Today’s strong recovery in AMZN stock on the heels of earnings brought the price to and then just above its Voodoo fireline — the same level which had been resistance on recent recovery attempts. How it reacts at this level will likely show the next move in this name.
Whether it’s the NASDAQ, S&P, Dow, or Russell, was this the move to buy or to short into? The answer—as always—begins with the market structure. In this update we will deep dive the indices and sectors and look at what today’s rally set up for next week.
2022 is still resilient, but after today, can we talk about buying QQQ Puts? In this video we discuss the characteristics of today and look at some potential trades for next week.
In this video, I walk through what type of strategies are really working in this market environment while keeping Risk low, and I also walk through a trade idea to consider today on SPX.
As traders await Friday’s Non Farm Payroll, staying nimble and short-term continues to be a productive approach. When trading in the morning, there are support and resistance levels that are not necessarily the obvious price based levels that most traders watch. Here is how I break down the morning session with volatility and time based support and resistance.
As the rate hike closes in on the market there are other currencies in play, like the Euro that is worth watching, as well as the pullback in corn — a market that climbs in the inflation environment. NASDAQ continues to be a short the rip setup as well as XLY and XLC, but the S&P, Dow, and XLK remain in chop. Remember to keep structure first and it will be easier to navigate this chop.
This market is at a decision point and could depend on AMZN earnings. If the market is disappointed and starts to sell off… I talk about a bearish trade idea on SPX to consider. If AMZN, and in turn the market, can get a bounce higher, then I walk through a couple of longer term bullish swing trades to look at.
With the GOOGL volatility and anticipation for FB earnings, it made sense to focus on the shorter term timeframes for more nimble opportunities (after NFP Friday is really the hot zone we want to capitalize on). The S&P set up an ideal exhaustion setup after chopping for the first two hours of the day, but knowing that there was support and an oversold confirmation, it was easier to get long and stay long the S&P.
