It would be good to look back at the past weeks activities and see how things are stacking up.
TRAN WKLY - This surely hasn't looked bullish as the trend changed. The Tran was rejected at the 10 ma this week again.
Read MoreA quick look at the markets and a brief discussion on shopping
On Sept 22 - I said that I was looking for a possible 'Test' of the break down and then a drop.
SPX - Reversal candle. Maybe that 'Test' comes now.
Read MoreWhenever we get mixed signals in the markets, it may take time to allow things to clear up. We are seeing that with the divergence between Metals and Miners right now, but until time resolves the differences, we can also look for clues. We'll do that here, but first lets review a few other sectors.
NASDAQ - We got the back test that we expected and then the drop back down. I expect the Aug lows to be tested or broken, but you can see that volatility has kept things from being a smooth move. We may bounce around inside this down channel too.
Read MoreWe are still keeping an eye out for various signs in these markets. Lets take a look...
TRAN - I posted this wdge as a warning in Monday nights report
TRAN - There was some follow through.
The selling was not on very heavy volume, so I am starting to think this move is going to drive longs and shorts crazy, here is why -
Read MoreOur positions in the Miners are pulling back, but it is a slow pull back so far. This pullback was expected. We'll discuss what to expect later in the report, but lets start with the pull back that came in the equity markets first.
SPX - It started with a shooting star and the stochastics indicate that we could see more downside. In fact, I have mentioned that I expect a test of the 'high volume candle lows' sooner or later.
The TRANNIES looked pretty strong re-gaining that 50sma, but they've done that before and a rising wedge is bearish. Notice the shooting star candles at past tops?
OIL is playing out as expected too...
Read MoreAs mentioned in last nights report, we saw an explosive move in Commodities yesterday one day before the Fed Decision. That caught a lot of people who were not in front of their screens flatfooted. Last nights report also pointed out that it looks as though what we have been expecting to occur during the Fed Speech is beginning to play out. Lets go shopping and see if we can find some low risk entries developing in OIL and Precious Metals.
Lets re-visit WG. Rather low priced, I recommended this beaten down Energy stock here at $0.80 and $1.00 in early Sept.
It Popped and ran to $1.80 rapidly and now has formed a bull flag type pattern, landing on the 10sma. You could buy this with a stop under the 10sma as a low risk entry.
Lets keep shopping...
Read MoreEarlier this week I certainly thought that the markets were waiting for the Fed Decision on Thursday before making any big moves. Today Oil, Energy, and Precious Metals jumped the gun and were off and running! We'll discuss more than just those areas, but first lets revisit what we were watching for.
WTIC - The set up was a Bull Flag pinched between support & resistance. Normally I would buy this with a stop below support, but I cautioned that the Fed Mtg Thursday may cause whip saw.
Oil is not waiting for the Fed Mtg. Many energy stocks were up over 10% and some were 15-25% today alone.
I will post some charts of energy stocks set up nicely at the end of the report.
Read MoreMondays trading was a little like watching paint dry in the markets and Tuesdays wasn't a whole lot better. You can bet that things will pick up at all when the Feds decision on interest rates is finally handed down on Thursday,and it's almost here. Lets look at what we have so far.
SPX - Tuesdays move gives it the look that it wants to break higher. If it does it may just back test of the break down.
Read MoreAfter watching the markets yesterday, I get the feeling that this week may be a sideways slow motion move that goes nowhere fast...until after the Fed Mtg. Lets review some charts.
.
SPX - You can see the same sideways move that has been playing out for weeks.
