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

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.

Well Fed

March 21, 2018 /169 Comments/in /by

Well, its our first Fed Decision with the new chairman Jerome Powell.  One has to wonder if the Markets are going to be jittery, the way they did the first 2 times that he spoke, or will they rally on the news?   He was sworn in on Monday Feb 5th, and the week leading up to his being sworn in, the markets crashed.   On Feb 27, when he testified before congress, maybe it was just a coincidence, but the  Markets did not seem to like it at all and dropped too.  Let's take a look...

 

You can see on the chart that on the week leading up to  Feb 5th, the markets crashed down. Then, as shown in this headline, when he testified before Congress on Feb 27th, Markets sold off then too.

 

DJIA - On the week leading up to Powell being sworn in, The markets crashed.  Then  FEB 27th started a 4 day sell off after he gave what that headline called ' A cheery note on the economy' 🙂

We are approaching the first FOMC MTG with the new Fed Chairman.  So far, whenever he has spoken to Congress,  the markets sold off. The deep mini-crash in February was actually the first time that he spoke to congress.  So  is Mondays sharp sell off a taste of things to come?  Or is this just a little shake, rattle, and roll until after the FOMC decision?  Let's take a look at the action...

 

 DJIA WEEKLY - I used this chart in the weekend report ( this weekend and a week ago), I mentioned that things were not exactly looking all bullish. I used my own indicators to show you internal weakness.
