Stock Market Decline Signals are Near
Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017 Dec 15, 2017 - 06:15 AM GMTSPX appears to have begun its decline. However, it may bounce at the two trendlines intersecting with Short-term support at 2644.74. Relief may be coming for those who have remained short the past two weeks.
While I will be discussing the signals from the VIX and Hi-Lo, I wish to point out that the best short entries are often at a bounce. Aggressive short entries will be subject to whipsaw. Thus, smaller portions are recommended until fully confirmed.
In the meantime a confirmed sell signal from the chart would be beneath the Diagonal trendline near mid-Cycle support at 2609.02.
Once NDX is in gear, it is likely to decline quickly and forcefully. Nonetheless, I suggest waiting until it hs declined beneath Short-term support at 6349.56 or the trendline/mid-Cycle support at 6325.51.
The Head & Shoulders neckline provides a minute Wave [iii] target, while the Orthodox Broadening Top may provide an Minor Wave 3 target. The double top also makes a Cup with Handle with a Wave 5 target near 3800.00.
VIX has broken out above the 50-day Moving Average, giving an aggressive signal. That doesn’t mean it won’t pull b ack beneath the 50-day. However, it suggests that aggressive positions may be taken at the pullback.
The NYSE Hi-Lo is also on an aggressive sell signal, pending a close beneath mid-Cycle resistance at 98.97. It has broken out beneath the trendline. The best indicator will be a close beneath the trendline and perhaps in negative territory.
USD/JPY is on a sell signal, making a low of 112.08 today. That is due more from the Yen making a strong reversal than the USD taking a nosedive. This currency pair has the most influence on liquidity in the markets. The Yen is overdue for a very strong rally that may influence its relationship with the USD.
Stay alert. Things are beginning to change.

Tony
