$SPX - Approaching Target Zone

SPX 1366-72 is the target zone outlined in prior analysis and that level is set to be tested this week.  There is strong support at this level, and after spending some time to firm up, a sharp bounce is to be expected.

    Hi SC

    Curious to know are you in cash or would you go for xiv, after you sold your UVXY.

    Thanks!

      I have a plan for that. Let me explain tomorrow with prices. I see this month as choppy so there is opportunity in both UVXY and XIV. It should be a great month for trading.

      Joed: Would you elaborate few words about your chart? What is this "soybeans" stand for? Do you mean a pull back here and go up to 1446.25 next? As a beginner, I'm really dumb to understand. Thanks for your post.

      Yes, I think bounce early in the week, and then decline late in the week again.

      I think they'll drop for a few days, and then rise. So I am waiting a few days.

    Hi SC

      XIV would be the next move I'd look at making. UVXY looks like it is heading to around $14 next.

      A lower low. Notice that Gold is stronger, and this is important to see.

      I'm planning to review the price levels once some more action unfolds. Quiet and sideways for the last few days for Silver.

    and you mentioned early week of Opex is weak too? any more details?

      It has worked well:

      It turns negative on Friday, and most of next week is negative especially around the 6th.

    2. SCApril 9, 2012 at 11:52 AM

      Today/tomorrow are positive, then negative Wed, Thurs. Fri is positive and Monday is negative.

      My take for SPX is that we bounce well for a few days, then dive again to a lower low this Thur or Monday.

      Hi SC

      guessing you would probably go for UVXY tomorrow?

      XIV after next monday and hold till we reach the moon?


      Thanks!

    5. SCApril 9, 2012 at 12:11 PM

      Basically, yes. Ideally, I'd like to get back in around $14 for a run into the $20's.

    6. SantaApril 9, 2012 at 1:45 PM

      Hi SC

      for UVXY to drop near 14 tomorrow, we have to have a gap up and rise or something like that I assume, looking at the current future price in after market hour, it doesnt look great. What is your thought on if we barely drop tomorrow or just wont drop but rise tomorrow, would you get in no matter what tomorrow, into UVXY, even at a higher price? (Or you dont see that probability to happen, that you will most likely get in at a lower price than today from your cycle work?)


      Thanks!

    Hi SC,
    is it possible that silver put in a double bottom ?

    I see above that you are still comfortable with a lower low coming in silver .
    I've been patient and waiting although I'm tempted.

    USD dropped a bit and is looking weak like wanting to drop into the 78's although a word from Uncle Ben could change that in a heartbeat.

      USD is in very similar declining wedge pattern that pushed it up $ 1.5 on April 3rd. We'll see if USD rockets north again this afternoon to bring PM's down.

      I've been looking at 15 yr USD cycles and the 1996 USD coil pattern, just before USD took off big time through 2001 looks eerily similar.
      You started trading about then, any similarities or am I reading things into the picture as a paranoid delusion ?

      Hi ZigZag

      I knew I wasnt drunk, April 10 was a low in your map, curious to know if you know what Chester is talking about with that April 12 date?

      By the way, AA beat the crap out of the street in AH, curious to know your take on that going into tomorrow market hour, we blowing back up? or would this be a non event after tonight?

    3. ZigZagApril 10, 2012 at 2:19 PM

      I think I mentioned the 12th earlier because that's the next little dip on that chart before the big rise. It's likely that we go up tomorrow and then retest sometime on Thursday before going up.

    4. SantaApril 10, 2012 at 2:27 PM

      Hi ZigZag

      That dip looks so tiny, and April 10 low seems lower than that dip, better to hold the long if you buy today right?

    5. ZigZagApril 10, 2012 at 3:11 PM

      Yes, it's best to hold if bought today. There's always a chance this can be a day or two off, and this cycle has been working well for me for over two years.

    TECH buy signal was generated on close April-10th
    see the blog for data details

    BUT the mkt still needs to complete a 5th wave lower, if not today, then possibly April 18th or 20th

    Tomrrow has potential to rally & hold thru Friday's close
    but Friday early can be a little rough

    MY game plan is to GET LONG this afternoon at or before 3:30pm
