Why Stock Investors Should Be Praying for a Interest Rate Hike / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Investment_U
Bob Creed writes: A little over a week ago, the Fed announced it wasn’t raising rates. Our next chance of a hike is October... more likely, December.
Perhaps you breathed a sigh of relief when you heard the news. But we ask... Would an increase be so awful?

Stock Market Going Down, Gold Chop Continues / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Two weeks ago, I warned that September 17th would be a critical date: the perfect storm coming together with Mercury going retrograde and Jupiter opposing Neptune on the date that the FED announces its intents regarding interest rates. I also warned that gold stocks would take a dip into September 22/23.The stock market as measured by the S&P 500 made its low on Sept 24 falling over 111 points in one week (down over 5%) and gold stocks made their low on September 23 (down over 10%). Now we have Pluto going direct while the super moon eclipses on September 27. The set up is there for a huge rally in stocks on September 28 (to knock out the shorts) followed by a sharp drop into October 5th (especially after September 29/30). Gold stocks should rally into September 30 and then fall hard to new lows into October 5/6.

A Look At The Dow Jones Industrial Average - Hauntingly Familiar / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Joseph_Russo
Just as it did exactly 4-months following its print high in October of 2007, the Dow (within the few trading days remaining in September) is once again on path to breach its cyclical uptrend from a previous bear market low. Although the outcome may be better or worse this time around, the pattern unfolding is nonetheless hauntingly familiar.

Stock Market Primary Wave IV Inflection Point / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 1958. After a short-lived gap up opening on Monday to SPX 1980 the market headed lower into Thursday when hitting SPX 1909. Then after a morning low the market rallied into Thursday’s close and gapped up on Friday to hit SPX 1953. If that wasn’t enough, the market then dropped to SPX 1922 before rallying to close the week at 1932. For the week the SPX/DOW were -0.9%, the NDX/NAZ were -2.6%, and the DJ World index was -2.3%. On the economic front, reports for the week were mixed. On the uptick: Q2 GDP, consumer sentiment, the WLEI, new home sales and the FHFA. On the downtick: GDPN, durable goods, existing home sales and weekly jobless claims were higher. Next week, a busy schedule, will be highlighted by monthly Payrolls, the PCE and the Chicago PMI.

Violent Stock Market....Fed Tries To Protect Those 401K's... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
Ms. Yellen knew she made a terrible mistake last week by not raising rates. She made a speech to the world last night and did her best to correct that error in judgment. She said she would be raising rates this year. The banks would be the biggest beneficiary in that scenario, and it was a way to bring the averages up. It worked early on today as those futures exploded higher and held for the most part allowing a large gap up that started to run. And then it stopped running and went into reverse. A massive quick move down had the Nasdaq down over 100 points from its intraday high at one point before bouncing some. It was very ugly for the market overall. The market is unable to find leadership in enough areas to hold things up. Biotech stocks are in a strong bear market, with one after another falling hard day after day.

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
A visit to the cardiologist resulted in an overnight stay at the hospital. I was experiencing vertigo and the doctors have been trying to pinpoint the source. I may be in for another night, so my email will be brief.
The plunge hasbegun and there is now enough information to identify the pattern. This may be safely called an Intermediate degree Wave (C) of a Primary ‘degree Leading Diagonal Wave [1].

Stock Market Sentiment Plunges Further Still.....Price Action Weak.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
It's really amazing how fear ramps so much faster than froth ever could. Put a good scare into folks and they run for the hills faster than you can blink your eyes, or, for that matter, hit the sell button. Trust won't ever come back the way it had before either. It's been too long with the market going nowhere to down. Very few, if any, strong, sustained rallies, and after a while it becomes a belief that they'll never come any more, thus, of course, they will, but it won't be easy to turn people bullish any longer. They're scared to take any real chances, since they've been burned repeatedly over the past many, many months. So naturally fear took a turn down further after the rough action from last week. Two weeks back we were at minus 2.2%. Last week it went flat at 0%, but now we're back down, and this time it's minus 4.2%. The lowest reading in quite a long time, and the third week at, or below, zero.

Stock Market Decline May Begin Without Warning / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Mornoing!
SPX Premarket is flat. It closed beneath its daily Cycle Bottom at 1962.59. I had thought that it might go back for a retest this morning, but it doesn’t seem to have the energy.
In a nutshell, SPX may begin to sell off without further warning.

Stock Market Trading Bands are Being Squeezed / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
I like to observe the indices from all degrees of trend, from hourly to monthly and even yearly. The charts can tell you a lot. I am using the hourly charts less these days, because the moves in the market often require a larger perspective. However, the hourly charts caught my eye and, thanks to Roy, a subscriber, his nudge prompted me to view all the pertinent charts.

Stock Market Plunge Begins / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
The SPX Premarket is down over 30 points as I write. There is another hour left before the cash market opens, so the probability of a “limit down” at the open or during the trading session is rising. If such a circuit breaker is reached, the market is halted for 15 minutes. The triggers are set at 7%, 13% and 20%.

Steps from a Deep October Stock Market Selloff / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Bob_Loukas
For some reason there was a late flurry of expectations that the FED was going to raise rates this past week. Many in the media would like us to believe that we've finally transitioned out of an economic intensive care and that the economy is ready to stand on its own two feet. Evidence to support the idea is the employment picture, which when taken on the surface provides the illusions that we're in a healthy and thriving economy.

What to Expect from Stocks into 2016 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com D.R. Barton writes: We're living in the proverbial interesting times.
As a technical trader, it's intriguing to me that all the headline-generating volatility – and U.S. Federal Reserve inaction – we've seen lately really hasn't made the market nosedive or skyrocket for any significant length of time.
And so investors, who need to know what's coming next, are looking in some strange places to find the answer.

Stock Market Fear Versus Fundamentals....No Winner For Now.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
A horrible market environment exists when there are have two opposing forces battling it out, each with a great weapon on their side. The bulls have a very powerful weapon in the form of fear. The masses are very fearful here. Pessimism is ramping. The bears also have a strong weapon on their side. A weakening, global, economic environment. Two powerful market forces fighting it out every single day. Since sentiment is such a strong force all the time in the market it's going to be nearly impossible to break forcefully below 1867 on a closing basis. Not impossible, of course, but very difficult. It would take some really bad news to make that a reality.

Stock Market Just Formed a “Death Cross” - Should You Worry? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Casey_Research
By Justin Spittler
The world economy appears to be stalling…
Yesterday, we got news that South Korea’s exports dropped 14.7% since last August...their largest decline since the financial crisis. It’s far worse than the 5.9% drop economists were expecting.

Liquidity May be Leaving the Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
SPX appears to have completed its first impulse from the high on Thursday. This morning’s Premarket shows SPX up about 12 points, and may go as high as the lower trendline of the Flag or Wedge formation at 1980.00. That would constitute a 34% retracement, which would be average for this position. But the futures are already showing weakness, so there are no assurances of that target being met.
