A Friday Review

June 19, 2015 /29 Comments/in /by

I dont always feel the need to do a Friday morning report, much of Thursdays action flows into Friday and the weekend report covers that. This week we had some interesting developments , so I want to do a quick review.

SPX - I have been looking at a Wedge pattern , but lets look at things from another angle. This looks like day 8 of a new daily cycle.

SPX 6-18

It Looks A Little Mixed

June 18, 2015 /68 Comments/in /by

Yesterday was Fed Wednesday and as usual we had a little reaction to the Fed Release. Lets take a look at the charts

SPX- closed higher but couldn't hold above the 50sma. It still looks bullish at least for a run to the highs of this trading range. Why would that looked like a mixed picture?

SPX 6-17

The weekly SPX  looks to be weakening over time. Tops are a process and we could be seeing that process playing out now.

SPX WKLY 6-17

Fed Wednesday- Think Outside the Box

June 17, 2015 /39 Comments/in /by

  First we look at the charts and see what we can learn from recent price action. Short term indecision can cause volatility or lack of direction and we see that lately.   Today at 2 p.m.  will we get some additional information from a Fed Release  that pushes various market sectors one way or the other into a trending move?  For Gold, Silver , & Miners I am thinking outside the box a bit today . Lets see what the charts are indicating...

SPX - The MACD looks to be weakening at this point  ( weaker MACD & lack of follow through so far).

SPX 6-16

Sideways Moves

June 16, 2015 /41 Comments/in /by

As mentioned in prior reports, sideways consolidations and bases can build up energy for larger directional moves. The Vix chart  above ( click on it) seems to be basing and other sectors also have been moving in sideways in consolidations. If the VIX breaks out & runs eventually, the markets should correct.  Lets take a closer look  at recent activity and see if we can determine what it means.

SPX- So far the dips have been bought and trading this pattern has been obvious, but is it due to change sometime soon?

SPX 6-15

How Does It All End?

 USD WKLY -  looks strong and found support in an important area

USD WKLY 6-12

The DAILY USD  - looks a bit more bearish. The MACD dipped well below the zero line for the first time in a long time. Is that a H&S forming? The outcome of this move could affect all markets.

Lets look at several other sectors...

The charts have lots to say,  lets just look at the charts....

SPX- I have been watching a wedge pattern for months.  It looks a lot like it  broke down & back-tested  (Orange Arrow)  It needs to break higher real soon or it will continue to just roll over.
