Not a Pretty Day for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The stock market indices certainly suffered a downside, follow-through today, and a sharp one. The indices plunged early on and kept on going. At midmorning they reached an important low near 4180 Nasdaq 100 and 1991 S&P 500. They traveled into midday, came back in the afternoon, retested the lows, held it, and in the last half hour they bounced a pretty significant one, but I’m not sure what that means. The bottom line is they closed sharply lower.

Stock Market SPY Kiss of Death ? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Everyone wants to now what that market is going to do next. Most technicians I talk to are Bullish and that makes me nervous.
But not really, since I have had these dates for a while using my own proprietary cycle analysis.
It plain old sucks being on the wrong side of the trade, that is for sure.

Tomorrow may tell us what kind of Stock Market Decline we Face / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Let’s put this decline into perspective for a minute. The 2113.32 high is the equivalent of the December 29 high at 2081.56. In the first two days of that decline (12-29 to 31-2015) SPX declined to 2043.62, a 37.94 point drop. Today we have completed the second day of the decline from 2113.32 and have travelled 121.60 points, 3.2 times the distance of the December-January decline. Wave [iii] of C in January declined by 269.27 points. Do the math. This is huge.

Stock Market 200-Day Goes Away...Bears Get The Follow-Through Day / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The bears have watched the exponential moving averages hold all pullbacks since the February lows of this year. No matter which moving average was on top, and which was on the bottom, the bottom moving average held each and every pullback, if it got that far. Most pullbacks contained by the first, and at the most, the second moving average off the top. Things got so bullish that the moving averages were aligned bullish as well with the 20's on the top, the 50's in the middle and the 200's on the bottom. Several weeks back the bears did attempt a move to that last moving average, or the 200-day, but it held very easily. We made our second attempt on the S&P 500 today, and it was lights out. The bulls didn't even put up a fight.

Brexit Psyop: Greenspan Falsely Blames the Brits for the Crash and Chaos to Follow / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
This Jubilee Year is advancing just as I have predicted, with all the major elements of a worldwide catastrophe now in place.
On Monday, the markets continued to collapse, with every major European stock market down 2-3% and the Dow currently down 300 points following Black Friday which, we now know, was the worst sell-off in worldwide stock markets in history, losing a combined $2 trillion.
The previous largest sell-off in history occurred 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 7 days prior, on the Shemitah end day of September 29, 2008, when $1.9 trillion was erased in one day.

BREXIT “Yes”, Now What for Stocks and Gold? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
I was one of the few last week who said the stock market would fall on Friday. It has also fallen farther than even I expected. So what’s next? The chart below shows a counter trend rally likely on Tuesday, perhaps back to 2049/50 SPX and then one more drop into June 30 to around 1926/27, for about a 9% total decline.
The whole pattern is bullish, once resolved. So now, when everyone is getting bearish, I’m starting to get bullish, but like I said, not just yet. I still see new highs by early Autumn of 2016 and then a late Fall decline of about 22%.

Stock Market SPX Below Mid-Cycle Support / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The SPX Premarket fell beneath mid-Cycle support/resistance this morning at 2026.59. As I write, it has bounced to retest the resistance. It appears likely that it may hold.
ZeroHedge reports, “US equity futures are tumbling at the open following Cable and USDJPY's dive. Dow futures dropped 100 points (down 900 points from pre-Brexit highs) and broke below Friday's early crash lows...”

Stock Market: Thirteen Months Down, And Now... Brexit / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
I prepared this article on the 13th month anniversary of the last S & P 500 all time high... the market has been down for over a year, but MCIM portfolios continue to grow in both working capital and realized base income. Income CEFs continue to rally.
I'm confident, regardless of where "Brexit" takes us in the financial markets, that the scenario Friday, and any continued downturn, will prove to be yet another investment opportunity that we will be able to take advantage of.

Weekly Nasdaq NDX Chart / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Here is a basic chart of Nasdaq-100 ticket symbol NDX showing a few different techniques used. This shows about 5% of what I use in determining my decisions trading the market.
First you may notice the down channel trendlines with 2 consolidation periods. We are currently breaking out of the second one.
Breaking out from a large ascending wedge, and consolidation channel shown on the chart. Looks very similar to the last one. Take notice of the violated trendline on the wedge with a backtest in both.

