Friday the 13th- A Simple Warning

There are times when we need to take note of a few cautionary signs within the markets that we are trading in. Let's take a look at a few of those signs that are popping up now.

 

I posted this chart of the vix as a warning sign. This is a 5 year chart and we are in an area where temporary market tops have taken place or years, so we want to be mindful of that. In the next few weeks, the markets could experience increased market volatility and toppy action.

So with that in mind...

1-12-2017 Reach For The Stars

We are back in a Traders Paradise, as many of our stock picks are lifting off  and some  are just plain old blasting off. Let's do a market review and look at a few more bullish set ups.

.

SPX - Wednesdays reversal looks bullish, and after this long consolidation, we may have a mini inverse H&S followed by a break out higher. The HUGE fly in the ointment is that we have the VIX near 11.

What does the VIX at 11.30 mean? I'll show you ...

January 10th – Additional Thoughts

After our normal market review, I wanted to share some additional thoughts about the Uranium Sector, since it has also been perking up and showing signs of life after a bear market sell off. I don't want this to distract anyone from our current focus and trades, but my pointing out a few things here today allows the readers some time to do a little additional research of their own if they are interested. By the end of this report, you will see why I think this could be worth bringing up.

.

DJIA -  No Dow 20,000 yet. This really doesn't seem to be a true magaphone topping pattern, but it is close. A flat top pattern would be bullish, so I'm watching for a break of either blue line.

Weekend Report – Still On Track

Things are pretty much playing out as expected in the markets, and from what I am seeing in the precious metals sector, things are still on track there too. Let's take a closer look at what last weeks action brought us.

 

DJIA -  19999.63, are you kidding me?  🙂  A fraction away from DOW 20,000.  I feel that we likely just saw a dcl and I would expect a push to new highs soon, so DOW 20,000 should be accomplished in the near future.

There are, however, a couple of other things that I'm noticing in the general markets too.

Ready To Run

Todays report is simply to discuss stocks that look ready to run. Tuesday, while looking at the S&P 500, we saw a reversal. We also saw a reversal in many of the stocks that I had been eyeing, so let's take a look at the the markets and some of those stocks.

 

This was from yesterdays report.  It was bullish overall, because we were locking in a right translated daily cycle, but I was also expecting a dip into the daily cycle low. In the weekend report, I pointed out the 50sma as a possible target for that drop.

 

SPX - On Wednesday we saw follow through on the reversal.  I do not know for sure if that was the dcl, but these markets look set to go higher.
