Let's Get Right To It:
S&P 500 (SPY) Now 6 days under the floor trader pivots and officially oversold on the daily indicators. Slope on the 50 DMA now negative which means warning phase gathering momentum. Would prefer to sell rallies
Russell 2000 (IWM) Inside day on the 160 EMA meaning, in the current warning phase, should see some buying come in over today's high, but if breaks today's low, another leg down likely.
Dow (DIA) Most oversold of the indexes. Expect last swing low 126.92 to hold with any rally close to 130 a likely short opportunity
NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) Inside day. Big eyes here on the way today's range breaks since a run above today's high could change the near-term outlook which for now, still looks bleak.
GLD Oversold which means have to wait for some rally before putting on a new short position
XLF (Financials) Valiantly tried to climb above 15.00 instead closing under the swing low from early April. 14.38 is next area of support.
IBB (Biotechnology) Inside day with next underlying support at 121.65.
SMH (Semiconductors) Remains oversold with support at 32.15. Outperformed the market but could not get above the 160 EMA
XRT (Retail) Nice attempt to firm but not enough to get above the now neutral sloped 50 DMA which means like everything, vulnerable still
IYT (Transportation) Looks double toppish with 91.00 a possible neckline
IYR (Real Estate) Got to 64.18 after I wrote over 64.20 this gets exciting. Right now, market's best hope to hold up
USO (US Oil Fund) Oversold so unless it looks like it could return back above the 200 DMA, would leave this along
OIH (Oil Services) Inside day and still oversold with possible slingshot and room for a good short covering rally
XLE (Energy) Inside day and looking similar to OIH
TBT (Ultrashort Lehman 20+ Year Treasuries) Watch 18.05 again
Longs: On categories: Gap higher days we go to all categories and choose ones with lowest risk that break the opening range. On weaker days, we look at Category 3, especially if the picks hold S1, previous day lows or a major moving average and have a good risk on the reversal. The difference between Category 1 and 2 is the stock condition-a Condition 1 is strongest stock and more likely to make a parabolic move. Note: Lots of Category 3 which is perhaps the best sign for the market
Post earnings: TSLA A gap above 32.75 could be interesting
Category 1: (Aloha) Positive Phase, Condition 1, 2 days under the FTPs, Risk to Previous Day low, Can buy ½ over FTP and ½ over R1, Target- Day to at least 3 ATRs from entry:
WFM 86.60 max risk. 3 days under pivots at 88.25
Category 2: (Pipeline) Positive Phase, Condition 2-3, 2 days under the FTPs, Risk to Previous day low, Can buy ½ over FTP and ½ over R1, Target- Day to at least 3 ATRs from entry:
AXP Like to see 60.00 R1 clear and 58.95 hold
Category 3: (Double Up) Positive Phase, Condition 1 through 4, Positive Pivots which means candidate for Opening Range Reversal, Risk S1 or previous day low, whichever is lower unless noted differently, Target- Day to at least 3 ATRs from entry:
SWI Must hold today's low and clear today's high
