Happy Valentines to all!

SPY Attitude:  (The trend is down) And the double bottom Doji is going to save the day (No), the morning futures are showing a little Bullish buzz, unless the Bulls can close the SPY over 188.00 this possible short-term relief rally is just a joke. Be suspicious of relief rallies in this market, relief rallies are signals to look for short setups. Remember cash is king and Monday is a Holiday.

GLUU/Long (Gaming and Multimedia)  GLUU has produced a bull kicker gap, closing up over the 50-SMA creating a rounded bottom breakout.  With a couple of bars of consolidation followed by solid bullishness yesterday and the beginning of a T-Line run™, GLUU has great profit potential for the swing trader.

SPY Attitude:  (Price will Attempt a Relief Rally) And it looks as if price will attempt a relief today, or, in another way to put it, price will try to sneak through a bearish feeding ground.  Everybody knows that the SPY is in a downtrend.  Where it gets fuzzy is how many ways can we paint an uptrend.  For each trader, the answer may be different.  For me, it’s simple; first, what is

SPY Attitude:  (The bear is in Charge! – Timing is everything.) 
The Bulls were able to defend $184.75 printing a dragonfly/hammer candle, and it is possible that this candle and the bull action yesterday could cause a very small relief rally, maybe to $189.05, but I doubt seriously the bear is ready to give in.  With nothing

SPY Attitude:  (The bear is running free)
$184.75 is a number the bulls need to defend and it looks like that area may be a battleground today.  Friday the sellers were able to wake the bear up with a negative close in the morning, and futures are suggesting the bear may be hungry for the $184.75 support area.  Taking price out of the picture all of our decision-making lines are in agreement with the bear.

SPY Attitude:  (Daily Bull & Bear Fight) (2-hr chart struggling)
$184.75 is a number the bulls need to defend  A success from the bears and a bear flag could potentially deliver more selling to the $175.50 area.
The linear regression (100 days) is down, and price hasn’t been able to get through the $195.50 resistance area. The jobs numbers may help or hurt.

SIEN/Long (Medical instruments)   SIEN has not been a stranger to either Hit-And-Run Candlesticks or Right Way Options members.  For many, this one stock has paid your subscription for the next several years.  Recently, the 100 SMA has proven to act as resistance. It’s ben price flagged for about a week then the Bulls pop price out on high-volume

SPY Attitude:  (Daily Bull & Bear Fight) (2-hr chart Bullish)
Market popped today on oil rally… USO to $10.65 if $9.90 can be beat. We took trades today in USO and ERX, good profits so far, up over 10%

SPY goes to $200 if $195.50 can support.
Oil is the key, it has been and it still is for now. It’s all about the Oil!

NFLX/Short (Pay TV)   For the past few weeks, we’ve seen a little consolidation.  The past four days and yesterday was a clear failure of the T-Line closing with a bearish engulf.  I would think shorting Netflix on a rally to the $97.00 or on weakness could prove profitable.

SPY Attitude:  Oil is once again down this morning putting pressure on the market. The SPY closed yesterday with price holding above the 50-SMA 60-min chart and with price above the T-Line™ daily chart. (Current short-term relief rally).  Pull backs are okay as long as the trend stays positive. Note the T-Line™ is still below the 34-EMA on the daily chart which tells us the bears still control this market. $195.15 (resistance) remains the number for the bulls to win right now.

SXC/Long (COAL)   SXC has put together a Candlestick rounded bottom and also has broken into a rounded bottom breakout strategy pattern.  With resistance around the $3.80 and support near the $3.00 area, I am wanting SXC to be on my buy candidate watch list, whether it’s today or a few days from now.

SPY Attitude:  Last week the 60-minute chart triggered bullish while the daily chart was still triggering bearish, and Friday was very powerful and now has a bullish attitude thanks to Japan.  Overall, the bears are still  in control of the trend from January 1 this year, while price nearly tagged the 50 percent retracement Friday.  I still see resistance at $195.15, while support has moved up now to 190.55.
