Stock Market Catalyst for Chaos / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Michael_Pento
Up until very recently, stocks had been humming along without so much as a minor speedbump and volatility was becoming a distant memory. However, it now seems prudent to once again remind investors that this extremely overvalued market is headed for an epic crash. The Cassandras, myself included, have been wrong about this warning for what seems like a long time. Nevertheless, much like those who warned of a housing bubble a few years before the bottom completely fell out, reality is destined to slam into the current triumvirate of asset bubbles, and those sounding the alarm will be proven correct again.

US Stock Market Consolidation Time / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Rambus_Chartology
In the Wednesday Report the title read, What Type of Investor are You? My main focus was to show some intermediate to long term buy and sell signals based on the 21 month simple moving average and the MACD-Histogram. Tonight I would to take it one step further and look at the Chartology for some of the big stock market indexes which shows the intermediate to longer term perspective. There is one dominate chart pattern that has built out a consolidation pattern for the 2015 to 2016 correction.
Lets start by looking at a 4 year weekly chart for the $SPX which shows the dominate H&S consolidation pattern that was needed to consolidate the last rally phase. It could have been any number of different consolidation patterns, but this time it was the H&S consolidation pattern. Back in December of last year the SPX broke out above its neckline and has rallied strongly without much of a correction. Four weeks ago the SPX hit a high of 2401 and has been going nowhere which is suggesting the first real correction may be at hand since the rally out of the November elections low.

Short Term Stock Market Bottom Close / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last week, I was looking for weakness not to exceed 4%. The drop was closer to 1.7%. A positive divergence is occurring on the 1 and 2 hour charts, which should lead to a bounce soon. There is fib support around 2329/30. Already, Sunday night, SPX futures are down 14 points. An attempt to rally into month's end looks likely, perhaps to near 2365 SPX and the dropping 20 day moving average.

By: Tony_Caldaro
The market started the week at SPX 2378. After a pullback to SPX 2370 on Monday, the market gapped up to 2382 on Tuesday. But that was immediately sold off and the market hit SPX 2336 by Wednesday. Thursday the market rebounded to SPX 2359, then on Friday the market retested 2336 and ended the week at 2344. For the week the SPX/DOW lost 1.45%, and the NDX/NAZ lost 1.00%. Economic reports were mixed on the week. On the downtick: existing homes sales, the WLEI, plus weekly jobless claims rose. On the uptick: new home sales, durable goods orders, and the Q1 GDP estimate. Next week’s highlights: Q4 GDP, the Chicago PMI, the PCE and a speech from FED Chair Yellen. Best to your weekend and week!

Stocks Bull Market Time to Get on Board / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Gary_Savage
As I noted in my last COTD, there are signs popping up that stocks are about to, or have completed a very mild intermediate cycle low. The vast majority of traders decide to buy (or join the SMT) after most of the move has already happened. Last summer my biggest influx of new subs occurred right at the summer high in metals. No one wanted to join the SMT in January when I was calling the bottom. They waited till the move had rallied 180% before joining. Go figure.

Stock Market Bubble and Gold / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
In January, the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke above the symbolic 20,000 for the first time ever. This development raised again concerns about the condition of the U.S. stock market - further gains could be a headwind for the gold market, but the end of the bull market would support the yellow metal. The valuations were at record highs even before the presidential elections, but Trump's rally elevated them further, as the chart below shows.

The Best Stock Market Investment Strategy Today: Be Optimistic and Short / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : For the last eight years of my life, we’ve been dealing with higher taxes and lots more regulation.
Like I’ve written about before, we’ve been dealing with these things for so long that we’ve forgotten what it was like not having to deal with them.
And if we had elected Hillary Clinton, we would have gotten even more of the same. A few months into the Trump regime, and we have started to figure out that things are going to be very different.

Stock Market Mixed to Nominally Lower Day with Good Technicals / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a mixed to nominally lower day with pretty good technicals for a positive down day, which is bullish, but the overall look of the trend wasn’t good. The snapback began yesterday, extended this morning, and came down in a 3-wave corrective pullback. It remains to be seen whether the lows hold, and whether or not this extends to the downside, or if this is just a consolidation before we resume back up. Right now, I favor the downside, so we’ll see if that occurs.

By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices volatile session today. They opened to the upside, pulled back, tested the lows successfully on the Nasdaq 100, while the S&P 500 made lower lows, and then they had a nice morning, sharp rally, got up to resistance, backed off and formed wedges. Late in the day they broke those wedges, but weren’t able to follow-through much, and backed off into the close, finishing mixed on the day.

G20 Dilemma: Falling Trade, Soaring Stock Market, Looming Contraction / Stock-Markets / Global Stock Markets
By: Dan_Steinbock
There is a deep chasm between America’s historical rebuff of G20 efforts, which seek to re-ignite trade, and markets, which remain at record heights. This rift is untenable.Historically, Baden-Baden’s spas are famous for their healing waters, which have healed ancient Romans’ arthritic aches, Prussian queens’ rheumatism and European aristocrats’ paralyses. Nevertheless, the G20 Summit is fresh evidence that even Baden-Baden cannot do miracles.
