Vacation Notice
It is time for a little vacation in July and the publishing schedule will be as follows:
- Vacation from July 12th to 17th (Monday to Saturday)
- Normal Schedule Resumes on Thursday, July 22nd
Think I will reread Reminiscences of a Stock Operator and Trading in the Zone, which are two of the twelve books on my reading list.
Check out the Premium Page (click here) for articles and videos covering trading strategies, seasonality, exits, patterns and more.
Today’s video starts with SPY and its grind higher. Large-cap techs are leading QQQ higher and these stocks are also contributing to the gains in SPY. Mid-caps and small-caps continue to stall as medium-term breadth indicators deteriorate. The big tech-related ETFs are strong, but extended. Small-caps are lagging, but small-cap growth is breaking out. Elsewhere, I am seeing bullish setups in XLB, IHF, COPX, CPER, SLX, XME, WOOD and IYZ.
Chart Strategy: Trend analysis, bullish setup, chart patterns, RSI and StochClose.
Exit Strategies: Indicators, riding the trend, using the ATR Trailing Stop.
