A Stock Market Dip in the Offing? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Right now, the coming dip could be a little scary, but shouldn’t amount to much, maybe around 4%. My guess is the first couple of days next week should see a sharp drop, but a buy the dip mentally and seasonal strength should prevail for now. The astros were ripe for a top around February 27-March 2. We have another even more complex period coming up March 31-April 15. March 31 could be a top and then another secondary bottom around April 11-12 would be ideal. A sharp drop next week would produce a need for a momentum failure retest by around early/mid April.

US Fed is Driving Stock Prices and Volatility / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Last week’s news that the US Fed will raise rates from 0.75% to 1.00% drove the US markets, generally, over 0.40% higher after Fed Chairman Janet Yellen announced the hike. As of right now, the NASDAQ has pushed to a new all-time high and the SPY is very close to an all-time high.
Yet, as we move into the end of March 2017 and begin the spring season, we have to be aware of the risks that are before us. OIL has recently seen a downward price break based on over supply, yet is up today on the Fed news. Gold and Silver are up nearly 2% today. The US Dollar is down nearly 0.75%.

By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 2373. After ticking up to SPX 2374 on Monday the market gapped down on Tuesday to SPX 2358. After that it rallied to SPX 2390, after the FED raised rates 25 bps to 1.0% on Wednesday. Then it pulled back to SPX 2378 to end the week. For the week the SPX/DOW gained 0.15%, and the NDX/NAZ gained 0.55%. Economic reports for the week were mostly positive. On the downtick: the NY/Philly FED, building permits, and the Q1 GDP estimate. On the uptick: the CPI/PPI, retail sales, business inventories, the NAHB, housing starts, capacity utilization, leading indicators, consumer sentiment, the WLEI, plus weekly jobless claims improved. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by durable goods orders and housing. Best to your week!

Janet Yellen Just Popped the Stock Market Bubble / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Graham_Summers
The Fed hiked rates for the third time in eleven years.
In so doing it has confirmed what many have long suspected: that the only thing that matters to the Fed is stock market levels.
The Fed certainly doesn’t care about GDP growth. If it did, it would be evident that now is NOT the time to be hiking rates.

Stock Market Resume Uptrend Or Correct Now? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Gary_Tanashian
Call Me Boring, But… Those who don’t like my writing style may already call me boring (or worse), but as far as stock holdings go I willingly take on that description. If you’re looking for words about yesterday’s FOMC meeting, you won’t find them here. There are plenty of people picking that thing apart and trying to make chicken salad (news) out of chicken shit (a non-event).
I am not going to go on about the precious metals’ big rip yesterday because that is for casino patrons to get excited about. I’ve expected the sector to bounce from oversold conditions. When it takes out real upside parameters (that NFTRH will surely manage) we’ll amp up the hysterics (not really).

US Interest Rates Up Quarter Percent, Stock Market Loved It / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
Fed Yellen raised interest rates a quarter percent today and the stock market loved it. The Nasdaq 100 popped early, and then pulled back, but the S&P 500 kept going up all morning. By midday, just before the FOMC, they pulled back just a little going into that meeting, and then exploded. They pulled back again and rallied sharply. Only at the end of the day did they pull back a little to pare back the profits.

Fanaticism, Stock Market Crash 2017 or Continuation of Bull Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Sol_Palha
Not too long ago this bull market was one of the most hated in history; that no longer appears to be the case. Throughout the unpopular phase of this bull market, we consistently and much to the dismay of many penguins, oops we mean experts, stated that every pullback should have been treated as a buying opportunity. There were two reasons for this; market sentiment was consistently negative, and the trend was up.

By: Clif_Droke

SPX Futures are Down this Morning / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
SPX futures are down this morning, but haven’t yet crossed either Short-term support at 2359.10 or the Head & Shoulders neckline at 2355.00. There is still a considerable distance to go. From a timing perspective, the time elapsed between that March 1 high at 2400.98 and the March 10 high at 2376.86 was approximately 45 hours. That is one-half the 12.9-day (90 hour) Cycle that we saw in last January’s decline. Should that observation be correct, it suggests the decline may extend to the close on Monday, March 20.

Stock Market Elliott Wave Target: SPX 2,700 / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Ed_Carlson
Looking at the bull market advance since 2009, we can see at least two options for counting. The options are that wave 3 ended in May'15 (blue) or wave 3 is ongoing (green).
The late 2015 decline certainly looks like a potential wave 4 except that the high earlier in May that year came with a negative divergence in RSI. Third waves usually have a strong RSI reading (like now).

Here's What the Stock Market Could do for the 3rd Time in 17 years / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Michael_Pento
The major averages continue to set record highs, which provides further evidence that Wall Street is becoming more complacent with the growing dichotomy between equity prices and the underlying strength of the U.S. economy. When investors view the Total market cap to GDP ratio, it becomes strikingly clear that economic growth has not at all kept pace with booming stock values in the past few years.
