Stock Market Head & Shoulders Pattern Activated / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The neckline of the Head & Shoulders formation appears to have been crossed. That action activates the formation with a minimum target of 2044.43. Chances of a bounce back above the neckline are normally slim to none. Should we close beneath it, we may see a massive gap down tomorrow.

Confirmed Stock Market Sell Signals / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has crossed beneath the bottom trendline of the Triangle formation. This confirms the trend change in SPX.
ZeroHedge points out that the Risk Parity trade is deleveraging this morning, causing the breakdown. This practice is akin to the “portfolio insurance” used up to the crash of 1987, but with leverage, since yields are so low.
This may be a fast-developing situation, as each level of breakdown instigates more selling. There is a vicious feedback loop that may be unstoppable until selling is exhausted. That may take SPX beneath the February 12 low at 1810.10.

Stock Market Debate Rally...Still Nowhere....Still Bullish.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
Last night we had the second debate between Clinton and Trump. The market wants the status quo because if Trump wins, he said he would remove fed Yellen. That's not what this stock market wants. It wants Yellen since she, and she alone, is responsible for quite a bit of the wealth most have in stock market gains over the past many years. If she goes away, it is quite likely rates will go up quite fast and kill the market. The market wants a democrat since this will make certain that Yellen will remain in office, and, thus, the world of low rates and, therefore, more Disneyland is possible.

Stock Market Downside Possibilities / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The stock market rallied on Monday out of the 8 TD low on Friday. The 8 TD low is acting more like a 4 TD low. The dominant has once again become sub-dominant. The market looks as though it wants to curl over this week into Thursday. Downside possibilities are the low to mid 2130’s to as low as the 2102/07 area SPX.

Stock Market Shades of August 2015 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
You may recall that we saw a Triangle formation going into the August 2015 flash crash decline. This time it’s capped by an Orthodox Broadening Top formation that has the potential for a much larger decline.
In addition, the time from the top of Wave A to today’s top is exactly 12.9 market days. From the 2187.87 high to the 2179.99 high was 8.6 market days. The time from the August 15 high at 2193.01 to the high at 2187.87 was 17.2 market days.

Stock Market Down Monday? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The SPX could take a plunge Monday, but the set up is there for a nice rebound into October 14th. I think we finally get my False Break of the Rising Wedge and the rebound that takes us above 2200 SPX. October 14th should be the high for the year.
GDX and the gold complex are due for a nice rebound rally, but much damage has been done. A move back into the mid 26.00 area for GDX is the minimum expectation for an October 18 top. It may take a couple of more days to get kick started as the buyers are hesitant and selling into rallies.

Is This How World War III Begins, In Almost Complete Silence? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jeff_Berwick
I used to wonder how these massive World Wars happened.
World War I, for instance. The “official” story for why it happened makes absolutely no sense. The mainstream reason for the war was because some Archduke from Austria got killed.
Then, like some bizarre drunken bar fight, tens of millions of people from dozens of different countries all were wounded or injured in the ensuing four years.

End of SPX Stock Market Correction Nears / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 2168. After a gap down opening on Monday the market declined to SPX 2144 by Tuesday. A gap up opening on Wednesday carried the market to SPX 2164. Then a pullback on Thursday to SPX 2150 was followed by a rally into Friday to SPX 2166. Then the market pulled back to SPX 2145, only to end the week at SPX 2154. For the week the SPX/DOW lost 0.35%, and the NDX/NAZ lost 0.30%. Economic reports for the week were again mixed. On the downtick: construction spending, wholesale inventories, the Q3 GDP estimate, the ADP, plus the trade deficit and unemployment rate rose. On the uptick: ISM manufacturing/services, auto sales, factory orders, monthly payrolls, consumer credit, plus weekly jobless claims declined. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by the FOMC minutes, the PPI and Retail sales. Best to your week!

WARNING: the Markets Might Crash HERE AND NOW / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Graham_Summers
Stock investing is ultimately based on risk.
The global risk-free rate is the Us 10-Year Treasury. Again, this is the “risk-free” rate for the world. Stocks trade relative to this rate.
The ENTIRE move in the market from the early 2016 lows was predicated on bon yields falling (or bond prices rising). As this occurred, risk became cheaper, forcing stocks higher.

Stock Market Crash Sound More like Stock Market Trash when you listen to Drs of Doom / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
A small mind is obstinate. A great mind can lead and be led. Alexander CannonEvery few months there is some nonsensical headline that is passed off as news when it should be relegated to the rubbish bin of time. Sometimes it is high oil price that is not good for the market, and then on other occasions, we hear that low oil prices are not good. Then you have the Dance with the Fed and interest rates, which sounds more like a silly girl peeling petals from a flower and murmuring “he loves me, or he loves me not”. If you go back and start from 2006 for example, you will notice that with the passage of each year the headlines are bombastic in nature. However, the outcome is always the same, the masses panic and the smart money comes and laps up all the stocks being sold for next to nothing.

Wall Street Earnings Recession is no cause for Worry; Stock Market Bull has been ignoring it. / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.Friedrich SchlegelWe could sum it up in two words as to why earnings recession was, is and will be a non-event; Hot Money. However, for some strange reason when it comes to the markets individuals happen to love long explanations even though in most cases the long answers reveal a lot less than the short ones do. So let’s take a look at some of these meaningless statistics.

Will the Stocks Bull Market Remain Intact in 2017? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Clif_Droke
The question confronting investors right now is whether the lateral trading range in the major indices represents consolidation of the long-term uptrend, which precedes an eventual upside breakout from the range? Or does it represent distribution (i.e. selling) which precedes an eventual breakdown of the trend?
Bulls and bears have assembled evidence to support their respective take on this conundrum, but the most basic and useful evidence suggests the first outcome, namely an eventual upside resolution. Let’s examine the evidence in support of this conclusion.

Stock Market Positive Session with Good Technicals / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had another wild session, first gapping up and running to retest the highs, unable to get there, and by midday hit their peak on the Nasdaq 100. The S&P 500 did make a higher high in the afternoon, unconfirmed by the Nasdaq 100. That caused a negative divergence, which sold them off in the last hour.
Net on the day, the Dow was up 112.58 at 18,281.03, 34 points off its high. The S&P 500 was up 9.24 at 2159.73, 4 points off its high. The Nasdaq 100 was up 18.28 at 4877.75, 14 points off its high.

Stock Market Season of Falling Prices and Percent Index Proves It! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Chris_Vermeulen
It’s a knows fact that Sept and October are typically weak times for US stocks. Going back 37 years shows us the tendency for investors to sell and rebalance their portfolios to try and perform better during the final quarter.
But that’s not really the point of this article. The chart below shows a comparison between the SP500 bullish percent index and the SP500 index.

Stock Market Indices Has Rough Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a rough session. After a gap up and then a move up to resistance, the indices were unable to get much further than that. They had a selloff, a very sharp snapback, but again couldn’t get through the highs, and then started to decline in a distinct down-channel all day. Only in the last hour did they snap back off the lows, but S&P 500 violated key support by a couple points, before the rally. We’ll just have to see whether they were able to hold the fort right here, or going to make lower lows.

Stock Market September 30- October 3 High / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Ed_Carlson
The Hybrid Lindsay model points to a high early this week (if not last Friday). While there are other highs and lows scheduled, the next important low is due late this month and getting there should be quite a “ride” if the Three Peaks/Domed House pattern is correct.
