December chop suey
Seasonally the move has been made and yes, you can say Santa did his job. The indices are in chop – as is historically the case in December – so no surprise the indices are stalling at the range highs and struggling to regain their Monday session mojo. There are corners of the market worth focusing on and I explain why and what they are in this update.
Trade Ideas to Consider in MSFT
Today I am looking at an overall setup on MSFT. Currently we are seeing some chop, but MSFT has done a great job of continuing to hold support while maintaining an overall bullish trend. With earnings later in Jan I am looking for a potential move higher out of this consolidated range going into that announcement. In this video I walk through the charts as well as trade ideas to consider.
Is Santa done?
Expectations for continuation may be met with disappointment and it has to do with December chop and what the Santa Rally usually does. Let’s take a look at the usually action in December and why with Monday’s move Santa may have exhausted himself.
A trade to take us into next year
With both the technical trend and the macroeconomic trend in place, the long US dollar setup is one that could not only trigger this week but also take us into next year. In this video I explain how I have been buying the dips in this market.
Market gearing up for a breakout?
Before I prep and lay out a thesis for the market, I like to plan for the few scenarios the market can see – above (bullish), below (bearish), or sideways. The S&P 500 (ES) has been setting up a 2-day squeeze as the market chopped due to the economic events leading into the holidays. Will the squeeze fire and launch the ES to all-time highs? Let’s take a look at the market conditions and set the tone for the new year.
Trading Home Depot and Lowes
LOW and HD are both set up for nice trades into new highs. There is always so much talk about which is better, so let’s compare levels and risk parameters with each.
Trade Plan for the New Highs in the SPX
We recently discussed a plan for Meats, Metals, Softs and more. Tonight is a review of those and a plan going forward. Watch to find out more!
Who’s been naughty, who’s been nice?
Santa’s still coming to town but the trends are not ones that would suggest that we should have a longer-term expectation on follow-through. In this video I explain where and why this will be so but that there is plenty of opportunity we still have.
Happy Holidays and Happy Rally!
In this video, we look at the ES and SPX for clues about the market. I think the bounce we have had last week is amazing and I expect more. Next week is the “official” Santa Rally so get ready for more upside.
One Chart to Trade
TSLA has been under the weather for a while now, but if Tuesday wasn’t the shift for it, Wednesday must’ve been. It may not happen Thursday, but I think there are higher prices in store and these are the levels I’ll be watching.
