Fence Sitting, 8th November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ S&P500 was able to climb above the resistance/support level at the end of the days trade. This has set a higher low above the yearly low on 13th Oct. We now have the first set of higher highs and higher lows => an uptrend in the classical technical definition. 📈 ➤ While the Bulls may be rejoicing on such an occasion, we must note that within the larger context, the price is still stuck in the choppy range bound condition. A move above 390 in the SPY would break those shackles. ➤ Looking across at other markets, NASDAQ still looks very weak. The Russell 2000 still have not triggered an exit for my short position despite recent bullishness. DAX hit resistance and was unable to stay above it for now. STOXX50 did overcome resistance. VIX is dangling in the reversal zone. ➤ With the above set of conditions, I'm still leaning Bullishly but have cut NASDAQ and DAX longs. The portfolio sits at +32% long exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: CPI data on Wednesday could have a huge influence on the near term Bullish progression. I'm inclined to go sit on the fence.

DJIA again testing 200-day MAThe big rally on Friday in global stock indices, metals and oil were mostly attributed to optimism about China dropping its zero Covid policy. At the weekend, however, Chinese officials affirmed “unswervingly” the country’s strict stance on Covid. This should have been negative for risk assets. And although that’s how it proved first thing at the Asian open, as index futures gapped lower along with copper and oil, indices later reversed their losses. But could we see renewed selling pressure come into the markets again, with the like of the Dow, DAX and FTSE all testing their respective 200-day moving averages? The Dow has raced ahead of the other US indices in this rebound and it has reached the 200-day moving average. If this is still a bear trend, then we would expect the next leg of the down trend to start from around these levels. Notice that the 200-day MA had capped the previous rallies earlier in the year. Will history repeat itself? If you focus on the slope of the 200-day average, it was previously positive, before flattening around the start of the year, and then trending lower. This is echoed on nearly all other major indices. With the slope of the moving average being negative, the long-term trend is objectively bearish. The short-term trend has been bullish, however, with the index rising noticeably from its October lows in recent weeks. But with the Dow now testing the 200-day, it is possible we might see a reversal in the short-term trend and go back in tune with the longer-term bearish trend.

Higher Low? 7th November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Welcome to another week of snakes and ladders. Before we look at the technicals, I urge you to read my thought piece about The Paradigm Shift if you haven't done so. IMHO, this will alter the behaviour of markets going forward. A much more active approach rather than a passive buy and hold approach is required. ➤ Let's now look at the charts. Once more the price in the S&P500 is back in the chop with resistance and support levels acting has hurdles. For the Bullish case, we could possibly pencil in the higher low I have been writing about. Price retraced 50% of the up move from the yearly low. This is a common place where prices tend to rebound higher. Price needs to overcome 379 in the short-term to make certain of this. ➤ The biggest conundrum right now is the weakness in tech or NASDAQ. This is very rare during a bullish phase. In fact, with a cursory glance all the way back to year 2000, I cannot see such a huge discrepancy between the performance of NASDAQ as compared to the DJIA, a portfolio of blue chip stocks. In every instance, the NASDAQ has matched or bettered on a Bullish move whether in year 2000 or 2008. I'm interested to investigate this further as to the cause. Is it high inflation and fast rising interest rates the culprit? I welcome your insights! ➤ VIX has entered an interesting area where Bears have come to the fore. Despite that, I cut my small short in NASDAQ and reversed to buy. A small short position in Russell 2000 remains. I'm long other indices. Portfolio sits at +60% long exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Chop means fingers closely placed near the exit button.

...And Down She Goes, 3rd November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ If you ever doubted the effectiveness/importance of support and resistance levels/zones, I think that has been put to bed by today's price action in the S&P500 equity index. ➤ All you need is to look at the price action in the past few days. Price has tried valiantly on multiple occasions to overcome the resistance zone. Today saw the ultimate failure. ➤ However, failures like these are not always full gone conclusions. In my analysis of such situations in the past, many times prices have held on to re-ignite the bull charge. The probability of this happening is certainly well below 50% but we shouldn't dismiss it. ➤ At European equity market close I was able to add short positions to hedge my initial long exposure. This did help to offset the majority of the loss. At close of US trading, I exited the long positions and entered small short positions. Portfolio is net short with -34% exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Bears are back in charge but it's not too late for the Bulls to strike back.

