Technical Commentary:
IWM +0.95%, DIA +0.80%, SPY +0.55% and QQQ +0.18%,.

The ES futures found support just below its 38.2% Fib retracement level of 1,626.54 on this eighth day of pullback and formed a bullish harami.  Look for a bounce move on Tuesday. 

The SPY also found support just below its 38.2% Fib retracement level of 163.14 and formed a hammer and bullish harami candle.  Look for a bounce move on Tuesday. 

XLB and XLE shifted neutral while XLP, XLV and XLY shifted negative joining XLP.  XLF, XLI and XLK remain positive.  Three sectors positive, two neutral and four negative.  The current sector structure is now neutral even though the four-week plus (intermediate) term trend is still up.

Be alert for a potential support bounce on Tuesday.  Many hammer candles formed on Monday…see Hammers list below for potential setup ideas.

When the market is trending up Chart Signals looks for support bounce and resistance breakout entries.  When the market is trending down Chart signals looks for resistance pull back and support break entries.  When the market is sideways in consolidation Chart Signals will look for support bounce, diagonal breakouts and pull backs at resistance where price action stays between support and resistance.  The current market condition is sideways with a potential support bounce forming.

Trade what you see on the chart of your position.  The intermediate term trend is up with short-term trend down in a break of pennant support.  Traders should lock in profits when targets are reachedLook for potential entries in both directions according to your rules.


Chart Signals Strategy Guidelines
Technical setups for short-term option trades be in and out by earnings release.
Over earnings release use earnings option strategies such as straddles, strangles, OTM calls or puts.
After earnings look for bullish setups in positive reaction stocks and bearish setups in negative reaction stocks.
