CBOE Stock Market Volatility Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Ed_Carlson
The VIX gave up 0.98 points last week to close at 14.72 after peaking on the expected short-term cycle high on Wednesday. Since March, the VIX has been turned back by resistance at 16.40 several times highlighting the importance of this level. A breakout from 16.40 will be very bearish for equities. Last Friday was an expected 34-day cycle low. The weekly Coppock is very oversold warning of a tradable rally in the VIX (bearish equities).

How Strong is The U.S. Economy Really? / Economics / US Economy
By: Clif_Droke
In the six years since the recovery began, there has been endless debate over the strength of the U.S. economy. There are basically two sides of the debate. Those taking the positive side maintain the economy has almost returned to its pre-crisis levels and is on a firm footing. The opposing camp maintains that while the upper classes are in fine shape, the middle class is still hurting from the residual damage inflicted by the housing bubble implosion and credit crash. Is one side entirely mistaken or is there truth to both assertions?

Inflationist Gold Bugs Have Driven the Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
[edit] The post began as a simple view of the inflationary dynamics in play within the precious metals market but as sometimes happens it, err… expanded. Please excuse the wordiness. But I would rather be wordy and try to make points backed in facts and data than backed only by my biased ego.
Not that I have proof (re: the title), but I do have some charts to help make the point that people who bought gold and gold stocks due to inflation fears have been driving the gold sector higher since March.

SPX May Have Fulfilled its Retracement Requirements / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has challenged its hourly mid-Cycle resistance at 2078.02 and pulled back. It has now completed 94 hours at 1100 hours from the April 20 high at 2111.04. An interesting Cycle measure comes up here. It is 3.1416 X 30 hours = 94.25 hours. This suggests the rally may be over at or near 1115 hours. The European market closes at 1130, so there may be some linkage between markets.

Bitcoin Price Space for Move up Limited / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
In short: short speculative positions, target at $153, stop-loss at $515.
A Swiss town is now embracing Bitcoin in an experimental move, we read on the Engadged website:
Most experiments in paying with digital currencies have come from private companies, but the Swiss town of Zug is trying something different. As of July 1st, the community is launching a trial that will let you pay for public services using Bitcoin -- as long as you're shelling out the equivalent of 200 francs ($206 US) or less, you can skip old-fashioned money. The trial will run through the rest of 2016, though whether or not it lives beyond that depends on the town council's findings.

On Sunday, long-suffering Greeks suffered another body blow. Parliamentarians voted 153 to 143 for greater austerity than already, exclusively benefitting Western bankers and large investors, social justice entirely ignored.

Is a Cash Ban and Carry Tax Coming to the US? / Personal_Finance / War on Cash
By: Graham_Summers
Europe has banned the use of €500 bills.
The reason?
They claim these bills are used in money laundering and for drugs. And if you believe that is the concern, you probably believe the earth is flat.
The fact of the matter is that Europe is now the center for misguided Central Planning for monetary policy. ECB President Mario Draghi has cut interest rates not once, not twice, not even thrice, but FOUR times into NIRP.

Yen Strength Sends AUDJPY Towards Multi-Year Lows / Currencies / Austrailia
By: AnyOption
Sustained inaction from the Bank of Japan combined with another round of loosening by the Reserve Bank of Australia has seen the AUDJPY continue to tumble, trending back towards multi-year lows reached back in February during the risk-asset rout. With Central Banks eagerly waiting on the Federal Reserve to act in order to alleviate pressure on local currencies, risk assets are likely to continue tumbling despite the extreme policies implemented by certain institutions. However, with the BoJ not forecast to move on policy short-term and the RBA maintaining its accommodative stance, the stage is set for further losses in the AUDJPY pair as risks to the outlook mount. Barring another round of direction intervention in the Yen from the BoJ, the current trend in the pair is likely to prevail over the medium-term amid worsening external conditions.

By: BATR
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only”, is just as true today about the true conservative movement as it was back in Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities, era.

Stock Market Dance.....Stochastic's Favorable... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
The market has pulled back from very overbought conditions and has done so in a way that has allowed all the daily RSI's on the key index charts to unwind to oversold. While not always the case, when that does happen in an existing bull market the trend usually heads back to the up side. Not always as you can stay oversold, such as what happened in January, but that is rare.
