- The $SPY continues to be range bound in 2015.
- Stocks as an asset class are being traded and not accumulated outside of a few individual stocks like $GOOGL, $FB, and $AMZN.
- The MACD currently has a weak, bullish crossover.
- The 5 day EMA held as support which shows momentum.
- The 52 RSI shows slight momentum, but Friday’s rally was rejected.
- Up days last week were on declining volume, and down days were on increasing volume, which signals danger to bulls.
- The New York Stock Exchange had 61% advancing, 36% declining stocks on Friday. Your sector choices are important.
- $INDU has been under its 200 day SMA for 6 trading days which shows weakness in big cap stocks. $SPY could follow.
- The VIX is at 12.12, and that level has usually signals short term tops in 2015,.
- This year is a trader’s market, trends are only on a multi day basis. Stock and sector selection matters. Swing trading is the best performing system I have this year, buying deep dips and selling into short lived rallies.
