Stock Market Set up for a Flash Crash
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015 Jun 05, 2015 - 10:08 AM GMT
As I had suggested, SPX impulse down to the double Megaphone trendline. It appears ready for a retracement, but it is hard to tell if it will go much beyond the 50-day Moving Average.
Remember, this is the start of a Minute Wave [iii]. Things may get interesting from here, even though it is only less than 2% off the market high. Yesterday’s high may be the top of point 7 in the Orthodox Broadening Top pattern. The opportunity for a flash crash is very high…about 96% once SPX makes its 2nd decline through the trendline.
The next Pivot low may be between June 11 and June 18, which would be 10.75 days and enough for a smaller flash crash (7-8%). Should SPX make it to 1980.00 or lower by then, we may see a sharp rally followed by a deeper crash into the Master Cycle low due on or near July 2 after options expiration.
VIX made a credible show today, closing up nearly 9%, even after a pullback. Again, it is hard to say whether the pullback was sufficient to allow the VIX to immediately resume its ramp in the morning, but the monthly Jobs Report is due at 8:30 am, so further consolidation may be restricted to the overnight futures.
Volatility was up worldwide today. We will be watching the Asian and European markets in the morning for indications of what may come next here.
WTIC wasted no time resuming its decline. It still needs to cross the 50-day Moving Average at 56.50 to confirm the new trend, but all indications are for a continued decline into mid-June with more substantial lows in late July.
Gold declined less than a percent today, but the Head & Shoulders formation suggests another 50 point decline by mid-June.
MUT lost its 50-day Moving Average support today as well. Mid-Cycle and the 200-day are just beneath it. It won’t take but another 5% decline to challenge its Cycle Bottom and Broadening Wedge formation.

Tony
