November 29th – Enjoying The Ride?

Most of my reports have included the words 'Choppy', 'Volatile', and 'difficult', because of the whip saw type directionless action that we have been seeing.  Well, The Fed Chairman gave a little speech Wednesday, and the ride continues on.  Let's discuss the current Market set ups...

Tuesday Nov 27th

Not a lot has changed from the weekend report, so let's take a look at Mondays action...

.

SPX - After breaking above the 10 sma, SPX was turned down at the 50 sma and revisited the lows. The SPX is oversold and the MACD does have divergence so we are at least getting a bounce on day 19.

 

From my weekend report, the ICL could be ahead, and if so, any long trade will be capped.

I discussed my thoughts on the General Markets in greater detail last week and in the weekend report, but let's take another look at the NASDAQ.

Nov 24th – Weekend In Review

Let's take a look at our Big Picture layout with the Markets...

.

SPX-  The markets dropped toward their ICL, and I mentioned that similar to what we saw in Feb & March, this could now become a choppy market, instead of the 'Buy he dips' that  everyone got used to. The ICL could still be ahead, and I will explain why, but if that was the ICL in October, this could just remain choppy putting in a higher low like last April. See the chart.

TRAN - The TRAN actually broke to a new low, below the Feb lows. As mentioned in prior reports, this could become a double top down the road.

Expect Light Holiday Tradin’ ?

One would expect a light volume holiday trading week, but so far many of the charts that I looked at have normal or average volume.  Maybe it will lighten up each day, but let's take a look at what trading took place  after the weekend report.

.  

SPX - The markets have been choppy and instead of that inverse H&S pattern  breaking back above the 200 sma again, Monday the Markets dropped.

 

I used this chart in the weekend report along with the increasingly ugly charts of FB, GOOG, NVDA, and even the IWMs lack of strength, to show the current weakness.  I warned again that if we don't see strength soon, we may see an a-b-c drop that looks like this on the General Markets Weekly Charts.

Friday November 16th

Just a reminder : Today is the last trading day of the week, and next week will be a holiday shortened trading week in the U.S., so let's see where the markets stand and enjoy our Friday of trading!

,

Note:  we'll see how 'earnings' affect the markets going forward, but NVDA released earnings after the bell, and got crushed, down over  $33 or 16%.   We will discuss that with the NASDAQ too.

.  

SPX -  Wednesday we had a gap fill and a bounce into the close.  We need a bigger sign of strength than that, so we'd see if Thursdays trading could show some strength...

SPX - Markets sold off to a new low on Thursday morning,  and then put in a nice reversal.  It overtook more than 1/2 of the prior days candle, so you could add to positions on a day like that, with a tight stop at the lows.   Our inverse H&S remains in tact, let's see if this can power higher.
