The Flag Has Not Moved

Pretty choppy day yesterday in the SPY, both the Buyers and Seller were only half trying to move the flag. Price action closed above the Red Lower T-Line Band and closed below the Green Upper T-Line Band. Our 34-ema trend line is on the bullish side of the dividing line; the conclusion is the SPY is still on the bullish side of the trend. The VIX has been feeling pretty good lately; now with a low/high – higher low in place and a possible bullish Inverted Head and Shoulder forming, this is a clue to be a little cautious. We bought (T) AT&T on the 19th currently up 25.5%, T was both an RBB and T-Line Band auto alert from LTA- Live Trading Alerts. (KO) Coke is another, entered on the 25th from the T-Line Band Auto Alert.

Save time reviewing hundreds of charts. ✅Find EXACTLY the right set up by being alerted for only those tickers that qualify.  ✅Stop “Chasing trades” by being alerted of the move (not finding out later.) ✅Eliminate “trouble pulling the trigger” (be sure when a ticker is moving.) ✅Stop “leaving money on the table” (manage your exits with lower-time alerts.) Stop “Predicting” by trading alerts that show the turn, not forecast it. ✅Stop ignoring the overall market (by watching alerts on DIA, SPY, IWM, QQQ.)  ✅Gain massive efficiency over flipping through charts (hoping to find them at just the right time) or waiting on someone to feed you trade ideas.

A Full Plate

Rumors of a US/China negotiations breakthrough, declining 10-year Treasury yields and busy earnings and economic calendars the market has a full plate this morning.  The question is will it be a satisfying meal or will it cause indigestion?  On the Economic Calendar the GDP according to consensus is expected to decline and Jobless Claims rise slightly at 8:30 AM Eastern.  One has to wonder if that could fuel growth concerns or if the numbers will come in better than expected to reduce those concerns.

The technical s of the index charts don’t provide much in the way of clarity either.  The QQQ remains the market leader holding on to a nice uptrend while the DIA and IWM struggle with resistance in a modest downtrend.  The SPY appears to want to break the tie but continues to hover just above support and below resistance with indecisive price action.  I think it’s safe to say anything is possible so plan accordingly.

On the Calendar

We have nearly 120 companies reporting earnings on the calendar today.  Notable reports include, ACN & QIWI.

Action Plan

Futures were looking lower last night as Asian markets reacted negatively to the declining 10-year treasury yield.  However, with the rumor of a US/China breakthrough in the trade negotiations European markets are up across the board and the US Futures have responded bullishly bouncing off their overnight lows.  As I write this Futures point to a flat open but with nearly 120 companies reporting earnings and a full economic calendar it’s anyone’s guess how we open trading today.

The consensus is suggesting a decline in the GDP number and a slight increase in Jobless Claims 8:30 AM Eastern.  It will be interesting to see if these two reports will add to or take away from the economic slowdown concerns.  The DIA and the IWM are still in technical down-trends under significant resistance levels even after the nice recovery off of yesterdays lows.  The SPY continues to hover between support and resistance and the QQQ remains the strongest of the indexes holding on to its uptrend.  With so many factors pushing and pulling the market today anything is possible.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

Good Grief!

Sorry everyone but due to a technical problem there is no blog post this morning.  However, the morning video is available with the link below.

Teamwork and Four Sisters

A mixed bag of trading lately, both longs and shorts are working. This goes to show you the indecision and lack of conviction and teamwork with the four sisters. Let’s take a look at the T-Line Bands trending direction in the SPY, DIA’s IWM and QQQ’s. You can see both the SPY and the QQQ’s are trending up while both the DIA’s and the IWM charts are trending down. Two charts not show is the VT and VTI, both are barely in a bullish trend. The point I am trying to make is the market is a bit flustered with subjects like Recession, Feds, World economy, Politics, Trade war, Earnings. Here are a few solid trading tips: Trend, Price Action, Candlesticks, Chart patterns, Support and Resistance, and Strategies.  Think before you trade, plan your trade and trade your plan. If that is confusing for you, let us know maybe we can help.

Love The Job Of Trading

You have to love the job of trading, one day like yesterday the SPY closes the day with a bear controlled candle, then you wake up the next day, and the futures look as if the bulls are going to have a great day. (Love the job of trading). Yesterday the SPY closed with a Doji using the 34-ema as the moving average support, so far so good but the price action today will need to show that the Bulls have staying power. Yesterday’s Doji also closed right at the Lower Red T-Band. (See chart). It is clearly obvious the SPY struggles to keep even one leg over the $280ish wall. With the VIX showing Bullish activity and the DIA’s and IWM showing weakness, this market is filled with sharks circling looking for dinner. Cash is a good position sometimes when there is a lack of clarity, but if you are trading use the trends, price action (Candlesticks), proven patterns and strategies.

