Is VIX Beckoning The Stock Market Bear? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Clif_Droke
The FOMC issued guidance at its Wednesday policy meeting to the effect that interest rates would remain low into the foreseeable future. It further lowered the pace of its monthly asset purchases by $10 billion to $35 billion per month. The Fed also said it expects the unemployment rate to range between 6.0% and 6.1% for the rest of the year, which is slightly lower than its previous projection.

The Stocks Dow Jones Industrial Average Index: a Fata Morgana / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Wim_Grommen
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Index is the only stock market index that covers both the second and the third industrial revolution. Calculating share indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and showing this index in a historical graph is a useful way to show which phase the industrial revolution is in. Changes in the DJIA shares basket, changes in the formula and stock splits during the take-off phase and acceleration phase of industrial revolutions are perfect transition-indicators. The similarities of these indicators during the last two revolutions are fascinating, but also a reason for concern. In fact the graph of the DJIA is a classic example of fictional truth, a fata morgana.

Outlook on U.S. Dollar, Currencies & Markets: Look Out Below! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Axel_Merk
The FIFA World Cup and market predictions have in common that we are tempted to create a world of make-believe when it comes to predicting outcomes. While others ponder about the meaning of a round ball, we’ll focus on the implications of a make-believe world comprised of ever-higher asset prices. Our caution: look out below!

Stock Market SP500 Looking For 2000 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Gregor_Horvat
S&P500 accelerated to the upside this month with increasing volume and momentum. In fact, move from 1858 is very strong, so based on personality we think it was wave three of a five waves in progress in blue wave (5). As such, we expect even more upside in coming days; market may reach levels around 1980/2000.

Stock Market Fractional Gain to Start the Week / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: PhilStockWorld
Courtesy of Doug Short:Against the backdrop of conflict in Iraq, this morning’s economic news was upbeat. The Empire State Manufacturing Index surprised to the upside and the Fed’s much broader Industrial Production series also beat expectations. The S&P 500 hit its -0.27% intraday low seconds after the opening bell. I then did sine wave during the first half of the day making nearly equidistant arcs below and above Friday’s closing price. The trading range tightened in the afternoon, and a dip into the red early in final hour created a bit of suspense for market watchers. But the index quickly recovered and closed the day with a modest 0.08% gain.

Stock Market Grinding / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jack_Steiman
The worst possible scenario is upon is for now. Grinding is not necessarily a precursor to a large move lower, which we know has to come to unwind froth. Grinding can last an incredibly long time and frustrate everyone. Markets are very good at that as we know all too well these past few months. We are grinding because we are full in terms of bulls, but we are seeing fear in the hearts of bears as shorting has not worked for them for quite some time. I guess you could say they're tired of being burned over and over again. Who can blame them. The bears need a bit of bravery to get the ball rolling down. Without any real bad news out there regarding our economy, and with the Fed Yellen reassuring everyone they're in control, thus, no worries needed, it's hard for the bears to find that bit of bravery they so sorely need.

Europe Stock Markets Potential Turbulance Ahead / Stock-Markets / European Stock Markets
By: Tony_Caldaro
Using OEW we have been tracking 8 of Europe’s most important stock market indices: England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the hybrid STOX 50. In general, since the 2011 low in most indices, and the 2012 low in some other European indices, all of these stock markets have been rising. Over the past year, however, we have been noticing some fairly negative, and potentially completing, long term patterns unfolding.

Stock Market Minor Correction Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Very Long-term trend - The very-long-term cycles are in their down phases, and if they make their lows when expected, there will be another steep decline into late 2014. However, the Fed policy of keeping interest rates low has severely curtailed the full downward pressure potential of the 40-yr and 120-yr cycles.
Intermediate trend - May be tracing out an ending diagonal pattern.

The Horrible Laugh of the Doomed / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Richard_Daughty
I can hear the family gathered outside, banging on the walls of the Mogambo Bunker Of Paranoid Hysteria (MBOPH), demanding that I unlock the door, come outside immediately, stop acting like a crazy person, and at least pick up the empty pizza boxes that I threw out into the yard, because the neighbors are complaining, and it looks so tacky, and blah blah blah.

