Bullish Changes

November 25, 2015 /33 Comments/in /by

Today is Wednesday and the last full day of trading this week for the markets in the U.S.  There were some bullish looking moves yesterday, some expected and another was a little surprising. Lets review. 

SPX -  I expected a little drop, likely to the 10sma, and a BUY opportunity for UPRO, TQQQ, or another long vehicle that you may trade.

SPX 11-24

I posted this chart of UPRO yesterday, using the 10sma as a guide. The 2nd one was at the close.

UPRO 11-23Upro 11-24

That was a perfect "Buy" opportunity, but It could still be bought here if you missed it.

  This is a holiday week in the U.S., so I would expect that the markets may begin to slow down as the holiday approaches. Lets review what took place Monday.  There actually were a couple of noteworthy occurrences since the weekend report.

With the release of the Fed Minutes Wednesday, we got a good amount of action in the markets this week.  Lets review sector by sector.

 

The SPY -  On Nov 16,  with a day 25 high in place,  I expected a bullish break higher and a DCL to be put in place.

SPY 11-16

 

SPX Nov 18 -  This was a bullish break out back above the 200sma.

SPX 11-18

That was follow through after the release of the fed minutes.  What can we expect?

PUBLIC REPORT : GOLD BULLS AND GOLD BEARS

November 19, 2015 in /by

We saw GOLD break to new yearly lows Tuesday and I read in several different places that people were going short for the drop below $1000  (Again).  From what I was seeing, it was not time to be going short.   I discussed that in my Tuesday night report and will post some of that discussion […]

A Clearer Picture

November 19, 2015 /62 Comments/in /by

The picture started getting clearer in many sectors of the market after the Fed Minutes were released Wednesday afternoon.  Lets take a look.

 

SPX / SPY - Looking for an overhead follow through and within the timing for a DCL. The 200sma acted as resistance.

SPX 11-17

Bullish Break through, I expect higher prices and will watch how the follow through plays out.

SPX 11-18

She’s Breaking Down…How Bad Is It?

November 18, 2015 /48 Comments/in /by

We saw GOLD break to new yearly lows yesterday and I read in several different places that people were going short for the drop to below $1000  (Again).  We will discuss why I do not agree that this is the time to be going short.  NATGAS remains interesting and OIL and Energy Stocks continue to have my attention too, so First lets look at a few other charts.

SPX - The markets stalled at the 200sma and a down trend line that I mentioned earlier. We could  drop to the 50sma, but timing wise, we are due to go higher soon.This may be a pause before breaking above that 200sma.

SPX 11-17

The USD has been strong , but it may be due for a rest.  Yesterday was a short term topping or reversal candle, but it is not  a strongly reliable one. If the dollar is due for a rest,  what might that do for the commodities that are now being heavily shorted?

Public Post – An Oil & Energy Update

November 17, 2015 in /by

I wanted to do a quick update on the Oil and Energy sector that was included in todays premium report.   It is interesting that as we see Oil selling off toward the Aug lows and currently forming Lower Highs and lower Lows,  many Energy stocks seem to be more or less holding up and basing […]

Winds Of Change

November 17, 2015 /73 Comments/in /by

The Markets always have that Ebb and Flow action where they pull back and push forward.  We have been in the timing for some change as mentioned in the weekend report, and today we did get those winds of change blowing through.  lets take a look...

 

In the weekend report the SPX chart pointed out possible turning points, seen here.

SPX 11-13 daily 2

Here I am pointing out the action in the SPY, the day ended with  117  million.  We are in the timing for a DCL  (Daily Cycle Low, so I do believe that today was a DCL.  If this pop drops  ( to the 50sma?), I think support will hold. This is a buy with a stop below the 50 sma.

SPY 11-16

This Market – Hot And Cold

November 16, 2015 /91 Comments/in /by

This week various sectors actually made some moves that could affect the short and longer term outlook. Lets dig right in and review what has happened. 

SPX - Expecting a pullback with resistance at former highs, this is wedge was posted and a possible channel could form. 

SPX 11-9

SPX - The channel has been broken, but thats not bearish by itself yet.  The SPX tagged the 38% retrace.  We could even fall further this week to the purple dotted trend line for a back test. This is also the 50% retrace and the 50sma is there, so good support could be found just below current price.  I do expect a bounce soon.

SPX 11-13 daily 2

This is not bearish at this point, but let me show you something a little more concerning here...
