DRAG

Monday saw a  little drag on various sectors  of the market, but I still expect a bounce before another wave of strong selling resumes.  WEDNESDAY is a FED day,  so anything can happen, but Cycle timing is right for  bounce. 

The old saying is that a picture is worth 1000 words, and sometimes I see a chart that's worth a thousand words too.  The Banking index, for example , says a lot.

1-23-2016 WEEKEND REPORT

The weekend report will discuss the changes that we have expected for months, and how we now see those changes taking place.  Also, as mentioned in the last report,  the recent sell off is now changing into a Long position, but for how long?  To the charts! 🙂

SPX - On Thursday, Jan 21st  I mentioned that a swing low was in place  ( Bullish for going long).  It is safer to wait for follow through with a confirmation break above the 9 sma.

SPX 1-21

SPX -  We had that confirmation on Friday.  For traders, going long SSO, TQQQ,IWM, and various stocks was in place.

SPX 1-22

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.
