Weekly  Stock Market and Trading Strategies Report Week of August 26th

Results and Notes:  Gains in a tough week at SRP service (Stockreversalspremium.com)

Yet another crazy end to the trading week on Friday as Trump traded barbs with China over Tariffs. This pushed the CNN Fear gauge to 2019 lows of 18 (100 is super greedy and 0 is people jumping out windows). More talks of recession and investors are fleeing into Bonds.  Usually August is rough anyways so I’m not going to over react just yet.  We closed out GSX for 16% gains on 1/2 and 7-8% on the final 1/2 this past week. Issued swing on XXXX (Reserved for SRP members) which rallied big over 10% from the XX alert price before coming back to fill the gap at XX on Friday, still in buy ranges.  We are still high in cash at 80% on a relative basis trying to navigate these choppy waters.

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

Short Term: After an attempt to break out of the 2940 barrier, the Friday end of week Tariff tweet storm tooks its toll and markets tanked hard.  We are testing the 2843 SPX support zone now, and could pull back to 2790-2800 and still be OK for Wave 2. Fear is running very high.

Long Term: Wave 2 of Intermediate 3 of Major 3 should be completed, certainly the futures make the 2776 lows three weeks ago.  We are watching 2815 for support, then 2790-2800. 300 point rally requires a correction, long term still very bullish as the next wave SHOULD be 3rd of a 3rd of a 3rd. (Wave  3 of Intermediate 3 of Major 3). 3100 plus still in the cards after Wave 2 completes and Wave 3 up is confirmed. Will need some reconciliation with China though it looks like soon.

Long Term View:  Int 3 of Major 3 underway to over 3000 made up of 5 waves

Wave 2 down of Intermediate 3 trying still to confirm a bottom pivot. 2815 key support and 2843 being tested again on Friday.  Long term over 3100 still in the projections.   2790-2800 next level support for this count to stay valid.

Short Term View: Wave 2 over?

We pulled back as mentioned last week to test the 2820’s and this should be a regular ABC Flat pattern likely completed.  Would like to see 2815 or 2790-2800 hold and a move over 2900 soon to verify Wave 3 underway. This past week we couldn’t quite hold over 2900 but were there until the Friday collapse.

Weekly ideas and tips on Swing Trading Success:  Being Patient but ready to pounce

The last few weeks at SRP we have been keeping high cash balances and only 1-3 positions open at a time in order to stay nimble. During a Correction wave in the market there is no need to try to be a hero, discretion is the better part of valor. Live to fight another day as a trader, take profits quickly, sell 1/2 of any position up 8% or more always (Our hard fast rule), and be patient and let stocks come to you. Be overly discriminate and do not be afraid to have high cash balances for a bit.  This gives you ammo to jump on opportunities which we did with GSX this past Monday before taking 16% 1/2 position gains mid week and final 1/2 Position gains of 7-8% on Thursday before it dropped hard. Now likely coming into the end of the August washout, we could see more opportune and lower risk entries near term, high in cash, and ready to pounce. When fear is running high, its the best time to swing trade while everyone is diving out, that’s where you get the big reversal gains if you execute.

Swing Trade Candidates: 

KL was our leading play last week as Gold surged and this leader that was on our list popped 7% in a rough end of the week.
