  1. Well should have taken profits on Thursday except I was tied up with the long weekend. Oh well. I'll wait for the big bounce.

  4. I think the $INDU wants the 50 WMA. . .and I think it wants it today.

    1. That could be. SPX has tested it's 50 weekly at 2,565, but the DOW 50 weekly is a little lower at 23,100.

  5. For the PapaBears of the world...if W1 ended at 2585-ish, and Friday was W2, then W3 could target 2330-ish, with a final W5 low around 2200-ish (bearish targets are complements of Brother Pretzel). And as mentioned, Dr Bradley's VooDoo dates indicate a significant low/turn around 1 June...Coincidence? Hmmmm...SP500 down 3% at this time, so Be Careful!

    1. Wrong counts from this brother, corrective moves lower and 40 week cycle low. April and May are higher.

    2. Always in motion the future is...and the battle between bull and bear continues...but thank you for your insightful thoughts...the truth will be revealed in due time, until then...Be Careful!

  8. $11 SVXY has been reached today, and was up last week!

    "I think it may be possible for SVXY to test around $11. The weekly is starting to curl up though. If we are down this week we will see 3 weeks up next."

    2. SC - are we expecting 1 or 2 round trips between 2800 and 2600 during this whipsaw phase before the next leg down occurs?

      Delete
    3. SC - are you thinking we could still hit 13s on SVXY next week?

    1. Always good to take some profits in a choppy market. Nice to have some cash to take advantage of opportunities along the way.

  16. SPX nice reaction to the 50 weekly and channel support as identified!

    SPX may reach as high as 2,925 on this move. Expect a couple pullbacks on the way. The first around 2,700 from the resistance as shown on the chart. The second in the 2800's.

    2. UPRO target $165 but there will be pullbacks along the way probably from around $137 to $143, $150.

      Delete
    3. Nice, will buy 8000 shares more UPRO tomorrow.

  17. Nothing quite like the certainty of uncertainty...coincidence? Hmmmm....well, if you're still uncertain due to the ongoing uncertainty, you're certainly welcome to consider this... www.pretzelcharts.com ...for certain, always in motion the future is, so certainly Be Careful!

  18. Seems like another wave down to 2525-2565 before the rally to 2800. Now I see why SC called this the whipsaw phase. Totally wild!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Market has spoken! Strong reaction to the 50 weekly and channel support. Up until April 17.

  20. sc you are expecting 2700 area by april 17th then a dip and then 2800 is that correct thanks

  21. SC - gold seems like it could be a good long-term short soon somewhere between 1375-1400? Might be close to making its final highs in the next week or so?

    ReplyDelete

    1. You want to be careful about shorting gold if this starts going north in a significant way.

    2. Gold topping, bitcoin bottoming. Inversely correlated.

  22. RUT daily chart shows a H&S...and the right shoulder is peaking...Coincidence? Hmmmm...perhaps bank earnings will save the day, then again, maybe it's time to Be Careful!

    1. We are testing near the 2,700 SPX resistance on the chart and timing April 17th due for at least some consolidation soon or possible pullback.

      I plan to take some profits and watch how things shape up next.

  25. OpEx week, H&S on RUT daily chart, and a potential turn by 17 April...Coincidence? Hmmmm...bearish OpEx weeks have become rare events, but if the H&S pattern plays out in the next few days, then it's time to Be Careful!

    ReplyDelete
  26. We'll see what happens next. Protecting profits. Concerned bitcoin capitulation may occur soon.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. SC - I take it possible bitcoin capitulation could impact SPX as well?

      Delete
    2. Bitcoin capitulation could drag down SPX short term. SVXY may washout if it happens.

  27. There is a possibility that we could get smaked down here
    2600 ? sc your thoughts

    1. It is possible. I'm going to sit back and review some charts.

  28. OpEx week and another rally...Coincidence? Hmmmm...nothing to see here folks, move along, move along. RUT H&S is now null & void...but 17-18 April may become the high...so, Be Careful!

  29. sc your thoughts on spxs at this point looks like markets topping or spxu opposite upro thanks

  37. Not expecting much to happen this week. SPX looks to be forming a sideways move. 2,670 to 2,700 For the next 1 to 2 weeks most likely.

  38. it would not suprise me to see a massive rally this week

  40. Hey fella,

    On your previous post, "Bitcoin capitulation", have you changed your view?
    Basically you think that Bitcoin should make fresh highs this year?

    2. Cheers SC,

      Could you elaborate on that?

      Or your crystal ball is cloudy at this stage?

      What is your target price at the end of the year?

  41. The 17-18 April HIGH remains...Coincidence? Hmmmm...and LL remains a reliable contrarian indicator...time to Be Careful! (just kidding LL - trade safe!)

  47. 2580 is base of descending triangle. The Bradley magic voodoo chart I'm watching says no bull until June

  48. Expecting a low but not much lower. SVXY I'm interested $11.40. UPRO as well.

    Because cycles are up since February I've been focussing on long trades. Cycles still up into May overall.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Interestingly, SP500 is still moving lower...as originally guessed starting way back with that crazy Bradley VooDoo majikal date of 29 Jan...Coincidence? Hmmmm...and then there's uvxy...the gift that just keeps on giving...assuming one can stomach the ride. Near-term target is likely lower...perhaps 2595-ish today...then again, maybe it's a big rally to 2700...well, whatever you believe, please...Be Careful!

  51. what concerns me was april 2 april 3 april 4 setup looks like we could drop one more time before move up also was the tuesday turndate that sc was talkin about

    ReplyDelete
  52. SP500 bounces at 200-day, perhaps with help from ECB announcement, Korean Peace deal, and upcoming 1-2 May FOMC meetings...Coincidence? Hmmmm...GDP today could potentially cause a small pullback, but higher into FOMC meetings has been the pattern for many-many-many months, so Be Careful!

  54. sc is may 1st still looking like a bottom and what would be your entry for upro again and thanx

  55. SC - do you think we are just going to whipsaw in this 100ish point SPX range until May 11th and then we'll start the 2nd leg down?

    1. SC - do you think we could see 2800 by May 11th?

    2. UVXY still likely to come down.

    3. if that happens market will rip higher
      i bought upro at 124 do you think theres another low coming

      Delete
    4. SC - UVXY back to 12 would equate to about 2800 SPX?

      Delete
    5. SC - in a previous post you mentioned SPX up into end of this week, then should be down next 4 weeks into June once the whipsaw phase is complete - is that still the case? If so what are your thoughts. Up to say 2800 then down to 2300?

      Delete
    6. It may be early yet but the whipsaw phase is in the finishing stage. Some parts of the whipsaw phase have taken longer than I thought. I'm doing a review and will post an update soon.

      Delete
    7. Thanks SC - I assume you are waiting on UVXY to dip to 12 before going long?

      Delete
    8. Yes, that is the plan.

      Delete
    9. Thanks - looks like we are on our way to 2775-2800 SPX, which should provide us with UVXY at 12 and should be a great entry for the second leg down...

      Delete
  58. The range is tightening which is one of my least favorite configurations to trade. A lot of chop.

    Because we are approaching the big negative cycle I am becoming increasingly cautious. My focus will shift towards shorting in May and June.

    3. yes Whipsaw City, see if they try to use the IHS to breakout

    4. In my opinion we had 2700 to 2720 by May 15th and then slap down with a June bottom possibly 2580 to 2625 and then up to 3200 by year end just saying

  61. looks to me 2730 and then down possibly 2620buy end may 20
