The bears took control last week, crushing all the uptrend lines I had drawn on this chart. Now we have a well-defined downtrend. The market has also edged below several old long term and intermediate trendline extensions. If these aren’t immediately recrossed, the downside becomes wide open.
I woke up this morning to see the ES down over 60 points from yesterday’s close. I expressed my shock in a few posts at the end of yesterday’s thread.
had you been trading the futures from yesterday’s clothes through the overnight session and int…
If you are a trader or investor, you know the significance of this day.
I’m not sure, but I think I see signs that the US markets might gap down this morning. One can never be sure about these things, but my 53 years of watching markets virtually every day gives me an advantage. I can see the faintest suggestions of market…
As the trading range on gold tightens, there are some negative signs. I’m packing it in on most of the the mining picks for the time being.
The rebound from Friday’s carnage has stalled in the pre market, but indicators say, “Wait! There’s more!”
The ES fucutures need to clear 3408 to confirm that. If they roll over below that, bears could be in charge.
In any event, the worst do…
We have a selloff in the pre market, but the TA says, don’t trust it yet. Or maybe, “Trust, but verify,” for those of you of a certain age, like me.
Meanwhile, as for chart picks, I didn’t see much that I liked in this week’s screens. I didn’t add any longs. We’re already loaded to the gills there. I added two shorts, and one is conditional on a limit price entry.
4 picks were stopped out last week. With the the 2 new picks, that will leave 16 open picks, including 12 longs, and 4 shorts.
List performance improved last week, with the average gain increasing from +2.9% to +3.8%. The average holding period rose from 12 calendar days to 13, which is still less than the usual 16-20 days because I added a slew of new picks the previous week.
Chart picks are theoretical, assume 100% cash stock trades, no margin, no options, no futures.
I once read somewhere that past performance doesn’t indicate future results, or something. Is that true? Hopefully it is, considering some of my past performances.
4:30 AM ET That’s right. Happy European Standard Time Day. To my fellow Merkans, I am temporarily only 5 hours ahead of you on the East Coast. It’s 9:30 Central European Standard Time and 4:30 AM in New Yawk! I’m behind the 8 ball! Gotta get to work and get a Technical Trader report out to you this morning (Done!).
In other news, the virus has exploded here in Europe and in the futures, the 5 day cycle projection is 3406 …
Last week I was surprised when the US Government’s retail sales data hit a new high. No way, I said.
Well, Way!
Yes, some retailers are seeing booming sales, particularly online, and … wait for it…
Grocery stores. Even after pulling back from the lockdown spike, they’re still up more than 7% year to year.
Now there’s a basis for a thriving, growing US economy.
Not.
On this, the 20th Anniversary of Capitalstool.com, the progenitor of the Wall Street Examiner and Liquidity Trader, I want to share a few thoughts with you. Please “bear” with me, and come along.
I sometimes am asked to give my opinion on the work of other analcysts and eConomists.
