My Swing Trading Approach

I held all my positions overnight, while adding one additional play to the portfolio. I will be raising my stops today, while also playing it cautious as today is the last day of the quarter. 

Indicators

  • Volatility Index (VIX) – Bounced off the lows of the day, and continues to struggle with a break of the 20-day moving average. I expect a bounce at the open, but the bears have really struggled to hold the gains over the past few months. 
  • T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Only 39% of stocks are trading above the 40-day moving average, and only a 1.3% bounce yesterday. Overall, there are a lot of oversold stocks here, and I expect a bounce in the coming days from this indicator.   
  • Moving averages (SPX): Recaptured the 10-day moving average, abut still below the 5-day.

My Market Sentiment

The bulls continue to squander market gains in the afternoon. Just like Wednesday, yesterday, we saw a steady decline that wiped out the majority of the day’s gains. Now it is dealing with a critical trend-line and a gap down at the open today. Recover by the close, or break the current trend-line.
