How Investors Are Impacted By The Central Banking Bubble / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble

By: InvestingHaven

Bubbles are not new. The tulip mania, for instance, peaked some 400 years ago. Interestingly, there is one common characteristic about bubbles: that they are considered ‘normal’ during the bubble but ‘abnormal’ after their implosion.

Nowadays, it seems that the whole world has accepted zero (even negative) interest rates. Media and your friends write about negative interest rates as if that is nothing special, and people do not have make a point about it. Never in history, at least not in regular times (non-war), have interest rates been negative. Does this sound like a bubble?

E-Wave Says BIG Down in Stock Market June 24th / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Brad_Gudgeon

The chart below of the S&P 500 suggests a move down to around 2041/42 early Friday, June 24 or about 3% down from today’s high near 2107. The e-wave astro/cycle pattern also suggests a strong move back up into Tuesday, June 28 to perhaps as high as 2121/22.  By July 5th, a move into the low 1900’s is possible.

Everybody is focusing on the BREXIT, so the outcome, whatever it will be, will likely be the blame for the coming volatility. We shall soon find out. It is 12:30 CDT as I write this. I still see new highs by October 3rd.

Stock Market Waiting for the Reversal / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX has made a measured move, so far. The rally from the 2050.37 low has taken 34 hours. Another .4 hours would make it divisible by 4.3. you can see that the volume is low, so there is little participation or short covering.

Stock Market Fluctuates on Concerns Ahead of Brexit / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market indices had a very volatile session, first starting off with a little bit of a dip, then a strong rally to test Monday’s highs, and when they were unable to take those out they came down in a strong midday decline, but snapped back early afternoon. However, that failed to take hold, but it was just a retest. The indices then had a 5-wave decline into the close, finishing near the session lows, just bouncing right off them into the close.

Late Morning Brexit Poll Kills Earlier Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

It is normal for markets to drift higher ahead of an important news event. Hope trumps fear most of the time in this crazy game. I think it's about most folks thinking the worst case scenario won't happen. That intervention will take over right at the end and keep things status quo. It seems impossible in the minds of the masses that something terrible can actually occur since the world banks, etc are always doing something to make sure nothing all that bad takes place.

Trading BrExit - Stocks, Bonds, Sterling, Opinion Polls, Bookmaker Odds and My Forecast / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2016

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The EU Referendum according to the opinion polls is too close to call as illustrated by the most recent opinion polls and resulting momentum analysis that literally puts the vote on a knife edge. However the same does not hold true for the bookmakers or financial markets that are apparently assuming that a REMAIN outcome is a done deal which is set against my forecast conclusion for Brexit, from someone who correctly called both the 2015 General Election that the pollsters got so badly wrong and the 2014 Scottish referendum.

Stock Market Just Before the BrExit Vote / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Donald_W_Dony

Though the conversation surrounding the outcome of the EU referendum continues to heat-up, during the last 36 hours, the market has already decided on which side is going to win.

Two key defensive elements, in particular, are pulling back as the final count down unfolds.

The Volatility Index or VIX, after a brief surge in early June, has backed-off and dropped into a more moderate risk level.

Stock Market on Verge of Melt Down? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Brad_Gudgeon

July 5th keeps coming back as an important cycle low for the stock market.  The recent daily Bollinger Bands on the SPX shows increasing constriction, which in the past pointed to a possible melt down, similar to what we saw from August 18-24, 2015.  This time around we have the same 115 TD’s from January 20, 2016 to July 5th that we had from March 11, 2015 to August 24, 2015. July 5th is also an important Bradley turn on a new moon.  Another similar Bradley turn occurs on another new moon November 29, 2016, which I believe will likely be another important low this year.

SPX May Break Its Trendline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX has been climbing the Bearish Flag trendline. It may be broken at 2088.00 should SPX continue its decline today.

It may take another day to decline beneath the 50-day Moving Average. It may accelerate if today’s polls show Brexit gaining strength.

