The big Apple (APPL) has reported, not as bad as thought; pre-market is up. Now we take a seat and patiently wait for the 2:00 pm bus. The FOMC decision Hawk or Dove will be out at 2:00 pm today, rate hikes, up or up more and when. Knowing this information could help the market get off its fanny and make a move one way or the other. Yesterday the SPY closed with another indecision Doji, the 5hth one in the past five days. “Think the market is waiting for something”? The chart patterns and price action remains bullish as price holds over the 50-SMA and slides sideways. The price action is trapped between a bearish downtrend line and the 200-SMA and a bullish uptrend line and the 50-SMA. Unfortunately, neither the buyers or sellers have had enough juice to move price up or down. So we patiently wait sitting along side the road for the bull or bear bus to show up. The CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) closed above the T-Line yesterday, but the Red/Green Trendicator is still red on the daily chart. The VIX- would have to break out over the Trendicator to consider fear. There is plenty of reasons to remain concerned or even be sitting out of this market right now. I do remain cautiously bullish.

FOMC today and tomorrow, big earnings this week YIKES! I you ever heard me say “I don’t like earnings?” Well, I don’t. I have seen earnings kill trading accounts and set traders back months on their profit progress. And then on top of it all, we have the FOMC rate decision this week as well. As you can see from the SPY chart below, price action is walking right into the right corner of the up and down trend lines. The bigger direction decision will likely show itself once the buyers or sellers push the price above the downtrend line or below the uptrend line. The last six candles have simply been consolidation above support and below resistance. For the bulls, the price has been trending above our Red/Green trend line, and the past seven candles have held above the $260.60 support line while at the same time the bears have held price in a tight range below the downtrend line. I suspect a big decision is coming soon. The CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) closed once again below the T-Line and the Red/Green trend line. However, with a double bottom and a possible breakout of $21.95 would create a bullish chart pattern. There is plenty of reason to be concerned or even be sitting out of this market right now. I do remain cautiously bullish.

Big week of earnings this week, double check your positions and new buys, do you want to hold them through earnings? The past few weeks have been very good to most traders, and last week was no exception. Last week the SPY was in chart pattern creation with Monday’s pop and the next four days creating a PBO, continuation pattern. If you follow the Volatility stop, you can see five dot support line. Last week also remained above the T-Line and the 50-SMA. Above $260.60 January 23rd low we will remain bullish looking for the buyers to challenge the $271.00 area. When reading a chart, I find it is helpful to look at Price Action, Support, and Resistance, The T-Line and the Red/Green Trend/Line. The price action of the CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) closed Friday below the T-Line and the Red/Green trend line. Friday’s close did not produce any bullish buyers of the VIX. However, the VIX is testing the 200-SMA once again so we may see some a relief rally this week.

A close over the T-Line today would be the 15th-day price action has to lead the T-Line into bullish battle. Price has tightened up the last three days, the Doji yesterday is the smallest of the 3 and yesterdays low was higher then Wednesdays candle. The past three candles have also had slide into last weeks support area. This week the sellers have tried to push the buyers into a hole but have failed thus far, the buyers have hung on tight to the road traveled from the December lows. A strong bull will be wanting $266.50 followed by $270.50 a strong bear will want $258.60 followed by $255.65. The VIX-X price action has failed to close above the 50-SMA after a minor challenge. But the bottom building is possible and real.
Friday is a good day to collect a fw of those profits and take a few loss if needed. It’s kinda scary holding too much over the weekend with all the political BS and the unknown. Good trading to all and have a great weekend.

Buyers are holding off the sellers in this bullish pullback. The SPY printed another lower low yesterday, and then the buyers stepped over the sellers closing well above the low. The price action of the SPY is flirting with-testing the 50-SMA and the $258.60 support area, what I would call a bullish pullback. Here is why I think the bullish pullback is good for the overall market, let’s look at the past five candles. The past five candles are drawing what could be a bullish continuation pattern, of course, it is based on the buyers holding support. If the bullish continuation pattern pans out the next target area would be about $270.50. And if the sellers walk all over the buyers $255.65 and $251.40 will be in the cards.
Notice how price action is trending above the T-Line and the Red/Green Dottrend in the chart below, we will remain cautiously bullish until we see a compelling bearish candlestick pattern with follow-through the breaks the bullish trend.

The trade war with China set off a little selling yesterday bringing in fear to the market, as stated yesterday we are cautiously bullish. As you can see from the 4-hour chart, the trend went from red to green. Price has followed the green dot trend challenging the Dotted Duece. Yesterdays fear brought in what looks like normal profit taking down to a minor support line and still above the $258.40 support line. With price closing above the $258.40 trend line and the Red/Green Dot trend, we will remain cautiously bullish until we see a compelling bearish candlestick pattern with follow-through the breaks the bullish trend.

Last week on the daily chart the SPY broke through the 50-SMA and the following day price action produced bullish follow-through. As of Friday we have had an 11-day bullish T-Line Run showing the strength and determination of the bulls. Both the Dotted Duece and 200-SMA are just above for the bulls to take.
The weekly Candleless chart the 3-EMA is just now coming up to meet the T-Line (8-EMA), and both the 34-EMA and 50-SMA are still in bear territory. Over the years of trading, I have learned to respect the T-Line trend and how price action and other moving averages act around it. The daily chart has cut through the first layer of the resistance skin and is suggesting a good bullish trend working its way back up through the 50SMA while price moves up and down as it should. The week chart 3-EMA still lags below the T-Line. (Cautiously Bullish)
VIX–X Chart – 15-candles below the T-Line, Doji close Friday on the 200-SMA. The T2122 chart closed Friday at 99.27

Bullish Wall Of Worry
The bullish wall of worry can be taxing for swing traders. Here at Hit and Run Candlesticks, we help with that navigation. The SPY is challenging the 50-day SMA and the 50% retracement of the October 2018 highs and the December 2018 lows. The bullish challenge thus far has been successful with price action and a bullish T-line Run working quite nicely together. The next challenge for the SPY will be in the $270 – $274 area. I continue to watch and manage the charts and our profits like a Hawk as price navigates through this minefield of resistance.
VIX–X Chart – We are watching the CBOE Market Volatility Index for signs of fear or the lack of. As of yesterday, the fear is low as the price action is approaching the 200-SMA. The 200-SMA could start a small fear movement, Note the TC2000 / T2122 chart is now pegged at 99.04
