VXX Remains a Bullish Chart

October 26, 2018 by Rick Saddler

VXX Remains a Bullish Chart

The VXX chart remains a bullish chart pattern, yesterday in the trading room I mentioned that as long as the VIX is a bullish chart pattern, the market will remain bearish.

Holly cow, another 300 point drop this morning in the DOW, and a test of yesterdays low. And we are flirting with January 1, 2018 numbers. The SPY and the DIA charts are bearish patterns even with the Harami that printed yesterday.

The 80/20 rule has been a valuable rule for me over the years, 80% of stock follow the SPY/SP-500, something to think about.

FANG has a Cavity

October 26, 2018 by Doug Campbell

FANG has a Cavity

It would appear that after the very disappointing earnings results from AMZN and GOOG that the so-called FANG has a cavity. Indeed a very big cavity that spread its pain all around the world. Both, Asian and European market are both lower this morning. US Futures indicate that yesterday’s 400 point Dow rally will be completely wiped out this morning with an ugly gap down open.

As painful as this might be for you this morning I want to leave you with a positive thought as we head into the weekend. Good stocks are falling to fire-sale prices which mean there will be some amazing bargains when this is over. For most traders, the best course of action in such high volatile times is to stand aside and protect your capital. If you try to fight it, your money will disappear. Better days are on the way, just be patient and wait for your edge to return.

On the Calendar

We have a light day on the Friday Economic Calendar, but it begins with the heavyweight market-moving GDP 8:30 AM report. The consensus estimate expects a 3.3 percent annualized vs. 4.3 percent in the second quarter. The GDP price index is seen declining to 2.0 percent vs. the 3.0 last reading. Consumer Sentiment is expected to show confidence to remains very strong with a reading of 99.0 in October. We wrap up the calendar week with the Baker-Hughes Rig Count at 1:00 PM.

On the Earnings Calendar, there are 67 companies expected to report results.

Action Plan

With the hugely disappointing results in the big tech earnings after the bell futures are pointing to a very nasty gap down this morning. AMZN is currently indicated to lose more than $170 a share from yesterdays close with GOOG close behind dropping nearly $70 a share. It would seem FANG has a huge and painful cavity!

Yesterday’s 400 point Dow rally looks to be completely wiped out at the open today. The big question now on the mind of the market; Will Thursday’s low hold as support? If not the next strong level of support is about 600 points lower in the Dow and 75 points lower in the SP-500. The pain has spread around the world with Asian markets closing sharply lower and European markets all in the red this morning. With a 400 point overnight reversal, expect very fast price action and the possibility of panic selling if the supports fail. Better days are coming, and with stocks dropping to fire sale prices there will be a great opportunity when this is over. Have a great weekend everyone.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

October 25, 2018 by Rick Saddler

VRS Blue Ice Short Setup

VRS is presenting us with a Blue Ice Failure Pattern the Dredded Bearish “h” pattern and the V-Stop. VRS has been trending up and started to show signs of fatigue early October. The early October weekly Evening Star pushed price below the V-Stop and to the 50-SMA where price tested and even tried to become bullish again; the sellers did not see that way. Price has closed below the 50-SMA. Short on price action below $28.57.

SPY • Squeezed Like a Lemon

2018 gains have been squeezed out of the market like you would squeeze a lemon! Yesterday the SPY (S&P-500) printed another new low squeezing all the gains out of the market but I am very happy to report Hit and Run Candlesticks is up over 350% and members have reported positive numbers as well! I truly believe the key has been strong education and the power of respecting the trend and price action. I ended yesterday closer to cash because of is a way to volatile. The trend is down but we are very oversold, and a relief rally is near. When I see a clear dominate trade, I will take it another wise I will stay cautious.

Yesterdays low $264.70 is the new mark for the bulls to defend and $274.95 is a number the bulls need to capture, followed by $278.25.

VRS Setup and Trade Plan

October 25, 2018 by Ed Carter

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is VRS short.

Members can join us in Trading Room #1 as Rick reviews this setup and other Trade-Ideas at 9:10am Eastern. For now, here are my own analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

VRS has formed a Head & Shoulders pattern, coupled with a Blue Ice Failure pattern and a Dreaded-h pattern. It has broken (or is testing) the last Support level before a large void down to the $22.45 area.

