19 Jun State of the Markets and 15 Trade Ideas
2476 and 2525 still possible for SP 500?
Other than some wobbly action and some large corrections in many of the Technology stocks, the broader market averages are holding up fine as we continue Wave 5 of Major Wave 3. This week we will take a quick look at the SP 500 weekly chart and the Russell 2000 (IWM ETF) charts. Also the Biotech sector continues to consolidate.

We can still pinpoint opportunities for the SP 500 to run up to 2476, this is our 2nd objective above the 2443 target we laid out on March 29th. Above that would target 2525 but that may be a stretch.
The Russell 2000 Index remains in a 6 month base pattern and its never wise to short a quiet market.
Biotech remains in a 4 month base pattern and we are bullish on this sector for relative out-performance
Essentially what the basic charts are saying is there is no reason to be Bearish near term until these patterns break to the downside. The technology stocks saw many tests of the 10 week moving average lines which is common on a large pullback during an uptrend. Typically the leading stocks in a bull run will correct 2-3x the market averages when the corrections unfold.
We had some stops near market close in place that triggered this past week even though frankly we like a lot of the tech names outside of just the swing trade environment. Names like MOMO, TTD, TDOC, SUPN etc. that we have uncovered early on in their uptrends are still bullish to us intermediately. We like to buy dips on them in terms of long term holding, but many of these names did suffer abrupt short term pullbacks in the past week.
Hello Dave,
Market Notes:
The Bulls are still at 50% in the Investment Advisor surveys with Bears only at 18.6%. This makes sense as we are still in an uptrend of Major Wave 3 of Primary Wave 5. However, this has come down from the peak of near 60% bulls back in early March.
To quote the Investors Business Daily weekend paper, this may summarize the current trading environment:

Swing Trading vs. Positional Trading/Investing- A new service to debut late July
We focus on fundamentals at about the same percentage as we do on a stock’s technical’s. Swing Trading requires some type of shorter term defined risk in terms of your draw down and stop loss points, where as long term or positional trading can offer more leeway on a drawdown and more patience. Both are valid investing methodologies and often combining the two of them as part of your active investing strategy is a good idea. This is why we are coming out in late July with our newest service looking for positional or longer term holdings with active and ongoing advice. We expect to build a portfolio of growth companies one at a time based on our research, names like TDOC, MM, SHOP, SUPN, TTD are samples of research we presented early on as swing trades but also would have worked extremely well as longer term holdings. Limited to just 200 subscribers we already have a large waiting list, so let us know if you wish to be on it.
