SPX Stock Market Uptrend Resumes / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Tony_Caldaro
The week started off at SPX 2175, then spent the entire week trading within the two week, 20 point/1% trading range, until it nudged above it by one point on Friday. In the end the SPX made an all time high at 2177. For the week the SPX/DOW lost 0.45%, and the NDX/NAZ gained 1.30%. Economic reports for the week were negatively biased. On the downtick: Case-Shiller, consumer confidence/sentiment, durable goods, the Chicago PMI, plus weekly jobless claims rose. On the uptick: Q2 GDP, new/pending homes sales. Next week will be highlighted by monthly payrolls and ISM.

Durable Goods....GDP, Q2 And Q1 Disasters.... Stock Market Smiles... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
The only thing it seems that can hit this market hard to the down side in a sustainable fashion would be if the market smelled a rate-hike cycle about to begin. Bad news on its own doesn't have any effect on how the market trades. The uptrend remains in place. We know this by two report s that came out this week. The first was the Durable Goods Report, which showed a number well below expectations. Folks just aren't spending on those household goods. That bad news was follow-up by really bad news on the GDP on two fronts. The Q1 number was revised way down to 0.8% growth. To add insult to injury, the market had to deal with a 1.2% number this quarter, but the number was supposed to be all the way up at 2.6% growth. That's more than just your average miss. That's a disaster!

Some Thoughts at the Stock Market Mountain Top / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
There are several indicators Suggesting this is the terminal move and that it may, in fact, be complete. I thought I’d review those items and put in a few more. Of course, the Triangle is a dead giveaway, but how do we know the pattern is finished?
If we accept the concept that Wave (5) is an Ending Diagonal, we can see the a-b-c structures in the motive waves. I’ll point out that Wave 3, at 19.34 points, is smaller than Wave 1 at 22.38 points. One rule to remember is that Wave 3 can never be the smallest Wave. Wave 5 at 18.02 points, fills the prescription.

Asset Bubbles Tend to Crash with a Vengeance / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Despite short-term memory loss affecting most investors, asset bubbles tend to crash with a vengeance. From over-valuation, risk ignorance, and reactionary sentiment, the current bubble-trifecta shows signs of turning over.
The monetary powers that be have succeeded in creating serial asset bubbles. Each is extending from the great expansion of credit pivoting on the last official dollar default in 1971.
And yet once, again we are bombarded with the mantra: “This time it’s different”.

False Information, Mass Psychology & this Hated Stocks Market Bull / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might. Marian Anderson
Regarding today’s news, the average person is inundated with unnecessary junk. On any given day you will find experts telling you why the markets are destined to soar and or crash. News outlets are desperate for eyeballs, so they are going out of their way to make titles bombastic, and or offering multiple scenarios so that when one of them comes to pass, they can proudly state we told you so.

Good Day for the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very interesting day with it opening lower, then jumping higher, pulling back by midday, holding support on both indices, rallying sharply in the afternoon, and then pulling back in the last few minutes. They managed to eke out a positive day on the Nasdaq 100, which was led by Amazon.

Is the Stock Market Tape Being Painted for Hillary? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Clif_Droke
In the old-school lexicon of Wall Street, the term "painting the tape" referred to the large scale purchase of market-moving stocks by insiders for the purpose of giving the market an appearance of strength. Painting the tape was practiced by "pools" and large firms who were in the know; it was designed primarily to present a picture of strength when there was an undercurrent of weakness. Painting the tape was also done in some cases to trick amateur traders into buying certain individual stocks by means of manipulating the stock's trading volume.

SPX is Shaking and Rolling / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
I don’t believe that I have seen anything quite like this before. I am certain that Citadel and the central banks are doing their utmost to keep equity values at their elevated levels. It appears to be the only thing left to do to validate their existence.
Nonetheless, there appear to be cracks in the structure leading to a possible breakdown. All of this reminds me of the Tacoma Narrows bridge, otherwise known as “Galloping Gertie.”

Stock Market Insiders Are Secretly Selling, Cycle Top Next Month / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Chris_Vermeulen
It was “Panic Buying” that pushed the Dow Jones and the SPX Indices to record highs. To be sure there is trouble brewing in this rally. Smart money has left the stock market, as the charts at the end of this article will display!
While Wall Street insiders appear to know that something is seriously amiss with the economy, no one is warning the retail investor.

SPX Premarket is Flat / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX Futures are still on a rollercoaster as the earlier rise in the Premarket is given up to a flat scenario.
ZeroHedge reports, “Following yesterday's Fed decision and ahead of tonight's far more important BOJ announcement, European stocks have posted modest declines, Asian shares rise toward 9-month highs, while U.S. equity index futures are fractionally in the green in the aftermath of Facebook's blowout earnings. The dollar has extended on losses after Yellen reiterated a gradual approach to raising interest rates, with the BBDXY down 0.5% in early trading after slipping 0.4% over the previous two sessions.”

Zero Percent Mortgages Debut Setting up the Next Stage for this Stock Market Bull / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market
By: Sol_Palha
Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes it obstructs your vision.
Hsi-Tang
Economists stated that main trigger for the financial crisis of 2008 was the issuance of mortgages that did not require down payments. The ease at which one could get mortgages in the past is what drove housing prices to unsustainable levels. Post-crisis all banks vowed to end the practice forever, or that is what they wanted everyone to believe. When the credit markets froze, we openly stated that the 1st sign that banks were getting ready to lower the bar again would come in the form of Zero percent balance transfer offers that had all but vanished after 2008. A few years after 2008, banks started to mail these offers out, and now everywhere you look you can find 0 % balance transfer offers ranging from 12 months to 18 months. The next step after that would be for banks to lower the 20% down payment required to something much lower. Currently, Bank of America and a few other banks are offering 3% down mortgages.

SPX, TNX May Finish their Rallies. BKX May lead the Decline / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
At last there may be some resolution to this rally. The Triangle formation is an introduction to the terminal thrust for this rally. A Triangle formation also suggests this may be the last of the rallies. I drew the upper channel trendline in the same manner as the 2-hour chart. It shows a probable terminus of the last thrust closer to 2185.00. Given the rise in volatility that the Fed meeting may engender, it may be a more likely top than the minimum 2180.00 that I mentioned yesterday.

Stock Market Should be Going Down And Yet... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Ed_Carlson
Everything seems to say this market should be going down... and yet... price is always the final arbiter. July through October is a seasonally bullish period of the year for the VIX. The VIX closed last Friday at 12.02. The last time the VIX was below 13.00 was last August just before the S&P 500 declined over 11.00%... and yet...
Sentiment is at an extreme. The CNN Fear & Greed index is at 83 which is a level described as "extreme greed". The NAAIM Exposure index is at 96 which is as bullish as it has ever gotten... and yet...

Deutche Bank Stock Price Crash - The EU Has Problems Far Beyond the Brexit / Stock-Markets / European Stock Markets
By: Harry_Dent
The Dow dropped nearly 1,000 points (5%) and the London FTSE dropped 10% after the Brexit vote surprised the markets on June 23. After two days though, markets were marching back up again.That’s just like markets on “crack!” They react to political events, but totally miss the fundamentals.
Yes, Brexit is important. Years from now it will be recognized as the beginning of the end for the great Eurozone experiment.
