Markets Celebrating the Obvious? Day 2S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 05/18 Our stance last couple of weeks has been: "Our models are indicating an initial bias towards an inflection point coming soon. Barring any unexpected bullish development showing up on the horizon, chances are that this could be unwinding to the downside". Looks like potentially arriving at some kind of agreement on debt ceiling and avoiding a potential U.S. default is being masqueraded as that "unexpected bullish development" (which almost everyone expected anyway). Whether this move is going to be the start of the next leg up or to be a classic pump-and-dump remains to be seen. For now, the force appears to be with the bulls, possibly aided by the squeeze of retail, leveraged shorts. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are flashing a potential bull trap ahead if this morning's move up proves unsustainable. Models indicate going short at the close if today's close is to be below 4147 (activated at 3:59pm). If opened a short, models indicate instituting a hard stop at 4187. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans for THU. 05/18: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4187, 4176, 4165, 4155, or 4143 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4183, 4173, 4151, or 4138 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4161. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:16am ET or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

Post-CPI Bullish Spike Needs Confirmation from PPI TomorrowS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 05/10 As we wrote in our published Trading Plans yesterday, "The CPI and the PPI releases this week are likely going to make investors contemplating over the basics of the markets - economy, inflation, interest rates, and, maybe, freshly obsess over potential recession.". The post-CPI market action so far is underwhelming at best - looks like the markets are waiting for a confirmation from the PPI release tomorrow. Our models are indicating an initial bias towards an inflection point coming soon. Barring any unexpected bullish development showing up on the horizon, chances are that this could be unwinding to the downside - we might see a confirmation in the next few days. However, if the PPI confirms the market action post-CPI this morning, then we might be starting another bullish leg. We need to wait for the PPI tomorrow before forming any directional bias. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are waiting for the PPI release tomorrow to form a positional trading bias. For now, they are in an indeterminate mode and indicate no positional trading plans for the day. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans for WED. 05/10: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4140, 4131, 4123, 4112, or 4102 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4128, 4118, 4109, or 4097 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4136.

Back to the Basics: Inflation, Interest Rates, and Economic OutlS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for TUE. 05/09 With the earnings noise in the rear view mirror, markets are likely to go back to the basics this week. The CPI and the PPI releases this week are likely going to make investors contemplating over the basics of the markets - economy, inflation, interest rates, and, maybe, freshly obsess over potential recession. Our published Trading Plans last Friday stated: "Our models indicate no confidence in the post-NFP spike up, and are on the sidelines for now, with no bullish bias in place yet. Bulls need to be cautious about sudden spikes lower, while bears need to be cautious against taking on any shorts prematurely.". That outlook is still valid for today. However, our models are indicating an initial bias towards an inflection point coming soon. Barring any unexpected bullish development showing up on the horizon, chances are that this could be unwinding to the downside - we might see a confirmation in the next few days. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are re-iterating early bearish signs it initially flashed a couple of weeks back. However, they indicate no specific trading plans for today. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.

Wall Street Celebrating Main Street's Good News?! S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 05/05 The strong Non-Farm Payrolls number on top of what Powell had to say yesterday after the FOMC rate decision should have pushed the markets down worried about "higher rates for longer time" but the markets seem to be celebrating mainstream good news for now. The options positioning and the extremely bearish retail sentiment point to this spike up as a potential short squeeze rather than some underlying strength. Wall Street celebrating Main Street's good news gives something to be wary about! Our models indicate no confidence in the post-NFP spike up, and are on the side lines for now, with no bullish bias in place yet. Bulls need to be cautious about sudden spikes lower, while bears need to be cautious against taking on any shorts prematurely.

It's All About the Regional Banks Now!S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 05/04 While the FOMC and Powell could not scare the markets enough yesterday, the Regional Banks are accomplishing that and some! With the KBW Regional Banking Index is now flirting with the 2020 Covid-19 lows. And, it is May (the "Sell in May and Go Away" adage on the street, and in academic research)! Looks like a scary recipe for the bulls, at least for now. Our models indicate no clear trend emerging until after the session close.

Fed Speak - To Be Scared or Not To Be Scared?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 05/03 Thirty minutes into the FOMC rate decision, markets appear to be yawning at the numbers and just waiting to parse every word Powell is going to speak at the press conference beginning at 2:30pm ET. As of now, markets seem to be in a dilemma as to whether to be scared of the Fed speak about being tough on their fight with the inflation or to be hopeful that the regional bank crisis will soften the Fed's stance. Our models indicate no clear trend emerging until after the session close or early session tomorrow.

Pre-FOMC Tantrums or Some Concerning Ailment?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for TUE. 05/02 In our first trading plan of this trading week - published yesterday, Mon. 05/01 - we wrote: "With the FOMC meeting this week, everything else takes a second place until Wednesday. Expect a push-and-pull action in the markets heading into the event. If you are not a nimble trader, wait until the event is over for any directional trading. Most of the market action in the last few sessions appears to be driven by short squeezes rather than any directional conviction. Our models indicate no clear trend emerging until after Wednesday. Bulls need to be cautious about sudden spikes lower, while bears need to be cautious against taking on any shorts prematurely." The "sudden spikes lower" we mentioned are manifesting this morning - whether it is indicative of the typical "market tantrums" before FOMC day, or whether it is an indication of the banking-sector related anxiety developing into some ailment might become slowly apparent after the FOMC event tomorrow.

To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

SPX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 04/27Big Tech Earnings to Trump Economic Slowdown Concerns? Yesterday evening's strong earnings from Meta seems to be adding to the tone of impressive earnings from Microsoft, Google, McDonalds, and Chipotle that all seem to demonstrate that major firms have pricing power to absorb the inflationary pressures. Continued big tech earnings momentum into the next week, peaking with Apple's earnings next Thursday, might try to buoy the markets into the next few days. It remains to be seen how sustainable this push up would prove to be. Our models show no bullish trend in sight for these markets, at least for now. Bears need to be cautious against taking on any shorts prematurely. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models, while flashing early bearish signs, indicate no trading plans for today. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Trading Plans for THU. 04/27: Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4115, 4108, 4100, or 4085 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4104, 4096, or 4088 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4111. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 1:01 pm ET or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).

SPX Model Trading Plans for FRI. 04/21Markets Struggling to Gain Some Traction - Day 2 Despite the initial downward momentum post-PMI release this morning, markets still seem stuck in the tug-of-war between the "Inflation peaked" optimism and the "recession onset" concerns, and the earnings season so far has failed to give either the bulls or the bears any real traction. Whether the earnings next week will help the markets gain momentum in either direction remains to be seen. Our positional models continue to be in an indeterminate state until further notice. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate no trading plans until otherwise published. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

Trading Plans for FRI. 04/21: Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4150, 4134, or 4123 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4146, 4129, or 4120 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate no explicit exits for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:01 am ET or later.
