Stock Market Unwinding...Market Environment... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
The market finally fell a little bit today. Are the bulls ok? I want to be sure you're handling it well. I wouldn't want any of you to feel someone is messing with you. I know it seems inappropriate for a down day, but it does happen every once in a while. Sometimes it's actually even a good thing. It helps to work off overbought conditions. I know it doesn't feel good, but that's the way it is. A day off from upside happens. Today was that minor down day and it did its job for the short term. A lot of solid unwinding for the short-term sixty-minute charts. The stochastic's, MACD, and RSI all having a nice move lower to allow the charts to reset themselves. The only problem the bulls will be facing will be yet another negative divergence will form on the next attempt higher since the MACD and other oscillators did impulse lower yet again on the selling.

The Next Financial Crisis Will Be THE Crisis / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2016
By: Graham_Summers
For six years, the world has operated under a complete delusion that Central Banks somehow fixed the 2008 Crisis
All of the arguments claiming this defied common sense. A 5th grader would tell you that you cannot solve a debt problem by issuing more debt. If the below chart was a problem BEFORE 2008… there is no way that things are better now. After all, we’ve just added another $20 trillion in debt to the US system.

The ONLY Buyer of Stocks Just Stopped Buying… Buckle Up / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Graham_Summers
The rally of the last month has many scratching their heads.
That is, until you realize:
- Most of it was driven by “short-covering.”
- The primary buyers of stocks today are corporations buying back their stock to juice EPS, not actual investors.
- Actual investors have been selling the farm.

Bullard Gives Stocks Bears a Boost / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
This is a close approximation of the trendlines that SPX is dealing with. Fortunately, SPX has made a declining impulse (5 waves) to the 4.3-year trendline. It is now in a bounce that may take it back to yesterday’s close or the shorter-term trendline, depending on how long it takes.
Confidence in the reversal rises once the retracement is complete, preferably beneath the short-term trendline.

Stock Market Trendlines May be Crossed Today / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
The SPX Premarket attempted to stay above the trendline in overnight action. However, it has lost upward momentum without making a new high and is threatening to cross beneath the short-term rally trendline.
The larger 4.3-year trendline is still the most important, so a decline below 2040.00 may indicate that the longer trendline is also being taken out.

Stock Market Drilling down to see what's going on / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Sometimes it helps to “drill down” to a smaller scale to see if we may make some sense out of where this rally may be leading us. The first thing to check is the Wave relationships. Wave A = Wave C at 2027.60. At this point, Wave C is 121% the size of A.
We drill down a little further and find that Wave [iii] is 107% the size of Wave [i]. Wave [iii] times 1.07 equals a target of 2052.18 for Wave [v]. That is why it is easy to mistake Wave b of (iv), which happened near yesterday’s close, as the probable top. It wasn’t, but now we appear to be getting closer in our calculation of the size of this rally. Let’s go a step further.

Stock Market 4.3-year Trendline is at SP 2040 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
This morning’s trendline shown on the Premarket report missed an important detail that I though should be filled it. The 4.3-year trendline is at 2040.00 as well.
It is possible that the panic decline starts beneath that level, so it follows that aggressive short positions may be taken there.

The Financial Crisis Has Just Begun; Is The American Dream Is Over? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2016
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Global Central Banks have run out of ‘ammunition’. Since March 2008, Central Banks have cut interest rates 637 times and have purchased a staggering $12.3 trillion dollars’ worth of assets. There is not much more that they can do, and currently, the next ‘great crisis’ is upon us.
The global economy and the global financial system will continue to weaken before our very own eyes.

Stock Market Refusing To Sell At Overbought... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
The market was overbought on many of the index charts going in to the weekend. One would expect the market to pull back from overbought, especially when the overbought conditions were on both the short-term, sixty-minute charts and the daily charts. When that happens it's usually a short-term top and down we go. Not today. The market is refusing to fall with any force. The bulls are back and back in full force, and dare I say, full froth. Markets are all about emotion as we all know by now. It's not about truth or reality. It's about the flavor of the day, regardless of what may be happening in the real world. The flavor of every day seems to be BUY!!! No matter what, BUY!!!!!

Stock Market Cycles are Delayed. A Panic May Play Catch-up / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
All eyes are on China as PBOC attempts to manage its debt load while keeping the markets aloft. The Shanghai Index closed above 3000 for the first time since January. This is an inversion of a Master Cycle which was due for a low this week. Instead, it will be a high. However, these inversions don’t end well, as the low may arrive within the next two weeks .

Stock Market Top Near, GDX Makes New Highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last week, I was looking for a top in the stock market within a week or two. We are still very close to that top and nothing has changed. The SPX needs to break decisively below the rising trend line. Normally, markets coming off a top are slow to descend, giving the short seller plenty of time to react. A strong move down into June looks forthcoming.

Stocks Bear Market Continues to Gravitate Towards New All Time Highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The supposed great bear market of 2016 keeps on trending in the WRONG direction as the bears latest hopes for an imminent bear market apocalypse, the March Fed meeting on which they hoped to be raptured into perma-bear heaven following a second rate hike in this series, instead resolved in the exact opposite outcome, with not only the Fed keeping interest rates on hold but issuing a dovish statement on the future prospects for US interest rates which apparently caught many by surprise. What's the surprise? When over a month ago we saw BoJ panic!, and only a week ago we saw the ECB panic of negative interest rates! I could go on at length with why the Fed, BoJ, ECB and BoE are clueless and what they actually should be forced to do for it will take force because they only tend to print trillions to save and support their bankster brethren and of course inflating asset prices at the expense of the purchasing power of earnings of the wage slaves, but I will save this for another article.

Stock Market Manipulation: You Better Believe / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Gary_Savage
Let me start off and say the longer one continues to operate under the assumption that we still have free markets the less likely you are to make money, and the more likely it is you will lose money.
Folks we have virtually every central bank in the world printing money (and I think this includes the US). We have negative interest rates in many parts of the world and 0 every place else. I can say without a bit of hesitation that market intervention is now just a fact of life in modern markets. To ignore it is to ignore a very big fundamental piece of the puzzle.

Stocks Bear Market Rally Continues / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Tony_Caldaro
The week started at SPX 2022. After a small rally to SPX 2025 on Monday the market pulled back to 2005 on Tuesday. After that the market continued to rise for the rest of the week, with only 10 point pullbacks, to SPX 2052 on Friday. Ending the week at SPX 2050. For the week the SPX/DOW gained 1.80%, the NDX/NAZ gained 1.05%, and the DJ World gained 1.40%. On the economic front reports continued to come in with a negative bias. On the uptick: the NY/Philly FED, business inventories, leading indicators housing starts, and the WLEI. On the downtick: retail sales, the CPI/PPI, building permits, industrial production, capacity utilization, consumer sentiment, GDPN, plus weekly jobless claims rose. Next week we get reports on Durable goods, the Q4 GDP and more Housing.
