Can We Buy The Dips?

Yesterdays report mentioning Anti-Gravity stocks was just the right thing to start the corrections  🙂   In Energy stocks I think we were getting a bit spoiled with 70 & 80 % gains in a single trade,  but not so spoiled with giving back 20 - 25% today in BAS, LGCY, ARP, etc.  Commodities are pulling back and Miners may start joining them.  Will we be buying this dip?  Lets take a look.

.

SPX - My chart from yesterday. I had called for a rally , but now calling for caution. 

SPX 3-7

SPX - And we did start a little selling Tuesday. We can go higher since we are still inside of that wedge, but eventually I expect a drop to at least the 50sma.

Anti Gravity

The stocks that we have been trading / investing in have been defying gravity for weeks. The fact that we are catching them right at the lows gives us time to enjoy the ride and nit worry about a short term pullback. So far, a short term pullback is rather hard to come by. Lets review the markets and look for more set ups.

SPX - It may be early in the investor cycle, but this doesnt look ready to power higher to me. I expect the markets to fail at resistance, at least short term.

Anything Else?

Well, the past several weeks have been excellent for trading , and we have seriously had reasons to celebrate, catching the lows in various sectors. All good things come to an end, so is it that time yet? Can we keep the celebration going?  lets review!

.

SPX ( or SPY) - A few weeks ago I was calling for a rally to get the bulls excited. Those who wanted to play it long should now be a bit more cautious short term. We have reached the spy gap, using a wedge to transport us there. The 200sma is there on the spx too 😉

SPY 3-4

Lets look at  another indication that the SPX is at least short term topping, and we'll then look at a longer term weekly SPX chart.

March 3 Trade Ideas

Trading has been amazing, and there are still some set ups that we can examine.  Lets get to it...

.

WTIC - Starting with OIL, this looks set up to pop.    I pointed out  a possible bottom in oil a couple of weeks ago , and I mentioned that when Oil broke to new lows, some Oil  stocks like WTI had higher lows and held up nicely.

WTIC 3-2

Now look at this ...

Not A Whole Lot Of Change Here

The markets are basically moving as expected, so without a whole lot of change, there isnt a whole lot to talk about. We'll do a quick market and then discuss some trade ideas.

.

SPX-  Good follow through.

SPX 3-1  

I've been discussing a rally for 2 weeks now, but where do I think this is heading?

What has been working lately?

The markets have been quite volatile and choppy, and that can be difficult to trade. At chartfreak, we've been focusing on bases and up trends, so lets do a market review and discuss this further.

.

SPX- I've been saying that I expect higher price, but this has been quite choppy.  If we dont get a surge higher soon, this could become an overbought bearish rising wedge.

SPX 2-29 . Read More

Is That A Bull Flag?

On Feb 17th, after the recent run up in Gold, I mentioned that it could Pause and form a Bull Flag.  These are often just a pause along the way  (although they can fail).  So lets discuss the last few days and discuss Golds Bull Flag and other important implications that I am seeing.

.

Feb 17 - I discussed a possible Bull Flag forming after a strong run higher. 

GOLD 2-17

Feb 24,  We have the Flag and it is often  just a pause before continuing to run higher.

GOLD 2-24

Then I started seeing similar bullish formations in various Miners, like TGD. This is an ascending wedge or ascending triangle, and usually plays out in a bullish break higher too. Hmmm.

TGD 2-25

Lets discuss chart patterns and look at some more Miners...

Quite A Ride

There were reversals all over the place yesterday.  From the Market sell off and Oil reversing higher, to  Gold and The Miners breaking out only to turn lower. What can we expect going forward?

.

SPX - Volatility has produced many reversal here at the lows, but I think they were just clearing everyone out before a run higher.

SPX 2-24

In an earlier report, I pointed out this possibility, and we see it playing out...
