• More Sideways Price Action from the Indices Likely

    The ugly sideways price action is likely to persist I think that we are likely to see more of the same price behaviors yet again today. Yesterday’s price action started off typical, open lower, and then spend the rest of the day rallying back towards break even on the day.

  • Market Cooling Off Some At The Highs

    Barely a sell-off yesterday, market cooling off now When you can get a 3 point sell-off these days on the S&P 500, you might want to consider it a generational buying opportunity as stocks rarely do anything but go up these days.

  • Market Euphoria and Market Tops

    Market Euphoria still strong, but no top yet. And that is what you have to trade right now. That doesn’t mean that with market euphoria in full blow out mode, that you shouldn’t continue to trade to the long side, because you should, but you should always be prepping yourself every day for what you’ll

  • Key Bounce off of Short-Term Support

    What a solid bounce yesterday for stocks off of short-term support When you have a 15 point pullback in today’s market over a 3-day period, it becomes a ‘Generational Bottom’ or better yet, a ‘Generational Buying Opportunity’ for the bulls. Yesterday the market had a solid rally, a bit unexpected, as I didn’t think much

  • Let’s Trade in June with Some Volatility

    May was a good swing-trading month for me, but I’m ready for some volatility in June There was literally one day of trading in the month of May that showed the market still had a heartbeat to it still. Nonetheless, I managed to make it another profitable month of swing-trading as you can see the

  • It’s Snooze in May

    Instead of “Sell in May”, it is “Snooze in May” But more to the extent that the market is simply lacking the participants for big moves. There has only been one move so far this month that was in excess of 1%. But really, this market has been extremely flat since March. Nonetheless though, we

  • Market Divergence + Bitcoin Ramblings

    One last thought about bitcoin Okay, I want to go this whole week without mentioning bitcoin, crap I just mentioned it and even titled this post after it, so lets go ahead and throw that idea out the window, because it was over before it ever got started.

  • That Wall of Worry is Getting Steep

    New All-Time Highs – Everything is fine…or should I worry? It is like the market is a sling-shot. Last Wednesday’s sell-off represents the moment where the sling gets pulled back, really hard, and the subsequent six days of buying in the market represents the market ‘letting go of the drawn sling and watching it propel

  • Bitcoin Crash + The Stock Market

    Bitcoins grow on trees Stocks rise for a fifth straight day. For sure though, the talk of the town is the metaphoric rise in crypto-currencies, i.e. Bitcoin. I’m literally sitting in a coffee shop yesterday going through my charts, and a random stranger starts asking me what I think about bitcoin. I tell him

  • Nothing to See, Now Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Quiet Market

    Back to the Dull Market Action Just as I was expecting, we are back to the market conditions that we saw prior to last Wednesday’s sell-off. The market has bounced hard off of those Wednesday’s lows and within four trading sessions, we are back inside of the box that price action has spent practically
