SPXU – Doji Continuation Pattern

SPXU – Doji Continuation Pattern

SPXU – Doji Continuation PatternSPXU – Closed Friday with a Doji Continuation Pattern, we have found this pattern to be very successful when you add other conditions with it. Such as a breakout of the downtrend line, bottoming patterns like a double bottom or a higher low. 2 or 3-day charts with a Bullish Engulfs. And SPXU is now one of our Rounded Bottom Breakout patterns/strategies. Keep in mind most charts don’t work right away unless you only want 1,2,3% gains and I have never met anyone who makes a living on 1,2,3%  We want to profit more…don’t you?

Eyes On The Market (SPY) Warning

The SPY has broken below the support line holding the lows together and has formed a Bearish “h” pattern. With Fridays close, we have a lower high and a lower low and a Bearish Doji Continuation pattern setup. When you add the short-term oversold, we could see a relief bounce. We see both long and short trade with a ton of chop, keep your fingers away from the blade.

The Bears create technical damage.

The Bears create technical damage.

Sadtechnical damagely the price action concerns that I mentioned yesterday came to fruition as the Bears won the battle at resistance.  This time there was significant technical damage was created the in the index charts.  It may turn out to be nothing more than another round of market jitters but to ignore it is unwise.  The mantra for the last few years has been “Buy the Dip.”  However technical damage such as this normally takes at least several weeks to resolve.  We can now expect more volatility and challenging price action going forward.  Plan accordingly.

On the Calendar

We have a very light Economic Calendar this Friday.  At 10:00 AM Eastern we get the latest reading on Consumer Sentiment.  Although Consumer Confidence has been running near 20-year highs, Consumer Sentiment has been drifting lower.  The consensus is expecting a slight rebound to 94.0 vs. the last reading at 93.4.  Shortly after at 10:15 AM we have a Fed Speaker to round out the week.

On the Earnings Calendar we just over ten companies reporting today.  One of the biggest today will come from DE that reports before the bell.  Retailers EL and FL are also slated to report before the open today.  Although earnings season is winding down, it’s very important to make checking earnings report dates on the companies you hold and are thinking of buying.  Failing to do so can quickly damage an account.

Action Plan

Raising my caution level based on the price action served me well yesterday as the Bears won the first battle at resistance.  Yesterday the DIA broke and closed below the strong uptrend that it has enjoyed for several months.  Tremendous technical damage in the SPY was created yesterday breaking down below the prior low and closing well below the 50-day average.  The QQQ’s also suffered damage but managed to hold above the last low and the overall up trend closing at the 50-day average.  The poor IWM not only made a new low in its current downtrend but also sliced right through the 200-day average as if it was not even there.

With so much technical damage ahead of the weekend I will most likely stand aside today.  As you know, I always try to trade with the overall trend.  There are now sufficient clues that the up trend may falter, so I will begin putting together a watch-list of down trending stocks.  If you happen to be a long only trader, it is now time to curtail your trading activity.  Repairing technical damage will normally require several weeks of trading during which time volatility will likely be elevated making it very challenging even for the most experienced traders.  Please protect your accounts and realize you don’t have to trade every day to be a profitable trader.

(It’s Friday) A personal trade plan is essential to trading wealth and Fridays are a good day to evaluate your trade plan. Do you have a 12-month goal? Do you know how much per trade, per week so you need to meet the 12-month goal? Do you know what trade set ups are best for you? We have found from our coaching that those that live by a trade plan profit more money and have a much higher success rate of increasing their wealth.

Friday is the day we count our money and reflect on our weeks trading. How did we do? How can we improve? Take time today to pause on trading and consider education. Reevaluate your trading goals, are your goals on track?

Eyes on The Market

In Thursdays pre-market blog we warned everyone and WOW! The Bear really woke up. Yesterday we closed below the 50-SMA in a big way, so I suspect we see some kind of relief rally. I do believe this is going to hurt and there will be more downside and of course there will be minor rallies. There is no shame in sitting on your hands until this market cools down. And cash is a position

ZOES – Pop Out OF The Box (RBB) PatternZOES – The Pop Out of The Box (RBB) pattern alone with the Bullish constructed bottom and the Bullish candle yesterday suggest the Bulls are willing to push this stock higher. I have 2 profit zones on the trade plan, but I do think the Dotted Deuce could be reached. A pullback into the Buy Box and above $11.85 is what we are looking for. Don’t force trades and don’t be in a hurry.

Eyes On The Market (SPY) Warning

The SPY has 4 very critical numbers that we will be watching –  Above $247.57 would indicate Bullishness and below $247.16 would indicate Bearishness. Then the Bulls would have to attack $248.92, and the Bears would go after $247.16. The last thing in the world the Bull wants is for the price to flirt with the $247.75 low as this would be flirting with a Bearish Blue Ice Failure.

The Bull/Bear battleground

The Bull/Bear battleground.

The Bull-Bear battlegroundThe Bulls have been impressive rallying back up to test market highs however they seemed to lose considerable energy near the close.  With the futures looking lower this morning the Bears are showing their teeth and willingness to fight.  With definitive support and resistance levels on the DIA, SPY, and QQQ’s the Bull/Bear battleground as been established.  I suggest staying very focused on price action.  Trend and momentum currently favor the Bulls, but last week we saw how quickly that edge could fade away.  I am raising my caution levels and will restrict my market activity.  No matter which team wins this battle I will be ready to ride their coat tails when price action clues of the winner begin to emerge.

On the Calendar

The Economic Calendar for Thursday begins with the weekly Jobless Claims at 8:30 AM Eastern.  Labor continues to hold very strong this year, and forecasters see that continuing with a 240K print today.  Also at 8:30 AM is the Philly Fed Business Survey.  The July report only showed marginal strength at 19.5 vs. the 17.0 consensus for today.  At 9:30 AM we get a reading on Industrial Production which is expected to rise 0.3% with capacity utilization edging up to 76.7%.  Other than that we have Fed speakers at 1:00 and 1:45 PM and few non-market-moving reports mixed in for good measure.

There are just over 50 companies reporting earning today, so please stay on your toes checking your holding and those you are considering for new trades.  A couple to make a note of are the reports from BABA and WMT which both happen before the bell today.

Action Plan

Before the FOMC Minutes, the market was finally seeing some follow-through buying after the morning futures pump.  However, after the report, weakness showed up in the indexes selling off to near the opening prints.   The DIA, SPY, and QQQ’s all remained under resistance leaving behind indecisive candle patterns once again opening the door for reversal.  Currently, futures are pointing to a slightly lower open that require our attention.  If it turns out to only be a rest near the highs, perfect, but if the Bears go to work here then trouble could be just around the corner.

Over all the trend continues to be up but I think it’s wise to raise your caution level as we dance around the market highs.  Reversals can happen very quickly near market highs, and although 3 of 4 major indexes are holding up well, IWM is down-trending raising some questions.  As a result, I will likely curtail my trading activity slightly and will be prepared to take profits ahead of the weekend.
