By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX Pre-Market calls for a higher open. However overhead resistance in the form of the hourly Cycle Bottom awaits at 1784.98. This bounce may not last.

Emerging Markets Crisis or Media Hysteria? / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: PhilStockWorld
Courtesy of Doug Short: Emerging markets have been hemorrhaging this year and are now grabbing media attention. However, as the charts show, the decline in these markets and currencies has been taking place for some time now and is certainly not a sudden development. Question is: does the drop in these markets now present a real emerging threat to the rest of the globe, especially the stock markets of major developed economies? Let’s take a look…

Stock Market Nasty Down Day with Negative Technicals / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices suffered another nasty session, except for theTheTechTrader.com, which looked good and channeled up nicely. That includes some of the natural gas ETFs, particularly the UGAZ. But the day was an ugly one.
The day started out with a gap down, and then 3-wave corrective move to fill the declining topsline, and then they rolled over again in a 3-wave plunge. They took out the lows slightly, then snapped back after the FOMC, by came down again into the close.

Fed Tapers.... Stock Market Falls.... Short-Term Positive Divergences In Place.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jack_Steiman
Well, it was an interesting day. I don't think anyone would argue that. The market went up a 12 handle last night on the S&P 500 futures when they announced a rate hike. I have no idea why a rate hike would spike our market to such a degree but it did. By the time we woke up this morning that green 12 was a red 12 handle. The market was not in the mood for anything to the upside with complacency trying to work itself off now. We gapped down hard and then blasted back higher after drifting back down fairly hard.

Is U.S. Fed Responsible for Emerging Markets Crisis? / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: Axel_Merk
From the bully pulpits in São Paulo to the blogosphere in cyberspace, the Fed is blamed for the turmoil in Emerging Markets (EM). That’s a bit like blaming McDonald’s for obesity. Blaming others won’t fix the problems in EM economies, it won’t fix investors’ portfolios and it is an unlikely way to lose weight. Investors and policy makers need to wake up and realize that they are in charge of their own destiny. Let us explain:

How Does This Stocks Bull Market Rank Against Past 100 Years Rallys? / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: PhilStockWorld
Courtesy of Doug Short: Today’s chart of the day is a simple analysis using Prof. Robert Shillers stock market data to look at where the current stock market rally exists in relation to previous market rallies following either cyclical or secular bear market corrections. I have analyzed the data using both nominal and real (inflation adjusted) prices.
If we look at nominal market prices going back to 1900, we find that the current rally of 135.23% (as of January 27th close) ranks as the 7th longest rally in history. As shown in the chart below the current rally ranks behind the 1920-29 market bubble, the post-WWII bull market and the “tech boom” of the 90′s.

The Hottest Investable Market on Earth 2014 / Stock-Markets / Investing 2014
By: Money_Morning
China has been dominating the headlines in recent days.
And not in a good way.
Since late last week, worries about slowing growth, financial-system shenanigans and the potential for an “Asian-Contagion” type spillover have whacked global stocks – and have left folks wondering if the “China Miracle” is over.
But China’s kind of like a still-young tech venture: There are going to be reversals, it’s going to be volatile, and it’s normal to expect this kind of whipsaw market action.

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
A Very Chilly Good Morning!
I don’t know whether it is because of the -30 degree wind chill or some other problem, but a lot of things don’t work this morning, including my cable internet.

By: Marty_Chenard
Friday was a scary down day for many and Market fear was in the air.
But the Fed may still have one shot to hold the market from a bad day today. That hope comes from the support line on the New York Stock Exchange Index (NYA).

When Bubbles Bite - Debt Rattle 2014 / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: Raul_I_Meijer
I guess I may be getting myself in a bit of a jam here, since I posted no Debt Rattle yesterday, but did do the Daily Links, and I do have things to say about some of those. For instance, I think it’s a big piece of news to see Stephen Hawking say black holes don’t exist, and I also think that Mish’s line “Bubbles burst when the pool of greater fools runs out” is important to note, certainly in view of recent events. So this will be a lightly longer Debt Rattle, in all likelihood. I’ll just get started, and let’s see where this goes. Please do note that present bubbles in finance have an incestuous releationship with those in energy: when one pops, the other starts biting.

Stock Market Heading Lower / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Gregor_Horvat
A sharp fall down to 1783 on Friday suggests that the S&P is heading lower now in wave 4. Wave 4 is a corrective leg so this can be only a temporary weakness but we still need three legs down, (a)-(b)-(c), before we may turn bullish again. Ideally a three wave pattern will find a support around 1740/55 area.

Gold Improving Bullish Sentiment, Could Witness Stock Market Bloodbath / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2014
By: Clive_Maund
Gold's technical picture has improved since the last bullish update just over a month ago, but it has still not broken out the intermediate downtrend that started back last August, which we can see drawn on the 8-month chart shown below.
On Friday the gold price arrived at a short-term target at the upper boundary of the downtrend, which is a good point for it to turn down again, especially as its moving averages are still in bearish alignment, and world markets have started to tank, which was predicted on the 2nd January on the site in the article, more about which later. If it does turn down again shortly bulls will want to see continued basing action above its lows of last June and July, and December leading to an upside breakout from this downtrend.

Stock Market Anticipated Intermediate Decline Has Started / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Andre_Gratian
Current Position of the Market
SPX: Very Long-term trend - The very-long-term cycles are in their down phases, and if they make their lows when expected (after this bull market is over), there will be another steep decline into late 2014. However, the Fed policy of keeping interest rates low has severely curtailed the full downward pressure potential of the 40-yr and 120-yr cycles.
Intermediate trend - The anticipated decline into late February has started.

Robert Prechter's The Next Big Drop Stock Market Warning / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: EWI
On January 24, the DJIA, S&P and NASDAQ all lost close to two percent. On a day like that, it's worth talking about the one indicator they don't often mention on financial networks - namely, market sentiment.
When is the best time to get out of the stock market? When everyone else is invested and extremely optimistic. When is the best time to buy, then? Exactly: when you see the opposite sentiment.

Another Big Stock Market Slide on Global Growth Jitters / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: Jesse
"There was a strange temper in the air. Unsatisfied by material prosperity, the nations turned fiercely toward strife, internal or external. National passions unduly exalted in the decline of religion, burned beneath the surface of every land with fierce if shrouded fires. Almost one might think the world wished to suffer. Certainly men everywhere were eager to dare." -

Stock Market Crash - Dow Crashes 450 in 2 Days / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: WavePatternTraders
Anyone reading that headline would think it's some sort of surprise to most traders that the markets crashed 450 points in 2 days, but for us a wavepatterntraders.com we have been looking for a reversal in the markets for a few weeks and it was only a matter of time before things reversed. So it's no surprise to us, it was expected and I expect much more if a top is in place.
Is this the start of the large move lower that I am expecting? Well to answer that question honestly, it's too early to say, but regardless of the answer, what we can say for sure is that if it is the start of something sinister, we will be riding it lower.

Forecast 2014 - The Second Most Expensive Stock Market in the World / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2014
By: John_Mauldin
South Africa's Cape of Good Hope is one of the most dangerous stretches of coastline anywhere in the world, where the warm Agulhas Current (also called the Mozambique Current), rushing down from the Indian Ocean, meets the cold Benguela Current, pushing up from Antarctica. The difference in water temperatures alone is a recipe for legendary storms, but the two opposing ocean currents just so happen to converge where the African Continental Shelf drops off into a deep abyss.
