My Swing Trading Approach

Today’s follow through will be important, following Friday’s big technical move. Should that happen, I’ll look to increase my long exposure. 

Indicators

  • VIX – Substantial drop of 11.5% on Friday and dropping for a sixth straight day. 
  • T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): One of the bigger moves of late. A 22.5% move taking the T2108 to 48.3%. The market’s health is rapidly improving but with plenty of room to still do more. 
  • Moving averages (SPX): SPX broke above the 50-day moving average and now above all the major moving averages.

Industries to Watch Today

Industrials, Financials and Technology were the top three sectors. That is what you want to see in a market trending higher. These three sectors along with Healthcare are the healthiest ones to trade as they have all broken above the 2/27 highs.

My Market Sentiment

Major move on Friday, with the declining trend-line off of the January highs broken as well as the 50-day moving average. Now it just needs to break above the February 27th highs.
