Stock Market Large Gap Down, Despite the Algos' Push Back
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015 Mar 26, 2015 - 01:00 PM GMT
At 5:00 am the SPX futures were down 19 points, but a push-back ensued to cut that decline nearly in half. The Premarket still shows the better part of that rout in stocks.
ZeroHedge reports, “In a somewhat surprising turn of events, this morning's futures reaction to last night's shocking start of a completely unexpected Yemen proxy war, which has seen an alliance of Gulf State launch an air, and soon land, war against Yemen's Houthi rebels, is what one would expect: down, and down big.”
Here’s a surprise. The NDX was dow 45 points earlier in the session, crossing both the 50-day Moving Average and its cycle Bottom Support. The algos managed to push it back above Cycle Bottom. It is still unclear whether it will find support for a bounce at the Cycle Bottom or not.
Dow futures collapsed nearly 167 points before the bounce brought it back to a loss of approximately 90 points. It’s unclear whether the Dow opens above or below the Cycle Bottom,,,a critical juncture.
VIX challenged its 50-day Moving Average in the morning futures, but fell back closer to the open. This may be the top of a sub-Minute Wave (iii) with a pullback for Wave (iv) to come.
Crude futures jumped to 52.47 overnight but scaled back to 50.41 based on a rumor of the death of a Houthi leader.
ZeroHedge reports, “After overnight strength in oil (post-Yemen) and bonds and gold (and weakness in stocks), the last few minutes have seen some of this reverse as chatter crosses the wire of the death of top Houthi leadership in Yemen. Oil prices are tumbling, the dollar is surging, and bond yields are spiking. Stocks are starting to creep off the lows...”
TNX spiked higher and is challenging its 50-day Moving Average at 19.58. This is the beginning of a rally that may strike fear into investors of the imminent rate hike since it has the ability to rally all the way to its Cycle Top at 22.54.
More commentary after the open.
