Stocks Find Support!!Stocks have tested our lower levels, breaking through 4504 then finally bottoming out at 4487. Both were levels as to which we alerted you in this report. It appears that selloff we saw earlier this week may have found support at 4487. We have a double bottom at this level with two green triangles on the KRI. If we are wrong there is a vacuum zone to 4462. If we are right, then the next levels of resistance are 4521 and 4545. Our next target is 4564.

Stocks Finding Support??Stocks have been gradually trending downward since highs at 4545. We have broken through several levels of support including 4521, and 4504. We finally found support at 4487, to the tick. We've called out this level many times in the reports. This would have made a nice level to buy back at least for a quick scalping trade. Currently we are testing 4504 again from below but are facing resistance. The Kovach OBV is gradually tapering up. Watch for momentum at open, but we could see some bull momentum. The next target is 4521, then 4545. If bear momentum continues, watch the vacuum zone down to 4462.
CSI 300 - 2021 Q4 Outlook [1-3 months view] Trend Analysis Chart Patterns Wave Analysis csi300 china hongkong index Equity
Having completed the ABC corrective wave, CSI 300 started a new impulsive wave at the start of 2019. With price testing 1st support around the 4663.90 region where we also have a 50% Fibonacci retracement and possible wave 4 completion.
With the CSI 300 index holding above long term moving average and Stochastic indicator holding above support where price bounced strongly in the past, we see a strong case of price facing renewed bullish pressure. Price could very well push towards our 1st resistance at 5449.57 level and possibly even completing wave 5 target at our 2nd resistance level of 5930.90. Our 2nd resistance level is a key level as it is in line with the historical high of the index and also we have strong Fibonacci levels that finds confluence at that level.
Stocks Tumble, Find SupportStocks fell from from the range they were holding between 4521 and 4545. We anticipated a break out or break down as they had been holding this all last week. We caught some support at 4521 and made an attempt to establish value here, but another wave of selling took us to support at 4504. We should find support here but if we see another wave of selling, 4487 will be the next level down. The Kovach OBV has turned sharply bearish, reflecting the selloff. However we have two green triangles on the KRI suggesting that 4504 is likely to hold for now.
Can Stocks Sustain Highs??Stocks have been ranging between the 4521 and 4545. They have been ranging for over a week now. Observe the red triangles at the upper bound of the range from the KRI indicator, and the green triangles at the lower bound of the range. These mark perfect entry points for range trading. We are flirting with new highs, so it is highly likely that stocks will breakout, one way or the other. We will see if they have the momentum to sustain ranging at highs, or if they will retrace. If so, 4504 and 4487 will provide support. If we breakout, then 4564 is our next target.
VDJP Daily - Testing all time highs Beautiful follow through following the break of the bull flag. Currently testing all time highs, but move has been aggressive as seen by the extension from the 20day SMA and overbought RSI. It is currently the largest allocation in my portfolio and I will look to take some partial profits here hoping we get a slight pullback for an accumulation.
Stocks Ranging Before Nonfarm PayrollsStocks are maintaining a very narrow range between 4521 and highs at 4545. The Kovach OBV has leveled off, so we are likely going to range before jobs data is released on Friday. A good data point indicates a stronger economy, while a bad data point suggests more Fed fueled free money, so good or bad news is good for stocks. We will have support from below at 4504 and 4487. Our next profit target is 4564.
Stocks Cling to Highs!!Stocks are clinging to highs. We retraced slightly to 4521, but as we anticipated yesterday, this level, once a profit target has held, providing support. It will continue to do so, but a correction could take us back to 4505 or 4487. Our next profit target is 4564. The Kovach OBV is still strong, and if we see a particularly risk-on day at open, then we should easily be able to reach this target.
Stocks Make New Highs!!Stocks have broken through our profit target to make fresh highs again. Our previous profit target was 4521, which provided little resistance. Our next target is 4564. The Kovach OBV is tapering slightly, suggesting that momentum may be starting to wane. Additionally, we are starting to look a bit overbought. Knowing this product, we may have another rally in the tank before we can consider a retracement. If not, 4521 and 4504 will provide support.
Next Profit Target for Stocks??Stocks have blasted through our profit target at 4504 making new highs again. Our next profit target is fairly conservative, at 4521, or about 10 points higher than current levels. We should have some good momentum today, as Fed chair Powell's comments on Friday were received as surprisingly dovish. The Kovach OBV is very strong suggesting we may see momentum continue today. If not, watch for support at 4504 and 4487.
