There is a deep chasm between America’s historical rebuff of G20 efforts, which seek to re-ignite trade, and markets, which remain at record heights. This rift is untenable.Historically, Baden-Baden’s spas are famous for their healing waters, which have healed ancient Romans’ arthritic aches, Prussian queens’ rheumatism and European aristocrats’ paralyses. Nevertheless, the G20 Summit is fresh evidence that even Baden-Baden cannot do miracles.

Stock Market Charts That Scream “This Is It” - Here’s What to Do / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By Stephen McBride: The S&P 500 and DJIA haven’t seen a 1% drop since October 2016. For some perspective, Hillary Clinton was the presidential frontrunner the last time markets fell 1%. This is the longest such streak for both indices in over 20 years.
In February, the DJIA recorded its longest “winning streak” since 1987. It closed 2,000 points above its 200-day moving average for the first time ever.

SPY Flirting With Near-Term Stock Market Sell Signal / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
On Friday, the SPY closed beneath its 20-day moving average (DMA) for the first time since the Dec 28 close at 224.40, which triggered a very minor bout of weakness for two days into a Dec 30 low at 222.73 (0.93%).
Purely from a technical perspective, when the SPY closes beneath the 20 DMA, the ensuing weakness is dependent on the slope of the moving average (MA) at the time. If the MA is sloping upward, then the likelihood is that SPY will endure just a brief, shallow correction prior to a resumption of the underlying uptrend.

Stock Market Long, Hot Summer / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
It looks like the Dow is due for its first major correction of 2017. While the expected downturn could be “uncomfortable” for many, it is not expected to witness the end of the secular bull market.
Lindsay’s long cycle is expected to count a 15yr interval between point A (10/10/02) and points J or H. That would place the more important high in the period from October’17 until September’18.

A Stock Market Dip in the Offing? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
Right now, the coming dip could be a little scary, but shouldn’t amount to much, maybe around 4%. My guess is the first couple of days next week should see a sharp drop, but a buy the dip mentally and seasonal strength should prevail for now. The astros were ripe for a top around February 27-March 2. We have another even more complex period coming up March 31-April 15. March 31 could be a top and then another secondary bottom around April 11-12 would be ideal. A sharp drop next week would produce a need for a momentum failure retest by around early/mid April.

US Fed is Driving Stock Prices and Volatility / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
Last week’s news that the US Fed will raise rates from 0.75% to 1.00% drove the US markets, generally, over 0.40% higher after Fed Chairman Janet Yellen announced the hike. As of right now, the NASDAQ has pushed to a new all-time high and the SPY is very close to an all-time high.
Yet, as we move into the end of March 2017 and begin the spring season, we have to be aware of the risks that are before us. OIL has recently seen a downward price break based on over supply, yet is up today on the Fed news. Gold and Silver are up nearly 2% today. The US Dollar is down nearly 0.75%.
