SPX Futures Are Higher, But No Breakout / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures rose to 2475.00 in overnight trading, giving rise to Wave (c) of a Wave [ii] correction. Last week’s inability to close beneath the mid-Cycle support/resistance gave us a hint of what was to come. The futures Wave structure suggests that the retracement may be over, or nearly so.

Stock Market Positive Expectations As Investors' Sentiment Improves / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Paul_Rejczak
Briefly:
Intraday trade: Our Friday's neutral intraday outlook has proved accurate. The S&P 500 index continued to fluctuate within its week-long trading range. The broad stock market is likely to open much higher today following futures contract rally after an overnight gap-up opening. We can see some short-term technical overbought conditions. Therefore, intraday short position is favored. Stop-loss is at the level of 2,490, close to early August record high. Potential profit target is at 2,455 (S&P 500 index).

Are Millennials Better Investors Than Boomers and Gen-Xers? / Stock-Markets / Investing 2017
By: HAA
Shannara Johnson : Poor, spoiled, disadvantaged Millennials.
The myth of the underdog youngster has been going around in the media for years.
He’s the poor schmuck who at age 32 still hunkers down in Mom and Dad’s basement because his post-graduate education only fetches him a position as PhD burger flipper at the Scottish restaurant chain which shall not be named.

Copper, Oil, Gold and US Stocks: Markets Big Picture Status / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: Gary_Tanashian
Sometimes I like to trot these lumbering monthlies out so we can quiet everything down and see where various markets are slowly heading.
First of all, as I go down with my ‘strengthening US dollar’ ship*, I also mal-projected copper’s upside. I’d felt that $3/lb. would cap Doctor Copper because it is very clear lateral resistance at a handy 38% Fib retrace.**

Is Copper Signalling inflation or Higher Stock Market Prices / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Sol_Palha
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it is also more nourishing.
- L. Mencken
Many pundits associate higher copper prices with inflation. While this is true to a degree, that is the wrong metric to focus on. Higher copper prices are usually associated with an improving economy. For the past few years, Copper which is a leading indicator did not trend in sync with the markets. It was marching to a different drum beat, but a new trend could be in the works.

Former Lehman Brothers Trader: Traders Shorting VIX Will Blow Themselves Up / Stock-Markets / Volatility
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : The New York Times’ DealBook had a great piece of journalism a couple of days ago about short VIX carry monkeys. Well, that is what I call them.
The article features a former Target logistics manager who has goosed his net worth up to $12 million by betting that the VIX will go down. He is in the process of raising $100 million for a VIX-smashing hedge fund.

Stocks Bears - Where Did Everyone Go? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Brady_Willett
The Fed started hacking interest rates in 2007 and QE3 ended in October 2014. This 7-year period of extraordinary ease, and the nearly 3-year upswing since, has been a difficult time for many market contrarians and so called ‘bears’. To wit, Cornerstone has been missing since 2015, Contrary Investor hasn’t released anything publicly since 2013, and Cross Currents, Beartopia, Financial Armageddon, iTulip, Nystrom, Iacono, and numerous others have gone into deep hibernation. As for Prudent Bear, Tice sold his fund as the crisis began and now the site is trying to look prim and proper (I preferred it when a visit to Prudent Bear meant reading the ‘Bear’s Lair’ and seeing another Tice warning about the coming collapse in the stock market (which, of course, Mr. Tice is still warning of)).

Stock Market Top this Week / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Ed_Carlson
Cycles pointing to a low near August 21 were successful. We now have cycles and Lindsay models pointing to a high this week.
Middle Section forecasts point to a top this week. The high on 7/16/14 counts 575 days to the low of the basic decline on 2/11/16. 575 days later is 9/8/17.
No middle section could be found centered on the low of the previous basic decline (10/4/11) that forecasts a turn this week.

Q4 Stock Market Correction?: Warnings from Citigroup, HSBC and Morgan Stanley / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: The_Gold_Report
Danny Deadlock, founder of Microcap.com, cites evidence that the last quarter of 2017 could be troubled for financial markets.
Last week I had the following calendar reminder pop up from November 2015:
"According to Citigroup's chief US equity strategist Tobias Levkovich, stock prices will continue to rise well after the Federal Reserve begins lifting interest rates. The appeal of large U.S. stocks won't diminish until the Fed is "three or four" rate hikes into its tightening cycle—towards the end of next year. History has shown that stock markets don't peak until two years after the first increase of a monetary tightening cycle."

Stock Market SPX : Morphology 101 / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Rambus_Chartology
Below is a daily chart for the SPX which shows you a good example of a morphing rising wedge. As you can see there was a false breakout above the top rail and then an equal false breakout below the bottom rail, symmetry false breakouts, red circles.
When that occurs we need to adjust the top and bottom trendliness to the new high and low to get the new pattern. The original rising wedge is now shown by the blue dashed trendlines with the new rising wedge the solid blue trendlines.

Stocks do this in October in Years Ending in 7 / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Chris_Vermeulen
It has been proven repeatedly by various market experts that stock market cycles exist. Whether you believe in them or not that is up to you, but as a technical trader myself I see price action repeat on virtually all time frames from the intraday charts, to daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, and beyond.
In fact, cycles tend to move in series of 3’s, 7’s and 10’s, and multiples of these as well. So, 3 bars, 7 bars, 10 bars no matter the time frame, though I find the 10min, daily, weekly, and monthly charts work best.
