The Big Drop

Sometimes what looks and feels like a big drop turns out to just be a small dip in the action. I think that we are seeing that in Gold and Miners now. We'll discuss that after a brief market review.

.

SPX - I've been expecting a small dip here, possibly back testing the break out after a measured move finishes.  That may or may not happen. A sideways consolidation can also act as pause before continuing higher.

SPX - Holding the 10sma is bullish in a run out of the ICL. Temporarily breaking below it and recovering is fine too, I'm just pointing out the recent strength here.

July 22 Weekend Report

I hope everyone is enjoying a nice relaxing weekend, lets review the markets and discuss our expectations for the coming week.

.

SPX - The break out that I expected after seeing the 3 white soldiers pattern is in play. Breaking to new all time highs get price above resistance, so a small sideways consolidation may be all that is needed before price continued higher. I expected a back test of the break out based on the VIX being below 12, so that still may happen.

SPX 7-22

SPX WEEKLY - I know someone that is trading ( holding)  UPRO and TQQQ as a result of me pointing out the 3 white soldiers, and they are doing very well. Congrats!  I didn't take that trade.  The VIX is quite low at 12, leverage at this point may be a bit too much. Use caution.
