Here are 5 charts I am currently watching. Have a great trading day.

1. AAPL

 

  • Has been more or less range bound for 3 months
  • The Bollinger Band Width is near the lowest it has been in the last 6 months
  • AAPL is in the middle of the Bollinger Bands
  • I’m watching for a breakout either way.

AAPL

2. SPXA200R

 

  • The percentage of S&P 500 stocks above their 200 Day Moving Average continues to flounder as the major indices struggle at the highs.
  • Making successively lower highs
  • Currently well below the peak set in December

3. BKLN

 

  • Showing RSI divergence at the highs.
  • I’m watching this to see if it rolls over or breaks to new highs. Stocks could follow the lead.

4. Yield Curve

 

  • Negative yield curves are typically seen as a precursor to recession.
  • No sign of a negative yield curve here

5. Junk Bonds

 

  • Corporate defaults are another item that can cause the economy to falter.
  • Right now, junk bonds look pretty strong

    Hi Gavin I would like to thank you for all your very good blog posts. I really learn a lot and could also benefit from some of your teachings. My favorite is selling a short strangle when Bollinger Band Width is at a multi week high. That were some of my biggest winners. Thank you keep up the good work. Andreas (Germany)
