Forecast Summary WTI, EURUSD, USDJPY / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Ken_Ticehurst
WTI now appears to be forming a top, it would appear as though the dead cat bounce is running out of steam and we should see the push for lower lows over the next couple of months.
We expect to see some increased volatility and could even see $50+ over the coming weeks.

North Korea Rocks Wall Street / Stock-Markets / Investing 2016
By: ....
U.S. stocks are falling like crazy in the aftermath of the latest of North Korean nuclear tests, sending traders into the state of frenzy. It even seems to have nudged Fed officials towards an interest rate increase, albeit only a little. It appears there is no shortage of market capital news this week.

Gold, Stock Market Down: Now What? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last I wrote, I was expecting a stock market top early in the week with the late week dropping. We had gone short on Thursday, but late screwy wave action had me pull out to neutral (to my chagrin). I had been looking for a 10 week low within this general time frame and I believe we are there. A move down to challenge the SPX 1994-2100 area would not surprise me on Monday. This should be a great buying area for one more move to new highs by early October at the latest before we see the expected autumn swoon.

A Little Perspective and Stock & Bond Market Notes / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
The opening segment of this week’s Notes From the Rabbit Hole (NFTRH 412) was intended to be a quick blurb but went on to become a five page exercise. It is shared publicly not so much because it is hard core analysis (which the rest of the report took care of), but because after a week like last week I think being a little wordy can be for the better.
I had a difficult week last week; a couple things had gone wrong and my schedule was just ridiculous. On Wednesday I was feeling pretty stressed out and wondering why I just can’t seem to catch a break. Then I looked up and saw a man with two hooks for hands walk by. It was almost as if he were sent into my view to straighten me out.

Stock Market Predicts Donald Trump Victory / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Austin_Galt
Some of you know that I like to forecast fundamentals based on my view of the technicals. We have had success with this in the past predicting a No vote in the Greek referendum on the EU bailout when polls suggested the Yes vote would prevail and also recently predicting a Brexit Leave vote when a vote to Remain was clearly favoured by the polls.
I believe the markets have a sixth sense and wrote an article about this titled The Sixth Sense of Markets, produced on the 14th April 2016, which is available to view on my website.

Stock Market SPX Downtrend Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Tony_Caldaro
Another boring week until Friday. The market started the week at SPX 2180. After opening at SPX 2184 on Tuesday, it dropped to 2175 in the first hour of trading, then hit a higher high at the close. On Wednesday the SPX hit the high for the week at 2188. After that it declined into the close on Friday. For the week the SPX/DOW lost 2.3%, and the NDX/NAZ lost 2.4%. Economic reports for the week were light and slightly positive. On the downtick: ISM services and the Q3 GDP estimate. On the uptick: consumer credit, investor confidence, and weekly jobless claims improved. Next week, another options expiration week, reports will be highlighted by industrial production, the CPI/PPI and retail sales. Best to your week!

Jubilee Jolt: Dow Down 400, Stocks Smashed In Biggest Drop Since Brexit / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jeff_Berwick
It was just two days ago that we wrote, “Gold Has Biggest One Day Rally Since Brexit as Elites Rush Into Gold”.
Now, to end the week, US stocks had their biggest drop since Brexit on Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 394.46 points, or 2.1%, to 18085.45, and the S&P 500 declined 2.45%, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 2.5%.

Are These Billionaire Bets Ringing Bells at the Stock Market Top? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Graham_Summers
The billionaires are coming out of the woodwork.
Carl Icahn paid his way through Princeton playing poker. The man understands risks and has accrued one of the largest fortunes in history playing the markets. Regardless of whether or not you think he’s a shark when it comes to activism, he usually wins and wins big.
Icahn is more bearish now than at any point in his life. He has 149% NET short the market.

