The SPY found support
and worked itself back up above the T-Line Bands but still controlled by the
bears. Price remains below the 200-SMA, and the 50-SMA is kissing the 200-SMA.
I have found when the market is in rough waters, and the sellers are the captain
of the boat. Longs are only good for very short term relief rallies. The short
trades seem to be better, but they are a bit shaky at the moment. The good news
it’s Friday, and we get to count our money! Remember cash is a position.

Tuesday we saw the SPY sell off confirming the Hanging Man Candle and another failed attempt for the bulls to control price action above both the 50 and 200-SMA’s. The futures this morning will be punishing most long positions held. Taking a look at the weekly SPY chart, I can see a tight nasty Blue Ice Failure set up, (keep in mind follow-through is required). 2016 was the last time price action of the SPY was near the 200-SMA on the weekly chart, and it’s starting to look like a future test is in the game.
(BAC) Weekly Blue Ice Bearish Engulf
The weekly chart is showing a Bearish Engulf and a Blue Ice short set up which could be pointing price to the 200-SMA or about $21.70. We are adding BAC to the LTA-Live Trading Alerts Real Time Market Scanner watchlist for management and buying alert. I will consider BAC Jan 18, 2019, $28.00 PUT.

Yesterday the SPY added to it’s run by gapping over the 50-SA and challenging the top of the “W” pattern. By the time price got to the top it was pretty well run out. Bullish consolidation from yesterdays high to the 200-SMA would be a bullish pullback. Below the 200-SMA would suggest the sellers are outsmarting the buyers. Yesterday was a big day for our members, gapes are gifts, and a lot of gifts were had yesterday. This market continues to face a huge headwind, trade with your eyes open to spot the clues.

We are adding CY to the LTA-Live Trading Alerts Real Time Market Scanner watchlist for management and buying alert. CY bullish above $14.00, stop below $13.65. CY has been forming a Pop Out of The Box Pattern for a few days now. The POOTB also comes after bottoming price action with higher lows and highs and a bullish trend line. Last Wednesday CY closed with an RBB pattern as well.
Market Higher on Positive G20
The Market will open higher today on the 90 days cease-fire and willingness of the US and China working together on a tariff solution. Last weeks run in the SPY showed promise going into the G20 meetings. And what do you know, price action is gaping up this morning well over the 50-SMA attempting to challenge the November high. No doubt we should see a little profit taking but a close over the 50-SMA or even $270.00 would a huge success. Trading hint: Gaps are gifts.

Crumbs from relief rallies are when the trend is down, and traders take advantage of short-term rallies into resistance or the bearish downtrend line. The SPY ended yesterday with a Doji, and when you place it next to the previous day, you have a Doji Continuation patt5ern. Of course for the pattern to work, we must have followed through. Price action above $274.60 would be a step in the right direction, ultimately price action over $280.60 would set the SPY up for a challenge of the October highs. Price action failing the $274.60 area could lead to a retest of about $268.45 or even lower. Please note the trend is still the seller’s friend and buyers are picking up crumbs from the relief rallies.

G20 Trump and China up next, if they can ease the tension like Powell did yesterday Santa could be back in town. Of course, it may be coal for us if the kids don’t play nice. Yesterday we saw a huge move in the market, DJ-30 up over 600 points! The SPY has seen nothing but three days of bullishness with yesterday being the big winner. Price has nearly come back to challenge the 200- and 50-SMA’s and the close yesterday was above the 50% line from the recent high to the recent low. We should expect a little rest and inside action today and possibly a challenge of the 200-SMA before the weekend. Looking forward to pulling a few profits off the next two days.

The Powell, Trump, China wall of worry are a few of the troubles the market is dealing with. Powell to speak today and the upcoming Fed meeting Dec. 19 may shed positive light or lay a dark cloud over the market. The G20, Trump and China meeting might remove some of the walls of worry or add more. The technical fracture the market is also a problem and will take time to resolve.
Another positive day yesterday for the SPY, about $273.25 remains the number the bulls need to beat before they can advance. Above $265.45 keeps the bull from drowning but struggling.
BABA RBB Setup
We are already long BABA
BABA has been flirting the RBB set up with price closing over the 50-SMA the past 2-days. The bottom construction looks solid with an Inverted Head and Shoulder formation. The weekly chart found support on the Dotted Duece and has now closed back above the weekly T-Line. The typical RBB trade target direction is the 200-SMA. BABA has been added as a trade candidate to add to our LTA-Live Trading Alerts Real Time Market Scanner watchlist for a buying alert. BABA bullish above $156.502, stop below $147.65

The good news: The SPY 2-day chart has printed a double bottom Bullish Engulf all on the 200-SMA. So is this the start of a bullish turnaround? The answer is in whether or not we have bullish follow through over the first hurdle $273.25. The bad news is the SPY like the other indices are in a painful downtrend with a ton of resistance above. Trade considerations and rate hikes continue to add bearish weight to this market. Smaller and fewer positions and quicker profits seem to be the key in this market.
TAL RBB Setup
TAL is an (RBB) Rounded Bottom Breakout Setup and finding support on one of our lower band lines. In the last few weeks price has rallied up and rested with a Flag formation. The rule of thumb is that on a breakout price should move to the next resistance level. The typical RBB trade target direction is the 200-SMA. Adding TAL as a trade candidate to add to our LTA-Live Trading Alerts Real Time Market Scanner watchlist for a buying alert. TAL bullish above $29.15, stop below $27.75
****VXX – Yesterday the VXX chart shows that a little fear was leaving the party. Be careful this party can start up again at any time.

The SP-500 is set to open higher this morning and the DJ-30 set with a triple-digit open, but the big question is this the start of a bullish turnaround? To be a bullish turnaround, we would need to see a bullish bottom constructed and price above $271.90 on the SPY. On the other hand, a good bullish bounce would make for a great relief rally. Last week was another hard week for stocks, and the negative candles on the indices proved it. FANG stock remains weak as can be seen on the FNGU chart, price below the T-Line and the T-Line below the 34-EMA.
BECN RBB Setup
BECN is an (RBB) Rounded Bottom Breakout Setup, not that price has closed above the 50-SMA, and there is at least 10% between the 50-SMA and 200-SMA. The Bullish Engulf a few days ago was a bottom test followed by bullish follow through. With a swing target near the $42.50 area, BECN is a trade candidate to add to our LTA-Live Trading Alerts Real Time Market Scanner watchlist for a buying alert. BECN bullish above $31.75, stop below $29.90
****VXX – At the close Friday the VXX chart was on the bullish side suggesting fear, below $36.00 would suggest fear is under control while over $36.00 would suggest fear is once again fueled.
