My Observations and What to Expect:

- Futures are slightly lower heading into the open.
- Asia finished as much as 0.7% higher, while Europe is mixed/flat in their trading.
- Strong contrarian move to start the week, in which most Monday’s of late have had a very bearish tone to them.
- The S&P managed t close back above the 10-day moving average, but still below the 20-day. Look to see whether we get that additional 1-2 day pop higher, with us having broken the 10-day MA again, and whether that move can push us through the 20-day as well. To-date, we have been unable to close above the 20-day MA. The last five trading sessions (6/21-6/27) have been nearly identical to the market action that we saw on 3/11 through 3/17, in which the market bottomed. Here’s the chart showing the similarities.
- Bullish short-term wedge forming on the S&P daily chart. A move above 1288 today would break us out of that pattern.
- Also a bullish piercing pattern was formed yesterday on the S&P daily chart.
- NYSE Reversal Indicator shows us that a rally over the next couple of weeks is likely.
- On a bearish note (because I’ve definitely outlined the bullish argument!), bears must get this market below the 200-day MA ASAP. Right now it sits at 1265, can’t afford to let the bulls consolidate above that most important MA.
- There is a larger, downward channel that the market is trading in now, and a break below 1250 would break its support.
- This week, a move above 1296, and ultimately 1300 for the bulls would dampen the bears prospects for a significant move downward, and put in a ‘higher-high’ for the market.
- Greece will continue to be at the forefront of the news cycle, and will continue to affect market direction as well.
- My conclusion: Looking for the market to put a string of positive days together, that at the very least would cast a shadow on the argument that there is a new ‘Bear-Market’.
Here Are The Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Closed out KKD at $9.45 for a 4.7% gain, Sold TLB at $3.61 for a -1.1% loss, Sold MHLD at $9.20 for a 2.3% loss.
- Held my SPY and AAPL calls, and also bought and held overnight: AGYS at $8.12, IDIX at $5.30, RIGL at $8.57, and NYT at $8.34
- A strong move out of the markets today would lead me to book all or at least a portion of my gains in SPY and AAPL.
- Will continue to day-trade the market with my focus being on small cap stocks.

Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast!
I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!
Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.
That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
How should one go from their regular 9-5 job into full-time trading? As a swing trader, we don't have to necessarily be full-time, and instead we can combine our trading into a lifestyle that allows us to maximize our time and earning ability.
