$SPX - Coiling

A large triangle may be in the works with price action coiling.  There are several trend/fork lines crossing in the 1190 area. 

Today looks quite bullish in my cycle work, but tomorrow looks more problematic (bearish), and so may see a dip after today.  It might be wise to approach carefully as the triangle matures - at least on a short term basis.

  1. Hi SC & followers, silver & gold could be getting ready to tumble shortly.

    Also SPX looks like it could drop to 1100-1110 area.

  2. Wow did anyone see that drop on SPX? it was crazy

  4. I have been watching that triangle for some time. Looks like it breaks one way or the other around sept.21. Question is, which way does it break.... up or down? I am inclined to think down but that's just a wild guess.

  6. Anybody else sees similarity of todays gold price action with the fall of 1979? It hit first top in early october, then coiled for 2 months and after that doubled in price by January 1980.

    If we are to apply the same time line/price targets - im coming up with 3840 USD/Oz of gold by December 24th 2011. That puts silver (if we are to challenge april's gold silver ratio of 30 in this timeframe) at atleast 128 USD/oz+ .

    This all would happen within 3months from today. We can only guess what would be the driving force for such gold price explosion.

  7. The white line on the chart above comes in at 1189. Not far away now!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Why gold and silver trading lower although Greece default seems like obvious? So does that mean if Greece survived both will shoot higher? I though gold and silver both reached to this height due to fear of debt so surprise by reaction

    ReplyDelete
  9. Bkuemoon to double from here expectation put you with other people who claims gold to be 5k or to da moon; time is different and don't think it will happen within one year, big gold bull will shake one more time small investors before taking to that height

    Just my thought

  10. SB,

    don't categorize people but rather look at the price action. Im simply drawing parallels. History has a tendency to repeat.

    SC,

    Is there anyway your cycle is 3-4months off? Both metals run from here into the fall/winter and then "crash" around december 2011 - january 2012?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Next cycle peak on the SPX 60min chart is likely first thing in the morning.

  12. Booked the gains.

    Hit the SPX trendline 1189.

    Both RUT and Rifin only have double topped with this morning - weaker than SPX. That puts this rally on shaky ground short term at least.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Just bought more TZA here. I am sticking with the idea that the markets will have to test 1000 on the S&P and 10000 on the Dow. I believe it will happen in next couple of weeks. Then it will be interesting. We will then see panic which we have only had a little taste of even though the markets have come down significantly since July.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Thanks Zigzag that could be, could be a little early yet, will consider shorting today or tomorrow morning.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Zigzag, could that time (11ET tomorrow) be a bottom instead of top?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Yes, if we can get a big enough swoosh down in the morning that could definitely happen.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 1197 is where the turquoise line rests. I'll be watching that if it continues to grind higher.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Very cautious here with this rally today, looks like it could be a fake push up on very light volume.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hello SC, ZigZag

    How big a swoosh down, you guys are expecting to make a bottom
    by 11 ET ?

    Like hitting lower white line @ 1145 SPX, or the red/orange pitchfork line @ 1120 SPX ? Wow-wee it would be, ....... but just asking.

    Thank you for your Analysis, SC .
    How much weakness in SPX you're expecting tomorrow? and are you really expecting the (day)Low around 11 ET ?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Eminis/SP failed at upper range for the day ....as posted I am a bear! Got swing shorts in off the high.........master cycle says it should be fun! Good trading to all! joed

    ReplyDelete
  21. gabeR

    Just checking, you sold longs somewhat lower? But you did not go short till today? or adding to previous shorts?

    You're an inspiring trader. Are you expecting SPX selloff to start tomorrow or later, like next week -- after the options expiration?

    Thanks, look forward to SC and your posts/thoughts.

    ReplyDelete
  22. pattern wise we wont see new lows in the next 2-3 wks

    lots of bears, lots of bear blogs

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi Anon, I'm not sure if we will have a swoosh down before that cycle time or not. My thinking is the 11:00ET will be the next peak and I'm using that as a time to exit some longs that I got on that cycle low on Monday.

    The Aug 9th cycle low on my daily chart should hold IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  24. My cycle analysis was bullish for Mon, Tues, and today. Tomorrow is fairly bearish and Fri is flat. It doesn't always line up ideally, but it does suggest a higher probability of a selloff tomorrow.

    The 11 ET time is intriguing as a result. SPX closed right at the white trendline 1189 after surging over it briefly! Cliffhanger close...

    ReplyDelete
  25. anon

    I have been doing some teaching so I sold the rest of my longs yesterday into the high so my mind was clear or I would have today..........todays shorts are the start of my swing position! Thank you for your kind words! Good trading

    ReplyDelete
  26. Sorry bluemoon wasn't trying to hurt your feelings..........

    Good call Blake on day silver call......any signal for today?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Stockboom,

    Still short this morning, but if it doesn't get additional weakness in the next couple of hours, it will likely close out and possibly go long. For now I am short, I will let you know if it changes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ok Blake will wait for your inputs

    ReplyDelete
  29. I am very bullish on the dollar. Started building my position around 74.5 on the dollar index. I have 75% of what I want now. Waiting to get another buy signal soon to add teh other 25%.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hi SC & followers, I wonder if gold & silver are slowly starting to roll over here. We should start to see some weakness over the next week or so. I think if gold closes below 1800 it is bearish.

    I am bearish SPX going into Oct but I wonder if they push this market higher to the 1230-1250 area before we plunge to 1000-1050 to end wave 5.

    Like to hear your thoughts

    ReplyDelete
  31. Muzz,
    I see 1790 as a more important level for gold than 1800.

