As of 3:31 PM ET June 22, 2021:
- Short-term $SPX, SPY. /ES traders: consider taking profits here with Hourly RSI readings north of 67. $SPX 4250+ / SPY $423.20 + / /ESU21 4240+. Sell into the strength heading into the close. It’s been a large move very quickly from the 50 day moving average level that we were monitoring so closely.
Below are the markets we are currently following, in case you missed our email earlier. Please see today’s June 22nd publication.
To sum up the current viewpoint and opinion:
I have BUY opinions for:
- iShares Trust Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) for an index reconstitution trade. At this time, I would be looking to be long and then exiting upon the actual reconstituted index going into place on June 28, 2021. Buy the rumor, sell the fact type of trade. Buy Pullbacks. For equity-bearish folks, see the IWM/SPY spread idea in the May 27th publication. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance. Update 06/22: this one is approaching our exit date of June 28th.
- Defiance Quantum ETF (QTUM) between $44.00 - $49.50. Update 06/17: QTUM closed at $49.08 on Wednesday. In case you missed this one, I think there is still time to get on board and will raise the buy idea zone to $44.00 - $49.50. It looks like it wants to break out of its range soon, but could find some sellers at the psychologically important $50 level. Update 06/22: I think there is still time to get on board here under $48.50 if AI and automation appeals to you. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
- Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK) between the 200-day moving average and $40.00 200-Day Moving Average is currently $39.70 (06/17). BLOK has a history of high volatility, so proceed with caution. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance. Update 06/17: Patience still. I want to jump on board, but prefer to see how Bitcoin negotiates the $40,000 level. Wait for $40.00 to the 200-Day moving average. It could happen soon. Monitoring. Update 06/22: Crypto has been getting crushed hard yesterday and overnight. I am sticking to my guns and waiting for the 200-day moving average (currently $40.01). Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
- Invesco MSCI Sustainable Future ETF (ERTH) between $67.76 - $70.82. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance. Update 06/17: ERTH closed in the green @ $75.74 on Wednesday bucking the overall market trend on FOMC day. This is a great sign. Hold longs. Chugging along. If you missed this one, let’s see if we can get a pullback to the 50-day moving average, which currently sits at $74.00. (This happened on Wednesday briefly, I hope you caught it if you are not on board yet!) I am liking this one more and more for a long-term holding and will be willing to hold through short-term pullbacks at this time. Update 06/22: Important note on ERTH: This one had me scratching my head on the open yesterday and then I quickly discovered that there had been a $9.95 dividend issued. You can read about the dividend on Invesco’s website here. Call your broker if you have any questions about how the dividend was applied to your account. This dividend was abnormally high for ERTH based on the past. Since $9.95 came out of the stock price in the form of a dividend, we must adjust our pricing outlook by $9.95. I like this name for the longer-term around $65-$65.80 (dividend adjust price) at this time. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
- Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust - S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value ETF (RZV) at the 50-day moving average. Patience and wait for the pullback. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance. Update 06/17: RZV 50-day MA is 92.67 as of the close Wednesday. Monitoring. This one bucked the downtrend on Wednesday too and finished higher. Update 06/22: This one touched the 50-day MA on Friday (we were waiting for that!) and tacked on 2.51% in yesterday’s session. If you didn’t catch the big pullback, look to enter on any pullback from $93 - $94.90. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
- iShares Global Timber & Forestry ETF (WOOD) Initial buy idea zone between $79.07 and the 200-day moving average ($79.82 as of 06/16 close). Update 06/16: Given the price action in the lumber futures described in today’s alert, consider an entry into ½ of a normal position size between $86.50 - $87.50. Should it pull back further, we can look to add another ½ position size. Update 06/17: WOOD provided the entry opportunity levels that we were looking for on Wednesday and even finished higher on the day. What a great sign. Look to be long on this underappreciated ETF. Update 06/21: WOOD traded through our first tranche level between $86.50 and $87.50. It closed Friday @ $84.15. I am looking at the above-mentioned price levels between $79.16 and $79.82 - $80.00 for the second tranche. See Above. Update 06/22: Wood tacked on 2.33% yesterday. Hold longs and look to add between $79.16 - $80.00. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
- Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) between the 50-day moving average ($80.32 as of June 14th) and $81.50. Look for an intraday pullback for entry. Update 06/16: We wanted a pullback, and we got a big one on Tuesday, with the range being $78.00 - $80.69. Ideally, this was taken advantage of on this pre-Fed meeting day. There could have been some “sell the news” price action with the SEIA report being released yesterday. Although we are below the 50-day MA, I like the previous consolidation and would look to be long at these levels. Update 06/17: TAN tacked on 1.51% in Wednesday’s overall down session. Great sign. I like this one and I think there is still time to get on board. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance. Update 06/21: We really nailed this entry and I am looking for continued upside. I think there is still time to get on board - look for pullbacks near the $81.00 level. I like this for a longer-term holding with price appreciation potential north of $100.00. Update 06/22: I think there is still time to get on board: look for pullbacks approaching the 50-day SMA of $79.75 - $81.00 for long entries. I like this one for a longer term move above $100.00. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
- First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure Index Fund (GRID). GRID has traded through our idea range of between $86.91 and $88.17. Update 06/17: GRID closed at $91.50 yesterday, moving lower on the overall down day. I see no major technical damage and like this one over the longer run. Opinion: hold existing longs and.or look for entries on pullbacks. Update 06/22: Another one that briefly touched the 50-day SMA. Did you get it? If not I like it anywhere below $91 - look to enter on pullbacks. I am looking for $100 level or maybe higher in the longer-term. Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
I have SELL opinions for:
NONE
I have a HOLD opinion for:
- SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) between $412.26-$413.10 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement level) and the 50-day moving average ($416.90 as of the close on June 15th). Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance. Update 06/17: Be alert SPY traders, you may get your chance this week. Update 06/22: the 50-day SMA came and went quickly. Hopeful you got it Friday or Yesterday! Right now, holding longs seems prudent with a target of $425 or a 70 Daily RSI (whichever comes first) Always use a stop loss level that caters to your individual risk tolerance.
Have a great evening!
Thank you,
