INTERMEDIATE-TERM: NO CONCLUSION, IN WAIT AND SEE MODE

0.1.0 SPY Short-term Trading Signals, a Hammer is formed today which looks bullish. But by definition, today is not a reversal day because volume is decreased. Plus since the shadow is mostly buried by the previous day’s shadow (means not much shake out of weak hands) so it’s not as strong (reversal) as the Feb 5 Hammer. So whether the market has bottomed is still remained to be seen.

SPYShortTerm 

Another question mark is, time wise, if indeed SPX has bottomed, then by definition the pullback was ended actually on 05/06, therefore only lasted 8 trading days which is much shorter than that of June 2009 (18 trading days) and January 2010 (13 trading days). Since the pullback strength this time is much stronger than those of previous 2 pullbacks, so logically, 8 trading days sounds not long enough to me.

TradingDayWatch 

Anyway, trading wise, according to my rule, is simply – because all trend signals in the table above are still “sell”, so personally I’ll mainly focus on selling bounces.


WARNING: If you don’t understand the true meaning of overbought/oversold, please skip the session below.
Generally, you should try your best not to trade against the trend. Trading purely based on overbought/oversold while against the trend is lethal to the health of your account. Before going further, please make sure you understand how to use the table above.
SHORT-TERM: DON’T RUSH INTO BULLISH CONCLUSION TOO SOON

1.0.0 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 60 min):

  1. As mentioned in today’s After Bell Quick Summary, could be a Diamond Bottom formed, the target is $117ish. This is just one possibility.
  2. Diamond Bottom is not an absolutely bullish pattern, there’re 31% chances it may breakdown, and if so, the target is $109ish.
  3. Considering Fib 50% and January highs serving as multiple resistances above, so SPY could pullback intraday tomorrow to form the right shoulder of a Head and Shoulders Bottom pattern before rallying further.
  4. From the chart we can see, there’re lots of multiple resistances confluences area above, so it’s actually not very easy to rally to $117ish.

So the conclusion is, again, don’t rush into bullish conclusion too soon.

SPY60min 

6.1.1b Extreme CPC Readings Watch, forgot to mention this in the After Bell Quick Summary, CPC >= 1.01, 77% chances a green day tomorrow.
