SWING TRADING (SHORT TERM)Watchlist and Charts

4/20/2025 Markets were mostly lower for the week, as the Indices and Momentum stocks rallied up to the Red Zones (probably too late to Buy for the Short Term). The S&P 500 now needs a W pattern or Double Bottom on the DAILY chart to be Bullish. Most of the Buying on the recent lows was Short Sellers buying to take profits, and Bottom Fishers. Smart Money waits for a Double Bottom or higher low to Tell Us that Sellers have dried up.
The FEAR Index $VIX is back down in the Green Zone and should Pop up this week. The Media still has many investors concerned that a slowdown is coming. But the Weekly indicators and high FEAR levels say that there there is a high probability of a larger bounce up soon after a W pattern or higher low.
Many are very frustrated now as it has been harder to make money lately. Remember that investing requires Discipline to wait out these emotional FEAR Flushes, and that the Strongest Leaders will normally go back up to retest their recent highs. This has been a larger than normal correction to take the FOMO out of the Markets.
Alert! Market Risk is Low (GREEN). The probability of successful Short Term Trades is better, when the % of stocks above the 50-day avg. is below 20 (LIKE NOW).
We Buy the strongest Leaders that make new highs, on pull-backs. So follow the Green Line System and you should continue to win more than you lose. SEE WATCH LIST
With the Green Line System, your Money should flow into the Strongest areas and your Account value should be able to grow in both Bull and Bear Markets. Follow the MONEY, not the MEDIA.

QUESTION: Jose M writes “Morning, I seem to have difficulties on finding the Money Wave chart on the ETFs. Thanks.”
ANSWER: The Charts and Money Waves can be pulled up by clicking on the Symbol of the Investment on the Watch List or Current Positions links in every Daily email.
The Money Wave is the Red and Green Zone on the bottom part of the Chart. Buy when the Money Wave has gone down into the Green Zone, and then turns up above 20.
