The 20 Day Test

Filed under: Stock Picks,Stock Sector - 30 Sep 2008

Yesterday, I wrote about the five waves down I’m seeing on the S&P 500 daily chart for the last year.  Here’s a chart I made which shows the five waves a little clearer.  You can see at pivot points number two and three, that it took basically a week to get back into that channel.  I was expecting a similar scenario for this last pivot low, but the market seems to be moving much faster than usual.  Now that the SPX is back in the channel, it’s either going to retest the bottom trendline, or just rip higher.  I suppose it could just base out here, but I’d be real surprised if it did that.  My thought is that it’s going back to the upper trendline in the next 20 days.  So I’ve decided to give it the 20 day test, and hold some UWM, UYG and QLD, which I bought today.  My target is that top trendline near 1275.  My stop is currently below the bottom trendline, and I’ll have to wait to see here if there’s another pivot low which forms at a higher low.

    the S&P is back lingering around 1100 again, and finding support for the 3rd time this week. I just picked up some SPY October 120 calls for $1 at 3:00 today. All it takes is a rate cut or talk of stimulus to cause a nice snapback rally. I’m on board with you on this trade!

    Hi Anthony,

    I was stopped out of the trade at the bottom trendline. Still anything can happen, but the bears had total control on Friday with that close.
