Here Comes Another $2T Support for Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: P_Radomski_CFA
In anticipation of the previous $2T stimulus package that passed on Mar 27 and in its aftermath, stocks rallied, yet it wasn’t a one-way road. They had trouble overcoming the pre-stimulus highs, and actually sold off in the following week.
Today’s Fed announcement contained a $2.3T loan package to support the economy. While stocks didn’t sell off in its immediate aftermath, they haven’t rallied profoundly in the runup to further stimulus either.
High-yield corporate debt (HYG) predictably rallied in response to the real economy support with loans, but the bulls are having issues adding to their opening gains. That’s a shooting star, a bearish candle.

The Big Short Guides us to What is Next for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: readtheticker
There is nothing new in WallStreet, it is only the players that change. Sometimes a market player or an event gets ahead of the crowd and WallStreet has to play catch up.

It is important to understand major WallStreet players do not want to miss out on a money making moves.

The Stock Market Is Not a Magic Money Machine / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Jared_Dillian
I am writing from my home library since I’m no longer working in my office in downtown Myrtle Beach.
I’ve always resisted working from home because I don’t want to stress out in my own house. But it hasn’t been bad. I have a hot tub, a pool, cigars, and the cats.
Things are much worse for most other people. The virus and the protective measures have done untold economic damage. Some people are openly talking of a depression.

Stocks Hanging By the Fingernails? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: P_Radomski_CFA
After Wednesday’s slide, the S&P 500 moved higher yesterday. While the move itself hadn’t surprised us as we’ve earlier called for a pause in the downswing, the question is whether we can expect some more upside shortly.
Long story short, that’s unlikely. Let’s open today’s analysis with the daily chart examination (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

Stock Market Enters a 25-35year Crisis Cycle Re-evaluation Event / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
We can only imagine what many of you are thinking and feeling right now. Shock? Concern? Despair? Some of you have already emailed us asking about the US and Global markets to find out what our predictive modeling systems are suggesting. Today, we’re going to show you what the longer-term Adaptive Fibonacci Price Modeling system is suggesting for the S&P and NASDAQ.
First, we want to ask you to slow down, take a few seconds to realize we will recover from this virus event and the smart thing to do is protect your family, protect your assets, and prepare for the future. Market crashes happen only 2-3 times in a lifetime and they, not the end of the world or financial system.

US Stock Market Next Heavy Down Leg Believed Imminent / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Clive_Maund
Technical analyst Clive Maund discusses what he sees ahead for the markets.
We are going to look at an array of important factors pointing to another severe drop in the broad U.S. stock market imminently, both factors external to it and indications on the charts for the S&P 500 index (and other indices which we won't have time to look at).
First it is well worth watching another classic video from Greg Mannarino posted on March 30: WOW...ZERO Economic Activity in which he puts into words what many of us are thinking, and it's worth watching this at least a couple of times. Rather amusingly, "The Dark Side" tried to buy Greg off to shut him up, but he wasn't having it. This is how they operate – they buy you off, marginalize you, or take you out, whether you are an individual, a company or a country.

The Opening Salvo in the Renewed Stock Downswing / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: P_Radomski_CFA
As expected, the S&P 500 had a down session yesterday. Opening with a sizable gap, the bears continued their push to move prices lower. Since the futures have been pointing higher before the unemployment claims came in, does it mark a tradable turnaround?
In short, that’s unlikely. Let’s start though with the daily chart examination (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

Stocks: When Grass Looks Greener on the Other Side of the ... Pond / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: EWI
Let's start by establishing that the stock market is not driven by the news. Aggregate stock prices are driven by waves of optimism and pessimism -- which go from one extreme to another -- as reflected by the Elliott wave model. That's what makes the stock market predictable.
Hence, Elliott wave analysis is at the core of EWI's stock market forecasts.< /p>

Mickey Fulp: 'Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste' / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2020
By: The_Gold_Report
In discussion with Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable, the Mercenary Geologist offers his take on the coronavirus pandemic, its impacts on economic policy and what he's buying (or not buying) right now.
Maurice: Today we will find out if we are at risk of losing our liberty to the coronavirus, along with buying opportunities for your investment portfolio. Joining us for a conversation is Mickey Fulp, the world-renowned Mercenary Geologist.
Absolute delight to speak with you sir. Mickey, you are the Mercenary Geologist, but you're equally regarded highly for your views on philosophy and politics, and every time we speak my neurons expand. You and I have shared concerns regarding the erosion of liberty as the federal government and municipalities have been perniciously increasing their influence over the years, and in particular in the response to the coronavirus. Sir, what concerns should we have regarding our liberties that many people are not considering due to the government's response to the coronavirus?

