Technical Analysis:
- Big day for S&P 500 (SPX) as price broke out of its 3-day doji-range and pushed to the upside.
- SPDRs S&P 500 (SPY) saw its volume drop for a fourth consecutive day and fall below recent averages.
- The 5-day moving average continues to hold strong for SPY as it has tested and bounced each time it has been tested the last three days.
- Another similar push higher to what was seen yesterday will push SPX to new all-time highs.
- Nasdaq (QQQ) stocks showed signs of recovery yesterday. As money flowed out of defense and into big-tech.
- The bounce in SPX and all the other indices minus the Nasdaq, are showing similar charting patterns to the Brexit bounce. I expect that trend to follow, with a second leg up and consolidation there after.
- CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) testing the rising trend-line form the August lows. – This area has held perfectly throughout the duration and could lead to another sell-off in equities.
- United States Oil Fund (USO) is sporting a bullish island reversal yesterday.
- SPX broke out of a triangle to the upside on the 30 minute chart yesterday.
- Following seven straight down days on the Dow Jones Industrial (DJIA), it has now managed to rally 7 straight days. A rare phenomenon.
- Poor breadth continues to dominate this market over the last five trading sessions, with yesterday being the first day that the advancers definitively outpaced the decliners.
My Trades:
- Closed out SPXU yesterday flat.
- Added three new positions to the portfolio yesterday.
- Will look to add 1-2 new swing-trades to the portfolio today.
- Currently 30% Long / 10% Short / 60% Cash
