SPY: “Think Relief Rally,” that’s what we called for yesterday, and the SPY started the process by closing up .81%. We expect more follow-through today and even a possibility of testing the T-Line™, or even better, closing over the T-Line™.
Yesterday I noticed many on our watch-list were showing signs of bullishness and closing in the green, and one of our members’ trade ideas yesterday, CHUY, closed up 5.5%, and another of our members’ trade ideas from last month, SIEN, closed higher for a total of 63.58%.
I still believe this is only a relief rally until the proper bottom and reversal pattern have been created.

M/ (Department store) (M) Macy’s Has formed a double bottom, Bullish Engulf closing over the T-Line then follow-through. A near bullish kicker yesterday closed Macy’s up 8.16%. I believe we can all make some money on this trade by proper management.

SPY: Think Relief Rally. Yesterday we saw the SPY find a low $189.82 and lift about 1.11% creating a hammer just slightly above the 50% fib line. The market is very oversold, and it may be time we use our relief rally game plan. In fact, all the trade ideas today will be longs, but remember we are in our relief rally game plan.
Relief rally points of interest are $194.10, $197.40, and $198.80 and would put you back to the 50% retracement of the recent bear run.

SPY: Friday was more proof that the sellers are controlling this market. The SPY was down 1.10% for the day and 5.86% for the week. Last week, price cut through our 23.6% retracement, and as it stands now, the 38.2 fib retracement is in jeopardy. I still believe the $188 area on the SPY is what this recent bearish move is looking for. With this in mind and the current trend confirming short positions, inverse ETF’s are still the moneymakers. We will also be able to find profits in long charts with specific setups and trade very short-term.

SPY: We made it to another profit-taking Friday, China’s back to trading, employment numbers are today and the SPY is down 4.75% this week, short trades and inverse ETF’s rocked. We even made some money on long trades!
The SPY continues to show weakness cutting through the $195 area like it wasn’t even there. I still believe the $192 – $188 area may be tested with a likely relief rally beforehand. The overall market has undergone tremendous technical damage, and for the indices to see new all-time highs, the indices will need to build quality reversal chart patterns. Continue to make a plan for each trade and trade that plan! Your first technical analysis of a chart is usually the correct one.

Hit&Run Candlestick members learn to manage their charts, and by managing their charts profits are more profitable. With our Starbucks (SBUX) short, we’re enjoying a great cup of coffee. (SKX) Sketchers USA is trying to draw an “h” pattern which equals short profits. SKX was yesterdays featured trade idea. (F) Ford Is another one we spoke of in early December that would likely be a short winner.
I hear from hundreds of people and how they’re looking for long setups with the market becoming a bit oversold. Please be careful and let the chart guide your way. We have seen time and time again that buying off the bottom or trying to pick the bottoms is not the answer.
SPY: Yesterday I wrote that China has created pressure on the market causing the buyers to be concerned and the sellers to take advantage, and that continues to hold true today. The morning futures are once again under pressure, and today we should see the $195 area tagged on the SPY that I have spoken of several times the

SKX/Short (Footwear and Accessories) On all charts, SKX is tripping over its shoelaces. The three-day chart caught my eye with a very clear bearish “h” pattern in the process and about a 25% profit target — my kind of trade.

SBUX Short has been a profitable trade with still more profits to come. Yesterday in the trading room, Smith & Wesson (SWHC) was a big winner!, SkyWest Inc. (SKYW) has had a first-class ticket for the H&R Members that took advantage of the short flight. Avid Technology (AVID) paid off well yesterday with a gap, and as we always say in the trading room, “gaps are gifts.” To the short side, several members are happy with Hawaiian Holdings (HA) and Fossil Ink (FOSL).

SBUX Short has been a profitable trade with still more profits to come. Yesterday in the trading room several traders went long on Smith & Wesson (SWHC), Avid Technology (AVID) and SunEdison (SUNE).

SPY: Yesterday, the first day of trading for the new year was not very encouraging if you focus on the market and you are bullish. The bearish gap yesterday dropped the SPY right back to its lower downtrending trend line. However, the Bulls came back and printed a book-perfect hammer by the end of the day. Unfortunately, the hammer and the lower trend line might be good for a relief rally but not much more than that unless the Bulls truly take control. While the market is controlled by the bears and many charts as well, there are plenty of long charts to be traded. With proper management, “plan for your trade, and, of course, trade your plan.” We can all make money with long and short trades.

SPY: The daily weekly and monthly charts are all presenting a bearish attitude. From the November high, the SPY has continued to post lower highs and lower closes, all signs that the sellers are in control. The weekly 23.6 Fibonacci projection puts price at the $198 area with a $195 gap fill target if the buyers can’t put together a complete reversal rally. We held our TZA long and our SBUX short over from last week, a great start to the 2016 year.

SPY: Although the SPY closed over the T-Line yesterday, price definitely struggled to break out over the bearish downtrend line. As we started 2015 almost one year ago, I’m sure every trader was thinking how price was going to leave 2015, 2015 would give us new highs and the Bulls would control the market. Well, here we are the end of the year, and the Bulls are trying desperately just to close over the 2014 close. What does this tell us? Well, since we are swing traders and trade from overnight to maybe 15 days, it really shouldn’t tell us a whole lot because here at Hit-And-Run Candlesticks, we follow the charts and we don’t predict. We use candlesticks and trend lines, chart patterns and price action. This is why we are so successful. We don’t try to predict what 2016 is going to be; we simply trade the chart. Our job is not to pick the bottom or pick the top; our job is to pull the sweet money out of the middle.
For everyone that traded with us this year, thank you. If you have a friend and would like to give them a gift, reach out and tell them about us.

SPY: After a slight pullback, the T-Line™ and a hammer triggered a gap closing above the big three, the 200 SMA and, more importantly, the lower high downtrend line of $205.75, which is the 50% line between the high and the low of the bearish “M” pattern. Over $205.75, we consider bullish.
