Let's get right into the weekend report, and I will discuss all of the sectors and why I chose trust issues as a theme.

.

SPX-  Last weekend I had been discussing the expected rally and the potential that it has to be strong since price is near the highs, but the signals that I was getting was saying that it was near term lows ( DCL). Since the markets did form a pattern known as H&S,  I used this as one of my charts showing that we were at lows, not highs on a weekly.  Would we have a strong week?

May 19 - I saw the H&S too, but I had trust issues with it playing out, because many other factors were calling for a rally.

SPX WKLY - That was a strong break higher and the SPX is actually heading to the May 2015 all time highs. If it breaks out from there?  I have prepared charts for that time already  🙂   It could get very bullish , apparently climbing a wall of worry, because all I hear is negative talk.

Yesterdays report discussed some break outs that were taking place in various sectors.  Wednesday, we saw some follow through in those areas too. Just like a baseball player at the plate, when we get a decent pitch tossed our way, we also need to follow through to be able to possibly score.  Some may wait for a pullback or start a small position and add on a pullback later, since it is early in some set ups.  Lets review.

.

SPX -  This is the follow through that we expected. We are only on Day 5 today, of a daily cycle that can last over 30 days.

Tuesday was a Break Through in a several ways. Let's take a look.

.

SPX -  From the weekend report.  For many reasons,   we were waiting for a break out higher  ( not lower like many other analysts).

SPX Tuesday-  We see a Break through.  This is Bullish. Today is only day 3 of the 2nd daily cycle, following a R.T. Daily cycle.  That means that we could really see this move higher over time.  Picture this :  Many were shorting what appeared to be a H&S, and they may now start covering and cause a buying reaction.

And the NASDAQ?

In this weekend report,  I want to review the markets as usual and discuss where they are at. Things look very interesting in many ways.  I also wanted to discuss a few things about my personal view of trading around cycles. In my analysis, many are aware that I incorporate a variety of helpful techniques.  I Mainly use various forms of Technical analysis, and along with that I add Cycles, Sentiment, a little Elliot Wave and so on. In this weekend report, I  want to also briefly discuss a few things regarding Cycles and some of the trading that goes on around them. To the charts...

.

SPX -  As mentioned in a prior report, for the amount of time that the SPX has rallied out of lows and moved to oversold,  it has had a mild pullback.  Not even a 38.2% retrace yet.

Wednesdays release of the Fed Minutes certainly caused a 'reaction' in the various sectors of the markets. It falls in place with the timing of certain cycles, so lets review the action and what it may mean moving forward.

.

SPX -  The General Markets sold off with the Fed minutes. They recovered into the close. This still looks like a H&S and has yet to recover the 50sma.

Something that I find very interesting happened on Wednesday, I'll discuss it later in the report.
