SPX - Trendline Reached - What's Next?

SPX has reached the trendline from October.  An overthrow of the white trendline is probable.

In the short term a rocky road is ahead for a few weeks.  With the trendline above, SPX is susceptible to a significant decline in the short term.

  1. SPX saw a bull stampede in January, but the trendline is overhead now.

  2. Generally expect SPX to lose half its gains from December.

    1. A start estimated at 2,700 SPX yields a 2,525 target.

  3. Notice after last week's poor performance, it starts to feel heavier.

  4. For certain we were a little early calling the bear move. The first clue was the Sears bankruptcy pushed into February.

    The second when the government shutdown "can" was kicked down the road by 3 weeks into February.

    1. The dates shifted into mid February low.

    2. Hi SC, you're talking about three weeks to achieve a drop of 80-100 points from current levels. But over the past few months, declines have been far faster: once the market gets moving, it drops 80-100 points within two or three days, not weeks. Do you anticipate a much slower decline than we have seen recently? Or do you not expect the decline to begin until well into February? Thanks...

    3. I suspect may see an overthrow of the white trendline for SPX during the next week to hit the high. The bulk of the decline will happen fast during 1 week. Then SPX can decline slower for another week. So all together the process can take about 3 weeks time.

  5. Fascinating everyone loved bitcoin at $19,000 now hate it at $3,400???

    Bitcoin traders comfortable short. People calling it crypt0. You know what is about to happen...

  6. Not a fan of UVXY now I must say. Not a good place to look for volatility in a bull move with a tightening range. I'm lowering my target $42 down to $30.

    The time will come later. Just wait for the low hanging fruit to ripen.

    1. Expect just over last week's high of $70.

      Delete
    2. If SPX pops and overthrows the white trendline UVXY drops to maybe $45 then just over $70.

      Delete
    3. UVXY is very time sensitive. In a bull move for stocks must have patience for UVXY. I am always interested in UVXY at the right price.

    4. i have made more money shorting uvxy then going long

      Delete
    5. Yes, but always remember that was in a bull market for stocks in the past.

      Looking forward keep in mind it will be most exciting for UVXY in a bear market for stocks.

      Delete
    6. As always we will take it one step at a time. It is a most interesting time for volatility in both directions. I have many VIX charts coming which I plan to post near the turning points.

  8. sc: time to buy bitcoin now?
    many thanks..

    PS: if not now when?

    1. Bitcoin looks attractive for a pop. Charts said it could come down to 3,200. Currently 3,395. Target is 5,500.

      So yes it can come down a little. The longer we wait the chance of missing the start of the move increases though.

      Premium on GBTC still a little high at 16. Closer to 10 would be nice but still the risk reward looks good.

      Delete
    2. Bitcoin not for everyone should be mentioned. It's a personal choice to make. Plenty of action in more traditional markets. Bitcoin should be watched as a leading indicator for the stock market regardless.

      Delete
    3. SC - are you long-term bullish bitcoin and plan to hold some for the long-term or are you just trading it only? Just curious.

      Delete
    4. Just trading. I have a model for this year and its choppy. Later yes, but not now to hold longer term.

  10. SC, just wondering, could the cycles be inverted, as we reaching a high and now drop 4 weeks to a low by end of Feb??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I didn't use a timing cycle this time so it's not inverted, but I do agree. Down February.

  11. Great call on the SPX SC! The overthrow looks close to completion. The new moon on the 4th of February and shortly after could portend weakness. Nice to see your target in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Good luck to all!

  12. hot money will chase the market up but I have 2710 area as a good place for move down, close to your viewpoint....The fed gave bulls some breathing room which also creates a bullish ratio ripe for the taking......l

  13. S&P 500 best January since 1987! Haha

  14. Textbook overthrow of the trendline. Finally ready to decline. SPX 2,600 in 3 days. Next event Sears bankruptcy...

  15. Jerome Powell yesterday demonstrated more than at any time in history, that the Fed are 100% captive to the market and that it has lost any and ALL decision making strength when it comes to charting a sustainable future course for the US. 10 years and rates can't even get to half of where they were before the GFC.

    I know, I know, I know, the saying goes "don't fight the Fed". Unfortunately however what Jerome Powell did yesterday, was to drive the final nail in the coffin. that will ensure the eventual total collapse of US pension funds and the USD.

    Mark my words, yesterday was the WORST possible outcome for the future of US financial stability.
    This ushers in the final stage in the collapse of US economic and financial dominance and a handing over to the Asia..

    Very sad to see Jerome Powell cave in as easily as he did.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I used to hold hope that Jerome Powell possibly was the one to have the strength to make the hard decisions and had our backs covered, but how wrong I was.
    I think at one stage he possibly did have that intention, however he folded to the political pressure.

    Gold to da MOON!

  29. sc look at the nikkei index from 1980 to 1990 it hit almost 40000 at 27000 after a dip it exploded up and then dropped never recovered i am starting to wonder if a china deal will explode the market up like that melt up after a dip?
    your thoughts.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Nikkei during 1980's was a maturing economy and to that extent there is similarity.

      Markets perform best leading to a major top.

      At this time though I dont think nikkei applies. Hold that thought for later.

    1. SPX and bitcoin are correlated over the longer term but they move differently. Bitcoin does look ready to pop soon.

      Delete
    2. GBTC premium now at 10%. www.neotechdevs.com

      Delete
    3. So it's a reasonable premium now whereas when bitcoin topped December 2017, the premium was around 60%.

      Delete
  32. The low premium means that the hot money has shunned the bitcoin trade which means in the short term anyways perfect time to look for a pop.

  33. SPX looking tired, momentum fading.

    1. Little pop today but let's see. Still might be a lower low. Around $45 would be interested.

    3. The pullback for SPX is probably underway.
