The markets look incredibly bearish today. The broader market indexes are all down 2% or more. Volume is strong so far for the day. The TRIN and TRIN/Q are both bearish. The VIX is incredibly bearish, up about 17%! Gold (GLD) is down 4% and the dollar (UUP) is up .65%. Across the board, stocks are selling off with serious conviction from the internal indicators.

The markets are mixed today on the back of some mixed economic data. The Russell 2000 (IWM) is the winner so far today, up .5%. Meanwhile, the Financials (XLF) are the real loser, down over 1%. The Nasdaq (QQQQ), Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA), and the S&P 500 (SPY) are flat to lower for the most part. Intraday, SPY tried to break out of its bull flag formation, but has failed. The TRIN and TRIN/Q continue to be divergent. The VIX is down ever so slightly. Gold (GLD) is down .33% and the dollar (UUP) is up .8%, so that should provide for some selling pressure in equities. If stocks hold up today, even if they close flat, that will be bullish.

Stocks are higher today with very little economic news, if any, to support the move. Citigroup is repaying its TARP funds. The stock (C) is down over 5% so far on the day. Exxon Mobile (XOM) is buying XTO Energy (XTO) for $31 billion. XTO is up about 15% today while XOM is down over 4%. Takeovers usually work out that way. The company that is purchasing usually experiences a drop in its stock price and the company being bought usually sees its stock gap up or pop. Also, Dubai is receiving $10 billion from Abu Dhabi to cover debt. If any of these headlines is helping push stocks higher today, it’s the Dubai bailout.
The Nasdaq (QQQQ) and Russell 2000 (IWM) are leading the markets higher today with the S&P 500 (SPY) trailing close behind. The Financials (XLF) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) are the weakest indexes so far today. The market internals are corroborating the move higher with the exception of the TRIN. The TRIN is actually giving a bearish sentiment read, while the TRIN/Q is bullish. Recently, these two indicators have been divergent; normally they correlate positively and give similar readings. The VIX is bleeding out nicely, which is bullish for stocks.
At the end of my video I cover four trades that I took last week as well as one that I missed. Starbucks (SBUX), NetFlix (NFLX), Big Five Sporting Goods Corporation (BGFV), and HMS Holdings (HMSY) are the trades I took. Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods OJSC (WBD) is the trade that I missed. The trades include: High Base Formations and High Base Breakouts, Ascending Triangle Formations and Ascending Triangle Breakouts, Bullish Pennant Formations and Bullish Pennant Breakouts, as well as Pull Back Buys/Pull Back to Support/Bull Pull Back/Bounce off of Support plays.

Economic reports came out this morning and they were bullish for the most part. Stocks are pulling back right now based on technical moves. The S&P 500 (SPY) put in a small double top formation on the 15 minute chart. The Nasdaq (QQQQ) has been selling off all morning. The VIX is spiking although it is still lower. The TRINs are heading into bearish territory. Be careful going long here (or short for that matter). Keep in mind that we are still holding up in our longer term consolidation patterns on the broader market indexes.
I personally have taken 4 small trades in the past couple of days. I will talk about them in my Post Market Analysis or possibly my Weekend Review. Thanks for being a part of Swing-High.com! Always trade with a stop loss and manage your risk appropriately.