Stock Market SPX Uptrend to Resume Shortly / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Tony_Caldaro
After hitting an all time high right at the OEW 1956 pivot at noon Monday, the market went into pullback mode for the rest of the week. For the week the SPX/DOW were -0.8%, the NDX/NAZ were -0.4%, and the DJ World index lost 0.3%. On the economic front, positive reports edged out negative ones for the week. On the uptick: business/wholesale inventories, retail sales, export prices, the monetary base, plus the budget deficit improved. On the downtick: the PPI, the WLEI, consumer sentiment, plus weekly jobless claims rose. Next week should be a busy one. Besides the FOMC meeting Tues/Wed, we have Options expiration Friday, plus reports on Capacity utilization and Housing. Best to your week!

The Death of Stock Market Volatility / Stock-Markets / Volatility
By: Jesse
The US equity markets ended the week on a dull note, barely able to bounce after a lower open to end the week on a correcting note.
The question will be if this is just a consolidation after a widely noted great leap upwards, or will we see a bit more action to the downside before this is over.

Financial Markets Good News In All The Bad Data / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets
By: Adam_Taggart
Today's financial markets make a mockery out of sanity and logic. The difference between what SHOULD happen and what IS happening is perhaps the greatest it has been in our investing lifetimes.
If you're perplexed, flummoxed, frustrated, stymied, enraged, bored, irritated, insulted, discouraged -- any or all of these -- by the ever-higher blind grinding of asset prices over the past several years, despite so many structural reasons for concern, you have good reason to be.

Stock Market Ugly Weekly Charts...Still No Reversal.....Froth Remains Extremely High.. / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jack_Steiman
The market is trying to find a way to hang in there. Yes, there was a bit of selling this week, but not much to talk about. Not nearly as much as many would expect considering how many problems the market is currently facing. The bears are somewhat in disbelief that the market hasn't fallen under the weight of froth alone. Gap downs get bought up. The bears are acting almost fearful of getting involved due to the markets inability to find sellers when things look really bad for the bulls. So, the week came and went, and in the end, the bears feel a drop better about things, but I don't think they feel satisfied. Maybe fearful, but definitely not satisfied.

American Empire on FIRE! SOVEREIGN credit market action Simply UNBELIEVABLE / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Ty_Andros
This week’s news certainly WASN’T BORING. Big events and small add up to unfolding CHAOS around the WORLD.
It is clear that US FOREIGN POLICY and unfolding military weakness is creating a vacuum that is quickly degenerating into what could be the beginnings of World War III. The biggest victim will most certainly be the US DOLLAR. Dennis Gartman repeatedly emphasizes the World’s Reserve currency also must be the dominant MILITARY power. HE IS CORRECT. They have gone hand in hand in EMPIRES throughout history. Now the administration in Washington is on RECORD saying we will no longer be the dominant military power. They have demonstrated this repeatedly over the last 6 years. Egypt, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Taliban prisoner swap, Ukraine, and the South China Sea are abject surrenders to belligerents in one form or another. Now that these patterns are firmly established, escalation by all can be EXPECTED. The administration is openly committed to downsizing the military and removing the ability to fight on two fronts around the world. No American allies can reliably expect the US to honor defense treaties. They are now written on DISAPPEARING INK! Some realize it and some are WAKING UP rapidly.

Stocks Bull Market Topping / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Zeal_LLC
The US stock markets’ Fed-driven melt-up has accelerated again in recent weeks, with a string of new nominal record highs. This has reignited truly extraordinary levels of greed, euphoria, and complacency. But for traders who have witnessed past bull toppings, there is an ominous sense of deja vu. It turns out this past year’s strong stock-market action nearly perfectly matches that leading into the last bull-market top in 2007.
This shouldn’t be surprising at all, as topping signs abound. The flagship S&P 500 stock index (symbol SPX, but trades as the mighty SPY ETF) has blasted an astounding 188.4% higher in the 63 months since today’s cyclical bull was born in despair in March 2009. For the second half of this entire duration, the last 32 months, the SPX and SPY have not seen a single 10%+ correction. This has bred euphoria.
