09.16.2008 Recap

Today looks like a real reversal.  The VIX painted a reversal candle, new lows were off the charts, the SP 500 hit weekly resistance at the 50% fib level, and many other indicators were at tops.  This was accompanied by strong price action across the board and very high volume.  I managed to buy some SPY calls near the open of the day and expect that a target of 126 is probably reasonable.  However, risk management is always priority.

Interestingly enough, on the SPY 10-minute, two harmonic patterns formed (bullish crab and bullish Gartley).  You can see them on my StockCharts list.

I also like XLE for a short term trade maybe even up to the 200 MA.  It has formed what is called a "2B" pattern from Trader Vic.
