The Eight Energy Systems Driving The Stock Market Rout / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Dan_Amerman
The energy systems which drove the global stock market rout have been building for months and years, and by the spring of this year, the danger flags were clearly flying. Indeed, as I wrote in May of 2015 in an analysis titled "A Financial "Perfect Storm" May Be Brewing" (link here):
"In the financial world at this very moment, we have eight different "weather systems" that are all developing in real time.
... if several of the more powerful components were to converge – and reinforce each other – then we could very rapidly reach the point of greatest financial instability that the world has seen since 2008."

Stock Market Margin Calls Mount / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
I have been busy aligning the Wave structures among the various Indexes that we are following. Starting with the SPX, I believe that we are seeing a larger degree wave structure on the decline than on the way up. Because SPX has broken the 4-year trendline, it is possible that Primary Wave [1] or [A] may reach its target at 1650. Diamond and Broadening Top formations usually indicate targets for Wave (C) or (3). In this case there is not enough time for a fifth Intermediate Wave, I am becoming more certain that we will see an (A)-(B)-(C) Wave of Primary Wave [A] ending next week. After a 2-3 week retracement we may see a 5-Wave Primary [C] of Cycle Wave I ending in March, 2016.

The Difference Between What Traders and Investors Should Do Now / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Investment_U
Alexander Green writes:Over the last couple of weeks, the market has rallied, plunged and rallied again.
Should you buy into this craziness right now? That depends on whether you consider yourself a trader or an investor.
There are a lot of opportunities out there right now for medium- to long-term investors. But it looks dicier for short-term traders.

Stock Market Trend & Trade Signal Of the Decade / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Chris_Vermeulen
U.S. stocks closed lower Tuesday after a failed attempt to rally from the Dow’s worst 3-day point decline. It’s something I have not seen since the 2008 GLOBAL financial crisis.
The market had its first rally of the downtrend yesterday but it would be a BIG mistake to get bullish for new long-term investments at this point. The major trend is down. The odds favor that this is to be only the first phase of the decline. Today’s rally could take us to 1965 – 2040 level on the SP500. I will be taking short positions in the US markets soon.

Stock Market Retracement Rally May be Over / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX appears to have completed its retracement just shy of the 50% retracement value at 1985.25. If so, it is due for the next decline. This may be point 7 of the Orthodox Broadening Top with point 8 being the crash bottom.

Stock Market Relief Rally... End Of Pullback Or More To Come? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
Today pretty much went as expected. Dramatically oversold conditions not seen in basically forever. A six-day down move that was historic in nature, and caused daily index-chart RSI's to get well below 20, which is extremely rare. The futures were up big yesterday into the same type of oversold conditions, but nearly five-hundred points worth of Dow gains ended the day with two-hundred points worth of losses.

Stock Market Crash Black Wednesday Rally Crushes the Bears / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The mainstream financial press and blogosfear has been full of relentless stories all week painting a picture of doom and gloom. Even the usually buoyant CNBC air heads that usually sit smack middle on the fence, today had turned bearish with expectations at mid US trading today for the days stocks rally to soon run out of steam and reverse to a down close much as the Dow did yesterday. Instead what did the stock market do? It did CRASH, but it was to the UPSIDE! For if falls of 3.5% have been reported on in the press as a CRASH with headlines of Black Monday, then an greater upwards daily move of 619 points, 3.95% should surely be reported upon as a stock market crash to the upside!

VIX Shorts Being Squeezed While SPX Prepares for Another Decline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Today’s SPX managed to stay in the black, but it’s a Pivot day. This bounce is not a good omen for the market for that reason and the fact that it remains under the hourly Cycle Bottom resistance at 1923.36.
It gives us confirmation of the Wave structure illustrated on the chart. A Wave [iii] would continue to stay under Cycle Bottom resistance, while Wave [iv] may venture inside and Wave [v] ride above the Cycle Bottom until completion.

Start of Stock Market Third Wave / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX nearly took out SPX’s Monday morning lows by mere ticks. This doesn’t bode well for the overnight session. It appears that wave [iii] of 3 or C has begun.
Potentially bad news out of China may set the stage for a much larger sell-off both in China and in the US.

Stock Market Tanks In Last 15 Minutes; Correction Not Done? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Rubino
That was sudden. After soaring at the open and holding big gains all day, US equities fell off the table in the last 15 minutes of trading, ending over 500 DOW points below the day’s high. Guess the, um, uncertainty isn’t over.

Stock Market Hybrid Lindsay Forecast for a Low / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Ed_Carlson
My July 28 commentary was the last time I gave an update on my Hybrid Lindsay model (a hybrid approach to the work of the late technician, George Lindsay). In that commentary I mentioned my forecast for a low in the period July 24-31 and that I felt the expected low was "very close and may have already been seen last Friday". As it turned out, the low was that Monday, July 27.

CNBC Bimbos Stock Market Rebound Ecstasy / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: James_Quinn
The CNBC bubble headed bimbos and brainless stock touting twits will be in ecstasy today as the ever predictable rebound is under way. The market will soar by over 500 points at the opening as the excuse of the day is China’s desperate interest rate cut to try and stem their downward spiraling economy and markets. The Wall Street captured boob tube brigade will tell their almost non-existent viewership that all is well. The terrifying plunge is in the past. The economy is great. Housing is strong. Stocks are now a bargain. It’s the best time to buy.

The Stock Markets Are Extraordinarily Volatile, Here's What to Do / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: The Dow swung more than 1,000 points in each direction over the course of trading yesterday. The market chaos started in Asia and spread to the United States as the day went on.
That the markets plunged that far in the first place is a sure sign that panic is definitely setting in. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the angst just like you do. You're not alone.

Stock Market Sound the Alarm / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Bob_Loukas
We saw an amazing capitulation event in equities these past three sessions. It’s clear that market internals were weak, but no one could have foreseen the degree and rapidity of the selloff. The major US indices have already entered into official corrections (-10%), while many world markets are approaching bear market (-20%) territory. And it’s unlikely the declines are over. Friday’s drop was a massive distribution day, with 93% of volume trading lower. With a 1,433 point decline, that was the largest three day DOW decline on record.
The VIX spiked sharply, showing the sort of extreme panic/fear in the market that is typically reserved for the end of Investor and Yearly Cycle declines. If we use the the four-year rally in equities as our guide, this type of sell-off corresponds with markets completing a Cycle Low, after which they should turn higher and rally for 10-20 weeks in a new Cycle.

Clint Siegner: U.S. Investors are on edge following last week’s and today’s sell-off in stocks around the globe. The carnage impacted equity markets in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.
Interestingly, the U.S. dollar also weakened. And bonds and gold are getting most of the safe-haven buying.

Stock Market Not Pretty.....Nothing Good For The Bulls..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
I can simply say the market is toast and stop the rest of this note, but let's explore what's taken place over the past few days. Let me try to lead you to where I think we're going. We know that the long-term monthly charts have been flashing trouble for quite some time now. The Nasdaq monthly chart had been overbought with a 70+ RSI for two, full years. Red flag number one with gusto.
