Hey guys,
I have compiled a 3 part long video that not only talks about the SPY to its full extent but also about 8 different charts and how we’re suppose to read into this type of market. This includes XLF, GS, VXX, SKF, AAPL, AMZN and the USO.

excellent analysis lda~ i wonder what online broker you use for online trading? i’m using scottrade but i’m thinking to switch to a lower fee broker. thanks again for the update. happy 4th.
I use etrade for options and stock executions and td amertirade for charting
Well done, as always.
I won’t be a big fan of shorting many tech stocks until the big dive from higher highs, but AAPL trades so well off traditional TA (usually) that it is an exception. Normally I’ll sell the financials on pops, and buy tech on drops, and mix in some VIX for good measure.
My view is the USO trade has the best potential gain on puts, but the highest risk. My kinda action!
Anyhow, thanks and enjoy your golfing days. Too bloody hot down here in Miami. Where are you?
I’m in silicon valley.. and boy is it hot here too..
im in Canada and its stinking hot. reminds me of the 2003 fire year. tanking stock markets, drought,,, hmmmmmmmmmmmm. tooo freaky
Too hot? Try a drive down Highway 1 to the Monterey Peninsula…Carmel, 17-Mile Drive (Pebble Beach) and Point Reyes National Seashore. Well worth your time!
Idan, great analysis as always, well done!
Any thoughts on UNG? Thanks in advance.
UNG already seems broken to me as it broke the 13.30 bottom level.. we might get a retrace to that level as resistance.. at that point I think it might be worth shorting..
Thank you.
I just compared ERY, the 3x energy stock bear ETF, to FAZ. ERY has started outperforming FAZ when both are rising. For instance, from 11 to 23 June, ERY rose from 16.06 to 24.81 (+54.5%), while FAZ’s rise was from 4.25 to 5.50 (+29.41%). Amazingly, ERY, while climbing faster, did not also fall faster, as one might expect. From 24.81, ERY dipped to 21.09 (-15.0%), but FAZ plunged from 5.50 to 4.52 (-17.8%). Another time, ERY was flat (21.21 to 21.20) while FAZ fell by -12.3% from 5.37 to 4.71. So instead of shorting such as UNG or USO, why not try ERY?
Horizons Betapro on the TSX has double short ETFs based on the commodities instead of sector indices of stocks.
HND.TO Horizons BetaPro NYMEX Natural Gas Bear Plus ETF
HOD.TO Horizons BetaPro NYMEX Crude Oil Bear Plus ETF
(The bullish counterparts are HNU.TO and HOU.TO.)
im playing it this way on NG… HNU.TO – but for now i’ll sit on the sidelines and wait for indicators to say go long as it is in the process of making new lows.
Yeah, that ERY chart also doesn’t look buyable right now, ERX would be the better buy, but the price could get better — the 60-min RSI and MACD need to look more bottomish, and the lower 60-min Bollinger Band needs to be violated:

The hourly chart of HNU.TO looks pretty bottomish after the benefit of the extra trading day on TSX, but before jumping in, it might be good to inspect very similar patterns on June 22. That’s why this chart has EMA(9), which usually must change from resistance to support for a decent rise to be under way:

Hi Idan,
Thanks so much for your analysis. I was going over the training videos for TA that you put up in April and they were great. I was wondering if you will have a continuing series with more advanced features.
Thanks in Advance
Idan,
Great call on AMZN. Thanks for the videos. Have a great 4th.
Hey Idan,
Thanks for the extra long video, great analysis. Do you have any thoughts on which would be a better trade SKF or SDS? I know the financials lead the market, but we know they will keep getting bailed out, where as the government can’t bail out the whole S&P500. Both charts look good and are at or near there 50 MA
Thanks Idan,
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SKF:SDS
This free chart of the ratio of SKF to SDS shows that SKF moves faster in both directions than SDS, so if stocks rise, SKF is the one to own if limited to that pair. If stocks fall, it is best to own neither of them.
Of course, a number of 3x bear ETFs (as well as 2x SRS) move faster than either SKF or SDS:

Well,
The bailouts will come only later once the stock market is sort of in a free fall….. but until then i feel like the SKF will outeperform the SDS quite signficanty. The S&P has some of the strong tech, the SKF doesn’t.
Thanks Idan, the techs are something I didn’t consider.
Idan,
Thanks for the great videos. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the SRS? I read Unersaetthlich’s analysis (great job) and it looks pretty bearish for the IYR, You think its better to play the trade through long IYR puts or going long SRS etf. Thanks.
I own a small position in SRS myself… but both sound great.. as long as you take profits on your put IYR options every time we hit some strong support, and then pile them back in on strong resistance.
———- IDAN ———- after much thought about the markets and swining into OPEX and how many HS patterns play out. this scenario to screw everyone up is very likely. especially since the HS pattern is VERY OBVIOUS to all. the market loves obvious price patterns.
1. fake out below the neckline and hang out below for a bit — 2 days down — 2 days hold
2. re capture the neckline and close above it toward your red line for close of OPEX 7/17
3. break below the neckline following 7/17 and complete the HS target of around 850
here is a great chart of a HS fake out – head test – nasty breakdown:
