Note - The width of the BB's on the daily chart are extremely tight indicating something is about to bust. Up or down? That is what I am trying to decipher.
Bear case - Bottom line is the weekly and daily indicators are headed south and the 60m (see chart below) is topping out and possibly rolling over. That puts all three in line for a powerful move if it happens.
Bull case - 1) the 60m turn signals are not confirmed yet 2) the action of the RSI on the daily chart (holding 50 and headed up), the MACD hist on the daily is stopping its fall, the S Sto on the daily appears to be losing some momo.
I'm hoping the rollover of the 60m and having the opex trade out of the way will make room for more downside action. I want 945 so bad I can taste it. I have two channels drawn on the chart (red and Blue). All lines are copies of the other. They both would make for nice targets. The tight ass BB's on the daily indicate something is about to bust a move big time, so be careful if you are short or long. When it runs, you'll know what team to be on.
My other thoughts - on the VIX - Well, I'm not going to call it totally irrelevant, but it may have lost some of it's luster IMO. I honestly think it will put in the dead cat bounce and possibly go for the backtest of the falling wedge. This will occur on the last hurah as the market climbs to 1050 after this correction. If the $SSEC Shanghai index is any indication, it has led the SPX and with this most recent fall after peaking, maybe, just maybe, the trend holds. As for the dollar and oil - who the heck knows. They are both so manipulated. I'm guessing the bottom is in for the dollar and a top is in on oil, but those are only guesses.

Good post Shanky. Odds favor a breakdown based on TA as your charts show. One thing to add is when the ADX "black" line curls up or down the line farthest away will prevail. Right now on the daily the black line is curling down and the red line is lower than the green so this adds to the bearish case.
ReplyDeleteYour charts are the best.
I wonder which one of these econ reports are going to put on the black swan suit. I'm thinking it is an unemployement report. According to one article on Financial sense, they predict a loss of 1.6M jobs over the next 2 months based on waviness in the data, which will shock the world.

ReplyDeleteThanks S135 - That's a great link. Funny but true but scary all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSo much for the bear call. Hey - it sounded good and I went with it. Looks like my bull case is coming thru. Glad I was not totally one sided. I should have known that bad jobs data would have been a catalyst this am. The title of the post was too good not to go with it.
