Swing Trader Pro: Morning Briefing (10-12-2022)

October 12, 2022

From the Desk of Kimmy Sokoloff

Volatility reigns, and it surely proved itself yesterday with the massive drop in the indices starting around 2:45 p.m. ET.

To me, the S&P 500 would have to get above and stay above 3,667 and the $SPY above 365.50 for this market to trend higher.

Otherwise we can continue lower. SPY support is at 360, then 358. Resistance is at 364.

Here's what I'm looking at right now:

  • I'm watching $MU for a break above 55 for a potential move to 56.2 then 57.

  • And I'm watching $MRNA, which I spoke about on Monday live in the trading room, above 125 for a move to 126.70, then 127.60.

This market is very skittish, and you need to be prepared for the unexpected and ready to react.

I'll see you in the live trading room at the open.

Here are a couple of key things to remember about what we're doing here.

First, it's important to be in the live chat. As you know, the market has been extremely volatile, and we'll likely continue to see many ups and downs.

What that means practically is that I'll update not just price levels but even particular names we're watching as the market moves.

Second, please understand that the focus of our discussions is simply my opinion.

Your results will vary based on many factors and variables including execution, timing, and market conditions. All of these issues are completely out of my control -- and yours as well.

Our mutual goal is to win more than we will lose and that, by adding some of my strategies, we'll help you boost your overall success.

Remember, the market is on its own schedule and subject to change without notice.

We've had many questions about position and allocation sizes. I will never advise you regarding the amount of risk or portion of your assets you should invest.

All trades are at your own risk and can be discussed with your personal financial advisor at any time should you feel necessary.

Thank you for joining us, and I look forward to working with all of you!

And please each out with any questions.

We'll see you LIVE on the ASC Rangefinder app to start the trading day.
