Interesting how today the tech sector was the strongest sector and did not have the same sell of as the rest of the market. Tech has been pulling back as the rest of the market has been making new highs. Seems to me the money is going back into tech as it has been the bigger mover and has been leading the market higher. This is a safe trade as most tech haven been hit like the banks or energy stocks.

Today we saw the financials sell off as with energy, two sectors that lead this market down, and have been leading it back up. This is one of the first days a weakness in these sectors in a while, as people are taking profits and letting the stocks breathe. It seems as if the institutions have st oped buying as the volume was not as high as it has been for a Monday in this recent rally off the lows. Seeing the volume more as trading volume than buying from institutions. I am looking for the market to move lower in the coming weeks as we can not rally forever and stocks are coming be be over priced. As i say that I am holding cash with a small short posistion. If i take any longs I will have a tight stop as this market can turn at any moment. Right now I am watching GLD for the price of gold to see if money is going back into a safer trade, as it has been with rising volume on the GLD, seeing gold only down around $80 off the highs in march. Looking for GLD to close above 90.5 to confirm a up turn in the sector for the short term. As this happens I think that we will see all markets pull back, and will hold a small short in SDS, and ready to catch a bounce. Right now i think the only trades that should be place should be short term day trades and scalps to keep risk down. Will be watching the short efts dxd,sds, qid, dig and skf for the down side trade. Will be come more interested in these if the market breaks 905 and 900.

SCG

Right now I'm Watching SCG. Nice flag pattern forming , looking at a 60 min chart, 30.20 is the bottom of this channel and 31.20 is the top. Interesting how we held steady here with todays market sell off. Will look fot it to close above 31.20 on the 60 min chart for an entry or low of channel at 30.20. If entry is at low of channel stop loss would be set to 30. If we do break , first target is 32.40 as gap window resistance on the 60 min chart

SDS and Market Outlook

Here is the daily chart of SDS looking for resistance, at 62 if this market continues to sell as it did today, first target is the 20 period SMA at 63.93 looking at the daily chart.


Here is the 60 min chart of SDS, looks to have a falling wedge pattern, we have the 50 SMA at 59.30 and trend line resistance in the same area (the top trendline in this falling wedge patten). Looking the see it hit the 59.30 level and consolidating before looking the the daily target.

60 min chart of the S&P 500 cash, looking at the 905 level for support if broken will continue down to the 50 sma and trendline support if broken, we will make out first lower lower, for a trend reversal. If the trendline is broke we will see a lot of selling come into the markets as many traders have tight stops in this fragmented bull market.

Weekly chart of the S&P 500 cash, looks as if we almost reached the last swing high in the 950 area, stochastic's are starting to turn down, right now this does not look like a bottoming pattern looks as if we are going to make an inverted head&shoulders pattern which is 3/4 of the way there.

Daily chart of the S&P500 have resistance at 950 area and the 200 sma. Two things can happen here, one we can get a blow off top as we did 2 March's ago where we blast through the 200 sma and then reversing intraday. If this happens we will see the market clime between 960 and 987. If we reverse here we will look for this trendline to be broken for more downside at the 900 level. After that we will look for 875, 840, 816 and 800.
