Brave Face before the mid-term.
Brave Face before the mid-term.
This morning the US Futures are trying to put on a brave face before the mid-term election indicating a bullish open. While the water may seem calm on the surface, there is likely significant turbulence lurking just below. Futures were lower most of the night so don’t rule out the possible test of the overnight lows during the day.
Combine trade war rhetoric, mid-term election, and nearly 1500 earnings reports this week, and the stage is set for fast price action and high volatility. After the morning pop wait to see if actual buyers step in to support the gap or if we have a replay of Friday’s pop and drop. As the old saying goes, patience is a virtue. In the current market condition, patience is also a critical skill every trader should endeavor to master. Wait for your edge to return! Remember Santa is coming to town, and his bullish presence historically begins mid to late November.
On the Calendar
On the Earnings Calendar, we have 270 companies reporting earnings today with nearly 1500 by the end of the week. Make sure your checking earnings dates against all current and proposed positions.
Acton Plan
We have an interesting market setup this morning. Asian markets were sharply lower across the board overnight with morning trade talk rhetoric coming from the leader. Across the pond, European markets are currently modestly higher across the board. US Futures that were pointing to losses most of the night are now pointing to a slightly bullish open but with the so many companies reporting earnings anything is possible. Although it’s nice to see a little bullishness this morning, I would not rule out the possibility of testing the overnight futures low sometime during the day as high volatility continues to challenge traders.
With the mid-term polls opening up tomorrow it is also possible that after the morning rush the price action could easily stall as we wait for election results. The market is very sensitive to any trade negotiation news, and we should expect significant price swings on good or bad news reports. I would not rule out another market pullback to test the October lows and high volatility to continue for the next couple of weeks. However, Santa is coming to town, and the recent pullback could open the door to nice rally later this month and into December. Be patient, stay focused and protect your capital until you have an edge.
Trade Wisely,
Doug

Understanding Candlesticks
Q-Why don’t Candlestick signals work every time?
A-Reversal patterns are more clues of what could come, rather than what is.
Q-What is follow through?
A-Follow through is when price action moves higher than the clue candle.
Q-What is positive trading?
A-Positive trading is when price action works within the clue candle range
Candlesticks within a tight chart pattern are building a candle in a longer time frame

SPY • Mid-Term Elections
Mid-Term elections will likely cause chop and confusion until they are over. There are plenty of great looking charts but I suspect they all will come with a chop and a bit more volatility then some swing traders would like. The SPY has rallied the last few days back to the 200-SMA, and like most of the time the 200-SMA is a big bridge to cross, and with the elections, the price may just camp out until the market feels it knows how the election will turn out. I will be managing the positions I am in, may buy or sell a couple, but will keep some cash ready to spend on the sidelines.

Bull May Challenge Upper T-Bands Game Changer - Are you ready
Bull May Challenge Upper T-Bands
It looks as if the bulls may challenge the upper T-Bands, success and a close above the T-Bands will create a good chart pattern that the Bulls can work with next week. We will likely close our VXX put today for a nice profit going into the weekend. Around $34.25 the VXX could start to bounce, keep in mind the VXX chart is still a bullish cart pattern.
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.

Bulls Leaping Higher
Bulls Leaping Higher
Apple disappointed investors, but news that the US and China are talking positively about inking a trade deal has the Bulls leaping higher for today’s open. As AAPL slides about south 5%, the US futures are indicated to open nearly 300 points higher. Traders still holding short positions at the open will feel the pain of a short squeeze this morning.
At the open today, the Dow will have recovered about 1400 points in just four days. Heading into the weekend and with the mid-term elections just around the corner be careful not chase. Although a trade deal between the US and China could be a game changer for the market by the end of the year, it does not rule out the possibility of profit taking by the end of the day. With about 1500 companies reporting next week and a lot of technical chart damage repair volatility is likely to remain very high so plan your risk into the weekend carefully.
On the Calendar
We get a little break on the Friday Earnings Calendar with just over 100 companies reporting today. Next week more than 1500 companies are expected to report. Notables for today: AAPL, ABBV, AIV, AMH, ANET, APPN, ATHN, AXL, BABA, BLDR, BPL, BRKR, CBOE, CBS, CC, CCJ, CERS, CHEF, CNK, CORT, CRC, CRUS, CVX, DEI, DOC, DUK, EAF, ED, EEP, ENB, EOG, ES, EXEL, EXTR, FLR, FTNT, GPRO, HR, HRC, HST, IMGN, IPHI, ITT, KHC, LADR, LHO, LNC, LYV, MDRX, MELI, MET, MSGN, MSI, MTZ, NFG, NPTN, NWL, OEC, OLED, PBA, PBYI, PE, PEB, PK, PODD, RLGY, RP, SBUX, SEDG, SEP, SHAK, SHLX, SKT, SM, SRCL, SRG, STAG, STX, SYMC, TDC, TDOC, TDS, TEX, TNDM, TRMB, TRTN, TSRO, UNIT, VG, VIAV, VICI, VST, WIFI, WLTW, WPC, WTW, WU, X, XOM
Action Plan
With the news that the US and China are getting closer to inking a trade, the market is leaping higher this morning. That news came at the perfect time as AAPL disappointed investors and is indicated more than 5% lower at the open. Asian and European markets were decidedly bullish overnight and the Dow Futures currently suggesting a gap up nearly 300 points.
A trade deal with China could be a bullish game changer for the end of this year. There is certainly a lot of technical damage in the charts to recover from, but it is possible a true V-bottom pattern could occur. Remember we still have the mid-term elections next week and volatility is likely to remain very high with about 1500 companies scheduled to report earnings next week. The Dow will have recovered about 1400 points in 4 days at the open, don’t be surprised if we see some profit taking ahead of the weekend.
Trade Wisely,
Doug

FEYE 2-Day Bullish Engulf
FEYE has printed a 2-day Bullish Engulf after a bullish pullback. Mid August FEYE started its turn from bearish to bullish, and the current Bullish Engulf on the 2-day chart or gap on the daily chart is the clue I need to add FEYE to our watchlist. Also take a look at the weekly chart, if that doesn’t excite you. I don’t know what will. Current trade: FEYE bullish above $19.05 Stop below $18.20 targets $21.00 $23.60.

SPY • Price In The Band
The recent price action of the last few days was a clue that the buyers are starting to circle, yesterday’s gap held fairly well into the closed above our lower T-Line Band. The futures are pointing a little higher this morning. In a perfect world, I would like to see the SPY closed up above our upper T-line Band Which is about $275 .70, of course by then we’re going to need a little profit taking and that could set us up for our low high/higher low and higher high chart pattern. Once above upper T-Line Band, the $280.00 price target is possible.
Bottom line is if the bulls can keep this up we could soon see the T-Line Bands turn positive, if not a test of the recent low.
