$SPX - Week Ahead

As anticipated there has been strength into Nov 14th.  Much of my work suggests a high around Nov 17th, and then decline into Nov 21st.  The theme continues to be the same - November whipsaws.

15min Chart















Since late October, NDX has been weakening relative to SPX.

  3. I don't care what time cycles or whatever the SPX is saying, the fact is that Eurozone bond yields are begining to signal disaster for the EU.

    Markets are about to collapse and the herd have been hoodwinked into the biggest "bull trap" in history!

  4. Oh one more thing, go and compare late 2007 to now and look what is about to befall the markets

    ReplyDelete
  5. Beetle, I've shown that 2007 comparison, and will continue to update on that similarity. One step at a time...

    On friday I mentioned a backtest of the turquoise line at 1250. We have done that, now can push higher into Nov 17th.

  6. The entire world is aware of the 2007-2008 analogue. Back then we were told how the housing and credit problems were to be contained and thus not to worry. Today we are inundated with bad news daily form Europe and here at home and everyone is waiting for the "impending collapse". By my take, things are never that easy. Look for the market to continue surprising to the upside near/intermediate term

    ReplyDelete
  7. I agree, and want to be clear in that I do see the 2007 pattern continuing to play out, but only to a certain extent, and it is a different ending this time around.

    It won't be "predictable".

  8. PK, so instead we'll just get a lot of volatility. Powerful upswings followed by as powerful downswings.

    ReplyDelete
  9. AM, that is exactly right.

    We want to focus on the mkt in front of us. Right now that means whipsaws. Then, when the timing is right, switch to a bearish/bullish position.

    That is the key to know when to switch strategies, and that is why the timing cycles become very valuable.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I am guessing this high volatility may actually lead to money leaving the markets and causing full blown deflationary sell off sometime in the future.

    ReplyDelete
  11. AM, I think you are right! All this volatility spells a crash later.

    ReplyDelete
  12. So the strategy for most should be capital preservation and waiting patiently for the big move. This is where money is made. Now, how do we filter out the noise and get the timing right?

  18. SC, whats your take on metals here? gold and silver holding up well despite dollar advancing. Do you think this will continue on from here into 2012 and we have already seen our lows for 2011 at 26/1532? -Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Silver is trading sideways in the oval as expected. Just more than half of the rounded top is complete now.

    There is some sideways yet to finish the top, and then it'll plunge again to test the $26-28 area.

    I'm very pleased with the way it is trading. It is nearly exact per the pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'll let you know when Silver is ready to go off the cliff.

  21. USD has been sending a clear signal. 7 of the last 11 trading days it has closed above its rising 50dma.

    Can't believe stock markets are dithering whilst the dollar, Euro yields and CDS's signal disaster

    ReplyDelete
  22. what is your take on oil SC? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I can't see oil going much higher here. Looking top heavy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. beetle juice, something is bothering me about USDX i was expecting a strong break out of these levels but its seem to be struggling, is it a sign that it may head for a double bottom from here to 71 ? we did leave a nice hole at 75-76 level...

    ReplyDelete
  25. I would think oil trades much lower by mid-Dec.

    ReplyDelete
  26. SPX backtested the turquoise line again today. There should be upward pressure into tomorrow.

    Thankfully we should be out of this slop soon, and into some cleaner moves!

    ReplyDelete
  27. RUT stronger today, possibly an indication

    ReplyDelete
  28. SC, thank-you for your efforts. Wondering where you see the SPX heading? 1254 range or greater? 1278?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Quite a solid push is possible 1280's. Let's review targets later today and tomorrow morning. Because of all the chop lately, the timing turn dates have been helpful.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hi SC

    Would tomorrow be the day you would still expect the top with today being down quite a bit from yesterday? And then it will drop to 21st still?


    Thanks!
    David

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yes, that is what the cycle work suggests.

    ReplyDelete
  32. with the last hour drop in spx, does that affect your cycle work for tomorrow SC?

  37. Gabe, thanks for the charts. What are you targets if it fails to the downside?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi SC

    curious to know what kind of bounce you predicting for tomorrow. Consider today end of market drop, even with a bounce, may only get back to today's high. Is that what you expecting as well or some where higher?


