Fast Trades

Just a Quick market review and then I want to discuss some fast trades for those that like to trade, but aren't ready to buy & hold quite yet.

.

SPX -  I discussed the reversal and likelihood of that low to be in place for a bounce / rally.  Thursday did put a swing low in place and the timing is right for a low.  We do not have a break above the 10sma as confirmation yet , so the safer trade lies ahead, but  some may have wanted to buy the swing based on timing, and place a stop below the Wed lows.

SPX 1-21

SSO, TQQQ, etc can be traded coming out of the lows, with a stop just below recent lows.

1-21-16 – Prepare For A Bounce

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down over 550 points yesterday and then rallied back into the end of the day, putting a form of reversal candle in place. Thursday morning the futures are RED, but we are at an extreme point that calls for a bounce/ rally. Yes it could last for days and weeks, but is the selling over? Lets review the markets and some stocks.

.

The SPX  put in a large reversal candle too, after breaking below the August lows.  1730 is a normal downside target, but I think we rally first. It should be easy to get a swing low.  A move above yesterdays highs begins the process.

What do I expect from this move higher after it starts?

Jan 16 2016 – Weekend Report

As expected, we have seen quite the sell off in the general markets.  Oil & Commodities have been selling off too. Gold , Silver , And Precious metals are holding up, but are they ready to run now, or will they sell off?  I actually spent a part of this weekend digging in to older charts and making some new ones, so lets take a look. 

.

While digging into older charts, I actually found this warning chart that I posted in April of 2015,  when I said I thought we were seeing that rising wedge forming.  Also by counting the months of the Bull market, we looked to be late in the bull.   I am re-posting it because it had a logical target to me at that time. 

SPY - We topped in May 1 month later. Now drop to Test the break out?

spy-monthlySPX - We broke the Aug lows Friday and recovered. This is a failure, but we can get a solid bounce soon. Lets discuss a couple of possible scenarios .  One is a flash crash right now, the other is a believable rally that rolls over eventually.

1-15-2016 Miner Exception To The Rule

Yesterday I saw a rather bearish development in Miners, so I immediately began doing research to see if what I was seeing was a major concern. I found something very interesting that happened in the past, and I will share that finding with you here,  but first let me review Gold here.

.

 This was Gold in my last couple of reports, and I expected it to drop down and test the break out. As mentioned, Gold had a very bullish set up, and the C.O.T.remains bullish. Here is how it played out. I expected a back test.

GOLD 1-11 .

We got the back test, but Miners broke down as gold reversed higher.  And with Gold then down pre-market, would this pattern hold up?

  GOLD 1-14

This was Gold at the close Thursday.  We would like to see this triangle hold up, and so far so good.

GOLD 1-14 c

What about the Miners though?  What did I see that was concerning, and what did I find that I thought was important to share with you?

1-13-2016 Observations

SPX -  Yesterday I was pointing out the reversal candle and we were expecting a move higher, but would it be just a bounce?

SPX REVERSAL 1-11

SPX - We will get follow through, so traders can trade it, but at this point I do not expect a return to the Bull run.  (See the weekend report for the big picture). Strong overhead resistance is pointed out, if the markets can make it to that area.

1- 12 -2016 What Kind Of Bounce?

We know that sooner or later the markets will bounce, but what should  we expect? A recovery or just a bounce? Lets check out the charts...

.

SPX- There are points of resistance to be watched along the way.  Look at the Aug - Sept 'bounce'. That first month was rather lack luster, but the surge in October was brisk. With a reversal on Monday, we may get out move higher immediately.
