I’m traveling so I must cut short this post. In summary we still have sufficient technical pillars of strength that this market can press on a little more but the “wheels” are starting to fall off this bull market one by one as a greater number of indexes failed to confirm the recent US major …

Apologies for the slight delay in posting my Sunday reflections. Please find them below. Since the last breakout its been a time of number crunching and questioning this most recent rally. Below is my analysis. But first some reports. First up the uber bearish AG ag-wklytech-16-6-14 And here the equally uber bullish fitzpatrick: citi-wklyytech-16-6-14 And …

Swiss holidays yesterday so this week’s technical run through has been delayed slightly. Price has pushed on from last week’s report and as a consequence some of the technical readings, according to the team are rapidly moving into a contrarian territory which is starting to signal we are moving into the zone of the medium …

We had some very promising price signals last week and the promising market breadth then resulted in a Thursday session breakout for most the key sectors. The Nik225 joined the move and the bull market started to move forward once again. In spite of some key technical signals that participants had started to allocated long …

The Swiss team have reported and they have provided a near term toppish recommendation on the lead sp500 index. The rational is a combo of: 1) over bought momentum. Correct for the lead indexes like dow transports, health and semis although many other indexes remain with low rsi’s and relatively unloved. It is very poor …

First up I wish i could be more certain of near term direction here. Issues such as market breadth are very inconclusive. Lets run through it. The bulls can point to the sp500 and % stocks above their 200 dmas as maintaining a solid bullish continuation of this 6th year of this bull market. Certainly …

2014 has thus far been pretty disappointing if you played for a bullish continuation from 2013. Most sectors and intra indexes have struggled. Following on from the last 2 weeks more positive price action the Dow Jones is back to her 2014 opening price. The Nasdaq, as of yesterday, scrapped just above her 2014 open …

The professionals remain very divided on where we are here. Some US equity markets reach new highs whilst others are technically struggling. The commodities remain an answered question for now with Fitzpatrick below providing a timely update on the inflation question. First up here AG sticking to their bearish “guns”. AG-tech-24-5-14 And here GS with …

I’m still playing catch up here but the quick view from yesterday on the forum “markets” pages wasn’t a bad summary, for those that caught that. Here the swiss team’s latest report: wklytech-20-5-14 Here an excellent chart pack from cs cs-techcharts-17-5-14 Here GS GS-mmwkly-17-5-14 Here MS FX MS-FXwkly-16-5-14 “We believe the stage is set for …
Its a wise trader/investor that knows how best to allocate his time at different stages of a market. Effective time allocation is a great part of mastering trading practice. We have a low volatility lull here as directional and indeed cross asset spreads stretch and fail to comply to historical means. Whats more these spreads …

I’ve finished my travels for now so I’m able to make some more pertinent comments on this market and bring you the usual Tuesday analysis a day late. The Swiss team forecast a near term weakness possible until end may. This is on the basis of momentum divergence and weak internals. They don’t forecast anything …
