upswings, DKS has been on the uptrend since Nov last year, trading not only above it's 200 day MA but also above it's upward sloping 50day MA since 27 Dec.
It eventually broke above a longer term horizontal resistance @ 137 on 7 March (after earnings beat) but soon started yet another steep retracement. This time all the way back down below this "resistance turned support" level, just to fill the gap @ 133 and then started to rebound yesterday.
A bullish divergence (between price and RSI) is now apparent. Hence, it is probably ripe to long this recent pullback as soon as price starts to go above yesterday's candle high @ 139 with initial stop loss just sllghtly below the recent pivot low at 133.
Let's see if this "resistance turning support @ 137" is going to hold this time as DKS begins it's journey into ATH (all-time-high). Manage with trailing stops.