Stock Market Hybrid Lindsay Low: June 27-July 1 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Ed_Carlson

After last week’s failed call for a “relief rally” it becomes harder to accept bullish signals as seen in the McClellan Oscillator this week. There is the possibility of a micro-cycle high on/near Tuesday which gives the possibility of a 1-2 day rally but the next micro-cycle low is due June 29 which matches the Hybrid Lindsay forecast for a low near then which is outlined below.

BrExit Poll Nonsense... Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

We were all waiting for this Brexit situation to come and go this coming Thursday evening. Then a small sample poll was taken late yesterday and it showed a 70% vote in favor of Britain staying. The futures across the world went nuts to the up side. Europe had many countries up over 3%. Some approaching 4%. Amazing what a small poll can bring out in terms of froth. A market that wants higher will use any excuse to rock itself higher. You can also add in Kurota from Japan saying last night that more easing is on the way. None of it has worked, but that won't stop his desperation. The market got enough frothing news to rock itself up, except in the end the candles were weak today.

FTSE Soars, Stock Markets Bounce on LEAVE Polls Surge, Bookmakers Widen BrExit Odds / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The first string of opinion polls following the killing of Labour MP Jo Cox apparently in the name of "Freedom for Britain" or "Britain First" have now swung markedly in REMAINs favour, reversing an earlier LEAVE polls lead with REMAIN now marginally ahead on 45% against LEAVE on 42% with 13% Don't Knows as the following list of recent polls illustrates that until the killing of Jo Cox LEAVE had been in the lead but now have LOST that lead due to the actions of a radicalised right-wing extremist.

Stock Market, Miners Update / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Brad_Gudgeon

Last week was one of our best profit weeks since March. We caught the short in the stock market from June 15 into the 16th and the GDX short into Friday where we went to all cash.  Originally, my thinking was that we would see a June 17th bottom in the stock market, but perhaps as late as July 5th.  Now I’m fairly certain that date is July 5th.  My SPX target is now into the low 1910’s for July 5th.

Bonds And Stocks At All-Time Highs: Are Markets Confused Or Broken? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: InvestingHaven

We observe odd trends in the market, the most important one being Treasuries and stocks both trading near all-time highs. That is definitely not ‘normal’ (whatever that term means nowadays), as bonds stand for ‘risk off’ (a safe haven asset) while stocks are only performing in a ‘risk on’ environment.

Stock Market Inflection Point During Bifurcation / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Tony_Caldaro

The market started the week at SPX 2096. After hitting SPX 2098 in the first hour of trading on Monday the market dropped to 2064 by Tuesday. A rally followed into Wednesday on the FOMC meeting, and the market hit SPX 2086 minutes after the FOMC statement. Then the market pulled back again, gapped down to open Thursday, and hit SPX 2050 before rallying to 2080 into the close. Friday saw a lower open as the market dropped to SPX 2063, then bounced to close the week at 2071. For the week the SPX/DOW were -1.05%, and the NDX/NAZ were -1.90%. Economic reports for the week were again mostly positive. On the downtick: industrial production, capacity utilization, housing starts and weekly jobless claims rose. On the uptick: the NY/Philly FED, the NAHB, building permits, the Q2 GDP est., export/import prices, retail sales, business inventories, and the CPI/PPI. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by FED chair Yellen’s semiannual economic report to Congress, Durable goods orders and more Housing reports.

Nasdaq Underperforming Again....Brexit Is Next Up... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

The most interesting thing to take away from the past two years of going nowhere has been the continued, under-performance of those tech stocks everyone loves to own. For the most, and there have been small periods of exceptions, the Nasdaq has been the place big money doesn't want to go very often. The focus has been on safety plays. Lower risk plays with lower P/E's. Lower valuations over risk simply, because valuations are so out of line with reality. Tech stocks have those higher valuations, and quite often those higher valuations have led to some nasty blood baths.

Stock Market On the Brink? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX made an impulse down and may be finishing the retracement as I write. Instead of the 50-day acting as resistance we now have the mid-Cycle resistance at 2076.32 in its place. Stock options “mature” at 3:00 pm, so there may be a let-down into the close.