A welcome relief

A welcome relief

While the market keeps a close eye on possible interest rate inversion and possible economic slowdown the US Futures point to a bullish open and a welcome relief to last Friday’s selloff.  Currently the Dow futures point to more than a 100 point gap up as I write this but still has to clear the Housing Starts hurdle at 8:30 AM Eastern.  A miss of consensus estimates could fuel the fire of economic slowdown while a beat could clear the way for a bullish morning gap.

As nice a relief rally may be please remember it will take a huge effort by the bulls to clear the technical damage created in last Friday’s selloff.  The DIA and IWM still the lower high and are technically in a downtrend.  The SPY while technically stronger still has significant resistance to deal with while the QQQ continues to enjoy the benefits of market leadership.  Be careful not to get caught up in fear of missing out and chasing into positions as the market tests price resistance.

On the Calendar

calendar

We have just under 60 companies reporting quarterly earnings today.  Notable reports today include CRON, OLLI, CCL FDS, INFO, KBH, MKC & VALE.

Action Plan

After a very indecisive price action day the DIA finished up a whopping $0.11, SPY down $0.21, QQQ down $0.31 and IWM up $0.66 we have a substantial change of attitude this morning.  First Asian markets closed mixed but the NIKKEI and HIS posted solid gains lifting the US Futures.  The good vibes continue this morning with European markets bullish across the board with modest gains.  As I write this Dow futures suggest a gap up of more than 100 points but we still have some economic hurdles to cross before the open.

Besides some notable earnings the 8:30 AM Housing Starts number will be important this morning amidst the worries of an economic slowdown.  Consensus estimates of 1.213 million units which is just slightly less than the previous reading.  Although a gap up will be a nice relief remember we still have substantial technical issues to overcome particularly in the DIA and IWM so we must still keep a close eye on price resistance levels above.  However, the QQQ is still technically sound holding higher lows and continues as the market leader at the moment.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

A bit more Volatile

Volatile

If the US futures are any indication of the day we have ahead we should expect price action to become a bit more volatile and challenging and the 21% one day rally in VIX seems to confirm that possibility.  During the night the Dow futures were up more than 100 points shortly after the open but reversed sharply and traded more than 120 points lower as Asian markets fell sharply due to global growth concerns.

Technically both the DIA and the IWM have confirmed lower high failures at price resistance.  Although Friday’s price action raises major concerns for the SPY the pullback in QQQ is only a test of support and the overall uptrend at this point.  Currently the US futures are only pointing to a modestly lower open but we should expect an extra dose of price volatility so plan your risk carefully.

On the Calendar

On the Earnings Calendar we have over 70 companies reporting earnings today.  Among the notable reports RHT 7 WGO.

Action Plan

After 2-years of investigation it would seem the Mueller findings have cleared the President of the collusion with Russia.  The Attorney General also says the report did not find enough evidence to charge the president with obstruction of justice.  Now one would think that mess is finally behind us but I would bet money that’s it’s far from over and will become a never-ending story in the political spin cycle.  Rockets fired into Israel will cut the Netanyahu visit to the US short and raises concerns of a violent escalation in the area.

Futures have been a roller-coaster ride overnight.  First the Dow futures rallied more than 100 points after the AG cleared the president.  Then Asian markets opened and fell sharply with the Dow futures reversing and dropping more than 120 points.  European markets are modestly lower across the board but the early morning pump has the US futures suggesting only a modestly lower open as I write this.  I will not be at all surprised if both the overnight high and low get tested at some point during the day.  Remember Friday’s sharp escalation in VIX suggests a bit more volatility price action is not out of the question so plan your risk accordingly.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

Price Action Being Tested

Price action tested by both the buyers and the sellers, use extreme caution.  Friday the SPY closed below the lower MegaPhone line (Bearish clue) and above our Red Green Line (Bullish clue). With the political trash, today’s market should be pretty screwed up. The DIA’s have posted three lower highs (Bearish clue), Friday the DIA’s closed below the Red Green line (Bearish clue) and above the March low (Consolidation clue). IWM closed below the RED Green line (Bearish clue) and below the March low (Bearish clue). The QQQ’s are in a Bullish trend, and Friday’s candle suggests a lower low today. As I said screwed up! Sure glad we follower our Friday rule and closed a few positions to be lighter going into the weekend. As I approach the trading week, it will be with extreme caution, a few longs and shorts always remembering that cash is a position if the market gets too unruly. Something to always remember being a swing trader is that you don’t have to trade every day and sitting in cash for a day or two is ok.
