Maybe some upside

AMEX:SPY   SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST
Kind of looking for a bit of upside tomorrow on SPY. MAYBE.

Reason being mostly that there was no capitulation today. SPY bounced back after damning results. And leading up to CPI release, SPY really seemed to want to rally but the gravity of the results omitted the rally from starting. While SPY did not make new highs or reclaim old highs, the bounce was still noteworthy IMO.

Furthermore, we hit my time series target for this week and I see SPY has slowed down a bit and is not interested in barrel rolling through my bearish targets. I think its not UNREASONABLE to expect SOME upside.

SPY may look weak, but really I don't see it when I look at it from a math based perspective. If we look at today for example, you see that SPY surpassed the mathematical bull targets and did not even come close to touching the bear targets until after hours:




The chart looks bearish, but we should all know by now the charts and patterns have been somewhat misleading this year.


Not planning to play SPY per sé, but planning on watching it closely.
My plan for tomorrow is IWM with an ideal long entry in the 168 zone. Otherwise, I am short biased on IWM in the 174 range.


Also, make no mistake, SPY is bearish. Short is the correct answer here until SPY breaks out of this descending channel. This is more for you day traders out there. I don't expect this to go parabolic and go to 400 anytime soon. I just think we could see some unconvincing upside. But I also don't recommend shorting from the 70s either. Be patient with your entries if you are planning on shorting.

The only thing that will change SPY's bearish trajectory is if SPY breaks out of this descending channel. Then we can talk 400s and beyond. Until then, I am looking for SPY to want to play around in the 80s tomorrow. If we open in the 70s, 381 is what I want to see. If it is actually connivingly bullish, 384.

If this turns out to be bearish, we can say hello to 370.

Anyway, this is just my thoughts. Very little analysis was involved in this so it could be very wrong. I will post something more concrete over the weekend.

Trade safe! Enjoy the rest of your week everyone!


Trade closed: target reached:
Ended up playing this long via UPRO shares. Sold at end of day before close. Don't feel confident swinging into tomorrow but I do anticipated some continuation here.
