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.
