Technical Outlook (SPX):

- A strong bull market will see a move like yesterday get quickly bought up today.
- Quickly approaching short-term overbought, which will likely occur today barring a major sell-off.
- Volume was above average yesterday and close to being on par with the strength we saw on Tuesday.
- Pushing this market below 1411 will create a strong bearish advantage, until then, no major worries for the bulls.
- Expect market volume to continue to lighten between now and Christmas.
- Healthy pullback on the 30min chart of SPX.
- Fiscal Cliff talks yesterday deteriorated dramatically.
- SPX has reclaimed all significant moving averages.
- VIX spiked significantly higher to over 17.

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.
Watching the dollars rise and fall in your trading account can turn a well-planned swing trade into an emotional, deeply personal decision. In this episode, I explain why focusing on price action, percentage returns, and R-multiples can help you avoid cutting winners early, holding losers too long, and abandoning your trading plan.
