$1.4 Trillion of SPX Notionals Due to Expire / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures are flat going into Quad Witching options expiration. The action is likely to begin in the final minutes before the market opens as traders square away their positions.
ZeroHedge reports, “A quiet start to today's quad-witching St. Patrick's day, with European stocks mixed, Asian shares and U.S. index futures (-0.1%) little changed ahead of industrial production data with just Tiffany's set to report earnings.”

Stock Market Resume Uptrend Or Correct Now? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Gary_Tanashian
Call Me Boring, But… Those who don’t like my writing style may already call me boring (or worse), but as far as stock holdings go I willingly take on that description. If you’re looking for words about yesterday’s FOMC meeting, you won’t find them here. There are plenty of people picking that thing apart and trying to make chicken salad (news) out of chicken shit (a non-event).
I am not going to go on about the precious metals’ big rip yesterday because that is for casino patrons to get excited about. I’ve expected the sector to bounce from oversold conditions. When it takes out real upside parameters (that NFTRH will surely manage) we’ll amp up the hysterics (not really).

US Interest Rates Up Quarter Percent, Stock Market Loved It / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
Fed Yellen raised interest rates a quarter percent today and the stock market loved it. The Nasdaq 100 popped early, and then pulled back, but the S&P 500 kept going up all morning. By midday, just before the FOMC, they pulled back just a little going into that meeting, and then exploded. They pulled back again and rallied sharply. Only at the end of the day did they pull back a little to pare back the profits.

Fanaticism, Stock Market Crash 2017 or Continuation of Bull Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Sol_Palha
Not too long ago this bull market was one of the most hated in history; that no longer appears to be the case. Throughout the unpopular phase of this bull market, we consistently and much to the dismay of many penguins, oops we mean experts, stated that every pullback should have been treated as a buying opportunity. There were two reasons for this; market sentiment was consistently negative, and the trend was up.

By: Clif_Droke
The stock market has once again entered a period of consolidation as investors wait for the results of the most important legislative decision of the year. The fight to repeal and replace Obamacare has taken the spotlight as Congress debates the passage of legislation that would eliminate its most burdensome aspects for businesses and individual taxpayers alike.

SPX Futures are Down this Morning / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
SPX futures are down this morning, but haven’t yet crossed either Short-term support at 2359.10 or the Head & Shoulders neckline at 2355.00. There is still a considerable distance to go. From a timing perspective, the time elapsed between that March 1 high at 2400.98 and the March 10 high at 2376.86 was approximately 45 hours. That is one-half the 12.9-day (90 hour) Cycle that we saw in last January’s decline. Should that observation be correct, it suggests the decline may extend to the close on Monday, March 20.

Stock Market Elliott Wave Target: SPX 2,700 / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Ed_Carlson
Looking at the bull market advance since 2009, we can see at least two options for counting. The options are that wave 3 ended in May'15 (blue) or wave 3 is ongoing (green).
The late 2015 decline certainly looks like a potential wave 4 except that the high earlier in May that year came with a negative divergence in RSI. Third waves usually have a strong RSI reading (like now).

Here's What the Stock Market Could do for the 3rd Time in 17 years / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Michael_Pento
The major averages continue to set record highs, which provides further evidence that Wall Street is becoming more complacent with the growing dichotomy between equity prices and the underlying strength of the U.S. economy. When investors view the Total market cap to GDP ratio, it becomes strikingly clear that economic growth has not at all kept pace with booming stock values in the past few years.

A Review of Stock Market Predictions for 2017— 10 Weeks Later / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Nicholas_Kitonyi
Towards the end of 2016, there was a seemingly unending stream market prediction from legitimate analysts and a host of self-styled experts about where the markets are headed in 2017. Some analysts interpreted the signs to suggest that 2017 will be rewarding for investors and there wasn’t a shortage of analysts who saw reasons to be bearish on the market in 2017.

SPX New Highs Should be Next / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 2383. After a gap down opening on Monday the market declined to SPX 2355 by Thursday. Then a gap up opening on Friday carried the SPX to 2377, before ending the week at 2373. For the week the SPX/DOW lost 0.45%, and the NDX/NAZ were mixed. Economic reports for the week were mixed. On the downtick: consumer credit, wholesale inventories, the WLEI, the Q1 GDP estimate, plus weekly jobless claims and the trade deficit increased. On the uptick: factory orders, the ADP, export/import prices, monthly payrolls, plus the unemployment rate and budget deficit declined. Next week the FOMC meets, and there are reports on industrial production, housing, the CPI/PPI, retail sales, plus its options expiration Friday. Best to your week!

Seven Bowls – Current Threat - Personal & Financial Protection Shield / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Although finance & economics are the primary themes for the Hat Trick Letter and its related research, it is impossible to ignore the reality of widespread coordinated aggravated attempts to destroy our lovely blue orb, planet Earth. The globalists are hell-bent on ruining the entire biosphere for the home to humanity. Gold & Silver might be the best protection for the financial and economic deterioration, if not destruction, as individuals and financial entities work to ensure the preservation of their assets. However, Gold & Silver should be part of any concerted effort toward preparedness in emergency supply. The Jackass has diverted in this one article instance from the primary newsletter themes in order to warn people about the threat to the entire human species. The common theme among the perpetrators is the Satanism practiced by the Western Elite, who are gradually being exposed for their pedophilia and child sacrifice rituals. Their symbols are all through the corporate signposts, from Proctor & Gamble to HSBC and much deeper.

Warnings Posted by European Stock Market Indices / Stock-Markets / European Stock Markets
By: Harry_Dent
Most people watch the FTSE 100, the leading index in the UK, and the German DAX. The former was the first major index in Europe to make a new all-time high as investors rewarded it for Brexit instead of punishing it, counter to expectations. The latter is finally within spitting distance of making a new high. It just needs to rally another 3%.Read full article... Read full article...

Bounce in SPX, TNX and USD / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX futures are mixed this morning. There is a better than even probability that SPX may rally to the potential targets (2380.00 to 2384.00) outlined yesterday afternoon. The reason why is that the Cycle has completed only 29 hours thus far. It must complete 30.1 hours. That gives us a potential rally until 10:00 am. Otherwise yesterday’s afternoon action counts as a horizontal correction. These formations are rare and must be taken with a grain of salt. However, the ensuing decline may provide us with more opportunities to see this phenomenon.
