Timing

It certainly looks obvious that various sectors are starting what could be a significant decline.  I pointed out the VIX and the elephant in the room last week, indicating that one should be coming, it was just a matter of time.  Lets look at the charts ...

In this chart of the VIX I was pointing out that tops (maybe just temporary ones) often started with the Vix in the 12-14 area. It also did a reversal Friday

$VIX  

So this is what has transpired...

There’s A Chance There Is A Change

I was away from my desk Friday and upon returning to the charts on Monday, I am seeing some changes that I want to discuss. Lets start with our regular  market review. Lets take several views of the markets,  both bullish and bearish,  while remember that  ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM discussed here last week.

SPX

SPX 5-22

But we keep this in mind too as we remember that Elephant in the room...

Elephant In The Room

Can we talk about the elephant in the room for a minute? Not the one seen above, I'm actually talking about the one below . Notice how the Trannies sideways move has lost strength & momentum.

IYT-  Zoom in and see the break down in the IYT

How can this be in such a strong market. Buy the dip mode is in full force, right?

Public Post – Energy on the Move

WTIC-  I have mentioned all along that a drop to test the break out could come.   The 50sma is in that area.  OIL has been strong, and  it did start to dip.  Click on the chart & look closely, It is at recent consolidation lows, but could drop further. $WTIC 5-19s Read More

More Shaking?

I want to review the market moves from yesterday and their possible implications.  WIth that I am  also keeping in mind the FOMC minutes will be released at 2 p.m. Eastern today. That has the possibility of shaking things up at times.

My SPX thoughts are bullish, as shown in yesterdays chart. The SPX 'paused' yesterday after breaking to new highs.

SPX 5-19

That said,  I want to point something out that could weigh on the markets too...

Under Various Circumstances

What happens if I am conditioned to see an egg sink in water, and then I see one float?  I think that I would want to try to understand what the difference is.  What has caused this change.  Sometimes in the markets we also get accustomed to seeing something occur, but when the opposite happens, I like to try to understand what has changed. We'll discuss this later in this report, for now...

The SPX has broken to new highs! If this pattern plays out, it has room to run.

SPX 5-19  

Look at this next chart below ,  and compare it with the SPX.  I posted this April 29 and you saw what happened

Running With The Bulls?

The  DJIA, SPX and NASDAQ have basically been in a sideways move through most of 2015, as seen in the chart below.  Despite the sideways action, there have been many Bullish set ups and even Bullish action in some of the beaten down sectors . The good news is that it doesn't look like it is about to end now. Lets look at some charts and discuss this further...

DJIA-  Jan -May was rather sideways

DJIA

We have discussed sideways consolidations in the past and how they can lead to some nice trending moves when they finally break free...

Are There Storms On The Horizon?

As I have discussed in previous reports,  I am seeing some really bullish set ups in some Sectors, and some interesting moves in other sectors, but  still I have to wonder if there could be future storms rolling in within the equity markets?   Lets look at some charts...

The NASDAQ re-gained the 50sma, but is still weakish.  Look at that MACD.  We need a burst higher soon.

NAZ 5-12

Lets look at the SPX...
