#stockmarket WE Update. Wild week as expected & I expect more fireworks, but are we close to a bottom? #SPX futures bouncing around the 1.5x Demark trendfactor lvl of 3249 (was 3250 when I started this work). day 6 of Demark buy set up....
#stockmarket $SPY also bouncing around the 1.5x TF level of 324 & closed above. I said on Friday that I thought we were at a level where the mkt might bounce & it did. Day 5 of Demark buy set up. We are also into the green zone where there is price memory.....
#stockmarket $QQQ also on count 5 of Demark buy set up & bounced near the 2x TF level around $265. QQQ also approaching the red box where price memory exists....
#stockmarket I also posted on Friday that volatility for the #SPX & #NASDAQ printed Demark 13 seq sells last wk. Just to give you an idea of how rare this is, only 2 in last 5 yrs for the VIX & last one was Mar 16th, 5 days before the mkt bottomed....
#StockMarket The #DOW is actually the first index to test the 200day but only on day 5 of a buy set up. Similar look on the Valueline index, a chart I posted last wk showing a pot'l asc triangle break but w/ combo 13 sell. Demark won that battle, also on day 5 of buy set up...
#StockMarket Smart Money Index was a leading indicator of this decline as I pointed out many times was a problem as it kept trending lower vs higher indexes. Broke the lower end of my channel BUT now w/ a cluster of 13's & likely 9 buy this wk. Maybe this will lead us back higher
#StockMarket McClellan Summation Index overlaid w/ Demarks, hands down the best timing tool I've found, called the turn up in Sept w/ a Demark 13 combo buy, a 9 sell 2 wks ago & now a new 9 buy, but may need to finish the CD to 13 (we'll see)- now day 7 for combo buy....
#StockMarket Put/call got quite elevated last wk, and now higher than Jun low. thats bullish as panic is starting to finally show up....
#stockmarket Ad/Decline Index printed a 13 combo sell last wk, which nailed the turn down, despite most saying was bullish. It is bullish to make new highs - until it turns down. Too much reactivity on Twitter IMO. now on Day 5 of buy set up & approaching bottom of megaphone...
#stockmarket HI/LO index approaching trough levels and closing in on Dec 18 and March '20 levels. lots of negativity showing up and thats bullish IMO....
#stockmarket DMI is actually a bit worrisome w/ the ADX now crossing the lower bound of neg DMI for both the $SPY & $QQQ. Last time that happened was in Feb '20 and the mkt had a lot further to fall....
#stockmarket $SPY $QQQ last 2x before that was in Oct '18, where the mkt still had a long way to fall & in May '19 which proved short lived. Obviously needs to be monitored....
#stockmarket I also posted this chart of HY CDS on Fri to give a snap shot of mkt stress. not seeing much from this picture, still below '18 and way below Covid highs. will be keeping an eye on this for further deterioration which would be quite bearish....
#StockMarket $HYG also doesn't appear too stressed & actually closed up on Friday. That said, needs to stay in the white box. Longer term & similar to CDS, above '18 lows and way above Covid lows. breaking below the highlighted levels would certainly get me more bearish.....
#stockmarket Lastly, I continue to get questions on whether tech has retrenched enough. I will revert to this $QQQ chart I posted in Aug & again in Sept, when I asked, would you buy this chart? I'll ask again, would you buy it now?
#stockmarket concl: mkt is clearly in a DT, & as I have been preaching since Sept, stay light, stay small, take trades. That hasn't changed. I expect more volatility this wk, but as you can see in the aforementioned, things lining up to bottom very soon IMO. most likely 2h of wk.
#stockmarket WE update. As I've been discussing for wks, the mkt would remain choppy into the election & it has. resolution feels closer but not there yet. Friday was constructive but still some issues ST. $SPY now bumping up against the Asc Triangle & back above key MA's...
#stockmarket#Nasdaq is similar & held an important level. threatening to break the Asc Triangle formation and also above key MA's...
#stockmarket fly in the ointment for tech and the #NASDAQ is that a weekly Demark 13 did print last week to go with the $NDQ 13 sell last wk. not much on the daily. keep in mind these signals can be good for 12 weeks so doesn't mean we will turn down immediately but we can.....
#StockMarket WE update: recent Demark 13 sell I posted this wk marked the swing high & choppiness ensued. Fri was ugly but could be opex related so for now just expecting more of the same unless stimulus resolution breaks us out or down. set up seems bullish but needs to confirm
#stockmarket Demark Trendfactor lvls continue to be a good guide. 13 sell peaked @ 1x up lvl, & found support on 1/2 lvl down. see white boxes for up lvls & blue for down lvls in chart above. daily #SPX chart below also showing a close right @ 5 day EMA on Fri....
#stockmarket#SPX $SPY weekly chart ended w/ a doji candle which shows indecision, & intuitively makes sense given the impasse over stimulus. To me this chart is intermediate term bullish - Large C&H w/ resistance at the B/O point. could it break down from here? sure...
#stockmarket WE update. Sometimes when everything seems to be working, breaking out, acting as it should or we hope, IMO, means things are getting too easy. My gut says we are there & time to retrench a bit. Last wk pump job screwed the bears but could mean now we fall harder....
#Stockmarket hard to know how this shakes out but as you can see in this thread, my indicators are flashing yellow. $INDU currently w/ first Demark Seq 13 sell last wk since the low & new aggressive seq 13 w/ so sto overbot. also hitting wkly resistance. but Prop up tgt =29526...
#stockmarket#SPX also w/ a Demark Seq 13 sell looming if trade +3509. Slot sto also overbot. upside & downside Trend factor lvls in white boxes. 3rd D-wave tgt @ 2975. currently hitting 1.5x upside level....
#StockMarket I hope you all had a great WE. Some quick mkt thoughts as head into a new wk. Last WE I suggested a break of 50day/wk low could yield #SPX 3280ish, we reached 3292. RSI divergence was erased; next Demark Trend Factor levels: 3262 & 3200 (coincides w/ 3180 area)....
#StockMarket#SPX I also mentioned the pot'l for a midwk turnaround on Demark exhaustion signals but early wk strength negated the count & has now started over. the Naz also erased its count & now has a Demark propulsion down tgt of 10470. still looks very vulnerable....
#StockMarket#SPX did close below the important 10wk for the first time while the Naz closed below for the 2nd wk in a row = not bullish....
#StockMarket officially back from Vaca & back in the saddle. The call last week to fade $QQQ was the correct one. -5.7% peak to trough, & the argument for rotation pot'l also occurred. That said the mkt is stubbornly resilient and tough to be too bearish, yet i remain cautious:
#StockMarket $QQQ weekly ugly candle on elevated volume and last time we saw that happen, more weakness ensued. RSI continues to neg diverge & now threatening to break the RSI trend line. MACD neg divergence as well w/ recent lower high and neg cross again....
#stockmarket#SPX looks much better and arguably looks and feels like wants to break out. meaningful supply zone ahead to be aware of w/ a break higher of last wk high, w/ new tgts 3257 and Covid gap resistance of 3360. pot'l for SPX +MACD monthly cross soon = bullish MT....
