Is UAA turning Back Up?

Is UAA turning Back Up?

UAA has turned back up from a fourteen bar rest on the daily chart. Over $23.75 I will be looking at a 20 – 30% swing trade. Take a look at the longer time frames, 2-day, 3-day and 5-day charts. The 5-day chart is set up in the (RBB) zone. Price has rested from the Dotted Duece with buyers working with the T-Line for the next leg. With a 20-30% swing trade, UAA will be hot on our trade possibility list. Please, note the market has not changed much from yesterday and is still very unpredictable right now.

SPY Bull or Bear Friends

Yesterday the SPY had more bearish friends than it had bullish friends, and they wanted to close below the 50-SMA. Price action did try to climb higher, but a bear was hiding behind price resistance, the 34-EMA and the T-Line and spooked price. Take a look at the 4-Hour chart, Mondays low and Wednesday low both tested the Dueces and with the morning futures up we could see a little relief bounce. Above $273.75 and $274.70 would draw in more buyers. Below $269.30 would attract the $266.00 flies.

VXX – Yesterdays close the VXX chart was in a bullish to buy set up, a positive market would negate that action.

The Market IS Too Unpredictable

The Market IS Too Unpredictable

The market is too unpredictable right now to be posting trade ideas. There are two main goals for a stock trader, one is to earn money and the second is to keep the money you earned. This is the kind of market that will take the money you earned from you and laugh. If you feel like you must be fed a trade every day we are not the people for you, and I doubt your trading career will last long. If you are a stock trader that wants to work smart and not hard if you are focused on the lifestyle of a successful trader your in the right place.

SPY Test The 50-SMA?

The price action and candlestick yesterday (Doji) still has the blood of a Bear in it. Price action is still trending below the T-Line which suggest the buyers are not ready to make a run. The 4-Hour chart is sitting on the Dueces but forming a Bearish “h” pattern. Below $270.00 look for the $265.00 area. Above $273.65.00 price would be back above the T-Line and the bulls would outnumber the bears.

VXX – VXX is set up in a bullish pattern. Compared to last week the fear in the market has grown.

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

Pressure to Trade.

Pressure to Trade.

pressureSitting in front of your computer running scans and flipping through charts it’s easy to feel under pressure to trade.  As we sift through charts in a mad dash to find a trade we often fail to remember the condition of the overall market.  Currently, the market is under pressure and is in a short-term downtrend.  None of the major indexes produce a buy signal yesterday, and in fact, they all remained within their downtrends, and nothing changed the cloud of uncertainty that’s weighing on the market.

Patience and discipline are key qualities that all traders must possess.  As your looking for trade-able charts, make sure you are assessing the overall market condition.  Do you have an edge or are you a giving up your edge by forcing trades when the market is not favorable for your positions?  Remember trading is a marathon, not a sprint.

On the Calendar

The Wednesday Economic Calendar gets going with market-moving reports at 8:30 AM Eastern with Durable Goods Orders.  Consensus expects growth in with core capital goods orders increasing a modest 0.2 percent gain with ex-transportation numbers coming in up 0.5% in May.  Also at 8:30 AM is International Trade in Goods where forecasters expect the deficit to widen to 68. Billion in May vs. the 67.3 billion reading in March.  Pending Home Sales at 10:00 AM expect an increase of 0.6 percent in May but remaining overall flat for the year.  Then at 10:30 AM the last market-morning report of the day comes from the un-forecast EIA Petroleum Status Index.  Other than that we have Retail inventories & Wholesale Inventories @ 8:30 AM, two Fed Speakers at 11:00 AM & 12:15 PM and two Bond Auctions.

We have 20 companies on the Earnings Calendar today expected to report results.  Among those reporting PAYX, MON, GIS report before the bell while RAD, PIR, and BBBY report after the close.

Action Plan

With the modest bounce in the indexes, it was tempting to forget about trade war tensions and want to buy into the dip.  I continued to repeat the need for caution and as for myself added no new positions.  Sadly that appears to have been the right decision with the Dow Futures pointing to another gap down of more than 100 points at the open.  With a busy Economic Calendar and a few Earnings reports before the bell that could certainly improve or get worse before the open.

I will need to see more conviction from the Bulls to enter new long trades, and I will matain stick to my rules and resist chasing into short trades that have already made significant moves lower.  Trading is a marathon, not a sprint and you don’t have to trade every day to be successful as a trader.  Avoid anticipating or predicting bottoms and wait until price action confirms good entries.  Remember cash is a position and in times of market uncertainty, it may be the best position especially if you’re an inexperienced trader.

