Today’s Swing Trade Ideas

LOCO / Long (Restaurants)   LOCO was trading bearish for several days below the T-Line, and a low was put in on December 16.  Then for the next week or so, price moved sideways still underneath the T-Line with a slight dip creating a scoop pattern.  A tiny bullish Harami sparked a gap with another gap closing over the T-Line and the 20-day simple moving average.  The T-Line is currently 13% away from the 34 EMA.  If bought low enough, we can call this a pinball setup to the 34 EMA and on continued follow-through, there is a possible 25% profit to the 50-period moving average.

My entry plan idea:  Inside day buy below yesterday’s high and above the T-Line
My stop plan idea:    A close back below the T-Line for now

Good Morning, 

SPY:  From a longer view, we still have a bullish trend, but the short-term trend or what I refer to as the swing traders’ trend iscontrolled by the sellers.  Price continues to trade below the T-Line, and it was not a bullish or a reversal signal at the close of yesterday.  The bearish “M” pattern that’s trying to form in the SPY chart looks clearer each day.  A close below $197.86 and the “M” will be official.  When following candlestick signals, it’s important to have patience and wait for a candlestick reversal signal or pattern to clue you in that a reversal or a bottom is forming.  If you look at your daily SPY chart, can you see the reversal bullish pattern?  Neither can I.  Therefore, in my humble opinion, I think the best action is to be patient, wait for the candlestick signal or pattern and trade because of that signal or pattern.

All of today’s trade Ideas are long so here a few Inverse ETF’s I am following if any kind of bounce has no legs.

IWM:   IWM found support at the 200-period moving average but there is still not a bullish reversal signal or pattern.  Price continues to trade below the T-Line which suggests the sellers are still in control.  The current price level on IWM is very important right now.  If you take a look at your weekly chart, you can see that the 20-period moving average and the 50-period moving average have been moving together tight and close for the past few weeks.  The 20-period moving average has even slipped below the 50 for about a week, so if price continues to slip lower and drags the 20-period moving average below the 50-period moving average, that will be a clear sign that the bears are gaining ground.
