HCPG Blog: Resistance Shorts are all the Fad

Thursday, August 25, 2011

The theme of the day was the reversal of the 20SMA on daily . Let’s take a look:

Crude ($CL_F) reversed on the 20SMA

$ES_F and $SPY reversed on the 20SMA ($SPY 119 short was our game plan spot)

$IYR reversed on the 20SMA (another HCPG pick resistance short from our newsletter last night)

And the freebie we put out yesterday on the stream $LNKD 73.2 short which set up great at 74 today for a nice smooth ride to 70.

Range bound strategies rule right now — we’ll see if that changes post Jackson hole.
