SPY Charts and some Technical Analysis Today's Economic Calendar - The Charts - Opinion - Stock Picks. Today's Economic Calendar: 8:30 AM ET, The initial weekly unemployment claims report will be released. The consensus is for 315 thousand initial claims, down from 326 thousand last week.8:30 AM, The Producer Price Index for September from the BLS. The consensus is for a 0.6% increase in PPI, and a 0.5% increase in core PPI. THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a guide, do other research as well.) BRIEFING/OPINIONS: The markets had a good day to me on Wednesday. The Dow was flat, but the Nasdaq had a nice gain. The Fed news and other corporate news was not all that positive, BUT the market shrugged that off. This is a bullish sign that the downside momentum, if any, has come to an end. We think the next move will be up. Technically the market is still looking a bit weak. On our chart indicators, we had no changes. Gut feeling says we are about to improve on some of the indicators. A sideways range bound market may be the next pattern to develop. Currently we have SPY 430 to 440 as a possible trading range. 430 did manage to hold the floor. SPY 425 has been our strong support level and we expect this to hold. This level could also be considered a stop area for some traders if it does not hold. * 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: We are above the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: We are below the 20-day moving average.We are below the 50-day moving average.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: We could see a sideways range bound type of market for a while.Risk of drops or pullbacks exist. Increased periods of volatility are a possibility as the markets try to figure things out.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 negative. The Stochastics are neutral. The Money Flow is negative. MA +/- (slope): The 50-day MA (441.64)(-0.09) and the 200-day MA (413.10)(+0.34) The 8-month chart (below). We are above the 425 strong support level, but our previous support lines were broken. Next step is to see if a new trend emerges or what type of trading range develops in the near term. STOCK PICKS: (For trades and/or investments.) Current trading favorites: AUPH - Aurinia Pharma (Doing very well lately!), CARA - Cara Therapeutics, EPZM - Epizyme, EXEL - Exelixis (A bargain here), HZNP - Horizon Therapeutics (A big winner for us last year), IOVA - Iovance, KPTI - Karyopharm (Accumulate under $10), SGMO - Sangamo, TGTX - TG Therapeutics (Our Top Pick!), TRIL - Trillium Therapeutics (Got bought out by Pfizer for a huge gain!).Tech Picks: CRWD - CrowdStrike (Be aware it has a high valuation), DT Dynatrace (Good longer-term hold).Also watching: IMGN, VKTX. ** TGTX is a great buy at current levels.
