Wednesday – Oil Did What?

It certainly looks as though Oil has entered the capitulation phase of a sell off into an ICL, and a low is very near.  I want to discuss that as a future buy opportunity in this report, but first we'll do a market review.   Just to reiterate:  In just about every sector, Trading remains very choppy.  That can be a bit  frustrating or even a bit damaging if position size isn't kept small, stops aren't honored, etc.  The sidelines are not a bad place to be until the dust settles a bit.

SPX - Rejected at the 50 sma on a bounce, so far this peaked on day 7.  We now have a possible inverse H&S, but the open gap below could draw price in for a gap fill.

11-13-18 / Choppy Trading – You Can Also Sit On The Sidelines

The Stock Market involves real money, so it's by no means considered just a 'game', but similar to many  games, we have a few choices when we take a position(s).  If, over time, we find that things are getting a little rough ( the markets may get choppy for example,  or players may get banged up), we still have choices.

    3 basic choices are:

1. We can exit the playing field (sell) and head for the sidelines to avoid all  of the choppiness.

2. We can stay in the play until we get 'stopped out' or are rewarded with a move higher

3.  Just wait on the sidelines and see how the game plays out for a bit as a spectator, and look for a better time to enter

IWM DAILY  - I drew this on Nov 8 saying that short term, I would expect the markets to pull back due to this light volume rising bear  wedge, however...

 

IWM DAILY  - That doesn't mean a big pull back, it may simply be this tag of the 10sma...

IWM DAILY  - And so far that is what we have.  IWM dropped and bounced off of the 10sma.

   

Now let's look at the Bigger picture...