Stock Market Hard Gap Down And Run.... Fed Governor's Talking Rate Hike... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
When you have negative divergences on an index chart, or any chart for that matter, you're waiting for a gap down to occur in order to get that negative divergence to kick in and create real down side action. The gap down we saw today was quite powerful, but what was even more impressive was the gap and run lower. Many times we get a gap down, but most of the damage is done in the first few minutes. After that the market starts to recover and all is forgiven. This gap down didn't have those characteristics. Quite the opposite. It gapped down quite nicely and kept running lower. A sign of real selling from the big boys and girls who rule price. A negative divergence can be in place for weeks or months before the right candle stick hits and carries it appreciably lower.

Stock Market Sell Signals Confirmed / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has broken the 50-day Moving Average at 2164.60 and is challenging the 2-hour Cycle Bottom. Because this is the crash decline, it may not stop for the trendline, either.
The SPX decline has a lot of downside work to do, so don’t be surprised.

The ECB’s Private Deals Are Distorting the European Markets / Stock-Markets / ECB Interest Rates
By: John_Mauldin
ECB President Mario Draghi famously pledged to do “whatever it takes” to restore eurozone growth. His attempts to fulfill that promise have led to NIRP and other bizarre policies like the central bank’s massive asset purchases.
Whether the ECB’s interventions are helping the eurozone economy is not yet clear. But they are certainly having consequences. One is the appearance, if not the reality, of central bank interference and favoritism.

Will Deutsche Bank Crash The Global Stock Market? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash
By: Clif_Droke
The past year has seen its fair share of worries. From the China slowdown to the Brexit, successive waves of overseas fear have rolled onto our shores since 2015, yet none of them were the Tsunamis the bears had predicted.
The latest foreign fear concerns the possibility for a global credit crisis led by the collapse of a major international bank. A simplified summary of this scenario goes something like this: Deutsche Bank is on the brink of bankruptcy and its insolvency could spark a systemic European banking crash. This in its turn could send shockwaves throughout the global financial system, resulting in widespread economic turmoil on par with the previous worldwide crisis.

China New Stocks Bull Market Underway? / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Tony_Caldaro
If it wasn’t for the quantification of waves by OEW this volatile index would look more like a commodity index than a stock index. When reviewing the entire history of the SSEC we see a series of volatile up moves followed by longer and less volatile down moves. In fact, nearly all of the bullish trends have lasted only 1-2 years, while the bearish trends have taken as long as 4 years.

Stocks Remain Close To Record Highs, Which Direction Is Next? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Paul_Rejczak
Briefly: In our opinion, speculative short positions are favored (with stop-loss at 2,210, and profit target at 2,050, S&P 500 index).
Our intraday outlook is bearish, and our short-term outlook is bearish. Our medium-term outlook is now neutral, following S&P 500 index breakout above last year's all-time high:
Intraday outlook (next 24 hours): bearish
Short-term outlook (next 1-2 weeks): bearish
Medium-term outlook (next 1-3 months): neutral
Long-term outlook (next year): neutral

U.S. Stocks Election Jitters Coming? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Gary_Savage
Everyone seems to think we are going to get a big sell off right after the elections. I doubt that will happen as we will be entering the most bullish time of the year (not to mention the Nasdaq is breaking out of its 15 year consolidation). The last two intermediate cycles were about normal in duration. I expect this cycle to stretch a bit and possibly not bottom until January.

SPX May have made its Reversal / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
Today is proposed to be a Trading Cycle pivot day, so this may be what we have been looking for.
This decline may go directly to the belly of the Beast, as Wave (3) of [1] appears to be capable of making a Primary Cycle low on or around September 21. Primary Cycles are often awe-inspiring in their strength and breadth. This is also the decline into point 8 of the Orthodox Broadening Top, which is often a panic low.

Stock Trading based on Mainstream Media Perfect recipe for Losses / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
"Emotion is primarily about nothing, and much of it remains about nothing to the end." ~ George Santayana
If CNN, FOX, CNBC, etc. are the primary sources you use to base your investment decisions on, perhaps it is time for a change in strategy. These outlets focus on amplifying the "noise factor". Their only function is to make sure that the crowd will over react to any given event.
