My Swing Trading Approach
I’m concerned about the weakness coming into today, and may curb my long exposure while adding some short exposure.
Indicators
VIX – Flirting with sub-10 again. Right on the verge of doing so.
T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average) – Improved quite a bit, but still, with the indices trading at or just below all-time highs, T2108 shows only half of stocks are participating in the rally.
Moving averages (SPX): With all the MA’s captured, follow the 5-day MA for any changes in the current direction of the market.
Industries to Watch Today
Financials and Energy have become entirely unreliable of late. Tech seems to be the best of late as well as Biotech.

My Market Sentiment
North Korea continues to cause problems for traders here. Overnight surprises requires traders to be nimble and light.
