The SPY And The Wall

This $281.50 area on the SPY is proving to quite the wall for the SPY, three times last year and two times this year. The T2122 chart (4wk New High/Low Ratio) is breaking down from its overbought area now trending toward the oversold area.  The SPY chart is a bit puzzling right now, The Bears produced a Bearish Engulf yesterday and a Bearish Evening Star a week ago, the Bulls have held the trend in a fairly tight range. There are many things I have learned in my 31-years of trading; one is to know my risk limits. Yesterday we made two great trades with VXXB and SPY puts then went to 100% cash. Until Mr. Market gives a better clue, I will plan to sit mostly on the sidelines with only a few trades here and there. A close over $280.50 the bulls have a chance, under not so much.

Monday Morning Wall of Worry

The SPY wall of worry comes through again. I do think every trader is concerned about the resistance line that is drawn across 10/17/18 – 11/7/19 and 12/3/19 and rightly so. On the other hand, the same traders are seeing the bulls hold it together with a bullish trend starting in late December with a weekly chart showing Ten weeks of new higher lows, (crazy and amazing). Put those two scenarios together, and you have the perfect wall of worry. Remember that price is king and price builds trends. The VIX-X chart is showing no fear in the market and remains pushed down below our Red/Green line closing Friday at $13.57. A  VIX-X close over $16.20 would certainly get the attention of the market. We will be starting Monday cautiously bullish, taking profits into strength or base hits.

#1 Traders Edge

The chart in a yesterdays blog post I had drawn two red lines, one at Monday’s high (Resistance) and one at Wednesday’s low (Support). Yesterday printed a higher low Doji within our T-Line Bands that formed the early stage of a Bullish Continuation pattern. Bullish followthrough over Monday’s high $281.31 would suggest the Bulls may be ready to challenge the $286 area. Now for the Bearish scenario – Price closes below the $277.48 support line would suggest price may be headed back to the 200-SMA. The Live Trading Alerts Scanner can and does help

SPY holds T-Line Band

The SPY’s Evening Star is still present as well as the QQQ’s, DIA’s and IWM. The SPY’s low yesterday was $277.48 or the Lower T-Line Band, yesterday’s low was also the 3rd lower low in a row and the 3rd lower high. The three lower lows and lower highs is a sign the sellers have more control than the buyers. However as of yesterday, not enough control to push price below the T-Line Band bullish area. $281.00 remains strong resistance but not impossible to break out. The bulls have truly been amazing. If this week’s price can hold it’s low above $276.35, it will mark the 10th week in a row of higher lows. We are still cautiously bullish, bullish because of the trend and cautious because of the $301.00 resistance.

The Month of February is coming to an end, and I would like to thank all the members for there post and comments. It is so great to read your post when you enter and exit a trade and your wins and losses, thank you.

Follow Through IS Required

The close yesterday produced an Evening Star closing on the upper T-Line channel band. More selling and a close below yesterdays low $278.90 today or tomorrow could put price action on the blue Lower T-Line channel band or about $276.90. If a Red Volatility Stop Dot is created, the pressure on the bulls might make them run for safety about $273.50. A test of the 200 SMA is possible if the buyers don’t put a game together. The T-2122 chart 4Wk New High/Low Ratio saw weakness yesterday below the 80 line, and today we are likely to test the recent low. From the December low to yesterdays high the 23.6 Fib retracement would be $269.80, a nice healthy pullback, the 38.2 line would be at $262.95.

4-Hour Chart Evening Star

I often watch the 4-hour chart, and yesterday the SPY 4-hour chart ended the day with an Evening Star closing below the upper T-Line channel Band. The SPY looks to be opening lower today causing a high probability of price testing the Lower T-Line channel Band. A close below $278.50 will likely produce a Red V-Stop, first one in the past 18 days. Note we have not seen a Red V-stop on the daily in the past 41 days, that’s a lot of bullishness with no real rest. Yesterday’s 4-hour Evening Star was produced at the $280.00 resistance line with the 4wk New High/Low Ratio above 80. The VXXB chart closed with a solid piercing candle on the daily chart and a Morning Star signal on the 4-hour chart. Final comments: trend light in this market if the SPY fails the T-Line the $200SMA or $274.50 and $271.20 could be in the cards.

No Tariffs For Now

The tariffs postponed for now, and the pre-market has gapped. Today is Monday 2/25/2019, and the pre-market has gapped over our $280.00 resistance line and looks like it’s hanging on by a thread. As of the Friday’s close the bulls held there ground closing at $279.14 and once again price closed above the T-Line and 17ema the Red/Green line. The big question today is the $300.00 line going to support (the safety net, or will price fall back through? One thing I have learned in my 31 years of trading is that a chart can be overbought and stay overbought for a very long time. While many traders ovoid in an overbought area I have found some of the best and easiest profits are hidden in an overbought condition. If price falls back below $300.00, $279.40 would be the logical first target Good trading and have a wonderful day!

Ya Baby, It’s Friday

Ya baby, it’s Friday, and it’s payday at our house. For years I have used Fridays as a day to close out a few winners and losers, so I don’t have to worry and sleep so much over the weekend. And with the trade talks (turmoil) and the SPY so close to resistance this is the perfect Friday payday. With that said the bulls held us above the T-Line yesterday proving (for now) the buyers outnumber the sellers. The VIX did start to show a little fear yesterday but did not close over the current downtrend. The 4wk new High/Low Ratio chart is way overbought and cracked just a little yesterday. Did you know that being a trader you control how you manage your portfolio, risk, reward, paydays? So enjoy your weekend by taking control.

SPY Flashing Caution

The SPY is flashing caution yet eeked out another positive day yesterday as price tiptoes to the $280.00ish resistance line. On the weekly chart, the past 7 bars have closed over the T-Line with one PBO back to the T-Line and one Doji Continuation pattern that has pushed the price into the resistance area. The battle between the Bulls and the Bears is interesting at the $280.00ish level because the Bears have a possible Head and Shoulders on their side and the Bulls have the Inverted Head and Shoulders they have been working with and the recent Bullish run. Problem: As the battle begins to heat up we have found the weaker traders tend to be the biggest losers. Solution: Sit on the sidelines for a few days or have fewer positions and less invested in those positions. And be tougher with stops.
