My Swing Trading Approach
I’m not opposed to adding more long exposure, but may wait for some consolidation in price or a light volume pullback first.
Indicators
- VIX – Breaking down hard and fast. Down six days in a row. Lowest close since late January, and a sign that volatility is trending lower.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): Key test for T2108 coming up today. Has an opportunity for the indicator to break through some major resistance.
- Moving averages (SPX): SPX trading above all major moving averages, including the 100-day as well.

Industries to Watch Today
Yesterday saw utilities lead the market higher, with Technology just behind. Discretionary was a drag on the market, as was Staples which is by far the most hated sector at the moment. Healthcare may finally be changing its tune, with a strong day yesterday and a break of downward resistance from the January highs. The same downwtrend has broken in Financials too.
My Market Sentiment
Downtrend finally broken that started with the original sell-off back in January. That is a big development as is the higher-high that has been put in by breaking the April highs.
