Aug 4th – Progress

Things still seem to be progressing along in the various sectors of the market that we have been following. Lets take a look.

.

SPX - This sideways move is really a bullish consolidation. As time goes by, we get deeper into the daily cycle, but this is holding up rather bullishly. On a wkly chart, it is forming a very bullish pattern.

SPX 8-3

Tuesday we saw this  back test on the NYSE, and it held and reversed higher Wednesday.

Wednesday Aug 3

SPX - The SPX has been consolidating sideways and Tuesday it started to sell off a bit more. I mentioned that we could get a back test, but it recovered a good amount into the close.  So not a whole lot has changed here  (again).

SPX 8-2

A bit of a different look for the DOW and the NYSE  🙂

Strong Bulls

We've been seeing some strong Bulls running in 2016, and I dont think that the show is over yet. That is great news, lets take a look in our weekend review...

 

SPX - We've seen a break out to new all time highs and a sideways consolidation for weeks.

SPX 7 30 d

 

SPX WKLY - Possible back test or it may just break out higher. If it just keeps going sideways and dips down into a dcl, the back test could occur then too. We'll watch it as it plays out.

Friday Thoughts

Yes, I liked that picture so much that I decided to carry it forward to Friday.  PLUS, I'm still waiting for the recent purchases to really run strongly 🙂 .  Some of our stocks were green Thursday, even though Gold and the GDX sold off. Lets discuss our markets for a brief Friday report and then review Miners.  This is the last trading day of the week, so there is not a lot of new things to say.

The Big Drop

Sometimes what looks and feels like a big drop turns out to just be a small dip in the action. I think that we are seeing that in Gold and Miners now. We'll discuss that after a brief market review.

.

SPX - I've been expecting a small dip here, possibly back testing the break out after a measured move finishes.  That may or may not happen. A sideways consolidation can also act as pause before continuing higher.

SPX 7-25

SPX - Holding the 10sma is bullish in a run out of the ICL. Temporarily breaking below it and recovering is fine too, I'm just pointing out the recent strength here.

July 22 Weekend Report

I hope everyone is enjoying a nice relaxing weekend, lets review the markets and discuss our expectations for the coming week.

.

SPX - The break out that I expected after seeing the 3 white soldiers pattern is in play. Breaking to new all time highs get price above resistance, so a small sideways consolidation may be all that is needed before price continued higher. I expected a back test of the break out based on the VIX being below 12, so that still may happen.

SPX 7-22

SPX WEEKLY - I know someone that is trading ( holding)  UPRO and TQQQ as a result of me pointing out the 3 white soldiers, and they are doing very well. Congrats!  I didn't take that trade.  The VIX is quite low at 12, leverage at this point may be a bit too much. Use caution.
