The Game Plan
Today’s move was unexpected and has changed the character of the market and for the moment, it looks like the reversal is in. Take a look at my post right after the market close: http://themarketspeculator.blogspot.com/2009/03/definate-change-in-market-character.html It’s not time to add shorts, even with the big move. However, I’d like to…

Definite Change in Market Character
Today marked a change in character for the market. SPY has now convincingly mounted the 50 day moving average, the volume pattern shows accumulation, RSI is steady above 50 and the price bar is of the “breakout” variety. I’ll be looking for a pullback to initiate longs.

Game Plan: Play the Pullback, Then Buy
My current game plan is to play the expected pullback (based on overbought conditions, volume, price candles and resistance levels) with inverse ETFs (currently in SRS and SDS). Once stocks on my bullish focus list pull back to support levels, I’ll reverse and start buying.

Correcton: Overbought Market
In the previous post I said the market is oversold. Obviously I meant it is overbought. Thanks to those who commented and e-mailed me.

Trade: SDS
I entered 400 shares of SDS today when my buy limit order was hit at $88.15. I don’t do this often, but I am using two different stops for this trade. Half the position has a stop just above $78, while the other half is above the 50 day moving…

SPY at a Glance
The doji candle printed Friday, which follows a bounce on low volume with overbought stochastics, leads me to believe we’ll see a pullback this week.
-
Trade: SRS
I took a small “probing” position in SRS (ultrashort real estate) today at $61.55. As noted in a previous post, the bottom of price support is in the $50 range, thus the small position size. Note the extremely oversold the stochastic indicator.

Taking Full Profits in existing SSO Position
I took profits in the remainder of my SSO position at $17.02 (entry at $14.25). My only current positions are half positions in USD and X. I am looking to add longs on a decent pullback and shorts on a multi-day bounce.
-
USD
One of my favorite bottom plays going into yesterday’s bounce was USD (semiconductor ETF). While I am still holding a partial positions, it’s now moved right into resistance. I may add to it on a pullback.

The Gold Short: AEM
The short gold trade I mentioned yesterday is working great so far. I entered AEM at $49.80.