Poised to...2nd November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Yesterday in Australia was the running of the 162nd world-renowned horse race, the "Race That Stops the Nation" - The Melbourne Cup. The blue-ribbon event is a 3200m long-distance race and each horse is handicapped by age, weight and "quality". In theory, due to the handicap, each horse has a fair chance of winning. This year's winner is Gold Trip with odds around 15 to 1 or $1 bet wins $15. The favourite for the race was odds of around 5 to 1. ➤ Just like the Melbourne Cup, it's time for the US Federal Reserve Cup. Whilst the FOMC members are no thoroughbreds, they do seem have staying power with market participants who hang on their every stride. Today, onlookers are poised for the "Rates that Stops the World". Market behaviour is showing nervousness. S&P500 failing at resistance again in the pink zone for three days in-a-row. DAX and STOXX50 in Europe also stopping short of key resistance levels. ➤ I've betted on horses for the fun of it, but when it's serious money like my trading capital, I'm not keen to get too involved. It seems my Strategy agrees given it is not giving any trading signals other than "sit-tight" for now. ➤ My exposure sitting tight at 20% long exposure. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Place your bets, big winners and losers expected today.

DOW JONES biggest monthly rally since 1976! Bear Market over?The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) closed the October with its biggest monthly gain since January 1976, rising by +14%! The huge green monthly candle suceeded at (marginally) breaking and closing above the 1M MA10 (blue trend-line) for the first time since January 2022, which was the All Time High and practically the start of the current inflation led Bear Cycle. At the same time, the 1M RSI is close to testing its MA. Just to have some perspective, the previous Bear Cycle of the 2008/09 Housing Crisis, never saw a 1M candle break above the 1M MA10 nor the 1M RSI break or simply come that close to its MA. Can a break above it signal the end of the current Bear Market? A break above the 1M MA20 (green trend-line) should practically confirm it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, SUBSCRIBE ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Pause...1st November 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Welcome to November. Just two months to go prior to the end of a long but so far successful year. However, there will be a lot of action and many trading opportunities still to come. ➤ Except maybe not for a day or two. As if on queue we have a pause on proceedings. This is to be expected both from a fundamental and technical viewpoint. We are awaiting the important US Interest Rate decision on Wednesday and S&P500 is up against strong resistance (pink zone). ➤ If you are familiar with my trading style, you will know I don't like these 50/50 situations. Prices can break above or falter at the resistance. It's a perfect set-up by the Trading Gods to take your money. They either can hunt down your well-placed stop-loss or trap you against your directional bet. This is especially true when important economic data is released. ➤ My exposure is low right now so I'm quiet relaxed. I did have a go at buying NASDAQ yesterday, but cut the position as price failed to hold well. My overall 20% long exposure remains. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Unless something dramatic happens on Tuesday, my positioning will remain the same. I'll be waiting for the fireworks display on Wednesday to show the path forward.

US30 31st OCTOBER 2022Concerns about recession resurfaced among investors as the Fed continued to follow a hawkish path lined with interest rate hikes. This led some companies in the US to change their earnings projections again, with several companies and analysts revising their outlook downward for the coming quarter. The market also expects the Fed to raise its benchmark interest rate again at its November meeting. According to FedWatch, 96.7% of market participants project that the Fed will raise its benchmark interest rate by 75 bp and bring the Fed funds rate to a range of 3.75%-4%. Wall Street still tends to weaken despite the positive sentiment from the release of the financial performance of issuers in the US.

Time for a Pause? 31st October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ S&P500 leapt higher to the upper resistance zone highlighted in pink. This is probably the best opportunity for price to take a pause or reverse downwards. A clear break above the zone will give the Bulls impetus to push higher as there is little to no resistance left until the top of the double-bottom formation as explored in a previous post. ➤ VIX is approaching the pink zone as well where reversals have occurred. This will add weight to the Bearish argument. We will know soon enough with key economic data/policy decisions this week including US employment, manufacturing and interest rates. ➤ I closed my ill-timed NASDAQ short exposure and also cut my long exposures in half. Leaving an overall low 20% long exposure. This will change quickly if prices reverse course. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Inflexion point incoming?

