My Swing Trading Approach
I am not looking to make any significant changes to the portfolio today. The market needs to bounce and recapture its footing here.
Indicators
VIX – Small move yesterday considering how weighed down the VIX has been of late. Bounced only 3.1% to 10.49 yesterday.
T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average): 10% decline yesterday, one of its biggest pullbacks in the last two months. Only 51% of stocks are trading above their 40-day moving average now.
Moving averages (SPX): Broke the 5-day MA, 10-day moving average may be tested today.

Industries to Watch Today
Technology fared the best yesterday but the overall chart shows some concerns, while Healthcare and Basic Materials took a major beating. Utilities still looks like it wants to rollover. Financials may be showing signs of a bigger pullback here. 
My Market Sentiment
Hard sell-off yesterday (relatively speaking). Some support at the 10-day moving average.
