Best Financial Markets Analysis Article Some of you have written in asking me about the new logo. I apologize for not clarifying this earlier. I am branding all of my content and communications going forward under the banner of Phoenix Capital Research.

The reason for this is that I believe the coming years will prove to be a time of massive wealth destruction. My newsletters and writing will be devoted to helping investors navigate this mess so they can emerge from it successfully, just as the mythological Phoenix emerges reborn from its former ashes.

So it’s still me, still doing what I do best, just with a new logo and a new brand.

Now, on to the markets.

The markets in general are coming up on their 200-weekly moving averages. This is pretty much occurring across the board, though it is most obvious on the Dow:

Many technical traders and Elliot Wave folks think this will prove the top or ultimate resistance level for this market rally started March 2009. The market internals (low volume, weak momentum, etc) combined with sentiment (bullishness back to 2007 levels, the VIX down near 15 before last Friday, etc) certainly lend themselves to the case that a Top of some sort if being formed. Whether it proves to be THE top remains to be seen.

We get further evidence of a potential top forming from the emerging markets. The BRICs led the market to the upside, bottoming in November 2008 while the US markets continued to plunge into March 2009. So with that in mind I want to point out that the BRICs are rolling over:

China: no new as central banks begin to tighten.

Brazil: a new high but now rolling over.

Does this spell imminent Doom for the US markets? Not necessarily, but we are getting very close to having a significant (possibly THE) top in place. Those “in the know” (insiders) continue to unload shares by the truckload.

Monitor this situation closely. Remember, tops don’t form on bad news, they form on good news. And blow-out earnings from financials is about as good as it gets when your entire financial system is propped up myths and lies.

Good Investing!
