This is Crazy! Stock Market Investors Have Simply Gone Nuts! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX took out yesterday’s low at 2813.04. This may be the beginning of the slide suggested by the Head & Shoulders formation. Confirmation comes at the neckline at 2805.00. There is still a chance of a pop to the upper reaches of the right shoulder, but that probability seems to be fading fast.

Many are ignoring this decline as being “too insignificant.” Vic Kolanovic at JPM is one of them. It appears that a larger decline will be needed to wake these fellas up.

Stocks Went Sideways, No Quick Reversal Means Trouble / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Paul_Rejczak

The main U.S. stock market indexes gained 0.1-0.3% on Wednesday, as they fluctuated following recent move down. Investors were uncertain ahead of quarterly earnings, FOMC Rate Decision, economic data releases. The S&P 500 index remained below its Tuesday's relatively big daily gap down. It currently trades around 2.1% below its January 26 record high of 2,872.87. Yet, it remains 4.7% above its December 29 close of 2,673.61. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3% on Wednesday, as it bounced off support level at 26,000, and the technology Nasdaq Composite gained 0.1%.

The nearest important level of support of the S&P 500 index is at 2,790-2,810, marked by the January mid-month consolidation. The next level of support remains at 2,770-2,780, marked by some previous local lows. On the other hand, the nearest important level of resistance is at 2,840-2,850, marked by Tuesday's daily gap down of 2,837.75-2,851.48. The next resistance level remains at around 2,870-2,875, marked by Friday's record high of 2,872.87. The resistance level is the price level at which the selling interest is strong enough to overcome buying pressure and push the price lower. It usually refers to previous high or highs, gap downs, trend lines, retracement levels etc.

Stocks Bull Market or Hyperinflationary Market? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Raymond_Matison

More than a decade ago several insightful people recognized that the bond market as it related to the then AAA rated mortgage backed bonds was a well-crafted illusion.  The eventual default in these bonds fostered a market meltdown which was within hours of totally freezing up markets, creating a global financial crisis.  The stock market reflected this crisis by the Dow Industrial Index declining from 16,437 in October of 2007 to 8,207 in February of 2009, a 50% decline in less than a one and half year period.

Panic Selling On New York Stock Exchange – Get Ready! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Chris_Vermeulen

In this short conversation, we talk about Palladium and how it topped last week, and this metal has already dropped 5.5% in value since then.

We also mentioned a few days ago when gold was testing key resistance that traders should expect a correction in gold and mining stocks. This week we already locked in a quick 11% profit with DUST inverse ETF for gold miners and there is likely more selling to come!

How Will The S&P 500 Reach 4000? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Avi_Gilburt

There is no real secret to the market. In fact, it is rather simple. But, that does not mean the specific smaller degree moves in the market will be just as simple.

You see, markets are no different wherever you look. Whether that be metals, equities, Forex, crypto-currencies, etc, they all react in the exact same way. Markets simply move from one extreme to another. And, we need to be able to identify where those extremes can cause a turn.

Crises and Opportunity – Possible End of the Line for Stocks! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Enda_Glynn

There is not one person living today that has seen a period of overvaluation such as the onewe are living through right now.
And there are few people still alive who witnessed a crash similar to the one we are about to experience.

The market hit such an extreme level last week
that it brought the long term valuation metrics I follow
To a level higher than the property bubble highs of 2007,
the DOTCOM bubble highs of 1999,
the cocaine highs of 1987,
the space age highs of 1966,
and the roaring 20's highs of 1929.

Stock Market Short-term Support May Come Into Play / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX is getting some lift at the Short-term support level at 2815.25. It suggests that may be the downside limit for this decline. If so, it may have its work cut out for it at the gap, which refused to be filled this morning. My best estimate is that SPX may make a probe (lower) to the Short-term support level before attempting a bounce.

Stock Market Sell Signal Confirmed / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX has a substantial gap down this morning. It is likely that there will be an attempt to fill the gap. However, should this be the beginning of Super Cycle Wave (C), the gap may not be filled. Find the best level you can to place your short positions, but don’t try to outguess what happens next. You are likely to beat the crowd by being early and let the market do the rest.

Stock Market Trendlines are Violated. SPX Sell is On / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Good Morning!

USD futures are sown this morning as the index probes toward a new low. Yesterday it back-tested its Cycle Bottom resistance prior to the resumption of its decline. As mentioned, USD is likely to overshoot its target before the main reversal. The Cycles Model implies that the turn may come on Monday February 5. If so, I suggest taking downside profits on Friday.

ZeroHedge reports, “The global selloff that started on Monday as traders were spooked by the double whammy of surging interest rates and fears about iPhone X demand, and resulting in the biggest drop in US stocks since September, accelerated overnight and as seen below world stocks and US equity futures are a sea of red this morning:”

Are Bond Yields About to Slap Stocks Out of Their Euphoria? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Graham_Summers

Rates continue to rise, though stocks remain oblivious.

