$SPX - Sideways Shuffle

SPX has traded flat for several weeks.  The trend could continue this week since Friday is a holiday and trading may be quiet.  NDX has been a little weaker for the last several days though.

The cycle analysis is negative at the end of this week, but with the holiday this may be pushed into early next week instead.  Detailed April cycles will be coming shortly.

  1. I agree with this. I think Fridays jobs report will be negative, and the reaction will happen Monday given Friday is a holiday.

    HVU is a buy on Thursday.

  2. Does any one know ..... Does the job report come out with the market closed? Are the futures trading on Friday??

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yes. Job report comes out Friday at 8:30 a.m.
    Futures are open, but close at 9:15 A.M. EST.
    Good trading.

  4. SPX bounced exactly at the midfork shown above 1404.50 this morning.

    It should dip again soon imo. 1398 is a downside level to watch at the orange fork shown in previous analysis.

  5. You was wrong about precious metals. What do you see next ? Sideways and a final dip around the 10th ?

    Thanks for sharing your convictions ;)

    1. Sideways and a final dip around the 10th?

      Yes, exactly. Rangebound this week likely, then dip again.

    2. According to you, what are the lower boundary and the higher boundary of the channel for gold and silver ?

      Thanks :)

  7. SC, after today, you see the SPX positive the rest of the week....think we then get new HVU lows possibly in the low $3 range?

    1. SPX can dip again soon imo. I see it being a quiet week small dips and pops - rangebound.

      That implies low volatility so probably late this week UVXY etc can undercut the low. They should be about ready to bounce soon though.

  8. DOW and S & P is rising crazy...what happened? any news out?

    Thanks

  9. Combo of US and Chinese manufacturing....good news though I think seasonally influenced.....I do think the Friday jobs report will dissappoint, and Monday will be a particularly bad day for the markets, and that is how I am going to hedge my bets. HVU on Thursday.

  10. SC, you expected UVXY to reach $18.50 today. It doesn't look like that will be reached. Are you still expecting to make a profit on your most recent trade? Do you still expect to see $7.50 and then $10.90 HVU?

    1. SC you bought uvxy at 20... no stops on your trades?

    2. April should be quite volatile. Plenty of opportunity to trade in and out of these.

      Delete
    3. How are you adjusting your plan as the volatility hasn't been playing out the way you've expected? Are you just holding UVXY until it reaches your $28 and $41 targets?

      You said you didn't see any point to repositioning, so it looks like you're in the negative with your recent UVXY trade. I don't see how you expect to be profitable when you don't really address when your expectations fall short.

      Delete
    4. There are negative cycles coming up in April. These are the spots when volatility pops. So the plan simply is to unload in these spots and reload when things are quiet again.

      Delete
    5. I'm not sure if you understand me, or maybe I don't understand you. You keep calling for pops in volatility at a future date; however, when said pop doesn't happen you simply extend the date further into the future and seem to ignore the fact that your original prediction did not occur.

      You've made some correct predictions that are related to the volatility, and when they're correct you say that it equates to a high degree of confidence. But, when your direct predictions on how the volatility should be behave don't occur, you seem to just ignore them and give another future prediction.

      Obviously, you know more about this than I do. But, just from following this blog there a few things just don't add up for me.

    6. I have a plan going forward to simplify this approach. I'll show what I mean in the next few days.

  11. when do you expect 1398 SC? Short term, where do you see the SPX going? I'm thinking 1443 this week.

    1. This is the level to watch for next week. The orange line slopes down so next week 1395 or so.

    2. by the looks of it it may be another year where "sell in may and go away" might be the best trading advice.

  14. SC,

    Do you see reversal in UVXY and HVU as positive for these two in coming days? do you think UVXY have made bottom now?

    Thanks

    1. Yes, looks good for tomorrow. This should be a choppy week but not major moves either.

  15. SC,

    I still think that the POS will hit the 30$ before going up. The charts that you made not so long ago still shows a lot of downside possible.

    1. Yes, I agree. I'll do an update this week on Silver and Gold. Thanks.

    2. I revised my equation and methodology for silver lease rate curve drop area (time x negativity) versus silver price drop for RB last week and the correlation for May, Sept, Dec of 2011 is straight line. The equation predicts current POS 30.2 closing cycle low based on Netdania line chart data. Actual low for the day could be $1-3 less than 30.2 on a daily spike down. Curious to see how this pans out. I wish I had data for before last May.

      From a cycle low standpoint, Mar 21st low was too early, I agree. However, the April 10th date is OK for silver but verging on lateness for gold IMO.

      It all hinges on USD I think as it could rocket anytime. USD cycle low IMO is last week of April so it needs to get moving. If USD breaks down badly to keep stocks up for another month, then perhaps Mar 21st could be the bottom. ??

    3. Thanks Hammerman,

      I greatly appreciated for your work.
      I will deeply look it out after finishing my exams.
      Take care,

      Have a nice day & trade.
      RB

    4. That makes a lot of sense Hammerman, and fits well with the update I have coming for Silver. Thanks very much.

      I think Silver can test $32 next, then $33.50, then the spike down next week.

  16. Hi SC, do you still see a major correction on the S&P happening shortly? Is the 980 target later this year still on the cards? What is the short and longer term outlook for the S&P.

    Thanks

    1. We don't have a top yet, but April looks weaker than previous months - a month of whipsaws. A late April low around 1326 SPX looks good. May bounce, and then June and Sept are months when the bottom can fall out.

      Delete
    2. You mean the top will show up on May?

      Delete
    3. I think top this month not much higher, then lower high in May.

    3. Daym Jay,

      Just when the bears have half a chance to get something going, you have to absolutely screw it up by being bearish. Don't be married to your shorts guys, the Wizard has speaketh. We bears are so screwed.

  22. SC,
    What about using March 20th as a "mirror" line in the gold daily chart. Would that suggest a large move up next using your symmetry technique? It looks like very good symmetry to me.

  24. Good call SC for silver. Silver is around $32 (a little bit under) so next move is $33.5 according to you. Let's see

  25. I feel that the POS will not stop there yet.

  26. IVE only been super bearish since MARCH 19th on that MONSTER sell signal generated by the INTERNALS as published
    ARMS 5day 69.6
    trin 5 day 348
    trin 10day 692
    explanations were published with the data

    March 19 = 1414
    fell to 1391
    ran to 1419 and topped at 1422 Monday-Apr2nd &
    the day's reading was for OPTIMISM & EXPANSION

    SO, from MAR19th to Apr 2nd the SPX gained 7pts- wow, super bullish, while ALL THE CHART patterns and data indicated a TOP forming.

    IT is GOOD TO BE FOREWARNED
    thus we can be ready when it hits

    Thsday stands good chance of a deep plunge

    the H&S NECK line support seems to be at 1340

    THOSE who Bash others are deemed RUDE. maybe those posters should be banished

    YES, I was in SALES, but not cars -- ughh
