Predicting Markets is Like Forecasting the Weather / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Brad_Gudgeon

Last week, my forecast was for a dollar rally, (which we are in the midst of) a drop in the mining indexes into around Oct 4/8 (going down since Tuesday) and a top on Sept 21 on the SPX and down into around Oct 8th.

The lack of any real selling on the stock market since the Sept 21st top leads me to believe the bottom is going to be further out than I thought.  Now my forecast is for a bottom around Oct 17th (based on the 4 year cycle Oct ’14).  I still think we hold to a 5-6% decline on the S&P 500 (SPX 2792).

By: Andre_Gratian

SPX: Long-term trend – The bull market is continuing with a top expected in the low 3000s.
 
Intermediate trend –  Breaking to a new high has only delayed the anticipated correction into mid-October.
Last week’s action suggests that it may have already started.  

Analysis of the short-term trend is done on a daily basis with the help of hourly charts.  It is an important adjunct to the analysis of daily and weekly charts which discusses the course of longer market trends

Will Stocks Keep Their Upward Momentum in October / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

VIX closed beneath Short-term resistance at 12.60, leaving it on a sell signal for a third week in a row.  It appears to be in a holding pattern for the end of the quarter.  However, the Cycles Model shows a likely surge in strength for the VIX through late October.

Will the Fed’s Rate Hikes Choke the Stock Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: EWI


Fact: The direction of interest rates does not determine the stock market's trend

Investing is hard. You, like many others, probably watch financial TV networks, read analysis, listen to talk shows and talk to fellow investors, trying to understand what's next.

One popular stock market "indicator" is interest rates. Analysts parse every word from the Fed, hoping they hear a clue about interest rates. They assume that falling rates means higher stock prices, while rising rates means lower stocks.

Fed Quantitative Tightening is Stock Bull’s Death Knell / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Zeal_LLC

The Federal Reserve’s unprecedented quantitative-tightening campaign is finally ramping to its full-steam speed in Q4.  That will destroy $50b per month of quantitative-easing money created out of thin air!  QT will need to maintain this terminal pace for over two years to meaningfully unwind the Fed’s grotesquely-bloated balance sheet.  This record tightening poses a dire threat to today’s QE-inflated overvalued stock markets.

This week traders are focused on the Fed’s 8th rate hike of this cycle, which was universally expected.  Ever since the FOMC’s previous meeting in early August, federal-funds futures have implied odds of another hike way up at 91% to 100% at this latest meeting.  But the Fed’s ongoing hiking pales in comparison with what it’s doing with its balance sheet.  One year after its birth, quantitative tightening is hitting full speed.

The Russell 2000 (small caps index) is on the verge of making a DOWN “inside month”. A DOWN “inside month” is when:

  1. The market goes down this month, AND…
  2. This month’s HIGH is below last month’s HIGH, while this months LOW is above last month’s LOW.

Fed Hikes Interest Rates, Stocks Fall, Just a Correction? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Paul_Rejczak

Stocks reversed their yesterday's intraday uptrend following the Fed's Rate Decision release. Will they continue lower today? Or was it just a quick downward correction before another leg up?

The U.S. stock market indexes lost 0.2-0.4% on Wednesday, as investors reacted to the FOMC's Interest Rate hike announcement. The S&P 500 index has reached the new record high of 2,940.91 on Friday. It currently trades 1.1% below that high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.4% and the technology Nasdaq Composite lost 0.2% yesterday.

Sector Rotation Continues. Bullish for Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Troy_Bombardia

We’ve been looking at sector rotation quite a bit recently here at BullMarkets. Last week we mentioned that the Dow:Russell ratio (large cap vs. small caps) is about to cross above its 200 day moving average for the first time in a long time.

This means that the Dow is starting to outperform the Russell 2000 for the first time in a long time.

Focus on the Stock Market’s Price Action and Ignore the Failed Hindenburg Omen / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Troy_Bombardia

Our recent quantitative market studies have shown an interesting divergence:

  1. The U.S. stock market’s own price action suggests that the stock market will continue to rally for another year.
  2. Various studies of the stock market’s breadth have been bearish. They’ve pointed to a “bear market” or “big correction” very soon. Some of these have been the Hindenburg Omen.

So which of these 2 market studies is right? Which is more important? Price action or breadth?

As U.S. stock market investors and traders, our job is to separate the signal from the noise.

Stock Market Macro/Macro View: Waves and Cycles Part II / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Brad_Gudgeon

Last week, I mainly discussed the coming economic crash and where we are in the cycles.  I also talked about the short term stock market cycles, which I believe have peaked as of Friday or will peak on Monday. In this segment, I will mainly talk about my short term work.

Due to the fact that the waves no longer move up in 5 wave sequences anymore, and the normal cycles are changing rapidly, I have had to augment my wave work with other data including astro-cycles and more technical data. This has forced me to buy other timing experts’ work to meld with my own so I can hone my timing skills better.

Two Scenarios for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Harry_Dent

The Trump rally into January 2018 looked like the classic final blow-off top.

It had been advancing in a clear channel, then it broke above that in a classic “overthrow” pattern, followed by a sharp correction.

Was that the beginning of the final and greatest crash?

Elliott Wave Analysis of the SP-500 (SPX) / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: WavePatternTraders

The advance from the April lows is currently the focus for us, as I believe the orthodox low for wave [4] was made in April 2018, so we are trying to count an impulse wave (5 wave advance). With the sub-divisions from the April lows, we can now suggest there are enough gyrations in place to warrant some caution for the current bullish trend from those April lows. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also confirmed the SPX idea and made a new all-time high, so that’s now aligned all 3 markets NDX, SPX and the DJIA with the same impulse wave idea from the 2016 lows.

Here’s Why "Strong Jobs" Don't Mean "Higher Stocks" / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: EWI

The stock market leads the economy, not the other way around

It's a wonderful thing when jobs are added to the U.S. economy.

But, as far as investing goes, history shows that you should not bet your stock market portfolio on it. Conversely, even a series of weak jobs reports doesn't mean you should bet against stocks.

The Stealth Reason Why the Stock Market Keeps On Rising / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Gordon_T_Long

KEY MESSAGE:

  • The US stock market continues to rise because it is increasingly dominated by shrinking "availability & supply",
  • All three stock "Pools" are shrinking in a stealth & unappreciated fashion,
  • There is an increasing potential for a "Minsky Melt-Up" based on an even stronger US dollar (i.e. An Emerging Market Flight to Safety),
  • Expect a coming M&A corporate focus using inflated stock as the takeover currency to answer slowing corporate growth .... further reducing listing and outstanding share pools.
  • Expect market rotation from Growth to Value in the near term versus the final Topping of the equity markets.

Proven Gauges of the Stocks Bull Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Donald_W_Dony

As the current bull market roars into its 9th year, analysts, market pundits and investors, all wonder at one point, how much longer is this run going to go?

Gauges for the duration of the bull market vary considerably.

Analysts who value fundamentals generally review the levels of Price-to-Earnings (P/E), Price-to-Book (P/B), Debt-to-Equity, free cash flow and the PEG ratio to determine the "true value" of a company.
