Jan 25th – Even More Hope Ahead?

After avoiding the stormy waters of the sell off in October through December, we had the hope of a nice rally out of the ICL , and some good trading opportunities presented themselves.  I have mentioned the importance of watching how the first daily cycle unfolds, and especially the 2nd daily cycle.  Well, we have […]

Jan 24th – Swim At Your Own Risk

When a Red Flag shows up on the beach, it means that for some reason, it is unsafe to swim in those waters. Well, after 3 nice weeks of gains  in the Oil & Energy sector, I am still seeing a Red Flag in those waters. As mentioned in yesterdays report, Oil itself still looks […]

Jan 23rd – Wednesday

    SPX – Day 17 has us in the middle of a move out of an ICL, and it is overbought.  The short term move gets difficult to predict from this point, since it could dip to a 1/2 cycle low and then continue higher, or it may just churn sideways along the 50sma […]

Jan 19th Big Picture – Is That Etched In Stone?

Jan 17th – Thursday Markets Await

      SPX – We still have a wedge that has formed. These usually break down, so with the SPX at the 50sma and a wedge, I would think that we may pull back for a few days.   That could be a 1/2 cycle low and it is not uncommon…

Tuesday Jan 15th – No Big Changes

Jan 12th Weekend Review

This is the weekend report, where we can monitor the progress that the various sectors of the market have made, and what we may expect going forward.   Since I give a more detailed day to day update in the daily reports,  I often focus  mainly on the Big Picture in the weekend reports by using […]
