Trade Setups

We’re heading into the close and the market is playing with the notion of closing below 1340. If we close below that I’ll be a little bit more comfortable about adding more of the short setups listed below. I’ve already added Sigma -Aldrich (SIAL) at $70.27. I was actually thinking the market might take a

I’m a bit mixed on this market. On one hand, I’m not finding a lot of short setups that aren’t already well over-extended, and too risky to be jumping in at this point, however, there’s enough resistance overhead on the S&P, where I’m skeptical of it rallying much and lifting some of these shorts off

Only two new trades for me today, combined with my trade in USO, which has held up decently well, even though I am a bit under water on the position (in at $36.74).  The first trade was AEIS at $13.25 with a stop at $12.76. I can’t take credit for this trade as @thetradingwife spotted

SHORT: Omnicom Group (OMC) – Rising bearish wedge. Provides a great short opportunity once it breaks below support noted below.

When we got the downside reversal signal in the SPRI a month ago, it turned out to be one of the few times since this indicator has been published where the market definantly continued to march higher. Now we are on the verge of another signal to the upside. What I am most curious about

LONG: Rare Element Resources (REE) – Nice ascending triangle ready to breakout at around $6.63. Careful with the declining 200-day moving average, and look to take profits before then. 

The biggest thing I’ve seen this morning is that despite a strong ISM Non-Manufacturing reading the market has essentially shrugged off the positive news. At this point, the market is beginning to remind me of that tired, cranky child, who, at the very least, needs a nap, but fights with everything it has to keep
