My Swing Trading Strategy

I added one new long position and also a short position to hedge against any possible market sell-offs today. At this point, I have enough long positions in the portfolio, and will look to simply manage the portfolio’s current positions rather than adding any additional positions today.

Indicators

Volatility Index (VIX) – The declining trend-line off of the August highs was tested in the previous trading session but saw price rejection in the final hour of trading. Still heavy resistance there, and will take a notable sell-off to break and sustain a move above resistance. Still it managed to close 7% higher at 17.22.
T2108 (% of stocks trading above their 40-day moving average): Pulled back to the declining trend-line off of the February highs. A 6% decline in the previous session has the indicator sitting at 61%. If we are to see a bounce, it needs to happen here. Otherwise the chart gets very messy.
Moving averages (SPX) Bounced off the 50-day moving average but closed well below the 20-day moving average.

Sectors to Watch Today

Only one sector finished higher on Friday, and it was Energy despite a 1% sell-off in oil. You could make the argument that a bull flag has formed, and possible that we see a bounce here off of its 50-day moving average. Staples remains in a very tight trading range right now, over the course of September. Real Estate continues to hit new all-time highs as does Utilities. Healthcare should be avoided here at all costs. The sector looks like a mess and starting to break below the August lows.

My Market Sentiment

You have a linger possibility of a double top formation coming into play. However, it won’t take much to nullify it, with a move beyond current all-time highs. The 50-day moving average continues to hold strong, and the tap from 9/5 came close to filling but not quite. Headline risk in regards to China and the possible Trump impeachment still lingers and will hap an impact going forward.