MTN Group Limited RSI indicators are showing exhaustion. The stock looks overbought and is facing strong resistance at R130.
As a trader, I wouldn't want to buy the top right now. I'm looking for a pullback to (+- R115) before I enter a position again.
There is no denying that MTN has been a top stock to own in 2021, and this uptrend should continue, but in the short term I'm expecting a 10% pullback and then a retest to current levels of R130. If it can break out of R130 then R150 is on the cards.
Pullback to R115 -( Ideal entry )
Retest of R130+ then some consolidation, then a breakout to test R150.
30% upside reward from R115 levels.
Not financial advice.
Will Stocks Make New Highs After Jackson Hole??Stocks dipped, finding support just above our level at 4462. We are currently testing 4487, which should provide resistance. The Kovach OBV is rounding off with the price action suggesting the overall momentum is petering out. Watch for news events from Jackson Hole to influence the price, and for stocks to remain in the value area between 4462 and 4487 until then. Our next target above is 4504 again, or highs. News from Jackson Hole could easily bring us to new highs again.
Stocks RangingStocks are broadly ranging in anticipation of more news from Jackson Hole. In an environment where the only really meaningful data point that matters is Central Bank forward guidance, stocks are waiting for a better idea. Watch for stocks to maintain this range until we have more insight or the market starts to price in a decision. It did appear that we got a burst of risk on mid trading session yesterday and we came within a few ticks of 4504. The Kovach OBV is pretty strong nevertheless.
Inflation TradeIn the chart below you have the TIP and IEF the IEF ratio. IEF is Ishares 7-10 year treasury bond ETF and TIP is the TIPs bond etf. On the right side of the chart you have the 10 year inflation breakeven. Now looking at the two you can see that they track pretty closely. Now generally the IEF 7-10 year has a very similar duration to that of the TIP etf.
Some people are wondering how to play the inflation hedge as with some of the largest tech stocks P/E multiple compression could pose an issue to high P/E ratio trading stocks. What does this mean, and what is multiple compression. Well what happens as inflation rises that inflation starts to be built into P/E multiples, and as that happens you start to get compression of those P/E multiples this can pose a massive risk to equity holders.
So my thesis would be you could short IEF, and be long TIP. This is something to look into, and I believe that spread that you can see below is going to widen tremendously. So it is something to watch out for, and a trade you might want to consider setting up.

Potential Breakout in FANG Towards 8800Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 4-Hour Chart. The index FANG (FNG1!) has been in a rangebound price movement after hitting resistance around the 7400 price level in mid February 2021. FANG held support at 6050 and made a second attempt to break above 7400 in mid July. After that failure the index quickly found some support around 6800 and is heading towards that 7400 resistance level. Expectations are for a break higher in FANG, with that target being 8800.
Technical Indicators
FANG is currently above its short (25-MA), medium (75-MA) and long (200-MA) fractal moving averages. The RSI is above 50 with the KST in a positive zone. Also over multiple other timeframes, the technical indicators are signaling a buy.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go long at market. Stop loss will be set around the 6000 price level and a target of 8800. This produces a risk-reward ratio of 1.36.

Stocks Make New Highs!! 🎉🥳Stocks saw a huge rally yesterday that brought all the major indexes to new highs. The S&P is no exception. We have cracked 4486 finding resistance just above this level, as confirmed by a red triangle on the KRI. The Kovach OBV was very strong but has rounded off suggesting that the asset is giving pause. We are perhaps due for a reasonable retracement, which may take us to support at 4462. If not, our next target is 4504.
Momentum for Stocks!! 🚀After bottoming out at 4355, stocks have reclaimed the 4450's, almost a hundred points higher. We are just a few levels away from all time highs again. We appear to have broken out from an inverse head and shoulders, which is a very bullish sign. Currently, the momentum is letting up for a bit, which suggests that we may see a range day, if we don't see momentum at open. We should see support at 4440. Our next target is the high at 4487.
A quantitative approach - Is Alibaba and Chinese big tech a buy?One of the big macro focal points of late has been the extreme weakness in Chinese internet and tech stocks, with some even saying this space is uninvestable. Last week’s moves by China’s State Administration for Market Regulation ( www.reuters.com) may be seen by many as fair, but the measures increase the number of forceful and sustained regulatory curbs imposed by Chinese authorities in recent months.
