Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

MCEP/Long (Energy Sector )  SX90/XLE led the way yesterday both with a hammer on January 14 and the follow-through has led them above the T-Line ready to cross the 20-period moving average.  MCEP formed a bullish piercing candle on December 17 followed by consolidation and a bullish scoop pattern.  Gapping yesterday and closing above both the T-Line and the 20-period moving average leads me to believe the next short-term swing target could be around $7.40 which is a 30% trade and another 30% on bullish follow-through to the 50- period moving average.

Possible stop plan idea:   Below $29.50

SPY:  Yesterday’s close at $202.05 put us back in the symmetrical wedge that we had drawn a week and a half ago.  Any trading within that wedge is simply Continue Reading

Possible entry plan idea:  Positive trading over $2.73
Possible stop plan idea:   Below $2.49

Good Morning, 

SPY:  Friday’s bullish piercing candle, two cents from a Bullish Engulf and what appears to be no bad news over the long weekend Continue Reading
