Buckle Up It’s Friday

The SPY closed with a Doji yesterday above the T-Line and the T-Line Bands in a bullish trend. Yesterday produced a pretty good battler between the buyers and sellers. The DIA’s made it down to the lower band support line and close up near the mid support band line. The VIX-X chart also played in yesterdays fun popping up to $13.29 before closing at $13.25. The VIX-X closed over the T-Bands with higher lows and a little bottom construction. I doubt the VIX-X is finished with it’s fun in the playground. There is a bit of fear starting to brew, and the VIX-X chart is a great place to watch it unfold. Note that if the Fear rises the SPY may fall below the T-Line and test the lower T-Band. Buckle up; it’s Friday.

MMM Earnings Spanking DIA’s

Pre-market earnings on MMM giving the market a little spanking. It Looks like the DIA’s will be testing around the T-Line today after closing bullishly above the T-Line for the past 8-days. VXXB closed yesterday with a Bullish Morning Star pattern suggesting the nervous traders are getting a bit more nervous, and the FANG ETF chart is whipping around this morning. The SPY seems to be holding up in the Pre-market, but it’s early as I write this blog. It’s looking like today will test the confidence of many traders, having a solid risk plan on each position held will help to keep calm and focused. The close yesterday suggested the market was in for a little profit taking today, even with minor (emphasis on minor) profit taking the SPY and the overall market is still trending. The Live Trading Alerts Scanner will be very helpful today with charts alerting Bullish or Bearish Action.

Strong Earnings Strong Day

Another strong day in the market due to strong earnings. Yesterday marked the 16th day the SPY has closed over the T-Line (8 Expediential moving average). Yesterday’s candlestick closed at $292.88, well over the concerning bearish engulf a few days ago. Price action dipped into the T-Line Bands for a couple of days finding new money before launching an attack on the breakout and new highs. Our outlook remains bullish as long as price action continues to build new highs and higher lows above our lower (RED) T-Band. We will continue to monitor the Live Alert Scanner for buy alerts and setups like the T-Band Moving Up, The RBB Alert, The PBO  Alert, and The 3 X 8 Trap Alert. Did you know there are over 140 pre-built scans/alerts?

Buyers and Sellers Battle

The price action battle is on between the buyers and sellers. Last week the sellers printed a Bearish Engulf on Thursday and follow-through on Friday. Yesterday (Monday) the Buyers printed a Bullish Engulf that covered Friday’s Doji follow-through. The buyers still control the trend, hands down! Using the recent Doji low $288.66 as the pivot low the buys have a chance to use yesterday’s Engulf as a key candle to help with there challenge of higher highs. “Of course the question is will they” As boring as this market has been it’s nice to see the profits/losses and the net gain posted in the trading room. “Thanks, Traders!” The VIX continues to show no fear, which points to a bullish market.

Friday Follow-Through?

Thursday last week the SPY printed a Bearish Engulf and Friday we did see minor follow-through with Friday’s close below the halfway point of the Bearish engulf and a lower low. Price has closed below our blue tightening wedge lines both Thursday and Friday. On the bright side, the SPY chart trend still has a bullish attitude with price closing Friday above the T-Line Bands. If the sellers can print a lowe close today below the green T-Band $286-285, could see a test. A bullish close over $290.35 would suggest the bulls are not finished with there challenge of the $293.95 high. This is a pretty heavy week of earnings, chose wisely when taking on a position or holding a position. With price action still in the bullish side of the T-Bands, we will remain cautiously bullish and continue to trade with clarity and rules.

SPY Bearish Engulf

The SPY closed yesterday with a Bearish Engulf and closed below our narrowing pattern (I talked about the narrowing pattern in yesterdays morning blog) When we see a candle signal or pattern has printed it is important to wait for confirmation before making a huge commitment. A close below $289.40 would suggest about $287.30 may be the next pit stop. Of course, if the Bulls find a spark to run with a close over yesterdays high would surely see a challenge of the $293.95 area. Remember tomorrow is Good Friday and the market is closed, we will be treating today as our Friday and pulling a few trades off the table. Having the right tools to do the job is important, we all know that! What would you think if you changed tires for a living and didn’t have a jack, having the right tools is important for success.

Posted 4/17/2019 You can see from the SPY chart (above) the trend channel is narrowing as price moves closer to the SPY all-time high. As price narrows, I will be watching for a decisive break one way or another (Bullish or Bearish). Usually, when price narrows and builds pressure, a move is in the works.

Price Patterns Narrowing

Another higher low for the SPY, the high had trouble, but the low was higher. Yesterday (Tuesday) was the 12th day above the T-Line Band. The SPY chart does look like it’s determined to challenge the $293.934 September high. Seriously the wall of worry is starting to get to traders, let’s keep it simple: Stay with the charts that are trending and the trend makes sense. Use trend lines and price action (Candlesticks) to determine if the trade is still in your favor. Become a base hitter by pulling off profits as price moves in your direction.

More Earnings Today

More companies are set to report today, be sure to check your holdings to be sure your comfortable holding a position through earnings. No real decisive move on the SPY other than the buyers did not give up control. Yesterday was another bullish day above the Green T-Line Band, and I don’t see anything in the pre-market that will change the bullish attitude of price action today. The wall of worry continues to worry some; simply follow the chart. A friend asked me yesterday, “is the market going to crash again?” my answer is the same I say to our readers. “Yes I am sure it will someday, but you can’t predict when or live in fear.” Being a short term swing trader and having a trading plan that includes base hits is a solid plan for most traders. A base hit can be anything from $50.00 to $5000.00 or more. It depends on your portfolio size and the amount of stock you hold. As an example, I currently have five contracts of TGT with a $325.00 profit, would that be a base hit or a home run? Different answer for different traders.

SPY $293.94 or What?

Is the SPY determined to hit $293.94 or what? The buyers seem to be on a mission as you can clearly see in the SPY chart to challenge the SPY all-time high and the sellers seem ok with this as well. Friday ended the day with the 10th day in a row above the T-Line and the T-Line High Line. Friday’s candle does open the door for a possible Hangman but let’s not predict, let’s wait for the candle to form and confirm. The trend is still bullish, and price action still suggests the bulls are in control. The T-Line Bands (on the chart they are the GREEN, BLUE and RED lines) have proved to be a fantastic tool for trend, great trading patterns, and profits. The LTA Live Trading Alert Scanner has this scan built into it, and I love it!
