Broader Market Remains Rangebound + [Trade Alert]

October 4, 2016 by Don Roth

Again, this week I waited a couple of days to write hoping for some directional clues in the market…

Nothing.

As I mentioned last week, price is stuck in a range and might stay there until the election. See SPY chart (below).

If you remember we shorted GLD in July after price tagged resistance. Hopefully, you participated, because GLD made a big move today; down 3.47%.

This brings our profit from July to 5.5%.

Price is approaching support, the orange line. I will be monitoring price action around this area.

Trade Opportunity…

The following is not for the feint of heart…

You can see the correction from late 2015; about 38%. Price is re-tagging support after bouncing mid 2016. Risk is below the trend line support. Looks like a good risk/reward opportunity.

Continue to hold open positions.

Trade smart,