As any investor will tell you, when you invest in a company with such monopolistic and strong price maker qualities, especially in a regime where there is a move to a “Common Prosperity”, regulation is always the biggest risk to sentiment. Certainly, any equity trader that has seen the incredible loss of market cap in Tencent, Alibaba (BABA), Baidu, and others will attest to that now.
Are we set to see a mean reversion rally?
The level of conversation around these names, and whether the drop now represents a buying opportunity for long-term investors and traders has clearly ramped up. I would be fine with owning as a long-term play at current levels, but I have been most keen to explore whether after a 50% decline if there was a statistical trading case that suggested a short-term mean-reversion bounce is coming. I have paid particular focus on Alibaba (ticker: BABA).
Initially, I ran a scan of our complete universe of c.900 global equity CFDs for any 40% or more below the broker's consensus price target. I see 12 on the list, with BABA 42% below the consensus target price of $271 – I see the stock trades on 17.7x full-year earnings and 14x 2022 earnings – if I didn’t believe BABA was due a raft of earnings downgrades, I’d argue this is insanely ‘cheap’, in fact, it’s never been lower, but I rarely look at valuation for trading equity CFDs.
Perhaps more interestingly, having fallen 50%, BABA is now one of only 9 US-listed stocks trading 30% or more below its 200-day moving average – It was 35% above the 200-day MA in October, now it resides at a record discount to the average. In fact, this is very close to 3 standard deviations from the 200-day moving average. The only time price has breached the 3 standard deviation band occurred once before in October 2018 and subsequently marked a bullish turning point, with the stock rallying 29% over the coming 36 days.
We can also see price close to the lower Keltner band – here, I have really stretched out the settings using a 20-day ATR length, 3 times ATR and 10-period average.
I’ve then scanned for stocks in our full universe that have had a run of 8 down days (or more) in a row and that have a 3-day RSI of less than 5 – of our 900 odd equity CFDs, I get BABA and Resolute Mining, in fact, the 3-day RSI on BABA is just 0.47.
Crunching the numbers, I wanted to see if there was any kind of edge in buying BABA for a day after such a run of losses. Using the logic of buying on the open (after 8 down days) and selling (to close) on the open of the following day – since listing on the NYSE in 2014 the system would have placed 11 trades, which isn’t a huge sample size but there is a 73% winning ratio. The average loss is 1.32x higher than the average gain, so this works against performance, but the max win is 1.36x higher than the max loss.
If I scan to see buying after 8 consecutive falls with a 5-day hold period, my strike rate falls to 54%, but the average win is 1.35x that of my average loss. My max win is 1.8x my max loss.
I also see volume steadily rising in the sell-offs – where on Friday we saw 75m shares traded – the highest since 24 December…one questions if this is the capitulation move?
So the findings clearly show this name is incredibly oversold on many different technical and statistical readings. And that there is a small edge if one was to buy after this run of drawdown. One for the radar, as a bounce looks imminent even if it isn’t sustained.
Stocks Find SupportStocks are recovering from the dive they took down to 4350. We found support here and seem to be forming a consolidation pattern. We've rejected our level at 4421 as confirmed by a red triangle on the Kovach Reversals Indicator. Currently, we are finding support at lower levels, namely 4380. The Kovach OBV has picked up notably, suggesting we may find further support here. If we see momentum come through for the S&P, expect it to test 4421. If we clear this level we should be able to recover highs early next week.
ATOMOSI have been building a position on this one for a while now a bit after the covid crash and its been trending well with a bit of volatility bouncing around this trend.
We are heading into an EQ level right now after a fairly impulsive move this week so expecting price to pull back a little before continuing up again.
Keeping a close eye on the Supply block from just before the Covid drop as an over all target for now but if the trend continues with momentum and we move into price discovery then could be exciting

Stocks Plunge!! 📉 😱Stocks have tumbled overnight in tandem with Asian stocks who sold off after Alibaba shares in Hong Kong tanked more than 5%. There is strong support at 4350, but that is more than 100 points away from highs. This is a significant dip for the S&P, but we should find support at current levels. This is a 0.618 retracement from the bull run since the beginning of July. We were due for a good dip, and this appears to be an Elliott Wave corrective impulse. We are highly likely to find support at current levels, but if not, the 50% Fibonacci level at 4315 should hold.
