SPY: If the spy went looking for the August 2015 low yesterday, it found it.  And then proceeded to put together an impressive bounce closing at 185.65.  Price and this recent trend is still controlled by the sellers, evidence of this is the inability to breakout over the T-Line™ or breakout over any one of its recent highs.

HA/ short (Hawaiian Holdings ) HA  is still showing signs of bearishness with a bear flag and a dark cloud cover failing the T-Line™.  Kudos to those still in the HA short, and it still looks as if we have 8 to 10% to go.

In last night’s member e-learning, we talked about intraday charts and how you might use the 60-minute chart to help decide whether the daily chart was ready to be bought long.  I pointed out that the 60-min chart was not set up properly, and the SPY was not ready to reverse bullishly.

SPY:  Listen to and watch the charts for clues, and be careful not to jump in the water without testing for alligators.  According to the morning futures, the SPY will be opening up sharper.  Because we don’t think picking bottoms or catching falling knives is a good trading idea, we will allow a bottom to form before we become 100% bullish.  Going into today, over $192.85 would show signs that the Bulls are

It’s Friday – No trade ideas today

SPY:  The Bulls managed to put together a bullish harami by the close of yesterday, still closing below the T-Line™ and allowing the sellers to stay in control.  The bullish Harami may be a sign that the Bulls are creating a little bottom for a relief rally, but I believe that when I see it!  When I see the Bulls close price over $194.50, I will take their attempt at a relief rally a bit more seriously.

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
