Thursday- October 12th

Wednesday had some action, let's take a look...

QQQ -  I not only feel that we are getting late in the daily cycle, but there are other signs that this has been a good bull move( RSI), but that this also is approaching a top here.

Oct 10 – Have A Seat

Welcome to Wednesdays trading, please have a seat and we'll start out discussion...

 

SPX - I believe that this is day 36 and I would expect that the markets can pull back into a dcl at anytime.  This remains a strong market, able to peak around day 36  ( R.T. Again).

Oct 8th – Are We There Yet?

Let's take a look and see where the last week of trading took the markets...

 

SPX -  The Big Picture for the General Markets remains the same. The ICLs  ( deep meaningful dips in the market) are becoming less visible as the bull run picks up speed.  Daily cycle wise? We are entering the time for a dip into a dcl.

Friday October 6th

Today is Friday, the last trading day of the week, and I have quite a few thoughts rolling around my head.  One of the biggest is the employment report.  Why? The Markets are on fire, The NASDAQ just broke out , following the SPX, DJIA, and RUT - which have been on fire.  What if the Jobs report disappoints?  What if the hurricane that hit Texas and then another one that hit Florida disrupts the employment numbers and caused more than expected to report that they are not working?

 

Well, again, it is Friday the last trading day of the week, so lets just look at what is in front of us as of Thursday nights close.

 

SPY - What a solid run higher after the break out. No change here.

 

IWM -  I used this chart in the comments /  chat section yesterday to simply show why I would use a 'trailing stop'  rather than just selling my position when it gets to a point of 'overbought'.  You would not be forced to sell in a runaway move,  you just ride the gains until the top is in.

Biotech Thursday

I have given in to the pressure. 🙂  After our normal market review, I will discuss some of the biotech stocks that are a bit higher risk, but have been seeing tremendous rewards (gains) lately.

 

SPX -  The idea of a trailing stop is working well, but we are on day 31, so we are now entering the time for the general markets to begin to seek out a dcl.  Lately dips have been sideways and downward as seen on this chart. Since that was an ICL that we just put in place,  and this is a R.Translated daily cycle, holding on to anything that is not leveraged may be fine during the dip into the first daily cycle. Some people just ride out the dips.

Wednesdays Mixed Bag

Honestly, not much is changing from the weekend reports expectations and the Tuesday update.  The General markets are moving higher, The USD has put in an ICL, Oil dropped but Oil & Energy stocks are holding rather well, etc. etc.,  so today I am just going to cover a variety of ideas, including trade set ups and a trading idea that is a bit higher risk ... a real Mixed bag.  Enjoy.

Weekend Report Sept 30

In the weekend reports, I like to visit the BIG PICTURE look of various sectors and see if things remain on track with our expectations. Since my day to day reports cover the daily market action and fluctuation, let's take a look at the Big Picture, shall we?

.

SPX - I mentioned in many past reports going back to last spring that if the markets begin to enter a more parabolic move, we will not be able to see the ICLS, based on past parabolic moves.

The highly visible ICLs come from deeper sell offs, but with the recent bullishness and 'buy the dips' that we've seen in the markets, we no longer see the ICLS clearly.  The small dip / consolidations that you see above my question marks ( when considered timing -wise ) would represent where the ICLs should be.  A Steeper ramp up and less sell offs is a bull run. The big picture simply remains very bullish, until we see a change in character.