Stock Market Selloff Structure Explained – Fibonacci On Deck / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Many traders become very emotional when the markets turn Bearish and fail to properly understand that price structure is still driving market price movement. This morning, I highlighted this structure to my subscribers attempting to alert them to the possibility that the markets could recover moderately over the next 3 to 5+ days attempting to set up the next “waterfall” downside price event.
On January 29, 2020, I posted a research article detailing my belief that a “waterfall” type of event was setting up in the markets. This article was nearly 30 days prior to the peak in the markets. It explained how events take place and how markets tend to develop a moderate recovery phase between selloff price declines.

The Past Stock Market Week Was More Important Than You May Understand / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Avi_Gilburt
On Thursday, we saw the worst jobless claims number in history (and by far). Yet, the S&P500 futures rallied over 200 points from their overnight lows. So, are we to believe that the “cause” of that rally was the jobless claims?
I can assure you that if the market dropped 200 points there would be no question in your mind that the drop was certainly caused by the jobless claim’s announcement. In fact, there is not a single one of you reading this that would have even doubted that as a “fact.” If we are going to be honest here, it is likely that all of you probably had the expectation that the market going to be down big when those numbers were announced.

Three Charts Every Stock Market Trader and Investor Must See / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Understanding the stock market and its potential through the use of technical analysis and historical price events has been proven repeatedly to outperform all forms of fundamental trading styles. The following is a story that walks you through my experience, the shift in my mindset and how I came to the conclusion that the three charts I share in this article are critical to your understanding of to make money in today’s market!
When I first learned to trade, I got all caught up with researching companies and finding the ones with the best earnings and future growth. I did that for several years after studying and following many “professional traders” who said it was the best way to trade and invest long term. We lost our shirts during the 2000 bear market by continuing to trade on fundamentals as stocks fell in value week after week. Even the companies that showed quarterly earnings growth fell in value – none of it seemed to make any sense to me, and it was very frustrating.
Losing money when buying the best companies made no logical sense, making me step back from the markets and ask myself, ‘what am I doing wrong here‘. People today are asking themselves the same question given today’s dizzying markets:

United States Coronavirus Infections and Deaths Trend Forecasts Into End April 2020 / Stock-Markets / Pandemic
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This is the final part of my analysis that concludes in detailed trend forecasts for UK and US Coronavirus Infections and deaths into the end of April 2020. The importance of which being to act as indicators for the primary driver for stock market trend since Mid February. Where as was the case with my preceding forecasts into the end of March, deviations against the Coronavirus trend warned of worse prospects for stock prices as the UK and US FAILED to follow the South Korean model of containing the pandemic, instead either proved completely incompetent in doing nothing despite having had well over a months advance warning of what to expect. Or perhaps by design so as to allow the virus to infect the general population as it was deemed to be impossible to prevent in the long-run given the movement of people, goods and services and so a quick sharp deadly shock was deemed to be the most cost effective solution.

Fed President Declare: “No End in Our Ability to Print Money…and Congress Has Told Us To.” / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2020
By: MoneyMetals
The roller coaster ride in markets took a sharp turn higher this week after the Federal Reserve and Congress together pledged over 6 trillion dollars to rescue the financial system.
Perhaps this week was an inflection point for the mass fear and panic that has cleared out bullion dealers of coins and grocery stores out of toilet paper. Although the number of coronavirus cases hasn’t yet peaked, there are some signs that the hysteria surrounding the deadly outbreak has.

One of the Biggest Stock Market Short Covering Rallies in History May Be Imminent / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Clive_Maund
Technical analyst Clive Maund considers the opportunities posed by recent market and fiscal news.
In recent days the Fed has made it plain that it is prepared to buy anything and everything to prevent imminent total collapse, and you don't have to join many dots to see that this will extend to buying stocks. It's not that hard for them—all they have to do is enter a few keystrokes, add a few 0s and it's sorted—and as Gregory Mannarino repeatedly points out, the more debt they issue the more powerful they become.
Right now sentiment is "end of the world" negative, and any positive development will be enough to trigger a gargantuan, self-feeding, short-covering rally. Gold's huge recovery is a sign that this may be about to start.

DJIA Coronavirus Stock Market Technical Trend Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Short-term Trend Analysis
The bubble that was the Dow's early year bull run has well and truly burst with the Dow literally crashing to a low of 24,700, and if it wasn't for the Coronavirus than the Dow would still have fallen to trade down to a low of about 27,500. Instead we have gone beyond that which technical analysis can determine, hence my continuing heavy focus on the Coronavirus trend which on the 27th of February concluded in expectations for the Dow to fairly quickly trade down to about 25,500 that it soon sliced through during it's multi day crash.
