The Rebound in Stocks Won't Last / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Michael_Pento

After taking a beating in January the S&P 500 has rebounded by about 5% in February, and this uptrend has continued into March. But before you think it's safe to jump back into long positions, it's important to realize why the market went down in the first place, and why February's rebound won't last.

Stock Market SPX Index Below Key Supports / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

The SPX Premarket declined beneath the 2-hour Cycle Top at 1994.33 and the weekly mid-Cycle support at 1993.04 this morning.

ZeroHedge Reports, “In the aftermath of last week's disappointing G-20 Shanghai summit, there was much riding on this weekend's start of the China's People's Congress, and specifically what if any stimulus announcement Beijing will make; sadly for stimulus addicts Chinadisappointed and after the unimaginative scope of growth proposals none of which it will come remotely close to hitting, it is hardly surprising that European stocks and US equity futures have taken a leg lower, even if Chinese stocks rose and certain commodities such as Iron Ore soared overnight on hopes China will either "rationalize" capacity or at least build some more roads to nowhere. Others, such copper were less lucky.”

SP500 Stock Market Index Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: David_Petch

Interesting charts to present today with the S&P 500 Index, which is probably a better market to follow to reflect global economy. As we are all aware, the US Dollar still remains the reserve currency of the US Dollar and with that privilege, it extends into the US stock market. As uncertainties build around the globe, money will look for a home...it may not be the prettiest home, but it is likely the securest.

Facebook TOP Formation - Stock Market Crash Condition Signal Recorded / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Crash

By: Dr_David_J_Harris

This article presents an analysis of Facebook stock price. The novel mathematical technique adopted here is an exciting new way to analyze price movement.

• A new market timing technique has been developed by the author to identify significant top and bottom events in price movement.
• The new market timing tool shows that Facebook has a single 14 week window of opportunity from late January to late April for a significant top to be recorded in 2016.
• An additional mathematical model has been developed by the author to predict and identify stock market bubbles and crashes.
• The bubble identification model shows a current score of 96% for Facebook indicating that the top of the bubble has been reached or is close at hand, and a crash condition is now in effect.
• The model predicts that all bubbles must deflate back to the point where the bubble started to grow, which will mean a drop of at least 30% to 50% for Facebook over coming months.
• This technique was originally used to successfully identify the top of Apple Inc. and has also been used to propose a recent US stock market top in late Spring 2015.

Gold Has Topped, Higher Highs Expected in the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Brad_Gudgeon

The SPX 8 TD top was due Thursday and we are in the mid band of the Sun translation to Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter on Friday (TD 9). This reversal band has a 10 TD reversal time frame from March 4th, which points to March 18 (OPEX) as the latest we could see a top in the stock market. My chart and indicators corroborates a March 18th top and an early April first low. The 16 TD low is due Monday, so a pullback Monday would not surprise me and we could go as low as 1959 to as high as the 1971/82 area.  A 76 point rally from Monday into Wednesday looks likely. June looks likely to be a nesting of lows for the next move down and then late October after that.

Stocks About To Collapse Or Rally To All-Time Highs? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: InvestingHaven

It really is as black-and-white for stock markets: stocks will either collapse in a 2008-alike fashion or shine soon at all-time highs, at least that is what our data points are telling us. Let’s review our key indicators in order to forecast which scenario is playing out right now.

By: Graham_Summers

What a different four weeks makes.

Four weeks ago, the S&P 500 had just taken out critical support. Everyone was panicking that the market was about to implode.

Stocks Bear Market Rally Nearly Over / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Tony_Caldaro

The week started at SPX 1948. On Monday the market rallied to SPX 1958, then sold off to 1932 by the close. Tuesday, however, kicked off a rally with a gap up opening that carried the market to SPX 2009 by Friday afternoon. Then after a pullback to SPX 1993 the market closed 2000. For the week the SPX/DOW gained 2.45%, the NDX/NAZ gained 2.50%, and the DJ World index gained 4.0%. On the economic front reports again came in negatively biased again. On the uptick: construction spending, ISM manufacturing, the ADP, factory orders, monthly payrolls and the GDPn. On the downtick: the Chicago PMI, pending home sales, auto sales, ISM services, the WLEI, plus the trade deficit and weekly jobless claims increased. Next week two FED speeches on tap Monday, then the ECB meets on Thursday.

Stock Market VIX Short-Term Bottoming Candle?....Bullish Big Picture / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

So many questions. Not sure I have all the answers you're looking for, but we can do our best to try and understand what's taking place. The VIX has been in a stealth down trend off the top. Other than the occasional up day, it had not had the classic gap-down day that turned hollow at the end of the day.

Stock Market Pop-n-drop is Probable...or Maybe just a Drop / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Good Morning!

As mentioned last night, the algos took the SPX futures to 2002.50 before rolling over. This appears to be the final probe of the rally. Although the Premarket may currently show a positive number, chances are that the market may open in the red.

The only reason that I can give for this final surge is that the 61.8% retracement level is 1999.44.

Stock Market Technicals Stay Strong Despite Early Morning Dip / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Harry_Boxer

The stock market indices had a really good session, even though they were down in the morning, and looked like they could be breaking, especially the Nasdaq 100. Both the advance-decline and up/down volume were very strong, even during the down part of the session. It led me to believe we would get a rally, and we did, taking the S&P 500 to new highs, but the Nasdaq 100 closed down on the day.

SPX Breaks its First Support / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX just broke its 2-hour Cycle Top at 1980.09, suggesting an end to this swing rally. It is now in a retracement back above that support. When it is broken a second time this may be a good aggressive short entry for any dry powder at hand. Confirmation may not come until SPX declines beneath its 50-day Moving Average at 1937.03. However, the decline has the potential to be massive, so take your best shot.

Stocks Follow Crude Oil Price Higher Towards New All Time Highs 2016 - Video / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The Dow's latest surge higher has put the stocks index within 3% of setting a new high for 2016, so it's not looking like it's going well for the bears who at least into early February were proclaiming that the Great Bear Market Apocalypse was upon us. Instead for the past couple of weeks or so have been increasingly going silent, into hibernation. Though I have to give it to the perma bears, those who have been wrong for the longest are still out there pumping out bear market and crash rhetoric of 30%, 40% even more than a 50% drops!

Stock Market Refusing To Fall....Sentiment Peeking Above Zero For Spread.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

The market got a plethora of happy news yesterday, which began with China's central bank deciding it was time for yet another stimulus program. In addition, we heard Mr. Draghi of the Euro zone promise more help on the stimulus front, and lastly we had a better than expected, although still contracting, ISM Manufacturing Report. A triple play of good market news.

SPX Rally Curbed by the Trendline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Each successive high has been stopped multiple times at the Broadening Flag trendline. Wave (c) of [y] consists of 17 waves, which is a very extended impulsive wave.

Tomorrow is day 43 from the January 20 low, a Primary Cycle Pivot day. It appears that we may have our Primary Cycle top after all, but measured from a prior low instead of the February 11 low.