We are Many, 28th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ One thing I like about trading indices is that I don't have to deal with individual stock risk. A reasonably diversified portfolio will do the trick too. We have seen some major moves in the price of mega cap stocks this earnings season. Meta, Netflix, Amazon to just name a few. Overall, at the index level, they were pretty much non-events. The Many overcame the Individual. ➤ With the exception of tech, indices have overcome the bad individual stocks moves. This lends to a sense of bullish resilience. Something we probably haven't seen for a while. Does this mean that this bullish bounce is more sustainable or simply a case of "better" macro-economic factors such as a potential easing of interest rate rises have temporarily overshadowed bearish proceedings? ➤ I added a small short exposure in NASDAQ whilst keeping my longs in S&P500 and DJIA. An overall 30% long exposure. This will change quickly if prices reverse course. The S&P500 is sitting on short-term support. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Major earnings news is over...back to the macro-news grind.

VIX is in the MIX, 27th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Price pushed higher once more but was unable to hold most of the gains. More often than not, this bearish looking daily reversal candle is not bearish at all. Buyers tend to bid it back higher. ➤ Price is approaching the next line of resistance. If successful in overcoming that hurdle, the next hurdle is some distance away at 417 on the SPY. That is 9% higher from here. ➤ The VIX (equity fear index) is contracting quickly well below my panic level of 30. If it keeps falling, it will soon hit the zone where things get interesting. This is the area where in previous months equity prices have reversed downwards and VIX rebounded higher. More often than not, the subsequent expansion in VIX has ended with equity prices setting a new low. ➤ I remain with 40% long exposure in US indices, looking for further upside in the short-term. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Keep an eye on the VIX.

DOW JONES on an aggressive rally towards the 1D MA200!It was 2 weeks ago when we made a case for a medium-term buy on the Dow Jones index (DJI), against popular belief, as we had early signs that the index made a June 17 type bottom and was about to repeat the June-Aug rebound: Our view has been confirmed so far and following the 1D RSI break above the Lower Highs and the 1D MACD Bullish Cross, the rally broke above the 1D MA50 (red trend-line) with ease and is headed towards the 1D MA200 (grey trend-line). Today's analysis is on the 4H time-frame, in order to get a more detailed look on the short-term. We see that Dow Jones has already formed the 4H Golden Cross (when the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) crosses above the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line)) that comes when the price breaks above the 1D MA50. At the same time, the price has already broken inside the volatility zone of the 0.5 - 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels. Based on the previous fractal, we could see a week of sideways price action before Dow targets the rejection zone (and the medium-term target) within the 1D MA200 (grey trend-line) and the 1D MA300 (yellow trend-line). For comparison purposes in order to get a better understanding of Dow's proportionate position compared to the previous rebounds, we've plotted all rebound sequences on top of another (Black line = Feb 24 - March 22, Grey line = June 17 - August 16 and Green line = October 02 - today). Though not 100% correlated, it is obvious that there is a high degree of convergence among all three sequences. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, SUBSCRIBE ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Double Bottom? 26th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Price pushed strongly higher through resistance. After-hours trading is showing weakness due to earnings releases from Google & MSFT. ➤ With today's action, it is probably right to say the market structure has formed a double bottom formation (one could argue a small double bottom also occured with left/right bottom on 30 Sep/13 Oct). The larger structure has a left bottom on 17th Jun low and right bottom on 13th Oct low. If true, the first price target for the larger structure is the high at the peak on 16th Aug, price of 431 on the SPY. We are 12% away below that level. ➤ Most US/Europe indices have overcome short-term resistance levels. ➤ I added 40% long exposure in US indices, looking for further upside in the short-term. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Double-bottom formations are generally pretty reliable. Let's see how this plays out with the positive expectancy of US mid-term elections and the seasonal Christmas-rally.

Resistance is Futile, 25th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ I'm not a nerdy Star Trek fan but it seems the phrase about resistance is appropriate here. For the S&P500, price is challenging the upper ceiling of the range that has unfolded from the start of October. ➤ A higher high has developed due to the temporary intrusion above the resistance level. This is a basic requirement to confirm a longer term trend change. A major higher low is now required. ➤ The bluechip DJIA (DOW30) is leading the charge higher. This is a bit suspect given that you would expect the riskier indices such as the NASDAQ to lead in a bullish environment. This may be a temporary lag but we need to keep an eye on it. ➤ I now hold zero exposure having exited my S&P500 position at resistance. I don't like to play when prices stop at support or resistance levels. More often than not, prices reverse course rather than break through. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: I'm looking for a bottoming VIX. If this occurs, I will jump in to short the market. If prices keep elevating I will miss out but I won't be kicking myself for it. Is Resistance really futile?

