$SPX - Comparison to 2016

SPX is mimicking 2016. Both years saw lows around March, with June and September corrections, and rally after the Elections. In 2016 there was selling in later December and then a larger selloff March and April. 2 hour chart

  6. What is interesting about this move for UVXY is that it started exactly at the prior February major low from the panic.

  12. What people need to realize is that both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine candidates are based on mRNA.

    Vaccines using mRNA have never been successful before. No mRNA vaccines have been approved previously. These companies claim to have discovered a new technology using synthetic mRNA.

    "But as elegant a mechanism as this is in theory, mRNA vaccines have faced real biological challenges since they were first developed in the 1990s."

    The odds are against these vaccines working. It's a real longshot.

    The most likely outcome for both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is that this new technology using synthetic mRNA just doesn't work.

    2. As some of you may or may not know my background is in the sciences.

      The most basic premise in science is that you form a hypothesis and then you work to disprove it.

      That hasn't happened yet with these particular vaccines.

      Pfizer and Moderna have provided their hypothesis about the mRNA. A small rollout is about to begin. This will be the test.

      In some months we will find out the results.

      Delete
    3. What they have tried to do is use a shortcut to make a "quick vaccine".

      Delete
    4. In other words the first vaccine candidates are likely to fail.

      Delete
    5. and even if they do work, it looks like the immune system retains antibodies to covid for only a very short time, 2 or 3 months max. So they want me to take a vaccine that uses new technology that's had no long term tests for adverse effects so it can give me immunity to covid for a couple of months? No way will I be a guinea pig for Moderna or Pfizer.

      Delete
    6. also, antibodies are just ONE tool the immune system uses. they've looked at immune systems of people who have covid but no symptoms or very mild symptoms and found that their immune systems have the ability to recognize infected cells. Once recognized, killer cells destroy those infected cells. Immune system also generates biochemicals that prevent the virus from replicating. Antibodies help, but the immune system has other tools. I think research should be focused on strengthening the immune system and finding effective therapies for fighting the virus once a person has symptoms rather than all this focus on a vaccine. The common cold is another corona virus. There is a reason we don't have a vaccine for the common cold, and there's also a reason you don't retain immunity to the common cold. https://news.trust.org/item/20201130191010-ibnfr

    Wait for two days --if this trend continues,

    start buying the uvxy---traders are purchasing protection!

  23. I'd like see UVXY come down faster to mark the low.

  24. It is quite likely that UVXY and SPX rise together.

    2. The committee resisted Tesla but finally they caved. Now that Tesla included in the S&P, Musk gets his exit. When Tesla breaks so does the S&P. Yes S&P now has a foundation based on all sort of hokey and far fetched schemes.

  29. SPX can't blowoff here because it just slowly crawls up the blue line at resistance. According to the model SPX getting ready for an 18% drop (half of the March panic). About a 700 point drop.

    It needs some time though before it will be ready. So SPX grind for now. We have to get past the Inauguration and all these other issues.

  31. As in August/September volatility getting ready for a move. That time VIX was right and SPX was wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  32. There are bright spot too. We're still in a reopening trade.

    ReplyDelete
  33. How convenient is it that Covid appears just as the aging baby boomers retire and need healthcare? Coincidence lol?!

    Everything happens for a reason. Demographics.

    On the next Covid selloff, just as Covid ends that is the time to get into healthcare for the demographics. We can see hospital beds filling up. So obviously there is going to be a healthcare boom.

    ReplyDelete
  34. So there are many ways to trade this market. Ideally just as we accomplished this year. Line up one trade after another. We're making money left and right!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. For reopening trades the model that predicted big up in November and then down in December show these up January, up February and up into March.

      Then down March all the way into September.

      Delete
    2. SPX timing is more complicated though it should be close to the reopening model. The addition of TSLA is adding volatility.

      Delete
    3. So are you saying basically from Jan to March Spx is to move up?

      Any targets for the top area?

      Delete
    4. What I would say is if a person were to short SPX here it might go 200 against, but would eventually make 500. Not a trade I'm making. At least not yet. I think it can go higher maybe 200 but 700 point drop in 2021.

      Delete
    5. SC model shows up Jan-Mar then down to Sept. What about gold and silver? Thanks:)

    6. Silver may see close to $35 by February.

  42. UVXY every time it has hit around this 50 dma in recent months it has been rejected. This time if it does reject it'll just be a quick dart down with reversal up. Let's watch here.

  51. Dec 24 2018 big crash, Mar 23 2020 big crash, that's 15 months. Mar 2020 to Jun 2021 is 15 months. SC your model SPX up Jan-Mar then down to Sept, do you see another crash or series of crashes, Jun 2021 to Oct 2021?

    2. Let's keep an eye on that timing.

    3. This is a highly volatile market. Partly it's because retail is actively engaged and inexperienced traders are emotional. Tesla now in SPX is like throwing gasoline onto a fire. It burns hot but it also burns out quickly.

      There will be a large crash but before that I am expecting 2 scary corrections. The March correction this year was 36%. In the next correction we can expect at least 18% (half of 36%) drop in 2021.

  52. SC, you think Trump has a chance with this lawsuit? Something like 50 or so have already been thrown out. However, my concern regarding the markets is that one of these things that he tries will actually have legs, or he that he might do something even more radical like martial law. Either of these would cause the markets to freak out! Unlikely, but the risk is there until the inauguration is behind us

    ReplyDelete

    1. The reason this is interesting for Trump is that he's always been the underdog. The 2016 Election Clinton, Mueller Russian collusion, and Impeachment all were said to be sure things. But each one failed spectacularly one after the other.

      Trump at least likely to gain some traction for this reason.
