My Swing Trading Approach
With the FOMC Statement coming out today, I will likely stay on the sidelines until it is released.
Indicators
- VIX – Second straight day of little to no movement in the indicator. Remains at 12.34.
- T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): Flat session saw the indicator remain at 71%.
- Moving averages (SPX): Trading above all the major moving averages.

Industries to Watch Today
Utilities showed remarkable strength yesterday followed by Technology and Discretionary. Energy continues to struggle to find any kind of footing. Potential head and shoulders pattern forming. Financials will certainly be impacted by today’s FOMC statement.
My Market Sentiment
Not a fan of taking part in much activity ahead of the FOMC statement, unless it is a perfect trade setup. FOMC days typically see low volume in the morning and strong volume following the statement’s release. Remember, following the FOMC, it is likely you’ll see multiple price swings.

Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast!
I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!
Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.
That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
In this podcast episode, Ryan tackles the issue of taking meme stock trading and applying it to IPO's and chasing after them to astronomical highs, and why for most people the likely result will be massive losses being incurred. Also covered in this episode, is whether you should short meme stocks, and why that is even worse of an idea than chasing after the stocks to the long side.
