Market Summary

MARKET MOOD: Yellow

The summary below is my interpretation of the data in the ‘Market Mood Log’ above:

  • Indexes Begin Digesting The Recent Move: It almost feels as though the market is in ‘stop and go’ traffic. It pulled back last week across the board and is sitting on short term support levels. In pulling back in this way, it created what I’ll call a ‘digestion zone’ where since the market made a big move off the lows, it is in a position to digest the move. If it holds above last week’s lows (coincidentally right around the 50sma across the board) and stays below last week’s highs, it will give proper bases a chance to form.
  • New Highs walking a tight rope: The New Highs are barely outpacing New Lows, sometimes by a margin of only 3. This means that the market can easily shift back to a ‘red’ condition and is one of the reasons why it feels like ‘stop and go traffic’.
  • Distribution continues to fall: Both the S&P 500 and the Dow picked up a distribution day on Thursday. This is the first either have had in about a week or so. Given the rally the market has had, a single distribution day like this is to be expected. If, however, distribution begins to pick back up again, it may become problematic.
  • There are 29 stocks total on the trade ideas list. A relatively thin list. No ‘A’ level trades but a few solid ‘B’ level trades. The healthcare and real estate sectors are looking interesting here with multiple setups in each. 2 of interest to me are MOH and EXR presently.
  • Open Trades: I have 1 open swing trades in AQUA. I exited most positions last week with only 1 win, 3 losses, and one breakeven. However, even with only one win, I was still 1R positive. This was achieved by letting winners run and keeping losses ultra small.

HOW I’M PLAYING THIS HAND: I’m continuing to hold AQUA which broke out on heavy volume last week and is closing in on my 1st scale out at +1R. I’ve placed orders for MOH and EXR, both are ‘B’ level trades that scored above 7 on the gauntlet.

DISCLAIMER: Futures, stocks, and options trading involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of futures, stocks, and options may fluctuate, and, as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses, or can work for you, leading to large gains.
If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account. You are responsible for all the risks and financial resources you use and for the chosen trading system. You should not engage in trading unless you fully understand the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to loss. If you do not fully understand these risks you must seek independent advice from your financial advisor.
All trading strategies are used at your own risk.
Any content on marawealth.com should not be relied upon as advice or construed as providing recommendations of any kind. It is your responsibility to confirm and decide which trades to make. Trade only with risk capital; that is, trade with money that, if lost, will not adversely impact your lifestyle and your ability to meet your financial obligations. Past results are no indication of future performance. In no event should the content of this correspondence be construed as an express or implied promise or guarantee.
marawealth.com or Mara Wealth LLC. is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of using any of our trading strategies. Loss-limiting strategies such as stop-loss orders may not be effective because market conditions or technological issues may make it impossible to execute such orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of options and/or futures positions such as “spread” or “straddle” trades may be just as risky as simple long and short positions.
