Intraday outlook (next 24 hours): bearish

SPX Makes its Final Probe? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has spent 54 market days (83 calendar days) from its November 3 low. It appears that Wave [c] is impulsive and Wave [c] equals Wave [a] at 2305.50, so we have near equality in the final probe to the top.
This is a typical zigzag formation that I hope we have seen the last of. There is no short entry above the Cycle Top and trendline at 2291.27.

Theresa May Announces That the UK Will Leave the Single Market – The Markets' Reactions / Stock-Markets / BrExit
By: Submissions
UK Prime Minister Theresa May announced, in a divisive speech, that the terms of the 'Brexit' voted for in the UK referendum last summer were to include leaving the single market. This would mean that the UK will negotiate new trade deals with the single market, as other non-EU countries do, and that the freedoms that exist within the single market (such as free movement of goods and people), as well as its regulations, will no longer apply to Britain.

How to Profit from Trumponomics / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: The_Gold_Report
While Donald Trump's election has altered a number of aspects of the economy, investors cannot ignore economic trends that were in place before the election, says Joe McAlinden, founder of McAlinden Research Partners and former chief global strategist with Morgan Stanley Investment Management. In this interview with The Gold Report, he discusses those trends and how they may be changed by Trump's election, why he is bullish on gold and which sectors he expects to thrive in the Trump era.
The Gold Report: 2017 will be a year of change. In the early days of the Trump administration, what should investors be focusing on?

Stock Market Three Peaks and a Domed House Pattern Revisited / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Ed_Carlson
The 3PDh pattern of 2014-2016 appears to have failed. After a textbook, five-wave pullback (first floor roof/points 15-20) in April-June 2016, the Dow shot up in a vertical fashion fulfilling Lindsay's description of the 2nd floor wall (points 20-21). That was followed by a small cupola or head-and-shoulders top with the supposed bull market top arriving on 8/15/16. The following sell-off should have reached the bottom of the Separating Decline (February lows) at a minimum. As we all know, rather than experiencing a bear market, the Dow found a low on Election Day and the rally to new bull market highs has been named the "Trump Bump". But appearances can be deceiving...

US Dollar may be our guide for the markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
In keeping our eyes on the USD, we can ascertain the moves of the rest of the market. USD futures declined to 99.88 in overnight trading, but
retraced to 100.40 at 6:00 am., a 28% retracement of its last decline. Since that decline was clearly impulsive while the others were not, I am labeling the first two thrusts down with an A, while the bounce was a B Wave. We may have just seen Wave [i] of C, while Wave [ii] appears to be in progress. It has retraced 28% of the decline thus far and is easing back down.

Stock Market Still Vulnerable for a Pull Back / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
We are in TD 52 of the ten week cycle low due 50 TD’s 7.5 TD’s. The smaller 8/16 TD low is due ideally on January 25th, but could extend into January 27/31. The 27th has Venus squaring Saturn, which usually means a reversal bottom 2 TD’s. The new moon is due on the 28th.
The intermediate term still looks positive to me and should continue into the summer. There should be a period of weakness in Feb-Mar 2017, but overall, I doubt it will amount to much.

Stock Market New Highs For 2017? Yes, But When Do I Enter? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Chris_Vermeulen
When the SPX breaks out above its’ current resistance level, it will be the next leg up in this bull market. We are currently in a consolidation period. The SPX seems to be resting for now! The “Bollinger Bands Squeeze” is now taking hold and will result in a powerful move in either direction once broken. I do have a new BULLISH trigger for members to enter into during this amazing “melt up” that will only be shared with my ‘elite members’. I can assure you that you will want to be invested in this next BULLISH leg of the SPX!

Stock Market Down Day with Poor Technicals / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a tough session after opening with a gap up, and a strong surge on the Nasdaq 100, but the S&P 500 was barely able to move. They plunged sharply in the morning, bounced back midday, only to roll over again, making lower lows. At the end of the day, they did have a 5-wave comeback that pared back the losses, but still it was a down day.
Net on the day, the Dow was down 72.32 at 19,732.40. The S&P 500 was down 8.20 at 2263.69. The Nasdaq 100 was down 4.68 at 5051.17.

Bonds, Dollar, Stocks, Gold, Silver Major Markets at Turning Points / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: DeviantInvestor
Bonds have risen in a 35 year bull market. That bull market looks tired and probably peaked in July of 2016.
The U.S. Dollar Index recently hit 14 year highs. Has the dollar finally peaked? Has it turned downward since January 3, 2017?
Stocks have been rising since the 2009 crash lows. Rounded to the nearest point, the Dow hit 20,000. Was that enough to make a final top before a major turn downward?

Stock Market Dow 20,000: A New Beginning...or The Beginning of The End? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Clif_Droke
After touching the benchmark 20,000 level last month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has spent the last five weeks in a tight, narrow trading range just under this level. Famed trader Jesse Livermore theorized in his pseudonymous book, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, that stocks are attracted to major round number levels. In the case of the Dow, the 20,000 level has generated more press and speculation among investors than any number since the formerly mythical 10,000 level was crossed in 1999. Clearly Dow 20,000 carries a tremendous psychological significance, even if it's a simple case of self-fulfilling prophecy.

Stock Market Interesting, Mixed Session / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an interesting, mixed session. A late rally on both the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 put them in the plus column, but the Dow did not get into the plus column, although it did come off the lows.
The day started out with a sharp pop to the upside, reaching 5058 Nasdaq 100, filling the gap from yesterday morning. The S&P 500 jumped as high as 2270 1/2, but couldn’t really get over yesterday’s high. The Nasdaq 100 was stronger today. They then pulled back midday, consolidated in wedges, and in the last hour, broke out and ran back up again.

Trump Inauguration Day Will Be a Big Turning Point in the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : Was anybody here trading in 2003?
It was the year we invaded Iraq (regrettably). The markets were expecting a decisive victory. During the days and weeks when American troops advanced on Baghdad, the market climbed. As they entered Baghdad and marched on the center of the city, the market traded higher and higher.
Finally, American troops fastened a rope around the neck of Saddam Hussein’s statue and attached the other end to a tank. The world watched on television as the tank backed down and toppled the statue.

Stock Market Trading Patience Pays Off with CHK Using Momentum Reversals / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
One of the key tenants of my Momentum Reversal trading is “waiting for the right trigger/event and getting in early”. I find this is one of the most difficult aspects for most clients to understand and master. Therefore, in an attempt to further illustrate some components of my thinking and strategy, I have put together these examples to try to help people understand these techniques.

US Stock Market Update as the Trump Inauguration Approaches / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: The_Gold_Report
Technical analyst Clive Maund forecasts a stock market "swoon" in light of the impending inauguration of Donald Trump.
The election of Donald Trump sparked a rally in the broad stock market, which has continued up to the present. According to the laws of reverse (inverse) logic that rule the markets, his inauguration as President is likely to trigger a swoon, and as we will shortly see, there are other compelling technical reasons for the market to drop back soon. It is worth noting that selling might start kicking in before the inauguration.

Stock Market Inauguration Day Selling? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last time I wrote, I discussed the possibility of a Friday the 13th sell-off. Did I really believe it would happen? Actually, the odds were better for a January 20th sell-off based on the planets and dragonfly candle stick pattern we saw on 1/12 than the 13th.
What I was pointing out was the 10 week cycle low pattern ( 6 or 7 TD's from 50 TD's) and daily Bollinger Band squeeze alone. Now we have Mars Sq. Saturn 1/19 and the Sun/Jupiter lines crossing on 1/18. On 1/23 we have Mercury sextiling Neptune. That day should be very positive!
