SYS Research – Daily Report – Thursday, August 31, 2023

SYS Daily Report

The stock market wrapped up with a mixed performance on Thursday as investors digested the inflation report. Shifting gears to Friday, Wall Street will turn its attention to the August job reports from the labor department.

In my approach to trading and investing, I stick to the motto of “expect the expected.” But it’s tough to know what to expect until you truly understand an expected outcome. Back when I was starting and learning about systematic trading, I had questions and concerns influenced by what I saw in the media. I went to a mentor seeking guidance. His response was pretty direct: “What? Are you an economist?” Then, he advised me to trust my system. Those words stuck with me.

The challenge was that, at that time, I didn’t have a system I could trust. That’s where things have changed. Now armed with a reliable process and a trading system that has a high likelihood of success, I can closely watch the market and respond smartly to what’s happening. This contrasts what we often see on business TV—people arguing about their opinions rather than what’s unfolding.

As I roll out the SetYourStop Research Report, I aim to guide you through the systematic trading process. The ultimate objective is to align everyone’s understanding, enabling them to recognize precisely what they should be seeking when assessing the daily setups. In line with the age-old adage, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll go hungry again tomorrow; teach him to catch a fish, and you’ll enrich him for a lifetime.”

After that long-winded introduction, some of you might be wondering where this is all heading. Well, the answer traces back to the chart I shared of the S&P 500 yesterday. I pointed out that the price action was trading beneath a horizontal resistance level, setting the stage for an expected outcome. And indeed, when you examine the chart below, you’ll notice that the horizontal resistance line precisely halted the price action. Once you have an expected outcome, it significantly aids decision-making when evaluating setups I share daily.

Now, the next step is to monitor how the market responds to the August job reports from the labor department, scheduled for tomorrow morning. At this moment, the chart presents a binary scenario. Either the price will surge above the horizontal resistance line, and the trend will resume, or ideally, the price will further consolidate above the moving averages. However, if the price action were to breach below the moving averages, it would invalidate any bullish outlook.
