The market started the week at SPX 2110. A gap up opening took the SPX to 2130 on Monday, the high for the week. Then the market pulled back every day, including Friday, to end the week at SPX 2102. For the week the SPX/DOW were -0.4%, the NDX/NAZ were -0.7%, and the DJ World index was +0.1%. Economics reports for the week were mostly positive. On the uptick: existing/new home sales, personal income/spending, FHFA prices, the PCE, consumer sentiment, the WLEI, and Q1 GDP improved. On the downtick: durable goods, plus weekly jobless claims rose. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by Payrolls, the Chicago PMI and ISM manufacturing. Best to your week!

Stocks and the Slippery Roads For the Rickshaw Economy / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jesse
Stocks were weak Thursday on the 'better than expected' consumer spending number.
Jobs remain weak, despite the spin about The Recovery™.
There are jobs that will provide a poverty wage, and workers are increasingly insecure in an on-demand, rickshaw economy.

Greece and Stock Market Divergences.......Transports Ugly.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The market was gapping down just a drop heading in to the trading day. Nothing to get upset about but, then came the news many didn't want to hear. Talks regarding Greece breaking down, which is not unexpected. The futures fell further still and down we went. Gap down and run for the most part. Not a terrible day by any means. Not a bearish day big picture by any means, but it was a decent down-day with Greece being one part of the equation along with negative short-term divergences being the other culprit. They were pretty large, and, thus, some selling could have been expected.

China Stocks: Where Have They Been and Where are They Going? / Stock-Markets / China Stocks
By: EWI
Historians have aptly named the 20th century the "American Century." THIS century, many experts agree, will belong to China. In Q1 of 2015 alone, the Shanghai Composite stock index gained 16%. And over the prior 12 months, it had gained 84%.

Dow Stock Index Decline / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Ed_Carlson
Equities markets have a tendency to change direction following options expiration. Given equities rallied into the end of last week, a downturn can now be expected. It may have started last Friday or perhaps markets will sneak in one final rally on "hope" of a positive outcome from this week's meeting of European leaders on the Greece problem. Either way, a decline is expected. The only question is "how long will it last?"

Greece / Stock Market Played Like a Bouzouki / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jesse
We have a deal!
No really. This time we do have a deal. Uh, we think.
And the cry went forth, and Very Serious People breathed a sigh of relief, the Greek people continued to take their euros out of the banks, and the markets rallied. Again.

Stock Market is on a Hair Trigger / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The Ending Diagonal does not appear to be complete. Micro Wave c of Sub-minute Wave (v) must push higher. The target listed this morning still appears to be reasonable, given the circumstances. If so, this will be the top of Wave (5). I will change it as I see the progress of this (final) rally.

Stock Market Bullish Pattern Still With Us....Greece Still With Us As Well..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The S&P 500 bulls had their hopes lit up this morning. Actually, for those who follow these things, those hopes were lit up last night as soon as the futures came out. They were flying up pretty nicely giving the bulls visions of saying so long to S&P 500 2134. Those futures went higher still as night progressed but fell some before the open. With the close on the S&P 500 at 2110 Friday, there was a lot of work for the bulls to do to get it over 2134. We came within a few points of that, only to see it back off some as the day progressed. Another good old college try that just didn't happen. An up-day, but not a breakout day, so there's still not much to get overly pumped up about, even though other areas are trying to break out, such as the small and mid-cap stocks.

If the Fed continues to intervene and prevents the correction then we will almost certainly have an 87 style crash this fall.

Stock Market Monday Big Drop? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
It looks as though the US stock market could plunge Monday. We have Saturn Semi-Sq. Pluto while Saturn is in Scorpio and while Jupiter is trine Uranus. On the cycle front we have a Gann cycle low due Monday while we also have a Bradley turn date. The Armstrong Pi Cycle suggests a panic week for the Dow Industrials (which by my reckoning should occur on Monday).Read full article... Read full article...

Global Stock Markets in Self-Perpetuating Denial / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Michael E. Lewitt writes: The central bank circus was on full display this week as the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee held a two-day meeting only to emerge with another mind-numbing series of excuses for keeping interest rates at zero when the economy is not in crisis.
One such claim was that inflation (as measured by economists) is insufficiently high, despite the fact that the price of real-world goods and services (including gasoline again) are steadily rising. The Fed stated that it's afraid raising interest rates – for the first time in nine years and by all of 25 basis points – could send the economy into a tailspin. That isn't only bad policy, it is pathetic.

Markets - All Eyes on New Highs / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015
By: Andy_Sutton
SPX
In the last report I was looking for a bit more downside, then setup for a move higher. http://www.wavepatterntraders.com/all-eyes-on-new-highs-part-ii/
For the best part that's exactly what we saw, with the rally late last week it should now setup for a move higher now for the final piece to this suspected ending diagonal that has been in progress from the Oct 2014 lows. Whilst there is a way to count the pattern completed, based on the recent sideways chop, I favor more upside and make a new high above 2134.

Shanghai China Stocks Sink: Déjà vu 2001 & 2007…All Over Again / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: I_M_Vronsky
What is occurring today in China’s Shanghai Stock Index can best be described by Yogi Berra’s famous line: “Déjà vu 2001 & 2007…All Over Again.”
Almost 85% of China-listed companies are trading at higher multiples today than they did at the previous market top in 2007…just before the crash.

Investor Tactics to Profit from the Greek Debt Crisis / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: There's a lot being written about the Greek debt crisis right now. It's scary, it's problematic, and, for the most part, almost totally unusable for the average investor.
That's completely unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.
So I thought we'd take a good hard look at what you actually need to know, then move on to three tactics that can help you capitalize on the situation. And I don't just mean by single digits, either.

Stock Market Important Week Ahead Medium-term / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Tony_Caldaro
Very interesting week. The week started off at SPX 2094. On Monday the market gapped down, hit the low for the week at SPX 2072, which was last week’s low, and then started to rally. By Wednesday, after a gap up opening, the SPX hit 2104. It then pulled back to SPX 2089, rallied to a higher high before the close, then gapped up again on Thursday. By Thursday noon the SPX had hit 2127. It then pulled back for the rest of the week ending at SPX 2110. For the week the SPX/DOW were +0.7%, the NDX/NAZ were +1.3%, and the DJ World index was +0.3%. On the economic front reports again came in with a positive bias. On the uptick: the NAHB, building permits, the CPI, the Philly FED, leading indicators, the WLEI, plus weekly jobless claims improved. On the downtick: the NY FED, industrial production, capacity utilization and housing starts. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by Q1 GDP, the PCE, and more reports on housing.

Stock Market SPX is Losing Its Grip / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX is going through with the reversal as mentioned yesterday. It is difficult to say whether there will be a bounce at the 50-day Moving Average at 2106.02. The deterioration of the situation in Greece may not be able to give us the “good news” needed to spark a bounce this time.
