DIA trade ideas

Bull-Bear Transition Year 2000Nasdaq (Nasdaq-100 ETF: QQQ) was a strong leader prior to topping out on March 9, 2000. This is very similar to today’s market with about 100% gains from February 2020 to February 2021 Dow (ETF: DIA) and S&P (ETF: SPY) lagged behind Nasdaq during the Nasdaq rally When Nasdaq reversed from the top to its first stage, Dow and S&P were still near the record-high area. Three-day rebound (04/05/2000-04/07/2000), which mapped to today’s condition, was to prepare the next sell-off wave Then, it was another 5-day strong selling (04/10/2000-04/14/2000). Notice Dow and S&P performed well during that time. It made sense to see money rotation from red-hot technology or bubble to safer stocks like financial, industrial, energy, material. Does it sound similar when you compare Tesla (TSLA) with JP-Morgan (JPM) today? The rest story is straightforward to see bull gave its position to bears in the next 12-15 months that Nasdaq lost -80% and Dow was down -40%.

DIA short into strengthWhile the tech sector is getting crushed right now, most financials, industrials, cyclicals, and value stocks which comprise over half of the Dow Jones Index are doing well. However, if you are looking to add some negative delta to your portfolio, you could short into strength. DJI/DIA could still rally up, but the downwards market pressure is getting stronger, so selling into strength might be ideal as the concentration of buyers towards the ATH will trigger stop losses at a high velocity. The probability of a rapid rally on DJI should be slim, but a rapid pulldown is feasible at the current levels.

DIA swing PUTs - insane bounce brings price up to resistance Look at the 60m chart and see the straight up price move in DIA. This kind of price action on an index ETF ??? The white line connects closing prices. I am buying swing puts now, with price between 321-322. My stop is over 322.10 to start. Give this time to reverse and if it does, you will have a fabulous reward to risk swing trade. One caution I see on the RSI-14 is that we have a double touch at 50 and today's higher price signals a long trade. However the more I look at the 60m chart, combined with the stochastic bear warning (red rectangle), I like a put trade at least back to 315-314 if not lower. I am choosing 31Mar 310 strike for this trade. I will wait 1-2 days for reversal signs. If price keeps going over 322 my risk is 30-40 cents per contract, which is about 12-15%. I am looking for at least a 50% return when I sell these puts.

Swing Puts Now - divergence leads to rebound into resistanceAt the end of last week there was barely a bullish divergence on the hourly chart with 7-day RSI. Price closed lower by a penny while RSI was higher. The Dow's fast selloff quickly drew in buyers this morning. The blue line at 316.40 marks the resistance area. Last week's move down was strong enough that - combined with daily/weekly context - the index could see another wave of selling. I bought 19Mar 310 puts. My initial stop losses are >316.50 and >316.80. Today's open was a bullish reversal, so if my trade idea is wrong then we should move higher in the next two days and my risk is low. If resistance holds, then a bigger selloff begins. The chart shows a gap from 2 Feb that may fill.

🩸 🐖 "Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered"Hi guys after Friday rout there are new developments in stock market indicies. Last week price action on AMEX:DIA formed bearish reversal pattern buying climax above upper megaphone pattern line at the top of rising wedge. This rising wedge is 5th Elliot wave which is signaling trend will reverse soon. As you can notice in chart last week realized volume was relatively big and volume week ago last week was rather small. Thats the signs that bears taking control significantly in recent days. I expecting this week breakdown bellow megaphone upper line and begin forming corrective wave (a). If you like the idea, do not forget to support with a 👍 like and follow. Leave a comment that is helpful or encouraging. Let's master the markets together.

DIA/DJIA/YM - is the Dow ready to drop? Or just lagging?With the SP500, Nasdaq, and Russell each at all-time highs as of Friday's close, you would think the Dow would be right there with them; but it isn't. On its own, this doesn't necessarily foreshadow lower prices. However, as we add to the story there may be a little more going on with the Dow. Taken from the 2009 low around $65 (not coincidentally, the beginning of QE infinity from the Fed), we see a pretty clear trend channel (best seen on the 1W chart connecting Mar 09 low to Oct 2011 low, Aug 2015 lows, and Jan 2018 highs); within this channel, the Dow has been seemingly stalled out up at the top for around a month (even longer if you consider the belabored move after the blast off in all assets after the election in early Nov 2020). After a sharp move down a week ago (first week of Feb), we saw a strong move back up last week to reverse the selling. What stands out about this move is the lack of volume, the Dow popped last week on half the volume from the selling we witnessed the week before. Now, this certainly points to the ease of movement but it also suggests a lack of conviction. Breaking out to all-time highs on a lack of volume is not bullish; it isn't sustainable. This look is a lot more clear on the 1D chart, especially the narrow range bar printed on Friday. Not only was Friday's range the smallest of last week's move but it was also on the least amount of volume. Equally important, the Dow tried higher price and again failed to register a break and hold of the highs from 1/7 and 1/21 and closed near the lows of the day. All this being said, given the strength in seemingly every asset class amongst the backdrop of easy money and 0% interest rates (or negative rates), it is damn hard to short the Dow (or anything). But, there is definitely some weakness here that will undoubtedly show itself in the coming weeks. Looking for continued weakness here before establishing a position but its on the radar.

How Much More Can It Go DOW?I plotted some ranges and timeframes to get a better understanding how, in a worst-case scenario if history were to repeat itself exactly, when and how much we would tumble and fall. Firstly, it showed that we could potentially go up as high as 320ish before the waterfall. Secondly, the first drop, if like the March waterfall, could hit as low as 253ish. Obviously history is unlikely to repeat itself exactly, but this seems like a very plausible outcome to me. Perhaps the fall will not be as large because it is more expected this time, but I do think we, as humans, run in cycles. And like a washing machine running a load, our buzzer is going to go off. -FIB

Out of the Realm of Possibility DOWApparently standard deviation means nothing to the markets right now. Even 99.5% probability has .5% of possibility in it. We are well out of the range of normal, whatever that means, as I attempt to illustrate in this linear regression model. Perhaps we have another month before the disaster, but based on the significantly larger increase in price than the preceding dive in March, timing may be sooner as a function of it being relative to magnitude. Only time will tell.