    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  39. One giant ramp is about to commence. Hope you've been buying the dips.
    This cycle doesn't end until January and possibly March..

    ReplyDelete
  40. Which way zigzag? With the eurocrisis and bond yields going nuts, I don't think there is anything that will support this market going higher from now to January...I think the shoe drops first, and quite low.

    Do you have shorter time frames you work with? What about number targets?

    ReplyDelete
  41. SC, for tomorrow to be a bullish day on the SPX (you said the same about the 14th by the way), it will have to be a 40-50 point rally.

    Spanish and French bond auctions going on tonight before the market opens.....I don't think you have a chance here.

    What am I missing? Could your cycle be off?

    You also mention that the next low should occur around the 21st, which can make sense if there are issues with the super committee, however I wonder from what level will that low happen, as I think we could already be on our way there and have missed a Short opportunity.

    Thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  42. SS76, I posted these charts and others at the October low. We are following cycle patterns from 1998 and 1966. INDU has been positive from Nov 12th thru Jan 2nd for 10 straight years. I'm pretty sure they'll think something up to make it 11 :-)

  43. The 14th was not an up day, but it was a top and the futures were up that morning. These timing cycles have been working quite well.

    I do think bounce tomorrow. Fri/Mon look weaker and mid next week looks very positive again. Bulls/bears have been disappointed in Nov. It is just whipsaws that we are seeing.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Morning SC

    wondering if you still think the bounce is on today? this morning dropping so far still (continue drop from yesterday)


    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think so, there is support at 1230.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Silver close to a short term bottom. $2 bounce coming.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hi SC

    was that the bounce you were seeing just now for spx? didnt really do a whole lot of rising...tomorrow looks scary if this is a bounce.


    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I like this Silver trade better than SPX. High probability trade, better upside, and I see another Silver trade following it. Much cleaner action than SPX.

    I'll update the Silver chart today.

  54. $2 would be great, but the market seems set for a major drop. Good US economic data offset by Euro news.....bond yields rising, seems like a credit rating downgrade is coming.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Other thing is, if you are seeing market weakness for the next 2 days, don't you think Silver will also have downside still?

    ReplyDelete
  56. That is a good point. Remember, for now I just see a sideways mkt with whipsaws. May see some minor weakness Fri/Mon.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Thats just my opinion, but you are saying that your timing cycle on Silver points to an up today or Tomorrow?

    ReplyDelete
  58. The upside for Silver would be into next week. Over a few days.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Around $35 for the Silver future, would not trust it beyond that.

  61. Thanks SC. Would be great if you had an updated Silver chart given your topping formation.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yes, I will show the updated chart for Silver later today. There are some nice moves coming imo.

    ReplyDelete
  63. SC, they can drive silver up and down easy in thin volume when US markets are closed. If general trend is down - then shouldn't we stick to it?

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'm just working off of my Silver pattern. Very pleased with the way it is working.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hi SC

    almost half trading day gone, we got a few small bounce, nothing huge. Curious if you see in your cycle for now are we heading downward till 21st?


    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Still may bounce today, it's been sluggish thus far. That's right I would be looking at downside (may only be minor) into the 21st in any case.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Gabe... Silver just dipped below 32.00 does that mean we go to 30?

    ReplyDelete
  68. spx at 1225.31 now...looking bearish so far...is this a trap for bear before the bounce you see SC?


    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Ok, all support levels are being taken out. What to do?

    ReplyDelete
  76. No bounce today so the conclusion is that the cycle high came in late yesterday. That means down pressure into 21st.

    For Silver I think the way to play is to put in a stop just below the low today.

    ReplyDelete
  77. SC, i hope silver bounces, i closed some of my shorts. But looks like it may be an elevator down to new lows.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Hi SC

    Are you sure it will still be 21st for the decline to? I mean if your cycle high got push 1 day in advance, how can the rest stay the same? Confused.


    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I do think Silver likely to rebound, hit an important support today. Chart coming.

    I'm going to look closer at SPX - have been eyeing the 1187 area for a while. It seems the cycle came in early, but it wasn't much early, and I don't see that impacting future dates. Nov 21st still makes sense.