The Stock Market is Not Topping / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Stocks may move down into an intermediate cycle low over the next 15 trading days. If they do we will again hear the perma bears calling a new bear market. They will be wrong again as they continue to be wrong over and over.
The S&P has tested the 2100 level 9 times. There is no such thing as nonuple top. Heck there’s really no such thing as a triple top. When a resistance zone gets tested this many times it’s a consolidation before a breakout, not a top.

Stocks Bear Market Resumes or Just More Noise / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The market started this volatile week at SPX 2071. After a gap up opening on Monday to SPX 2101 the market pulled back until Wednesday when it hit SPX 2084. Another gap up opening on Thursday carried the market to SPX 2113. Then Brexit was confirmed and markets worldwide plunged on Friday. For the week the SPX/DOW were -1.6%, and the NDX/NAZ were -2.0%. Economic reports were biased negative for the first time in quite a while. On the downtick: new home sales, durable goods, consumer sentiment and the Q2 GDP estimate. On the uptick: FHFA housing, existing home sales and weekly jobless claims declined. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by Q1 GDP, PCE prices and the Chicago PMI.

Financial Markets Roiled as Britain Votes Itself Out of EU / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Britain has voted to exit the European Union and its prime minister has resigned in the wake of the Brexit vote. The markets have, so far, reflected the world's uneasy reaction to the event. But it is early days, says newsletter writer and technical analyst Clive Maund, who offers his views on the day after Brexit.

Brexit Surprise.....Will Others Follow Britain?....Still Nothing Bearish Yet... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
If you looked at the action yesterday one would have thought that Britain staying was a slam dunk. Poll after poll showed a tight race, but all of them had them staying. The market was smelling this out, and, thus, the strong action the market displayed yesterday. Funds were running to the buy button as they were afraid to miss the breakout over 2134 on the S&P 500. The market closed just one percent below that magical level that had the bulls frothing. Breadth was strong yesterday as well. Buying across the board, especially those financial stocks that were bound to explode once the vote for staying in the euro zone was completed. Sadly, and as usual, the masses were wrong. Why this reality occurs over and over again with regards to the stock market is a mystery, but the masses were clearly wrong once again.

E-Wave Says BIG Down in Stock Market June 24th / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The chart below of the S&P 500 suggests a move down to around 2041/42 early Friday, June 24 or about 3% down from today’s high near 2107. The e-wave astro/cycle pattern also suggests a strong move back up into Tuesday, June 28 to perhaps as high as 2121/22. By July 5th, a move into the low 1900’s is possible.
Everybody is focusing on the BREXIT, so the outcome, whatever it will be, will likely be the blame for the coming volatility. We shall soon find out. It is 12:30 CDT as I write this. I still see new highs by October 3rd.

Stock Market Waiting for the Reversal / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
SPX has made a measured move, so far. The rally from the 2050.37 low has taken 34 hours. Another .4 hours would make it divisible by 4.3. you can see that the volume is low, so there is little participation or short covering.

Stock Market Fluctuates on Concerns Ahead of Brexit / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The stock market indices had a very volatile session, first starting off with a little bit of a dip, then a strong rally to test Monday’s highs, and when they were unable to take those out they came down in a strong midday decline, but snapped back early afternoon. However, that failed to take hold, but it was just a retest. The indices then had a 5-wave decline into the close, finishing near the session lows, just bouncing right off them into the close.

Late Morning Brexit Poll Kills Earlier Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
It is normal for markets to drift higher ahead of an important news event. Hope trumps fear most of the time in this crazy game. I think it's about most folks thinking the worst case scenario won't happen. That intervention will take over right at the end and keep things status quo. It seems impossible in the minds of the masses that something terrible can actually occur since the world banks, etc are always doing something to make sure nothing all that bad takes place.

Stock Market Just Before the BrExit Vote / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Though the conversation surrounding the outcome of the EU referendum continues to heat-up, during the last 36 hours, the market has already decided on which side is going to win.
Two key defensive elements, in particular, are pulling back as the final count down unfolds.
The Volatility Index or VIX, after a brief surge in early June, has backed-off and dropped into a more moderate risk level.
