SPY: Can the Bulls keep their pre-market move going?
7:00 am: Morning futures taking on the upper trend line.
The SPY traded in such a tight trading range yesterday that one has to ask, “Is everybody on vacation?” No, everyone’s not on vacation. The market has just not made its mind up whether the Bulls or the Bears are going to take charge and lead. Most chart technicians can make a Bullish or a Bearish argument on the SPY chart, such as most technicians can see the bearish head and shoulders formation, but there is yet to be a breakdown below the neck line. Most bullish technicians know this recent pullback has found support near the 23.6 Fibonacci retracement line and that the Bulls are simply building an army. What all chart technicians agree upon is that price needs to break above the upper downtrend line and clear the $207.00 area that Hit and Run Candlesticks has been talking about for about the past two weeks.

SPY: T-Line ™ chart suggest the sellers are in control.
7:00 am: Price is still in the sellers’ channel
just as we expected and just as we posted right here on Friday morning before the market opened. “Bounce and relief rally likely,” and the SPY closed up on Friday .63% at $205.49, still closing below the 50-day simple moving average and still in the sellers’ channel.
The sellers remain in control and will remain in control unless the buyers can control the $207 area, which would put them above the downward channel. From a bullish angle, price has found support above the 23.6 fib line, and if you go back to April 1, the buyers have refused to give that line up. This is the main reason I have been watching and creating a watch list for long trades. Typically speaking, if a pullback can hold above the 23.6 retracement line, that pull back is minor and not chart destructive. On the other hand, if the sellers take control of the 23.6, this will put the 38.2 under scrutiny and that may be playing too close to the edge.
We highly recommend caution and to even consider that cash is a position. Most of all, we believe having a plan is the key to success. Taking the one or two minutes to create a trading plan is worth every penny.

Known in Japanese as iki chigai sen, which means “lines that move in opposite directions,” the Bearish Separating Lines pattern is a tale of two candlesticks. Although they share the same starting point, they veer off in opposing directions. The first, which is white or green, soars upward from the starting point. The second, which is black or red, plummets. To learn more about this simple but scarce continuation pattern, review the information and advice we’ve compiled below.

SPY: T-Line ™ chart suggest the sellers are in control.
7:00 am: Bounce | Relief rally likely today
The SPY has been trending down since the Bearish Evening Star April 20. With a series of lower lows and lower highs, yesterday’s trading closed down .35% and closed with a lower low Doji. As I mentioned yesterday in the trading room and at last night’s webinar a bounce/relief rally is very likely today. The $207 level is still very important for the Bulls to gain back and important for the bears to defend. Because of the recent lower lows there is another strategic level that the Bulls need to take back ($207.75) Which would also challenge the upper trend-line if the attack was within the next few trading days.
As of the close yesterday the only S&P spider select ETF over the T-Line™ was energy ETF (XLE) and it was not overly impressive.