Trade Wisely,

Doug

DO (Short) Setup & Trade Plan

Today’s Featured Trade Idea is DO.

You can read more about this trade in Rick’s blog post here.  Members can also see his detailed review in the trading room at 9:10am Eastern.  For now, here is my analysis and a potential trade plan made using our Trader Vision 20/20 software.

DO printed a large Bearish Engulfing signal to enter a Blue Ice Failure pattern on Monday.  With overall markets also Bearish, I will look for a retest of the 50sma to get a better entry and use the failure at that level to protect my Stop above the 50sma.  While the pattern target is usually the 200sma, I will use a potential Support level between the two as Target #1.  Target #2 is also a potential Support area near the 200sma.  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.

Note how Trader Vision 20/20 does so much of the work for you.  The anticipated second Target price would generate a 7.67% gain and the second target an overall gain of 9.52%.  We also see that the Risk is low and the potential Reward good.  Knowing the Risk, Reward and how far a stock must move to reach our goal…before a trade…really takes the pressure off.  No guesswork.  No surprises.  No emotional roller coaster.

A Bearish Engulf At Resistance

A Bearish Engulf At Resistance

It’s never good when you get a Bearish Engulf at resistance. Yesterday’s price action in DO was controlled by the sellers when they realized the buyers didn’t have the chops to step out into the battlefield. So the sellers took control and closed price below the 50-SMA. Weakness below $18.95 may need to test the $17.40 – $16.70 areas. Be very cautious the next few days as the buyers and sellers battle for the blue ribbon, don’t be a casualty.

SPY Is Unhappy

Looking at my Red White and Blue chart the SPY has turned bearish in the hourly, 2-hour and 4-hour charts. The daily is very close, whether or not you like the tariff battle going on it is causing the market to be unhappy. An unhappy market leads to chop and the sellers taking the lead. The 200-SMA area may offer support and a relief rally for the bulls, but we must see the right conditions before that can happen.

VXX – VXX got pretty darn hot yesterday! The VXX chart is suggesting they buyers are not happy when buyers are not happy the sellers like to party.

An Ugly Day

An Ugly Day

UglyYesterday was clearly an ugly day for the market with many stocks suffering there biggest selloff this year.  At the end of the day, even the strongest of the indexes suffered technical damage that will likely take weeks if not months to repair.  With trade tensions still growing we can’t rule out additional shock waves occurring so trade with caution and discipline.

Although an ugly day there was a silver lining in a few sectors as traders rotate toward safety.  Consumer defensive, consumer staples, utilities and high dividend paying stocks are showing some positive signs, but you will have to choose carefully.  Domestic companies with less exposure to tariffs vs. international companies that could experience more shock waves as trade tensions continue to grow.

On the Calendar

There are two potential market-moving reports on Tuesday’s Economic Calendar.  The first is the Case-Shiller at 9:00 AM Eastern which consensus expects a gain of 0.5 percent with the year-on-year number holding 6.8 percent.  Secondly, the 10:00 AM Consumer Confidence expects a steady strength of 128.1 in May according to consensus.  Events not expected to move the market included Redbook @ 8:55 AM, Richmond Fed Mfg. Index & State Street Investor Confidence @ 10:00 AM, two Bond Auctions & two Fed Speakers.

The Earnings Calendar shows 13 companies reporting results today with FDS and LEN before the bell.  After the bell, we will hear from JMBA and SONC.

Action Plan

After a rough day selling with all four major indexes suffering technical damage, caution an restraint should be considered.  You might be thinking now is the time to jump in and pick up some deals and you might be right.  However, don’t anticipate a wait for good signals of buyers stepping in before rushing into trades.  Yesterday could have been an overreaction by the market, but keep in mind the uncertainty surrounding trade is far from over and the next shock wave may only be a news report away.  Having broken uptrends any rally back up should be watched closely for the possibility of failure at or near price resistance levels.

There seems to be a rotation to the defensive sector, consumer staples sector, and high dividend paying stocks such as utilities as investors look for a little safety.  Also, keep an eye on domestic companies as they may be less impacted by tariffs.  Currently, the Dow futures are pointing to a flat to slightly bearish open.  A resting day with choppy price action would not be out of the question.  Better days will eventually return, but there could be a lot of very challenging days yet to come.  Third quarter earnings are just 2 or 3 weeks away, but until then its likely trade war jitters will continue to be the driving force of the market.

Trade Wisely,

Doug
