JPow actually said that earlier in the day and I suspect that was the catalyst for the methodical selling around noon for DJIA -500 and COMP -250. The fact the markets closed strong after that is encouraging.

There were buyers today. In the morning and again late in afternoon.

The relief rally/deadcat bounce likely comes tomorrow or Monday. Inverted red hammer yesterday and spinning top today. Green hammer or doji possibly tomorrow. This leg down is almost done but the leg up will be for swinging calls. Im long with calls expiring Monday. Will look to unload these between cases or at market open if we gap up.

Bottom still a ways down.

I watch QQQ.... and it has been methodically walked down. Every pop hits a whole number slightly below the last wall of resistance, and down it heads again. Literally may just invert my chart and trade puts. Maybe I'll fare better.

It's only Cali but it's floating a balloon that the Fed dems will embrace based on the polls.

at the moment yes but it rejected today at 3960. the resistance is maybe not a precise number, so until it clears convincingly i wouldn't say it's clear yet

Chart to me doesn't say so. Bounce up maybe but for me it needs to consolidate between low 380s-402ish. Still think we test a little lower.

I'll watch EMA rejections for confirmations. Also the gap between 405-412. For now I'm good with watching and trading smaller and less often.

Didn't do much this week (except watch my long term accounts get punished).

Are you still in those LUMN $12 calls? And if so, what are your thoughts?
I am. They are right at my cut point at the close though. Today it lost a key level...along with most things. I'll see what next week brings given June expiry.


I had added a few of these calls on SR levels and sold all today for 50%. They have been green, red, green and decided to just take the 50% and go home.

I may buy back on a dip again same strike and expiry.

OPEX next week is the reason I think we'll start moving up tomorrow or Monday. So many got in OTM puts and we are pretty far below max pain (430 SPY and 300 QQQ) that I think the relief bounce will happen soon. Lots of chop and reversals along the way, but I'm slightly bullish near term.
FJ43

Ok hope this helps someone. Especially the new traders. After all this is a trading thread. This is just what I do and part of my 'system'. Fade me I'm a redneck.

The vertical blue line is the day I warned the death cross could happen and watch closely. Happened next day and here we are.
Pink trend lines are a channel it's been trending more or less in.
Yellow trend lines are breaks that would trigger my long trade actions.
White SRs are iPad quick rough levels.
Red SRs are next few ballpark levels to downside.

Today, it fell briefly below the lower channel line into and bounced at lower SR, then reclaimed the lower channel.

We are still bear flagged. But closer to SRs I'm watching and strictly from a TA basis I would have 'predicted'. So far so good anyway. Gap above it could try for at some point but still below a downtrend trend break.

Now which way do we go?

Could very well get a gap up open only to reject a level above. Tomorrow would be a great lotto Friday.

This is an awesome scalpers market and I'm jealous I can't play in the sandbox with y'all close enough to manage the intraday trades. I have to do a weekly on a Monday or Tuesday at best but most are monthly for options trades.

Shares I'm sitting back yet but also not trying to catch the bottom.

Excellent post, what time frame are we bear flagging on?

From March 29 where we began the larger downtrend on a daily, you'll see several fake breaks (bear flags) in the white circles only to continue the downtrend. Notice the one with the long upper wick also which also coincides with the death cross.

The yellow is where we are now and for me I don't want to get caught buying into another. They are a little messy the way I zoomed in but zoom out and they are a little more clear.

No one knows for sure the next move/trend. This is just how I analyze the trade and charts.

If a trader has solid discipline this is a scalpers market IMO. But have to be able to manage the trade, cut quick and not be on the greedy side.

Sorry for all the lines. I'm charting away tonight.

Thank you sir, love your charting. Just didn't see bear flag on daily, so was curious. But certainly could become one again, like the others. I would have no problems buying there as a trade, just knowing the risks, has plenty of room up while maintaining the overall downtrend.

No problem. Wouldn't surprise me at all for a gap up and try for 400+/- tomorrow. As a 'bet' Friday expiring 395s would have been my play.

Looking at the chart I would think the downward diagonal yellow trend line serves as resistance/bear trap. Which would suggest we could have a couple of green days before getting hit down to the eventual squeeze.
Given that it is opex week 2 green days followed by 2 red days would be premium killers for retail.

You posted right before me hinting at the above.

The market is erratic. Don't hold options over night only enter when you believe a short term direction has been establish. Set a stop. Have a profit target either $ or percent. Exit there or if trend reverses. A trade could be a few minutes to half an hour. But it is likely a short term direction has you stopped or exited with profit within an hour of each trade. Be weary if you are holding a short term trade longer.

In my opinion.

Now is not the time to be buying long dated calls or selling puts.
lobwedgephil
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, it is a day traders market currently. Holding anything short term overnight is a coin flip. I am certainly not buying long term calls here, but this is a great time to be selling puts, if done smartly.

Selling puts here is like buying long - trying to catch a falling knife.

Maybe, take advantage of elevated premium on a stock I would have no problem owning. I'm selling puts for like another 20-30% down. Certainly could happen, will just get some stock then.

Agree completely… You can sell Amazon $1,900 puts for 2.6% out 1 month. Amazon May blow past that, but if you told me that I would have a chance to buy Amazon for $1,900 I would say yes please.
