Out of BIB 31% gain. The last few days brought the price below the previous 2 lows which tells me the trend is broken, so I'm moving out and taking profits. I'll check the charts after today to decide where to go next
 
I'm starting to think my chart reading is like my map reading....time to head back to leadership school;swear Now where am I?

SPX Another 2% down, on higher volume than yesterday. Gonna sit out for a while and just watch, I generally don't trade breakdown / breakout conditions
 
Thanks! I've always been in the mix, just not really posting here. A lot of things going on in RL but I'm back :)
 
S&P is showing some fight, but I'm not a believer. The IWM is still doing its elevator climb down, making me believe this downtrend in this market is here to stay. Thinking of shorting SPX since the trend has it following IWM's lead
 
Got an SPXL buy order that's close to triggering (46.70). Looks like for the short term we're going to run up, but also looking to exit within the week.

Intermediate term I'm leaning bearish. The SPX and Nasdaq have held the 200MA, but IWM has not, by a long shot. I won't be suprised if this is a short term bounce before going off another cliff, we'll see. Though failing to hold the 200MA is usually establishing a down trend, which I would already say the IWM already has. Same goes for IYT.
 
Buy didn't trigger so still on the sideline, that little rally ended in a whimper lol. SPY ended below the 200MA which is not good for keeping the uptrend intact, close to confirming the downtrend if it hasn't already.

I've been bad at calling downtrends historically though, so who knows. I've yet to trade in a bear market though, so I do have to say if this is the real thing, it's a pretty interesting time for me.

Just got an email saying TSP FUNDS ARE DROPPING FAST, message body was a bunch of doom and gloom about being overdue for a correction...

Time to buy? :D
 
buy on SPXL triggered @ 46.70, up almost a dollar from there. We'll see where it goes from here, probably will look for an exit around 49ish.

Still really keeping an eye on small caps and trans, since those being under the 200MA worry me. But they're both showing some fight at least right now.
 
Got out of SPXL for a 2% gain. Not liking what I see on the 5day charts for short-term momentum. Setting a buy stop for SXPS at 24.28.

Looks like the rally is either running out of steam or not knowing where it wants to go.
 
Bulls need to hold that 200MA on the S&P or it could be bad news bears. The level's been breached today.