Whipsaw, 24th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ If the chart is looking congested, that's because it is. This is due to the whipsawing, range bound, choppy conditions. I think I've ran out of other descriptions...coiling maybe. I'm pretty sure market-makers are having a good time of it and perhaps day traders too...although the intra-day volatility and news flow, it may be hard to handle. ➤ With such conditions, it is probably wise to reduce risk and sit on your hands rather than being tempted to do something rash. That's exactly what I've been doing. There's been numerous times where a potential sustained bearish move looked to be on the cards but reversed course to snuff out that opportunity. An eager beaver would be licking multiple wounds from any pre-emptive strikes. ➤ That being said, price structures on all major equity indices in the US and Europe that I trade are almost back in sync. This simply means, once a trade opportunity arises, I will most likely be able to add risk simultaneously in multiple indices, hence, build a moderate to high conviction position at the portfolio level. Above average profits or losses should be expected. ➤ I remain long with +20% exposure for now. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Coiling price action, poised to strike.

Range or Trend? 21st October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Without wanting to sound like a broken record, prices are still treading carefully around the important support/resistance level. ➤ That being said, the Bearish picture is progressively getting clearer. Not enough yet to pull any triggers but very close. Here's why and why not: ➤ S&P500 price once again rejected the opportunity to stay above our key level at 371. Finishing near the daily low and printing a bearish looking candlestick. ➤ We can count the recent peak on 18th Oct as another lower high. The classic definition of a downtrend with lower highs and lower lows remains intact. ➤ VIX continues to contract. Now below 30, out of the panic zone. Contractions usually lead to higher equity prices. Not so in the last few days. This needs a resolution to clear up the overall bearish picture. I am watching this as a determining factor. ➤ I remain long with +20% exposure but will change drastically soon. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: Prices are trending down but also staying within a range. Most signs show bearish continuation. Easy to get whipsawed here.

DOW JONES Repeating the July bullish fractal. Still time to buy!It was just 10 days ago when we made a case for a medium-term buy on the Dow Jones index (DJI), against popular belief, as we had early signs that the index made a June 17 type bottom and was about to repeat the June-Aug rebound: Our view has been confirmed so far and following the 1D RSI break above the Lower Highs and the 1D MACD Bullish Cross, the price quickly has come a few clicks away from the 1D MA50 (red trend-line). Today's analysis is on the 4H time-frame, in order to get a more detailed look on the short-term. We see that Dow Jones has already broken above both the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) which is supporting currently. Based on the 1D RSI it seems that we are still in the early stages of this uptrend to a Lower High (at least). The 4H Golden Cross (MA50 above MA200) hasn't formed yet and in order to get a better understanding of Dow's analogous position compared to July, I've plotted the June-July sequence on today's price action (black line). As you see, based on that, the 1D MA50 break should come by next week's end (the earliest), though of course this isn't absolute as even though similar, the current price action hasn't followed the exact pattern of June-July. Above the 1D MA50, the next volatility zone should be within the 0.5 - 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, making way for the rejection zone (and the medium-term target) within the 1D MA200 (grey trend-line) and the 1D MA300 (yellow trend-line). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, SUBSCRIBE ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Trapped, 20th October 2022🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈 ➤ Prices continue to dance around the key support/resistance levels. This time falling under my key level. ➤ It's not the only index doing this dance. STOXX50 is sitting right under the short-term resistance at 3484. On the other hand, DAX is hovering above the 12670 support. This also holds true for DJIA and NASDAQ, the former below and the latter above their respective key levels. This is not sustainable. They will need to decide on which side of the fence they belong. ➤ I'm now leaning towards the Bear case. I'm not acting on it right now as my short-term Index Trading Strategy hasn't sent a Short signal. However, my medium-term equity signal is threatening to flash RED and I've entered a Short trade for my long/short individual stock trading strategy. Timing is never perfect on these but the overall bias is there. ➤ I remain long with +20% exposure but will change drastically soon. The maximum portfolio exposure is +/- 200% on capital, the level of highest conviction. ➤ Conclusion: The dance continues in these choppy and volatile conditions. Be agile and don't get trapped sitting on the wrong side of the fence.
