Stock Market Bounce Stops at Resistance
Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017 Sep 26, 2017 - 03:44 PM GMT
SPX has apparently been stopped at the Ending Diagonal trendline. The oversold condition has been relieved enough to allow the decline to resume. Should it continue, it is likely to be a complex affair, as it has been so far. As mentioned earlier, the next support appears to be the 50-day Moving Average at 2470.53. But that may not be all. The overlap suggests the decline is nowhere near being finished, so don’t be surprised if the decline starts to accelerate..
ZeroHedge reports, “The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence measure for September disappointex expectations with both current and future indices dropping (the former more than the latter).
Differences across regions are very notable as storms impacted confidence...
However, what is most concerning (for the powers-that-be), is the plunge in faith that the stock market will go higher...
The NDX rallied short of its 50-day Moving Average at 5910.68. In addition it hasn’t overlapped with a lesser degree Wave (i) at 5915.74. This gives the decline “permission” to continue as an impulse. Impulsive Waves decline in 5, 9, 13, 17, etc. Wave segments. One can easily see five waves, so the next extension may give it 9 Waves and potentially reach the Cycle Bottom at 5776.63, as a minimum.
The Russell 2000 appears to be completing “point 9” in what is usually referred to as a 5-point reversal. This indicates the influence of the Central Banks that have started buying small cap stocks this year after taking majority positions in many large cap companies. In fact, The Bank of Japan owns such a large share of the Nikkei that there is some concern about their capability of nationalizing the market. The RUT Cycles usually closely track the SPX Cycles, but with varying intensity, as you can see.
We may expect to see the RUT turn down at the top of this bounce in the SPX today. This accounts for the 4-day lag between the two indices.
The VIX is back in positive territory after its morning pullback. The VIX buy signal (SPX sell signal) occurs at the crossing of the Short-term and 50-day resistance at 10.86.
