$SPX - Weekly - Rounded Trajectory!

The Weekly chart for SPX has formed a well defined Rounded Trajectory.  Whereas SPX found support at the red 200 weekly moving average earlier this year, SPX is now approaching resistance from the blue 50 weekly moving average which is also declining sharply and thus pressuring to the downside.

It seems unlikely that SPX will be able to muster the velocity needed to break free from the gravitational pull that has been pulling it downwards.

The most probable trajectory is as shown.  While there is minor upside potential short term, a test of the red 200 weekly moving average is quite likely in the months ahead.

  1. Based on your chart, I do not understand why you decided to exit your UVXY position? Pure risk management or you expect a higher high soon?

    Cheers

    1. There's several reasons, SPX has potential to rise closer to the red arrow and the 50ma weekly which today is 2032. So there's possible upside of 50 points or so.

      UVXY is time sensitive. The next turn date is March 14th.

      Oil has been heating up the last several days, and since SPX and Oil are highly correlated I don't think it makes sense to short SPX until this Oil rally is mature.

      Bottom line I think a better short entry is coming.

  2. I understand SC. But you will admit that it is almost impossible to pick the peak precisely. And most market participants are always caught by surprise by the start of a sell-off.

    Based on your previous charts, although there is no bear market, it is likely that the SP500 revisits its 2016 lows in the next month or so. Hence, staying on the short side (with UVXY) tightly makes sense.

    Those are just my thoughts.

  3. And importantly, you sold UVXY almost at its lowest level. If you expect the volatility trend to be upwards, there is a small probability that UVXY trades below ~25.

  4. In my opinion with any leveraged etf it's better to lean on the cautious side, and cut a loss than let it grow. Of course it is not unnecessary to get the perfect entry, but quite often it takes 1 or 2 tries to get an optimal entry in these situations.

  5. 1947 is the base for next two months. 2020 upside.

  6. No bear market?...........what charts are some of you folks looking at.

    Markets are in a clearly defined bear market, currently we just in the "whoa, that was close stage" before the real plunge begins and gold is in the earlt stages of what will, IMO Be the biggest bull market in history.

    If any of you are are familiar with Jeff Kern and his gold stock system SKI, i have been a long term student, you will know what happened last week. A never before signal that portends financial chaos and a gold and silver rally the likes of which has never been seen.

    2. Louis, you and the vast majority of the rest of the world's population are about to be amazed. Jeff Kern developed his mechanical system over 40 yeats ago.
      It is without a doubt the best system ever developed amd not by a small margin, by a country mile.
      Is it perfect?.....of course not, but also just gave a signal which is highly highly unlikely to be a false or failed signal.

      I have have followed and been a subscriber to Jeff for over 15 years. Get ready for a USD global financial collapse of epic proportions.

      Notice the reaction to Drahgi's latest attempt at re-flating and more impotantly gold's reaction?

    3. just remember when market collapses every thing goes down with it i will maintain my 750 price target on gold

  7. SC, what' your XIV target with SPX around 2032?

    ReplyDelete
  8. SPX is sliding, and may dip for a few more days. Then it should rise again. SPX on pace to peak late March in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  9. We are very close to the next leg down of what is already unfolding as the greatest financial collapse in centuries.

    The compkacency amongst you all is just astounding. European markets are about to collapse to new lows and as I have said constantly US markets are following the DAX much much lower.

    Look for substabtially lower lows in April before any signs of a bounce likely into mid-year followed by total chaos into October.

  10. The next turn date is March 14th. It's likely a low so I'll be interested in positioning in XIV for the next leg up.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hi SC,
    What would UVXY be at if XIV is at $24 and will you be buying UVXY at that time.
    Thanks again

  15. SC, XIV low was $20.02, do you think that was it or $19s still possbile?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Looks like the dip is over.

    ReplyDelete
  17. XIV should peak $23 to $24 in about a week. I'm going to focus on shorting. Waiting for UVXY to decline.

    ReplyDelete
  18. SC, at what level (price) do you see the S&P topping out?

    Also is there a chance we just go to new highs without dipping into the 1800s?

    Thanks

    1. I'd estimate the red arrow target is around 2045 SPX give or take.

      There's no chance.

      Delete
  19. SC do you see the 14th the turn date as being the high now instead of a low?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes, the timing cycle was inverted in February. Now it has reverted back to normal. So it does show March 14th as the high.

    Next turn date is April 8th. It'll probably be a low, but in any case I think SPX 1930 to 1940 by that date.

    ReplyDelete
  21. SPX finding resistance right at the 200 dma. Support is around 2,000. The 50 weekly ma is 10 points higher.

    SPX might dip to test around 2,000 and then see a littler higher this week.

    It does look to be getting close to a high.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Notice also today that VIX is higher than Friday, and also the low early in March.

    ReplyDelete
  23. SC, is this a small dip for SPX and will head higher ?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes, SPX is getting ready to spike up.

  25. thanks SC
    seems like OIL is getting hit yesterday/today any thoughts on that aswell. ?
    appreciate it

    1. Yes, Oil and SPX are still correlated. Oil is getting expensive.

  26. SC, What do you think about GDX movement in terms of direction until next month..

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The Cycle is still bullish for Gold for probably several more months. The pullbacks will likely be minor for Gold during this time frame.

      Silver is working towards my $17 target. The pullbacks in Silver are more pronounced than Gold which is interesting.

  43. RSI at 70 today. XIV is extremely overbought.

    "For example RSI(14) closer to 70 ideally on the daily chart of XIV would be extremely overbought."

  50. SC what is your max upside limit if this up move decides to continue on next week?

    At what point is there a mental stop loss basically.. for your theorry of going down 300 points...

    1. Currently SPX is close to the white trajectory line as shown on the chart above. The white line should act as a resistance and repel.

      So this is a very nice spot to look for a decline. If SPX were to escape this white line then it would be time to reconsider. It seems highly unlikely considering this white line has repelled for more than 2 years.

      There is a trendline up around 2080 SPX, and also a time stop can be kept in mind. The next turn date is April 8th. The bears want to see action to the downside by that time.
