A few comments for this week:
- We are expecting a bear market type rally given we are punched through the 3rd standard deviation BB
- First we may see lower prices on the open and overnight. Worst case is SPX 41’s, could see 51’s more likely. Break this area and all bets are off.
- Bounce in the S&P’s later this week likely will see 2000 which is a psychological level and may be held in there, break that area we may see the 2nd standard deviation BB before seeing lower prices around 2022.
- Key to the S&P is the bounce in DX – watch the 94 area, if we see 94 penetrated in DX, we open 90’s and SPX’s will follow. Longer term we break 90 in DX, could see a much larger correction. Low odds at this point but DX an CL are key to follow during this correction in the indexes.
- I have posted a few charts below . .
Good Luck this week. 🙂

Stan, Is not clear for me how you identify a trend day. You use the advance/decline ratio? I hear that at todays Q&A session but I can’t find that question at the recorded session you post. Thank you.
Ricardo – combination of $adspd and up volume or down volume as a % of total volume – ad > 300 potential for tend is there >400 trend is likely especially when confirmed by volume so 90% up or down volume a trend day – hard to turn but 80% or greater high odds – below 80 a two sided trade
Had to leave Chart Chat early. Had something scheduled prior to time change. Just reviewing the video. Currently S&P futures at ~1924. Not sure if SPX will open there or if Stan’s comment “All bets are off” will be in play now.
Otherwise, the question seems to be will the SPX have that bounce to ~2022 and then go lower to at least ~1950’s, 1920’s (where futes are now), or 1800’s?
Really good video Stan & Jack! Thanks. I hope you can clear things up, maybe Monday afternoon. The futures drop seems like a (unwelcome) surprise. Looks like a wild week ahead. Good luck all!
Follow-up. If a bounce to SPX 2020’s occurs I guess it might be on turn-around Tuesday?
Anyone out there? Will we get a FLAT W4 or is this a SHARP with C about to start?