I will look for a short entry on follow-through with a substantial Stop and a single target (off daily and weekly charts).

Please consider the volatile market with big candles and also earnings. Trading at all at such times is a very risky proposition.

With at least 3 weeks until earnings and one bullish to 5 bearish conditions, VRS a nice chart setup. However, keep in mind the very volatile market and the risk that earnings throws the market the other direction.

TV20/20 tells us this plan offers a nice 3.27:1 Reward/Risk ($605/$185). That would equate to a 21.23% gain. However, it requires a bit more risk to stop-out than I’d prefer…and the market has been very volatile. Pre-markets are also indicating we’ll gap higher and there are many earnings out before, during and after the session. Caution is the word of the day.

Having this knowledge before a trade is even entered makes it much easier to control emotions and maintain discipline.

Below is my markup of the chart and the trade plan as laid out by Trader Vision 20/20. As a bonus, if you click the green button below, you’ll be able to watch a video of the chart markup and trade planning process.

The Trade Plan

Note how Trader Vision 20/20 does so much of the work for you. Knowing the ratio of Bullish Conditions to Bearish ones as well as the overall risk of the position size, the risk to Stop out and the Reward possible at each Target price can help a great deal with controlling our emotions. Knowing the dollar impact of every scenario ahead of time, allows us to make calm decisions during the trade. It really takes the pressure off. No guesswork. No surprises. No emotional roller coaster.

Testimonial

Trader Vision immediately simplified the process…immediately it provided that information and guidance to me. I knew what I would risk for how much reward, I began taking trades off at the 1st target, 2nd target, I was no longer holding all my trades for the homerun. I also began implementing the stop losses if and when they were reached, not just hoping the stock would recover. It then became easier to see what patterns were working for me and which were not. It provided a much more relaxed and stress-free environment. –Joan G

Capitulation

October 25, 2018 by Doug Campbell

Capitulation

The news-driven selloff seems to have finally reached a capitulation point yesterday. Sadly those that sold yesterday afternoon had also to suffer the indignity of seeing the futures bounce strongly almost immediately after the closing bell. Although we should expect volatility to remain very high with very fast and challenging price action, I think we have reached the point where institutions and value buyers will begin to support current prices.

Of course, earnings are the big unknown and if we see some of the big techs disappoint the market, the bears could easily maintain control. With the VIX closing above a 25 handle, any major disappointment in earnings could evolve from fear into outright panic. Consequently, the price action will most likely be very challenging and not a place for those faint of heart. Extreme intraday whips are possible so plan your risk very carefully.

On the Calendar

We begin Wednesday with three potential market-moving reports at 8:30 AM Eastern. First, Durable Goods Orders expects September to decline by 1.5 percent after surging 4.4 percent in August. International Trade in Goods sees the deficit narrowing to 74.7 billion vs. 75.5 billion in August. The Weekly Jobless Claims are expected to remain near historic lows but rising slightly to 212,000 this week. After that Retail Inventories and Wholesale Inventories @ 8:30 AM, Pending Home Sales Index @ 10:00 AM, Natural Gas Report @ 10:30 AM, Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Index, and 2-Bond Announcements @ 11:00 AM, a Fed Speaker @ 12:15 PM, a Bond Auction at 1:00 PM, the Fed Balance Sheet and Money Supply at 4:30 PM, and a Fed Speaker to finally close the calendar day at 7:00 PM.

There are far too many notable companies to list this morning. We have 339 companies reporting today on the Economic Calendar including several big techs that typically move the market. Make double sure your checking current holdings for earnings.

Action Plan

Yesterday I mentioned with T2122 indicating an oversold condition that I was favoring a bounce for Wednesday. However, as the news rolled out about explosive devices sent through the mail, the market has other plans. It’s unfortunate that many traders were likely squeezed out and then saw the futures almost immediately rebound after the bell.

Looking over the internal damage, I believe we have finally reached that critical capitulation point where we will see institutional and value buyers begin to support current prices. Volatility will likely remain very high and with more than 300 companies reporting today very fast price action will make it very challenging. Keep in mind that if this is the market low at some time in the future, it is very likely to be retested. Of course, if some of the big tech names reporting disappoint today, the bears could easily push on lower. Plan your risk very carefully and the weekend approaches.

Trade Wisely,

Doug
