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.

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.

Stock Market Rally Keeps Going.....Fed Responsible Again.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
What is left to say that hasn't been said already. When you look at the charts from this report over the weekend, you will see that they are very self-explanatory. It's been a straight up move leaving the bears feeling sick. You would think that after so much upside action, the market would have hesitated at the S&P 500 2044 gap. Not to be. Right through at 70 RSI on the daily chart. The Dow got to near 81 RSI today on its sixty-minute, short-term chart. Nothing stopping this machine.

Surge in Negative Headlines Usually Very Good Stock Market Omen / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
Watch out for emergencies. They are your big chance. Fritz ReinerOver the past few weeks, the number of individuals in the neutral camp rose, as did the number of bulls, and only the number of bears experienced a drop. When we combine the neutrals and the bears, the total is 72%, and that tells us that the sentiment is still too negative for a crash.

Rise of the Quantitative Robots / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
I read an article at Bloomberg the other day that focused upon a former mathematics professor who now runs his own Mom & Pop ‘quant’ shop (his home) from the desert plains in New Mexico. The article noted that there are big, powerful quants in New York City and there is a constellation of little guys out there writing their algos and skimming the markets with the precision that mathematical codes instruct.

Rising Stock Market Vollatility - Watch out below! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
I have profiled the 4.3-year trendline which was violated yesterday. You can see that there was another false breakout on September 29. Whether that breakout remains standing at the end of the day is uncertain, since there is a double Trading Cycle Pivot on Saturday.
Today is all about options expiration. This week is known as quadruple witching, which adds to the potential volatility.

Market Explodes on FOMC News / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had an interesting session with a mixed close, although they did come way off the lows early on when the indices had an early dip. They then stair-stepped their way higher in a 5-wave advance, pulled back to hold support, and then rallied back to resistance. When they couldn’t get through, they backed off into the close. At the end of the day, they did close green on St. Patrick’s Day on the blue chips.

Russian Stock Market Great Long Term Buy: Inflation Down 50% YOY / Stock-Markets / Russia
By: Sol_Palha
For a long time, we have been stating that the Sell-off in both the Ruble and the Russian stock market provided the astute investors with a great long-term buying opportunity. Well, This chart proves that things are getting better and that the Sanctions that the West imposed on Russia at the behest of the America was a stupid idea, but more importantly, it has made Russia even stronger. The chart below is proof of this; inflation is down over 50% year over year. Translation things must be getting better.

Kuroda, Draghi, then Yellen Pull the Trigger on Blanks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
As expected, the SPX Premarket is down again this morning. The “goose” that the markets got at the FOMC announcement are but a temporary reprieve from what is to come.
I will be gone all day to a conference in Indiana, so here is the level at which the market trend turns south. The trendline is self-evidennt, along with Intermediate-term support at 1994.28 as the confirmation of the change in trend.

More Stock Market Volatility Following Fed's Decision Release - Uptrend Reversal Or Just Consolidation? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Paul_Rejczak
Briefly: In our opinion, speculative short positions are favored (with stop-loss at 2,050, and profit target at 1,900, S&P 500 index).
Our intraday outlook is bearish, and our short-term outlook is bearish, as we expect a downward correction or short-term uptrend's reversal at some point. Our medium-term outlook remains bearish, as the S&P 500 index extends its lower highs, lower lows sequence. We decided to change our long-term outlook to neutral recently, following a move down below medium-term lows:

FOMC Bring on the Clowns, Dollar, Gold and Bonds / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Dan_Norcini
Honestly, more and more that seems to be the best phrase to describe when waiting for these FOMC statements to be revealed.
If we are not seeing a case of deliberate attempts to break the back of their own currencies among these Central Bankers, then "Scotty, beam me up!"
With the Fed Fund futures showing sharp increases AHEAD of the FOMC statement of rate hike probabilities, today's ultra dovish statement had everyone positioned on the wrong side of the currency markets yet once again. The result was yet another unleashed chaos courtesy of our Central Bankers.
