Stocks are Gapping Beneath the Trendline Support

Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018 Mar 22, 2018 - 02:09 PM GMT

SPX futures appear to be gapping down beneath the trendline at 2700.00. This may be yet another big down day.

ZeroHedge reports, “Yesterday, we showed that according to Wall Street, the biggest tail risk facing investors right now is a "trade war"...

... and that should trade tensions escalate, lower stock prices would be the immediate result (and that managers would sell stocks in advance).


Well so far this morning, they are being proven right (or simply selling), because a jittery overnight session for stock futures which saw the S&P close at session lows after yesterday's Fed rate hike (due to the "snowstorm" according to a dead serious Marko Kolanovic), turned increasingly volatile just before dawn in New York, as investors prepared for today's China trade war announcement from President Trump that could levy tariffs on more than 100 types of Chinese goods, and is due just after noon ET.”


NDX futures have crossed the Rubicon as the morning session has collapsed 100 points.

ZeroHedge reports, “Facebook advertisers have threatened to abandon the platform in the wake of a massive data harvesting scandal which began after it was revealed that an app created by two psychologists - one of whom Facebook employs - gathered data on over 50 million Americans and then sold it to political data firm Cambridge Analytics and several others, who used it without consent.

Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of the social media giant gave several interviews Wednesday after spending three days in hiding, ostensibly with a crisis management team which advised him not give wholly unsatisfactory answers to one of the largest data breaches in history.“

VIX futures are pressing the 20 handle as awareness of “all is not well” emerges. We may see the Cycle Top surpassed in this session.

TNX appears to have reversed from its high this morning, as indicated yesterday. The Cycles Model suggests about two weeks of decline that may go as far as the Head & Shoulders neckline.

Bloomberg observes, “Several developments last week indicated that the recent panic in the market for U.S. Treasury bonds was a false alarm. The increase in average hourly earnings has slowed appreciably, reducing the risk of aggressive monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve. Inflation moderated from levels recorded at the beginning of the year. Retail sales dropped for a third month, belying expectations of an increase. Finally, data released March 16 showed that February housing starts fell more than expected, providing another indication of slower economic growth.”

USD futures fell to 89.00 in the overnight session, then have recovered since then. This may also be the reversal that I have anticipated over the past two weeks. Should stocks go down in a panic, the USD may have no trouble at all rising to the Cycle Top resistnce at 96.30.

Tony