The yield on the 10-Year US Treasury continues to soar, with a confirmed breakout from its 10-year downtrend.

Now, cynics would ask, “why does this matter? The yield is at the same level as it was in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014.”

It matters because throughout this time period, corporates and governments were adding debt.

Don’t Fight the Fed! Or the Rest of the World’s Central Banks / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018

By: Michael_Pento

On March 9, 2009, The Wall Street Journal’s Money and Investing section posed this ominous question: "How low can stocks go?" The stench of economic malaise was suffocating as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rounded off its fourth straight week of losses, and the S&P 500 touched below 700 for the first time in 13 years. Goldman Sachs cautioned the S&P could fall to 400, while CNBC’s Jim Cramer was busily calculating the stock valuations of the DJIA components based on balance sheet cash levels.

Stocks are Down, VIX is Higher, But No Signal This Morning / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Good Morning!

TNX futures are higher this morning as to blows out prior resistance levels into a clear Wave (5) rally that is still in its early stages. It is approaching its Weekly Cycle Top resistance at 27.80, but is likely to blow through it. The Head I Shoulders pattern usually indicates the terminus of Wave 3. The Monthly Cycle Top is near 35.00 and may be the ultimate target of this final Primary Wave [1] off its all-time low.

ZeroHedge reports, “The recent frantic moves in Treasurys and the dollar continued on Monday as we enter what is set to be a juggernaut of a "rollercoaster week", and while the dollar collapse seems to have slowed for now, this is as a result of an acceleration in the Treasury selloff, with 10Y yields blowing out to 2.72% for the first time since early 2014, and now deep into what Jeff Gundlach called the "danger zone" for equities.”

Analysis and Market Setups - Stocks Rising, GDP Rising but things Not Straightforward / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018

By: Abalgorithm

US GDP rose at a 2.6% annual rate in the fourth quarter. Output grew 2.5% in 2017 as a whole, the most in three years, and the Federal Reserve predicts 2.5% growth again in 2018. Business executives have reported solid quarterly earnings in recent weeks and pointed optimistically to investment and hiring plans for 2018, supported in part by federal tax cuts. Stock prices keep churning higher. And on Friday the Commerce Department reported that U.S. economic output remained on an above-trend path in the final three months of last year.

Stock Market Once in a Lifetime Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Rambus_Chartology

“With the rally continuing to power higher in the stock markets I’m going to update the portfolio combo charts so you can see how this once is a lifetime rally in unfolding. When this impulse move finally burns itself out we will get a decent sized correction that may take a year or two build out. Until then the hardest thing for most investors riding this bull is to hang on for dear life.

For over six months or longer we’ve heard the never ending story about how overbought this market is, but the stock market doesn’t care what we think. The investors that have missed this rally are crying the loudest that the stock market has to crash because they’re not in it, if they were they would be enjoying the ride of a lifetime. At any rate the correction is going to come at some point and I can guarantee you that we won’t hit the absolute top tick. We have some price objectives that hopefully will get us out in time to enjoy our profits.

Stocks and Commodities Reached Significant Resistance Levels, May Signal End of the Rally / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

VIX performed an inside consolidation, closing above Long-term support at 10.83 and on a buy signal.  The calm may be broken.  A breakout above the Ending Diagonal trendline suggests a complete retracement of the decline from January 2016, and possibly to August 2015. 

(Bloomberg)  Just as the rapper Curtis Jackson III captures attention for realizing he’s made millions on Bitcoin, the buyer of volatility options that shares his moniker is a window shopper in VIX options no longer.

Trading patterns associated with the trader dubbed “50 Cent” resurfaced on Friday as 50,000 March VIX calls with a strike price of 24 were purchased for 49 cents a pop.

US Stock Markets Living In A Bubble / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: WMA

Signs that U.S. equities are in a bubble continue to proliferate. Although a bubble can only be confirmed in retrospect, prudent investors need to adjust their investment approach for this eventuality.  

It is said that the earlier you buy in a bubble, the better off you’ll be when the bubble bursts. Or, an investor could simply just avoid buying the assets in a bubble all together. The latter option makes more sense to us today. This implies not doing buy & hold investments in the popular indexes (Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq-100) heavily weighted in assets that are among the most crowded trades on the planet: Boeing, Caterpillar, 3M, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc.  As investors, all of our strategy portfolios are oriented towards relatively attractive foreign companies and resources stocks.  For traders (or investors who can’t stand watching the equity markets advance without them), beware of sharp pull-backs. A bubble market does not back-up to give outsiders a nice opportunity to get onboard. Getting a -3% dip on the S&P 500 at this stage probably has more chance of being the beginning of a downdraft rather than a buy-the-dip opportunity.
