What's going on with The Dow Jones Transportation Index? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Marty_Chenard
The best way we can describe the Dow Jones Transportation Index is that it is in a short term up trend, but in the lower half of a six month trading range.
The Transportation Index has been in a trading range since the end of last October (see the boxed in area). The Index is not very strong at this time, so it is in a higher-risk condition.

The Stock Market and FED Day: What Next? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last time I wrote that I believed that the market would fall into my next cycle projection low due on the FOMC meeting announcement day, April 29. It came early today and forced us to cover our short positions and go long (this market will keep you on your toes for sure). More than half the battle trading the market is recognizing when you are wrong.

Stock Market Delayed Decline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Ed_Carlson
The recent forecast for a high on April 15 looked good as the Dow stalled out the next day and then dropped almost 280 points on April 17. But according to the forecast for the next low the “tax-day top” was supposed to precede a decline into late last week. Instead, the market has rallied from the low on April 17.

Big Moves Coming in the Stock Market! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad _Gudgeon
After reading today’s market action, I realized that we were due a bigger move down this week than I originally had anticipated. I have been short the market somewhat from last week from near 2120 SPX, but not heavily so. I sold my leveraged long positions I picked up around 2073/78 on April 17 at 2118 Thursday for a nice 8% profit (all verifiable). The reason I’m writing is to update what I’m seeing going forward, not to gloat over my recent market gains.Read full article... Read full article...

Still No Stock Market Breakout...Another Failure....AAPL Huge / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
I am writing this report before the Apple Inc. (APPL) earnings report this evening. The market gapped up today and broke out above 2119, yet, again, this time reaching near 2126. It looked like the day was finally upon us, only to see those bears come in yet again to take the market below 2119 on a closing basis. Another good try by the bulls, but short-term very overbought conditions put the bulls back to sleep for now. They were excited. Folks were certain that the market had finally made the move, but it failed again. The failure doesn't have to be big picture. It can rock back up tomorrow on a solid AAPL report, or even if it's not and we fall some, the market can try again after things calm down for a bit.

Stock Market Back into The Bear Suits / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: WavePatternTraders
SPX
In last week's report we were focused on looking for more upside for the US markets, I was confident that the prior decline was a corrective decline and new all time highs would be seen on the SPX. We could not have asked for more, out plan worked our well, much better than I had thought.

Desperate Stock Market Bubble Thinking Takes Hold on Wall Street / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Money_Morning
Michael E. Lewitt writes: If it looks like a bubble, smells like a bubble and walks like a bubble, it is a bubble.
What we have in the certain stocks today is a bubble every bit as epic as the one that took the NASDAQ Composite Index (INDEX:.IXIC) to its previous record of 5048 back in 2000.
There are few certainties in this world, but one of them is that bubbles pop.

Stocks Bull Market Looks to Resume / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 2081, gapped up on Monday/Tuesday hitting 2110, pulled back to 2091 by Wednesday, then with a gap up on Friday hit a new high at 2121. For the week the SPX/DOW gained 1.6%, the NDX/NAZ gained 3.8%, and the DJ World index gained 1.6%. Economic reports were sparse, and again biased to the upside. On the uptick: the FHFA, existing home sales, durable goods orders and the WLEI. On the downtick: new homes sales plus weekly jobless claims were higher. Next week will be highlighted by Q1 GDP, the FOMC meeting, and PCE prices.

When the Nuclear Money Option Fails / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Doug_Wakefield
"To combat the economic fallout caused by the credit crisis (07-08), countries have allowed their fiscal deficits to increase dramatically. In order to pay the bills, governments had to sell enormous amounts of bonds. As more and more investors stopped buying these government bonds, central banks needed to step up to the plate. By turning on the (digital) printing presses, they have been buying up bad debts and government bonds to a total of $10 trillion worldwide, between 2008 and 2013. Economists describe this process as the monetization of debt by central banks. Economic textbooks refer to this process as 'the nuclear option' - only to be used when no other method of financing can be applied effectively. This is a process that is easy to start, but almost impossible to stop."

Waiting for NDX Stocks Index Reversal to Confirm the SPX High / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX’s high yesterday at 2120.49 may have fulfilled the requirement for its final high, including a minor trading channel high. The overnight futures action did not break out above that level. The Premarket is up, but at this point only at a 50% retracement of the decline into the close. USD/JPY is declining beneath 120.00, suggesting there may be no further support from the Yen Carry trade.

What is a Stock Market Index? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
For many people – entering the stock market and truly understanding the investment options available can be confusing. Today we will speak about stock market indexes and why these are important and how they work.The most simple explanation is this: an index is literally made up of several stock prices into a single number. An Index can be made up based on markets or industries – and as the Options Industry Council (OIC) says, “Some are broad-based and measure moves in broad, diverse markets. Others are narrow-based and measure more specific industry sectors of the marketplace.”

SPX Meets Cycle Top Resistance / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX finally broke above what may either be a Triangle or its look-alike. I chose to label the second choice for a number of reasons.
First, this is already an Ending Diagonal formation made up of corrective looking zigzags with a rising bottom trendline. I view the declining top as an “accident” that may fool quite a number of analysts. The reason is that the Triangle projects a potential high in the range of 2176.00 to 2200.00. The Ending Diagonal projects an ending range of 2115.00 to 2144.00 with an average near 2125.00.
