Markets are primed to pullback from this amazing run up . The SPY pretty much went straight up for almost 4 weeks. It’s having difficulty breaking the $100 mark and down volume is picking up the last 3 days. Time to go short with the SDS.

Same with the QQQQ, it’s ready to pullback having tested the $40 price point and now should go down to test $37. I entered into the QID today.

The broad market went up and closed down on higher volume which means distribution. The SPY looks like a good short or buy the SDS. In yesterday’s post I mentioned I went long the FAZ and ERY which are 3x short financials and 3x short energy. The chart below shows the confirmation of selling on higher volume today in the XLF. Now let’s see if we get volume at the swing low (I circled in red) at $11.10 on more than 193 million shares then were heading down to $10 range for support.

I also liked the action of the Russell 1000 (IWB)  instead of the Russell 2000 (IWM). The chart below shows high volume selling today. Price went above yesterday’s high and close below is on high volume - downtown we go. I will enter into the BGZ in the morning which is the 3x bear of the Russell 1000.

The SPY went up on light volume today and closed below yesterday. Price went into the May 7th big volume down day and 317 million versus 205 million. There is no buying volume. Market is coming down.

XLE (Energy ETF) also confirmed that we are coming down. Price went into Feb 10 massive down day with 56 million and we went up today on 16 million. Which way is the buying pressure? Heading down. I entered DUG (2x Short Entergy) and ERY (3x Short Energy) today.

Dug should test $22. ERY should head up to $35.

Also financial look very weak and I entered into FAZ which should head up to $10.

Overall market still wants to pullback I think we will continue into option expiration tomorrow. See the QQQQ chart below which shows accelerated down volume yesterday - wants to go lower to next support. I’m still in short ETFs like QID, TZA, TWM.

I went short EDU, BIDU and ACM this morning.

What a great run up in the overall market making big gains but the QQQQ which was the strongest index is showing weakness. The chart below shows big profit taking last Thursday with 216 million versus 183 million up on Friday. Which way is the price going? Down. I think we are going to pull back starting Tuesday and the QQQQ will retest $30-31. I am in the QID which is the 2x Short the QQQQ.

Also look at the XLK (Tech Spider)which showed huge selling pressure on Thursday. This wants to retest $14-15.

The broad market in the SPY also showed weakness but it was heald up buy the finacials and energy sectors. The QQQQ is the weakest sector.

As I posted today on Twitter I sold WYNN, ESLR and LVS and bought DXD and TZA. I took profits and put them in to some 2x short ETFs.

Below is the SPY which shows the pullback today on slightly higher volume than Friday. We should pull back into 81-82 and if the volume is around 250 million than I would buy long. For now I am short the market.

Below is DXD (2x Short the DIA) which I got in at $54.25. First target is $59-61.

The overall market is pulling back on lighter volume which is to be expected in a bull market. We are seeing lower prices but no selling pressure just some profit taking. What do you expect from going up almost straight in 30 days?

On Friday I bought VGZ which I got stopped out today (gold dropped big time) and also bought GNK at $13.13 and today it showed nice price action not even breaking the Friday low. I expect this to go up to test $20-22. I still own another psycho shipping stock DRYS

.

The SPX, DOW and NASDAQ are looking strong and wanting to run up to the highs in early January this year - not in one day but over the next few weeks I suspect. I would like to see a pullback early next week then enter in again with another position. SSO would be a nice buy around $20-21.

I’m still in DRYS, UWM, DBC, ANO, URE, FEED for all nice gains. Got stopped out of C and FAS the other day.

Going long with DBC. Nice pullback yesterday with strong follow through volume and price today. First target is $23 with stop under today’s low.
