The Bulls showed strength defending the rally.
At the market, I was concerned that the Bears were taking over, but the Bulls showed strength, stepping up and defending the rally. The SPY and the QQQ’s displayed remarkable strength continuing to move up into the close. Currently, the bull run is getting a little over baked with eight days up, however, if earnings reports continue to provide the market confidence that can continue. If we stay objective setting aside personal biases and simply focus on price action, we can identify and follow the directional clues. Follow don’t predict!
On the Calendar
The hump day Economic Calendar begins with Housing Starts at 8:30 AM. Last week the housing starts and permits were noticeably weak last month coming in just over a 1 million annualized rate. Forecasters are expecting a big rebound this month bringing the annualized number up to a rate of 1.170. At 10:30 we have the EIA Petroleum Status Report that has become heavily watched by traders the last couple years. Inventories have been falling for several months now, and we need that to continue to stabilize oil pricing. If we happen to get an increase in supply, we can expect an overall negative reaction by the market.
On the Earnings Calendar, we have 81 companies reporting earnings today. There are few companies that report before the bell, but the biggest reports will be after the close today with the likes of AXP and QCOM. Stay on your toes as we ramp up and make sure you check when companies report or suffer the consequences.
Action Plan
After a quick morning plunge, the Bulls went back to work showing they want to defend support levels. The DIA has the most dramatic move of the day leaving behind a Hammer pattern above price support. Keep in mind a Hammer requires follow-through. The SPY managed to squeak out yet another record closing high on its end of day bullish push while IWM remained under price resistance. The continued strength in the QQQ’s was nice however the rally is nine days old, and a pullback or consolidation could begin at any time.
Futures are currently suggesting a slightly lower open, but there are still some big reports to come, so anything is possible. We have some fantastic gains in our RWO trades, so the first order of business will be to manage these positions. I will be looking for new positions today, but once again I will likely give the market 15 to 30 minutes focusing on the price action before making any decisions.

Slow yet constructive price action.
The market was a bit slow yesterday, but I saw as very constructive price action. While it’s true the indexes chopped in a rather small range yesterday, it seemed only to be resting after the rally. Perhaps both the Bulls and Bears are just pausing ahead of big earnings reports to give them some directional inspiration. Whatever the case may be, it is our job as traders, to maintain discipline. Avoid the emotional drama of the season. Focus on the price action react by following it rather than trying to predict it.
On the Calendar
Tuesdays Economic Calendar has three importing reports, but they are unlikely to move the market unless they come in with a big surprise. At 8:30 AM Eastern we have Import Export Prices. Follow by the Housing Market Index and Treasury International Capital at 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM respectively. Import Export number is expected to decline by 0.2% in largely on the back of low energy prices. The future housing sales expectations are expected to remain strong. Forecasters see it ticking higher this month from 67 to 68 on the Housing Market Index. The Treasury International Capital number tracks foreign demand for Long-Term Us securities. It normally fluctuates with the strength of the U.S Dollar.
On the Earnings Calendar, we have 45 companies reporting today. Noteworthy reports will form GS, BAC, JNJ, and PGR before the market opens. IBM which has been under a lot of selling pressure since Buffett lost confidence in the company reports after the bell today.
Action Plan
Although yesterday was a pretty slow day with the market taking a bit of rest, it was still very constructive day. Price action was somewhat choppy, but Bulls maintained their position of control. The QQQ’s is the only index showing stress leaving behind a Shooting Star Pattern right a price resistance. IWM once again threatened a breakout pushing hard against resistance, but once again it proved to be too strong preventing a breakout.
As I write this, futures are slightly higher, but the direction of the market will be directly impacted by big earnings reports this morning. The truth is anything is possible, so it’s important to remain flexible and set aside personal biases. Don’t predict just follow the price action as it presents itself. There are a lot of good charts showing bullish setups this morning. However, I want to avoid the drama of the open and will likely allow 15 to 30 minutes of price action to occur before making any new trade decisions today.

The Bulls chalk up two more record highs.
Last Friday a stampede of Bulls managed two more record highs to add their impressive collection of records this year. As great as that is, please keep in mind both the DIA and the SPY must still prove that the broken resistance will serve as support if tested. I suspect as 3rd quarter earnings ramp up there will more volatility in price action ahead, both bullish and bearish. With the VIX only pennies away from new record lows it would be wise to remember very fast price reversals are not out of the question. Every trade needs a plan that includes exit strategy before entering new positions.
On the Calendar
Other than some bond settlements. Announcements and auctions there is only one report of significance on the Economic Calendar today. The Empire State Mfg Survey comes out at 8:30 AM Eastern Time. Last month the number came in very strong with a reading of 19.8 indicating confidence in manufacturing growth for the next six months. Forecaster saw this was an anomaly and expect the number to come in around 15.0 for July, which is still very strong.
There are 24 companies reporting today with the biggest name being YHOO coming after the bell. With the recent weakness in the NASDAQ, I would expect the YHOO report heavily focused on by the market. It could be an interesting one to watch at the end of the day. Please make sure you are checking earnings report date on everything you own and everything you buy as part of your trade planning.
Action Plan
Friday was a very good day for the Bulls. Not only did they manage to push the DIA into new record high territory but managed to break resistance on the SPY setting yet another record. The IWM tested resistance but shrank away from it before the close, and the QQQ’s managed it’s 6th day up to challenge resistance levels.
Currently, futures are pointing to a higher to a slightly open this morning. It would be nice to see the market continue on the bull run but after such a strong day on Friday, a rest or slight pullback would not be out of the question as well. With that in mind, I will be looking for new long trades today. However, I will likely give the market about 30 minutes after the open before making any decisions. Of course, as always, the first order of business will be to manage current positions.
