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.

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 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.

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.

A chart I have up and on one of my monitors at all times is the FANG chart (Ticker FNGU) or FANG Index 3x Leveraged ETN FANGS stocks are (FB) (AMZN) (AAPL) (NFLX) and (GOOG). The FNGU chart has been instrumental in determining trend direction and pullbacks in the overall market. As you can see from the chart, it is approaching the 200-SMA. The 200-SMA is a moving average know for its support and resistance. More time than not I have experienced price action consolidation when price enters into the 200-SMA zone. While the market is still trending bullish, we will continue to trade bullish to the long side while monitoring how price action acts on the (FNGU) chart in the 200-SMA zone.

Not much change in the market, the bulls continue to ride the T-Line train to bull town. Price gapped down yesterday and closed with a Doji on the T-Line. The bull-bear T-Line (Reg/Green T-Line) held with a green trend on the gap down so we will remain cautiously bullish as the buyers climb the wall of worry. Earnings kick off this week and could be the catalyst that pushes price action up to and over the $300.00 mark on the SPY. A little caution: The VIX chart pushed a little yesterday closing over the T-Line turning the trend green. The VIX is a huge clue in the fear or lack of fear in the market. Trade well, Trade smart my friends.
Today’s Action plan: Manage current positions, taking off a few profits when presented. Yesterday we took profits on FDX and will consider a reentry of the chart presents itself. The LTA Scanner is already turned on, and we’re both ready for a great day.

Earnings
kick off this week, make sure you double check your dates before buying a stock!
The SPY posted another bullish day yesterday. Have you ever noticed how price runs
on top of the T-Line and even push higher, then come back to the T-Line and
even float below the T-Line for a few days? Yesterday marked the 6th-day
price has run above the T-Line. I use the VIX is flexing its muscles this
morning, keep a close eye the VIX is a valuable tool when it comes to how deep you’re
invested. Above $13.85 on the VIX we will likely lean into a few shorts or
puts. The T-2122 chart is on our radar up above 80.
Today’s Action plan: Yesterday we closed our XOP for a nice profit. Today we will be managing our current trades and possibly taking a sweet 25% base hit on FDX. The LTA Scanner is already turned on, and we’re both ready for a great day.

On the SPY. Monday of last week the bulls popped price over the T-Band high and price continued to post higher lows the rest of the week. As with T-Line rules; when price moves too far and to fast from the T-Line the probabilities increase for a pullback. The overall trend in the SPY remains bullish. The T2122 chart is in the overbought area, but we all know T-2122 and stay overbought while price continues to perform. IYT needs a rest based on its recent performance which means we could see a little softness in the market. SMA still holding strong with no sellers in sight as of Friday. The VIX appears to be constructing a bottom so we will be watching the VIX closely for signs that the construction is ending and the bulls taking over.
Our action plan today and this week will be to keep a close eye on our green longs and pull profits when appropriate. FDX, GIS, VLO, XOP, QCOM. Friday last week in the afternoon the LTA Alert Scanner did a great job of pointing out tradable chart setups, and I have no reason to think anything different this week.
