Technical Commentary:
DIA -1.54%, SPY -1.40%, QQQ -1.30% and IWM
-1.28%.
The SPY opened lower and traded above Monday’s support low for the first hour when selling pressure sent prices
lower falling below its 38.2% Fib retracement level. The SPY fell to and closed at 161.27,
four cents below its 50% Fib level.
As expected when a support level
breaks the next support level is the most probable price level. Random?
Maybe but that’s twice this week alone.
We looked for a support bounce or break on Wednesday and the SPY
produced the break with a nice one day payoff. We will continue to look for a potential bounce move on Thursday.
TSLA today formed a bounce entry,
confirmation of Wednesday’s bullish harami and a hammer in its bull flag
pattern.
JNPR +6.61% formed a
large bullish engulfing in its
bull flag pattern that was also a horizontal breakout entry on the same day.
XLF, XLI and XLK
turned neutral. Six sectors closed
just below their 30 DMA today. Five
sectors are neutral and four negative. The
current sector structure is neutral and the shortest (four-week) intermediate
term trend on the SPY turned neutral.
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. Traders should lock in profits when targets
are reached. Look
for potential entries on a bounce or break of support 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.
Earnings this Week: CIEN before the open Thursday.