    ReplyDelete
  32. SPX still holding fairly well, 1215 is an area to watch. Top out this morning looks likely, and drop.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks SC & Blake, let's see how it plays out :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sold my longs from the Monday 14:00ET cycle low. It's close enough today for me :-)

    ReplyDelete
  35. dollar looks like it might have one more push lower intraday, but it looks very close to a local bottom to me. Should push over 80 on the next rally IMO. I am tempted to pick some up here, but going to wait till the action turns bullish

    ReplyDelete
  36. Great work zigzag, are you looking to short yet or waiting?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hi Blake

    i have jumped in HZU at 1168 for scalp bope i will be ok; what is your system telling you?

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thanks Muzz and Blake, I started a small short on that last spike.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Stockboom,

    I do not know what HZU is. I am still short silver. No change yet. From the looks of it, there could be quite a bit more downside here, there still doesn't appear to be much fear in the PM's yet. I will let you know when I close out my short, but no reason to right now.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The metals are getting killed, I am loving it :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Agree Blake the metals are in a down trend now let's just go with the flow, I see more downside over the next week or two. The may really get smashed hard before one more big rally then I think an even bigger fall coming down the track :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. SC- Thursday Down, Friday Flat. What does cycle says for next week?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Metals getting killed? we are near 1800 gold and 40 silver, nowhere close to getting killed yet.

    Silver landed on the important '10-'11 support line, from here it usually rallies. Lets see if this will repeat for a 5th time.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Sal - Late Monday, Tues look quite bullish, but there is room for a decline today/tomorrow.

    I need to make some calculations to determine the rest of next week. Should have that later today. Will let you know.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Pull up multi year chart for silver and look at 150DMA, it held since '08. Currently its at 38.20, if we get a sustained move below then that would be significant, otherwise it could just bounce and keep on grinding higher.

    ReplyDelete
  46. bluemoon- Are you long gold and silver right now?

    ReplyDelete
  47. closed out silver short for now...will wait for a new signal before re-entering in either direction

    ReplyDelete
  48. Financials in particular have held well all day today. I'd like to see some weakness in them before shorting.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Adding to swing position shorts at 1206.5 in the night session....have a cycle turn for the 16th and 20th.........if my cycle work holds up this kinda move can leave without ya trying to get the perfect setup! Good trading! joed

    ReplyDelete
  62. Gabe,

    See a pullback to 1185ish SPX then there is room for move higher to 1260.

    Be careful.

    ReplyDelete
  63. MY LAST POST SHOULD HAVE READ..........

    I talked yesterday of the 1212 resistance area...

    ReplyDelete
  64. ckorkey,

    that is my take as well, but if we fail at the 1185 level, then I can see Gabe's scenario unfolding quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  65. more specifically,i have the 1160-1180 zone as the area that can halt the pullback.

    ReplyDelete
  66. PK,

    Yep, but has to pullback first lol!

    ReplyDelete
  67. gold silver rebounding nicely, target 1900-1950 gold, 43-45 silver, the reassess.

  68. From the high of 1371 to low of 1101..............

    50 fib ................1235

    61.8 fib .............1260

    I have turn dates end of next week.

  69. SC - I exited my longs today - On sideline - Waiting for confirmation for short or long continuation signal - What is your read?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Short term Divergences are developing to enter short (Not yet) Need confirmation

    ReplyDelete
  71. SC - Your cycle analysis still stands Bullish for Monday and Tuesday? What do you see for rest of next week?

    ReplyDelete
  72. Finally, the Financials are relatively underperforming today. 1215 SPX area was hit as mentioned yesterday.

    For today, my cycle analysis showed flat. It turns quite bullish again late Monday, and Tues. Waiting for the next set of data to see after that.

    A pullback is possible, but all things considered, may only see a sideways consolidation here.

    ReplyDelete
  73. SC - Thanks - you were right on the money on this move up (as usual) Keep up with the intelligent performance.

    ReplyDelete
  74. 1185-1187 should hold then up again into FED meeting.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Look at June 27th to July 7th.

    Repeat?

    ReplyDelete
  76. I've been watching that similarity as well.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Consolidation and move upward OR smart money is holding the market till they sell their positions and drop it to 1065 - Which way? Please give me a hint.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I think there is one more pop next week.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I still like my daily cycle for a top here. Next move should be a a test of my Aug 9th cycle low. Break that, and it gets ugly fast.

    Nice charts, still see room up to 1230-1260 but you never know.

    I have no sell signal yet.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Gabe,

    From your charts do you expect SPY to rise to about 126, then drop to about 100 by Oct. 20?

    Also, thanks for all your contributions. As a novice I look forward to your (and SC's) insight as I try to learn about cycles and market analysis.

    I trade "time" first and price S/R into it.....it seems everyone here is more interested in targets! Although I am short and will have a nice profit in the next day or so...I believe there is still time into the high! My style is to continue to take the short side intra day with large positions and small stops til it takes! If you will notice my swing chart with the GREEN line retracements, there has been NO overbalince in swings so there is no geometric evidence that this market is on bull move up! By the way my neural net system has done %450 in 18 months and is still short, of course it is a trend system for the large moves and is slow to react by design but it is sonething to note! Good trading! joed

    ReplyDelete
  94. Completely agree regarding time vs. price. The value of timing is underrated. It is a natural tendency to focus on price, but it is time that is the most important.

    The time cycles will dictate price targets.

    What I have found is that my time cycles have been working well, and have found it best to focus first on trading the timing cycle analysis, then fine tune price targets.
