Gold, Stocks and the Miners Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
One is the star of the year so far, grinding higher in what could be the launch phase of a new bull market as confidence wanes in the face of NIRP and other desperate global policy actions, and the realization that this disgraceful policy designed to spur speculation and asset price appreciation is all policy makers have got left in their bags of tricks. The endgame is a bag with a hole in it; a monetary black hole.
The other grinds on in what could be the last significant hope replenishing bounce before new downside is explored. Various US and global indexes are already in bear markets but casino patrons are trained to look at the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow as “the stock market” and these have not yet gone ‘bear’. If the current bear-trend bounce fails however, that confirmation would be coming promptly.

Stocks, It's all about Oil... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
It’s all about oil as the IEA and banks do their best to elevate the price of oil, topping at 38.95 this morning while encouraging oil companies to raise cash with equity offerings at their newly inflated price so that their (bank’s) loans may be paid off. The obvious conflicts of interest (and possible jail time) are being ignored, indicating the sense of desperation about this maneuver.

Stock Market Truth Is Dangerous / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
The current bullish climb for US stock indices is now seven years old. Yet, many pundits, investment bankers, and even central bankers are warning that downside risk is growing. Maybe, but I believe stocks will likely continue their bull run. The February rally of 2016 was a clear result of ‘calendarization’. That is, the fourth quarter is always good so investors receive a pretty statement at the beginning of January. This makes all the lies the government tells about the economy seem copacetic. Central bankers and Wall Street shills make it so. Tired from a quarter of constant price manipulation, these manipulators take a few weeks off in January. Naturally without unnatural support, stock indices take a dive. Panicked at the thought of investors receiving a negative January monthly statement, the central banker manipulation crowd goes into overdrive in February pushing stock indexes back up so investor psyche will be soothed by a positive February statement. Still worried about negative first quarter statements courtesy of the January beating, the manipulators continue pushing indexes higher through March. We have seen this movie over and over. I call it ‘calendar-ization’. If clients ask what is happening in the stock carnivals, I check the calendar first. And like all rallies, this one was all based on lies (improving economics), false data (corporate earnings), and hope (central bankers will save us with more stimulus). The central bankers are throwing us a birthday party and it’s not even our birthday. So why are so many people pessimistic about price levels and the recent rally?

Stock Market Retracement High was Made... Prepare for What's Next / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX clearly made a corrective high beneath Friday’s high before impulsively declining to its low at 1969.25. The 61.8% retracement is at 1991.39, where the bounce may be expected to go. We may see the ensuing decline begin in earnest either in the last hour of the day or overnight. Be Prepared.

Mario Supersized Stock Market Stimulus / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Mario Draghi supersized his stimulus announcement. EuroStoxx ramped after the announcement, but what will be the follow-through? Will this be another Kuroda, European style?
ZeroHedge Reports, “Well, the people wanted a "bazooka-sized" surprise from Draghi, and they got it.

SP500 Stocks Index still at 2,000 Mark - Which Direction is Next? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Paul_Rejczak
Briefly: In our opinion, speculative short positions are favored (with stop-loss at 2,050, and profit target at 1,900, S&P 500 index).
Our intraday outlook is bearish, and our short-term outlook is bearish, as we expect a downward correction or short-term uptrend's reversal at some point. Our medium-term outlook remains bearish, as the S&P 500 index extends its lower highs, lower lows sequence. We decided to change our long-term outlook to neutral recently, following a move down below medium-term lows:

Stock Market Update / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Over the weekend, my thinking was we had higher prices ahead of us. I actually ignored the astrological reversal mid-zone of the Sun translating Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter on March 4th. My logic was the powerful, advancing MACD and momentum indicators. My main reservation was the lack of early volume.

Draghi On Deck... Stock Market Waiting On His Decision On Stimulus.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
We have had a bifurcated market for the entire year. The Nasdaq is now down nearly 7% for the year, with the S&P 500 down only a drop over 2%. Why is that you ask? Simple really. The bear market is froth, but still hasn't died as evidenced by the action in the world of the FANG!! Facebook, Inc. (FB), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), Google Inc. (GOOG), and Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), all slaughtered big time today, along with all of them losing key, exponential moving averages. Some lost all three in today's action alone. Merciless selling in leaders with high beta and higher P/E's.

