Weekend Video – SPY and QQQ Lead as IWM Holds Support, Lots of Wedge/Channel Corrections and a Couple of Breakouts (Premium)

Check out the Premium Page (click here) for articles and videos covering trading strategies, seasonality, exits, patterns and more.

Today’s video starts with new highs in SPY and QQQ, and the extended trading range in IWM. Large-caps, large-cap techs and healthcare are leading the market, while small-caps, industrials, finance and others are lagging. Even though several groups are lagging because they declined the last one to three months, many formed falling wedge or channel patterns that represent a correction within the bigger uptrend. We will focus on several of these patterns. The Home Construction ETF and Copper ETF broke out already. The segment on the Healthcare Providers ETF highlights a stop-loss technique to consider when price closes below the ATR Trailing Stop.

Trading Corrections: Identifying and trading the falling wedge.

Exit Strategies: Indicators, riding the trend, using the ATR Trailing Stop.
