Friday – Aprils 6ths Futures

April 6, 2018 /200 Comments/in /by

I am going to release this report at 1 A.M. Eastern,  so by the time many wake up, the futures could be recovering, about the same, or getting worse.    Did anyone in your house wake up looking like this Theme Picture when they saw the futures?   This was the Midnight Eastern time view of the Futures. I got just a couple of emails.  What does it mean?

  Well,  I'm here to say 2 things...

1.  It could get a lot better or a lot worse before the Markets open with any news released before then ( Sorry for the cold comfort), but...

2.  I do have what I think is some good news, so please read on ...

Thursday April 5th- One By One

April 5, 2018 /135 Comments/in /by

Todays report is more like a progress report.  By now, we all should know what we have been looking for, let's take a look and see if,  One By One, we have made some progress.  Spoiler alert: We have 🙂 .

 

SPX - We have day 34 as the low at this point,. In the morning we saw a gap down and buying brought it back above the 200smaand even above the 10sma.  This was a swing low on day 2.

Wednesday April 4th- The View Near The Bottom

April 4, 2018 /179 Comments/in /by

I'm going to start this report with a quick view of the Markets in general, and then I have PART 2 of  "What am I watching for during this correction".

 

SPX -  Our daily cycle count is either day 35 and one more drop to come, or the low is in place and Tuesday was day 1.  Another drop would be expected, it can give us the normal 'shake out' at the 200sma and shake off the early buy the dips  people again.    2638.30 is the upside number to put a swing in place, but let me show you a few other charts backing up the thought that we are at least near the lows ...

Tuesday, April 3rd – A Look At Some Future Ideas

April 3, 2018 /83 Comments/in /by

This is going to be a relatively short report, with some market coverage and some charts of individual stocks too.  The reason is that honestly,  our expectations  from the very long weekend report and last week have not changed with Mondays action.  Let's take a look...

 

SPX -  We now have a day 34 Low.  Our cycle count for this daily cycle is maturing, we will be looking for the next DCL  or an ICL to arrive soon.  The Feeb Lows were not taken out at this point. Reminder:  If we are to  drop into an ICL, that drop  can cascade sharply, so I have been admonishing the readers here that we wait patiently wait with Cash for a DCL.  A recovery here could become a 'shake out" in the 200sma.

Another Big Picture View

April 1, 2018 /73 Comments/in /by

We usually do a Big Picture view on the weekend report, but we leave more of the short term details to the daily reports.  In this weekend report, the Big Picture may take on a bit more importance.  Why? Because as March ended,  along with the daily details of the Mid week reports,  we now have the end of the Week, the end of The Month of March,  and The End of the 1st Quarter of the year.

So let's take a BIG PICTURE view along with a few close up daily charts and see if anything stands out...

One Day Reversal

March 27, 2018 /86 Comments/in /by

 

SPX FROM THE WEEKEND REPORT - This looked like a likely area to get a reversal, and after Monday we do have one in place.  Question is,  is it a Solid new low, or Just a bounce?

 

It may just be a good bounce, but it also may be a good bounce that is just another temporary bounce into the final low. Let me show you a few things

March 24- Weekend Report

March 24, 2018 /97 Comments/in /by

 

SPX - The SPX is near the 200sma, and this was where I said that I would begin to look for clues of a bottoming process  ( long term or short term will be determined later). Will this do a quick shake out?  Maybe, we are on day 29 of this daily cycle, but lets take a look at a few of my indicators.

So this is what I also found...

March 23 – Fridays Trading

March 23, 2018 /78 Comments/in /by

 

 

DJIA   - The DOW was down 724, and THAT is scaring a lot of people.  We have been expecting this and so far, it is what it is.  At this point I am looking at us on day 27,  markets can fall further,  watch for support at the 200sma.  It CAN BE BROKEN in a shake out,  we wont be buying without a swing low in place.  I will discuss my experience in later reports.