Stock Market Smart Money is Quietly Getting Out of Dodge / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
It appears that SPX may close between 1894.35 and 1992.69 as an “inside day.” This denotes uncertainty in the market. However, there is no uncertainty. This is the best it can do to prevent an all-out collapse.
ZeroHedge comments, “One week ago, when looking at the latest BofA client flow trend monitor, we noticed something strange: despite the S&P's surge higher due to either a record short squeeze or because it is merely another bear market rally, the smart money was selling.

Stock Market SPX Bounce / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The impulsive decline in SPX appears to be in need of a correction this morning. Currently the Premarket is higher, but beneath the 38.2% retracement level at 1989.54. We may see a further probe higher after the open to either the 50% retracement level at 1993.28 or the 61.8% retracement level at 1997.02. The retracement may go back to touch the lower trendline of the Bearish Pennant near 2001.00 – 2002.00, but that would be the extreme.

Another Down Day for the Stock Market Indices / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a rough session. They gapped down hard at the opening, bounced to support, and retested in the morning, which enabled them to rally midday. The Nasdaq resistance at 4310 was too much to overcome as was 1995 S&P 500, and they sold off in the afternoon. They not only sold off, but made nominal new lows late in the day, before bouncing slightly, essentially closing at the lows for the day.
Net on the day, the Dow was down 109.85 at 16,964.10. The S&P 500 was down 22.50 to 1979.26. The Nasdaq 100 was down 37.82 to 4265.51.

Trump vs. the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Clif_Droke
The broad equities market has gotten a respite from the selling pressure which plagued it for the last few months. Some of this can be attributed to the Kress cycle “echoes” which we reviewed earlier this year. The echoes, which are based on the 6-year, 10-year, and 30-year cycles, suggested that stocks could experience a rally in the March-April time frame based on past rhythms. To date that expectation has materialized as traders cover short positions that were built up to excessive proportions in prior months.

Stock Market Myths, and What’s Wrong with the Economy / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Tony_Caldaro
Stock market myths
Over the decades we have all learned to accept that earnings drive stock prices. Rising earnings – rising stock markets and stocks. Falling earnings – falling stock markets and stocks. In fact, there have been numerous studies, using current, future and lagging earnings, to determine an appropriate market price earnings multiple. Then standard deviations from that multiple are used to suggest a risk-on or risk-off investment climate.

Is This Whole Stock Market Bounce Just One Big Trap? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Graham_Summers
I don’t trust this rally.
Few analysts realize that the sharpest, most aggressive rallies occur during bear markets. The reason for this is that during bear markets, investors tend to go short (borrow shares to bet on a collapse).
So when the market rallies even a little bit, it often will go absolutely vertical as these individuals panic and cover their shorts (which increases the buying).

The Rebound in Stocks Won't Last / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Michael_Pento
After taking a beating in January the S&P 500 has rebounded by about 5% in February, and this uptrend has continued into March. But before you think it's safe to jump back into long positions, it's important to realize why the market went down in the first place, and why February's rebound won't last.

Stock Market SPX Index Below Key Supports / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX Premarket declined beneath the 2-hour Cycle Top at 1994.33 and the weekly mid-Cycle support at 1993.04 this morning.
ZeroHedge Reports, “In the aftermath of last week's disappointing G-20 Shanghai summit, there was much riding on this weekend's start of the China's People's Congress, and specifically what if any stimulus announcement Beijing will make; sadly for stimulus addicts Chinadisappointed and after the unimaginative scope of growth proposals none of which it will come remotely close to hitting, it is hardly surprising that European stocks and US equity futures have taken a leg lower, even if Chinese stocks rose and certain commodities such as Iron Ore soared overnight on hopes China will either "rationalize" capacity or at least build some more roads to nowhere. Others, such copper were less lucky.”

SP500 Stock Market Index Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: David_Petch
Interesting charts to present today with the S&P 500 Index, which is probably a better market to follow to reflect global economy. As we are all aware, the US Dollar still remains the reserve currency of the US Dollar and with that privilege, it extends into the US stock market. As uncertainties build around the globe, money will look for a home...it may not be the prettiest home, but it is likely the securest.

Gold Has Topped, Higher Highs Expected in the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The SPX 8 TD top was due Thursday and we are in the mid band of the Sun translation to Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter on Friday (TD 9). This reversal band has a 10 TD reversal time frame from March 4th, which points to March 18 (OPEX) as the latest we could see a top in the stock market. My chart and indicators corroborates a March 18th top and an early April first low. The 16 TD low is due Monday, so a pullback Monday would not surprise me and we could go as low as 1959 to as high as the 1971/82 area. A 76 point rally from Monday into Wednesday looks likely. June looks likely to be a nesting of lows for the next move down and then late October after that.
