Is The SPX Stock Market Top Finally In? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The market is EXTREMELY oversold and is not yet in the Trending Mode! Therefore, with NO CONFIRMED Trend and oversold momentum oscillators, the market should bounce back, early this week. The SPX was in a Bollinger Band Squeeze for 5-6 weeks, but finally broke down, last Friday, September 9th, 2016. Every asset class was down. This is NOT “buy the bounce” situation.

Stock Market Seatbelts Buckled? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
SPX continued its retracement to the 76.78% retracement level, very close to the 78.6% Fib retracement. The stopper appears to be the lower trendline of the Orthodox Broadening Top. This potentially adds validity to the formation and indicates a panic decline to its Average Target.
The average decline from the bottom trendline is 23%, while the majority of those declines are usually 20% or more.

3 Clear Signs the US Stock Market Is Doomed / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
BY TONY SAGAMI : The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been going sideways ever since the Commerce Department reported that retail sales in July came to a grinding halt (0.0%).

Stock Market Double Bottom Positive Divergence Fails To Rally Market Big For Now / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The market recently tested down to 2119 last Friday on the talk of a rate hike and poor economic reports. We saw the ISM Manufacturing Report and services come in well below expectations. Friday was painful, but the market tested down to 2019, which is still one full percent above the 2100 up trend line of massive support. After a fed Brainard rally on Monday, we saw the market head lower once again yesterday as it touched 2120. A nice double bottom at the lows, which also happened to set up a positive divergence on the short-term only, sixty-minute index charts. The daily charts aren't anything worth talking about from a bullish perspective. They're now more bearish in nature. However, a double bottom with short-term positive divergences usually means, especially in a bull market, that we'll test higher somewhat short-term.

Stock Market Wild Week Ahead: The Selling is Not Through! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
A lot of traders I know were thinking that a low on Monday would be it and then off to the races. I was in that camp too. The problem is the rising wedge was never broken. So what now? Pretty much the same for the SPX and GDX: another strong rise on Wednesday followed by even more severe selling toward the week’s end. I’m thinking more like the SPX 2045 area by Sept 16-19.

Stock Market Three Peaks and a Domed House / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Friday’s decline broke the neckline of a small head-and-shoulders pattern seeming to leave behind the cupola Lindsay described as the top of his Domed House pattern: points 21 - 25.
If the market holds to the template, the Dow should fall to point 26 and rebound to point 27 within the same price range as the First Floor Roof (points 15-20).

Stock Market Freefall Episode Coming Soon... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

Stock Market Expanded Zone Of Importance....Bears Do What They Do Best... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
On Friday we had one those gigantic down days we see every so often on big volume and a horrendous On Friday we had one those gigantic down advance decline line.

That is, until we moved from the stock market to the fed market where all seems to be well no matter what is taking place in the real world economy.

Stock Market Predicts Donald Trump Victory / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
Some of you know that I like to forecast fundamentals based on my view of the technicals. We have had success with this in the past predicting a No vote in the Greek referendum on the EU bailout when polls suggested the Yes vote would prevail and also recently predicting a Brexit Leave vote when a vote to Remain was clearly favoured by the polls.
I believe the markets have a sixth sense and wrote an article about this titled The Sixth Sense of Markets, produced on the 14th April 2016, which is available to view on my website.

Are These Billionaire Bets Ringing Bells at the Stock Market Top? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
The billionaires are coming out of the woodwork.
Carl Icahn paid his way through Princeton playing poker. The man understands risks and has accrued one of the largest fortunes in history playing the markets. Regardless of whether or not you think he’s a shark when it comes to activism, he usually wins and wins big.
Icahn is more bearish now than at any point in his life. He has 149% NET short the market.

Stock Market Hard Gap Down And Run.... Fed Governor's Talking Rate Hike... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
When you have negative divergences on an index chart, or any chart for that matter, you're waiting for a gap down to occur in order to get that negative divergence to kick in and create real down side action. The gap down we saw today was quite powerful, but what was even more impressive was the gap and run lower. Many times we get a gap down, but most of the damage is done in the first few minutes. After that the market starts to recover and all is forgiven. This gap down didn't have those characteristics. Quite the opposite. It gapped down quite nicely and kept running lower. A sign of real selling from the big boys and girls who rule price. A negative divergence can be in place for weeks or months before the right candle stick hits and carries it appreciably lower.

The SPX decline has a lot of downside work to do, so don’t be surprised.
