Too much work to show so going with a simple chart to illustrate the idea. Full work says total downside risk is -205 starting Monday April 9 and Ending Tuesday April 10. I might be wrong because I also have an alternate scenario which shows us making a nice recovery. Since the downside risk scenario was so nasty I decided to alert the community. If we make a TA...
I have no idea if price action is going to take the index higher but I will be looking to short this action based on how it bounced off the low. When you have this quick of a recovery I would naturally want to take some profits at this point which means others are thinking the same. I would like to see a trigger form before making the play. This is a simple...
Just thinking that if we finally (at the minimum) see a correction here it should be quite spectacular. However, we won't know it till we see it. Watch the HSI for clues...maybe history will repeat itself!
The sell-off in TLT and 10-year UST is waving a big yellow flag at the moment. The short and long cycle waves are in agreement going into tomorrow. Look for a gentle pullback tomorrow followed by more momentum going into next week. Wait for a trigger to enter a trade.
Watching Janet Yellen speak is getting harder to watch and listen to. If you want to get my video updates you will find them on my blog, the link is in my profile since doing the write-up twice is redundant. So we saw DXY shoot-up and bonds sell-off after the decision. I currently have short-dated ATM calls and longer-dated OTM puts working. October will be more...
OK sports fans what we saw at one minute till End of Day was a hardcore bid to make 2500 which was met by an equal amount of offers. It was a goal-line push at the one yard line. So what does this tell us? Almost absolutely nothing! Hurricane hits and hurricanes coming - no effect. Missiles flying over Japan - nothing. Bomb goes off in London subway - nothing. So...
So what we have here is a breakout from the Downtrend channel and if you are invested in silver at this point you may want to look at constructing a trading plan around it. I have a bullish algo cycle in the works until 9/25/2017 so you would look at buying the dips or scalping until then. OUr upside target is 17.58 with buy entries coming in at the 16.22 - 16.29...
You only have two levels to watch 2456.5 and 2446.4 if we take out those levels you know what to do. If you don't know what to do then wait on the sidelines. If you took the late morning sell trigger then place your stop at break-even. Here is the summary: 1. Inertial lines fell twice intraday = bearish 2. DXY at 91.32 = bearish 3. UST 10-year closed at 2.054 =...
So we retraced a little at EOD which also provided a confirming trigger to take a short but who want to short at the start of a long weekend? Well, if you're using options it's not a big deal, and the market price of puts at TA levels was really cheap so I guess I must raise my hand! My algo timing wave is showing the bull move timed out at mid-day today. There...
So the market broke the downward channel tracking back to 8/8/2017 and pushed through Fib retracement levels of the full swing with very few pauses. There are a couple ways to look at it and break it down. Firstly, it broke the downward channel which is bullish. Secondly, we have had 2 bull trend days in a row which is bullish Thirdly, it pulled back after...
For the set-up next week we are dropping down to a 2-hour time frame as we crossed thresholds using other analysis tools so managing your trades will be a little different next week. If you are following this work you should be 'net' flat going into next week. If you are long apply tight trailing stops. The VVIX closed at 95.53 which I consider a 'neutral' read,...
On the Algo time cycle we still have a downward bias. Key levels are 2435.5 and 2418.5 so if you are short you will need to see 2418.5 taken out on either Monday or Tuesday. If you are long then you will need to see 2435.5 taken out in the same time frame. Since the bias is for more down until 8/27 any counter-trend play should have tight stops in place and be...
Based on Algo time cycles and Fib retracement we are at an interesting place. The bias appears to be on the downside but if we stay above the pivot (purple line) we could waffle around until August 27. I wouldn't get too excited about going short unless we see a breakdown in the market in the overnight (ES) leading into the opening on 8/16. I think babysitting is...
Now that we have touched pretty lofty levels in the indexes and traders may have taken a few too many trips to the Trumponomics cocktail party punchbowl, let us take a step back and make sure they weren't serving Jonestown brand Guyana Kool-Aide. The rising intermediate support line is currently at 2204 - 2205 and all bullish parties involved have a vested...
There is a lot of spent and unspent optimism on what Trump will mean to infrastructure spending. I have no idea if it will mean good things to FCX, but I like this set-up
I'm calling the move from the Feb 11 lows till today a rising wedge. I could be very wrong but right now all the pot odds favor a pull-back
December 4 is the Italy Referendum, hard to say how everyone will take the vote. My guess is badly. On the ABCD you can see where we will achieve equality between AB & CD funny how it seems to peak on Dec 2 right before the fireworks. If you are unsure I would be flat going into the vote, but be prepared for some action as I am sure we will be on the move starting...
As a proxy for the market AAPL is a tarnished darling and a sentimental favorite. I don't like shorting icons or taking a short position when the markets are making new highs, but a study is a study and sometimes the most 'unthinkable' play is the most profitable. Not betting the house on a pull-back but took a small position with options at a strike on 110...
