SPY Charts and some Technical Analysis Today's Economic Calendar - The Charts - Opinion - Stock Picks. Today's Economic Calendar: 10:00 AM ET, The September NAHB homebuilder survey. The consensus is for a reading of 74, down from 75 in August. Any number above 50 indicates that more builders view sales conditions as good than poor. THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a guide, do other research as well.) BRIEFING/OPINIONS: The markets had a bad down day on Friday. Some technical damage was done to the market as the S&P 500 closed just below it's 50-day moving average. Some dip buying may come this week as well as attempts to get back over the 50-day. Also there is a possibility that the markets go sideways for a while. We had no major changes to our chart indicators. The MACD and the Money Flow are still declining, while the Stochastics are still low/oversold. Under normal conditions their should be dip buying. (Some people are telling us that September is a weak month historically for the markets.) Currently, the longer-term trend higher is mostly intact. BUT.. we are just below the long-term trend support line on our 8-month chart. SPY 437.50 is a support level. SPY 425 is our strong support level. These levels could also be considered stop levels for some traders. * If you have any questions, opinions, or comments to add please do so! * IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS. * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * CHANGES: None. POSITIVES: The MACD is positive.We are above the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: Money Flow negative and in decline is a concern.Below the 20-day moving average.Sitting just under the 50-day moving average.Possible market top or trading range in the future?Thinking about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Politics, The FED, etc.?Some things out there to worry about still! Or a wall of worry to climb as the saying goes. OUTLOOK: Longer-term we are still bullish. The 8-month chart still shows a decent uptrend.However, the risk of drops or brief pullbacks still exist in the short term.Longer-term questions to ask: When will the Fed's easy money and the stimulus sugar run out?Will higher inflation cause the Fed to raise rates? Covid still hurting the economy?We still say "Use Caution" for a reason. Do not over risk yourself or over leverage yourself.We are still susceptible to large drops or dips.Look for trading opportunities that could result and have your trading lists ready. * Be careful if using MARGIN, be certain of your trades! *INDICATORS: The MACD is positive/declining. The Stochastics are low. The Money Flow is negative. MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (441.33)(+0.19) and the 200-day MA (406.63)(+0.40) The 8-month chart (below). We are above the 425 strong support level, Support at 437. The market is still trying to climb up in a long-term channel. STOCK PICKS: (For trades and/or investments.)
