My Swing Trading Approach
I held off on adding any new positions yesterday in light of the upcoming Apple (AAPL) earnings. I’ll look to add 1-2 new positions today, should the market not fade the AAPL earnings. A break below 2801, will be reason to consider getting short on the market.
Indicators
- Volatility Index (VIX) – Reversed all the gains from the previous day, with a 10% sell-off, taking the VIX back below 13.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Bounce hard off of the rising trend-line for the indicator, taking it up 11% to 54%.
- Moving averages (SPX): The 5-day moving average offered an immediate rejection, while the 10-day was broken, but late day weakness, kept price from closing above.

Sectors to Watch Today
Industrials with a huge rally yesterday and the market leader overall. Real Estate breaking out of a bull flag pattern. Financials declined for a fourth straight day. Energy near the breakout level. Hard bounce off of the 20-day moving average for Healthcare.
My Market Sentiment
Bounce yesterday, was respectable, but lost over a third of its gains, before the close. Rejected at the 5-day moving average, and unable to close above the 10-day MA. Watch out for a possible price fade on the indices today, following a solid earnings report from Apple (AAPL), similar to Amazon’s (AMZN) from last week.
