My Swing Trading Approach
Pre-market futures are lower, volume has been weak of late. I should have enough positions to carry me over into the weekend. Though, I will be on the lookout for any opportunities that are too good to pass ups.
Indicators
- VIX – Quiet day, practically unchanged. Possible bear flag forming on the chart. Closed at 13.43.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): Testing resistance near the 66% area, but unable to break through as of yet.
- Moving averages (SPX): Struggling to break through the 5-day moving average for a fifth straight day, while still holding all the other major MA’s. Looks for a 20/50-day moving average crossover to the upside, today.

Industries to Watch Today
Still the best place to be is Energy, particularly after its massive multi-year breakout yesterday. Overall price action was very mixed among the sectors: half higher, half lower. But all of the sectors minus Real Estate, Utilities, Communication Services and Staples, are showing some very nice, coiling price action, that leads me to believe we should see higher prices soon. 
My Market Sentiment
Bull flag so far for the bulls, but unable to sustain any intraday momentum. Low volume trading environment makes me very distrusting of any rally or sell off here.
