Weekly  Stock Market and Trading Strategies Report Week of July 22nd

Results and Notes:  

Mercury Retrograde usually has more volatility during the few times a year it rears it’s head.  This lasts into August 1st, and we could see a Wave 2 low around that time in the 2910 SP 500 area from the 3018 highs.  Loosely near term watching 2950 as support but could see more correction ahead if that breaks. We took a break from new Swing Alerts this past week due  to being patient for pullbacks and we took profits on several names including GH and ZM near their spike highs. Last week SRP Members booked 9%, 11% and 8% gains on 3 names with no losses.

Short Term and Long Term Elliott Wave Views for the SP 500 Index

Short Term:   Wave 1 of 5 likely topped at 3018, as it did pierce that 13 day EMA (2983 currently) line I said to watch for clues. I would expect to see 2950 area next and then 2910 area loosely for a Wave 2 target low by end of July possible.  One day at a time but that’s the short term road map.

Long Term: Major Wave 3 will continue to push all time highs intermediate to long term, with 3100 initial major resistance on SP 500.  Intermediate 3 of Major 3 unfolding which is usually the most bullish of waves (2728 bottom of Intermediate 2). Pullback near term is normal.

Long Term View:  Int 3 of Major 3 underway to over 3000

Intermediate Wave 3 (Which has 5 full waves) of Major 3 continues. This is the most bullish usually of all Elliott Wave patterns.  We are looking for north of 3050 as discussed prior with 3100 area likely resistance in time.

Short Term View: Wave 1 done?

13 day EMA support broke on Friday and likely we are in early stages of pullback Wave 2.  Normal corrective action would be down to the low 2900’s before a possible start back up of Wave 3 to all time highs.

Weekly ideas and tips on Swing Trading Success:  Sell when your giddy, Buy when your scared.

You have to trust your instinct on the market if you have one, I use Elliott Wave patterns that I can identify along with some other indicators of Sentiment to gauge where we are in a short, intermediate, or long term Bull or Bear pattern.  Right now in a super Bull pattern, but even these get overbought and sentiment must correct.  We didn’t issue any new Swing Trade Alerts this past week on purpose, because I just wasn’t seeing as many opportunities or charts that I liked. That was one red flag to take more profits and sell.  We sold out of 3 positions using our “Sell 1/2 when up 8% or more” rule and in all cases that worked out as all 3 stocks fell in the short period after. When everyone is high fiving each other at the water cooler over how smart they are in the stock market, your probably near a short term sentiment and stock movement peak… best to take a breather and let stocks come back into better risk adjusted ranges.  Sell when your giddy, buy when your scared… hard to do, but that’s what works long term.
