Stock Market Trend Forecast and Fear Trading / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The broad US stock market last week took a tumble sending a massive wave of fear through investors’ minds. On Wednesday May 17th the S&P 500 index plummeted 1.7% causing the fear index to jump a whopping 48% in a single session.
What does this mean and what should we expect going forward? I don’t see the recent drop as being anything to worry about at this point. It’s important to remember that some of that larges drops in stocks happen during a bull market (rising trend). In fact, these stand out sharp drops on the charts are nothing more than the market trying to buck investors out of the bull market (scare them out) before it continues higher.

By: Graham_Summers

Stocks Bull Market and Donald Trump's Death Knell / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Clif_Droke
In the minds of many investors, the election victory of Donald J. Trump to the United States Presidency was nothing short of a miracle. Following his shocking victory, expectations were high that Trump would, with the help of Congress, fulfill his promises of tax reform and infrastructure spending. The lifting of the heavy penalties associated with Obamacare was another hope that investors cherished. Many hailed his victory by declaring that it was “morning in America” again. But after only six months since the election, Trump's presidency has hit a potentially fatal obstacle and he now faces the growing possibility of impeachment.

Stocks, Commodities and Gold Multi-Market Status / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: Gary_Tanashian
It has now been exactly 10 months since we established 2410 as the measured objective for the S&P 500. In forming a potential double top this week at 2405.77 I’d say we are close enough to call the target in (as we did in February when the first top was made on what we called “peak Trump” day, post-congressional address).
Now, a target is not a stop sign; in this case it was a long-term objective based on a chart pattern, period. It could make me look like the genius I certainly am not, or it could just pause at the target on its way to further upside mania and a potential market blow off. Don’t let ’em baffle you with bullshit, nobody knows which of those, or whatever else may be in store.

Stock Market Profiting from the Unexpected News / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Rodney_Johnson
Every weekday morning I roll out of bed just before 5 a.m.I sleepwalk to the kitchen, where my coffee-maker on a timer has just finished brewing, and reach for a much-needed cup. Then I flip on the television, and switch between local news and either CNBC or Bloomberg.
As I hate myself every single day for rising so early to exercise, I take note of the weather, any craziness that happened overnight in the Houston area, and the current trends in futures and interest rates.

By: Harry_Dent
Tuesday morning, the Dow was just 27 points away from 21,000 again!How can anyone believe this is NOT a bubble?!
Nobel Laureate and economist Robert Shiller developed the best valuation indicator I’ve seen. His cyclically adjusted price-earnings ratio is known as the Shiller P/E, or CAPE.

Credit and Volatility Signal That Financial Conditions Are Very Overheated / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : Around the summer of 2006, when I was at Lehman Brothers, I started bellyaching in my notes to clients about how the market went up every day.
I am a pretty creative guy, so every day I had very colorful (and irreverent) things to say about how stocks went relentlessly higher and how my life sucked.

Another Stock Market "Minsky Moment" or Will the Markets Calm Down? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
The chart show the best interpretation of yesterday’s decline. The SPX futures declined another 13 points before bouncing early this morning. It has regained about half of the overnight loss. As it stands, this would be an irregular correction, where Wave [c] does not meet the top of Wave [a]. Although unlikely, it is still possible that SPX could bounce back to the 50-day Moving Average at 2369.62.

Stock Market Blood Bath from the Get-Go / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an extreme turn-around day today. The day started out with a plunge at the get-go, the futures going sharply lower based on the Trump news, they had a very brief five or ten-minute bounce, and then came down hard and plunged again. By late morning, the market formed bear wedges after rallying back, but could not sustain, and rolled over hard in the afternoon. Late in the afternoon, they formed bear flags, and went even lower. The indices completed a five-wave decline at the end of the day, finishing sharply lower.

SPX Gapped Beneath its Trendline / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
At critical times I check the daily against the hourly and 2-hour charts. To my surprise, the Diagonal trendline had drifted lower than it should have. I have corrected it because I had discovered that on the daily chart the SPX gap down had opened beneath the trendline! That suggests that the potential retracements may not go back above trendline resistance near 2390.00.

Stock Market Support/resistance Broken. Probable Aggressive SPX Sell Signal / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX gapped down to 2380.72, beneath the probable Wave [b] low. There is likely to be an attempt to fill the gap, a mighty undertaking at this level. I would rate this morning’s decline as an aggressive sell signal, subject to some blowback. A partial short entry may be advisable.

Stock Market NDX Reached New All-Time High / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a mini volatile session as they opened sharply high, came down sharply, held support, rallied sharply midday, pulled back in the afternoon, and closed very sharply on the Nasdaq 100, reaching new all-time highs. Although the S&P 500 was dissimilar in that it made two consecutive lower highs verses the Nasdaq 100 making two higher highs, that was decidedly negative divergence. We’ll see whether or whether not that plays out tomorrow.

Will the SPX Stock Market Final Surge Fail to Appear? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The Wave structure on the left is a likely scenario on how the SPX may play out. This morning’s decline appears to be Wave c of (iv). Wave (v) may now be underway. As far as Wave relationships go, Wave [c] equals Wave [a] at 2405.86, while Wave (v) equals Wave (i) at 2410.24. Wave 5 equals Wave 1 at 2415.05. Cycle Top resistance on the hourly chart is at 2413.67. That gives us a range in which SPX may reverse course.

The Final Probe in SPX May be Underway / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures are higher, suggesting the final probe to the top may be underway. At the moment, 2415.05 appears to be a reasonable target. Although May 26-29 appears to be the time target for the Master Cycle low, another important Cyclical anniversary is coming up. June 6, 2017 (2017.43) happens to be exactly 17.2 years from the March 24, 2000 (2000.230) high of 1553.11. Cycles are not always exact. For example, 8.6 years from the March 24, 2000 high was October 29, 2008. The 2008 low occurred on November 21, exactly 17 market days later. We are within 15 market days of the June 6 anniversary, so the top may happen at any time. Can it stretch to June 6? Possibly, yes. However, SPX is very late in the current Master Cycle.

SPX is higher, but the VIX is not beaten / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
A new high has been made. My best analysis suggests that it is a Wave [c] that is not yet finished. Wave Equality calculations at the minute [] level suggest it may end at 2415.05. At the Minor level, Wave equality may reach as high as 2437.41. The 2-hour Cycle Top is currently at 2412.07, suggesting the lower level may suffice.
