Approaching Key Support

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was talking in my last post on Friday about the likely mean reversion move coming that should at least return SPX to a backtest of the 45dma, now at 4549. The low so far today has taken SPX down to the 4565 area, so that is getting close, and SPX is now in an...

Thanksgiving Thoughts

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]UPDATE NOTE - Since I wrote this post last night, SPX/ES has obviously broken down from the asymmetric double top there with alternate targets in the 4540 and 4515 (both SPX) areas, though so far, NDX/NQ has not yet broken down. So far this week SPX has defied the historically bullish tape over Thanksgiving and...

Options For Next High

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As I was saying in my last post on Monday, the all time high on SPX a few days before was at an impressive 5.54% over the 45dma and, excluding the spike up after the low last year, was one of the highest against the 45dma in the last decade. This is a good indication...

Mean Reversion Looks Close

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The last high on SPX reached a few days ago was an impressive 5.54% above the 45dma, one of the highest readings in the last decade excluding the initial spike up from the March 2020 low, and slightly above the 5.4% reached at the early 2018 high. Coupled with the strong punch over the NDX...

Another Day, Another Inflection Point

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was saying yesterday that I was expecting the decision in yesterday's inflection point to be made fairly quickly and so it was. The smaller NDX H&S pattern I showed broke down at the open this morning and has now made target. NDX 5min chart:[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="119393" img_size="large" alignment="center" onclick="img_link_large"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]That has completed the larger H&S pattern...

Nasdaq Setting Direction Here

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I haven't written a post since 1st September as I've been immersed in divorce paperwork again. That should all be finished within a few days, and that should be the last serious work that needs to be done in my quest to be single again, which will be a relief. This should therefore be the...

Rising Wedges And Mean Reversions

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was looking at the tests of the main resistance trendlines on SPX and ES on Monday, and at the possibility that SPX might turn down there. Instead it broke through, dragged upward by tech stocks, and the very nice daily RSI 5 divergence on both SPX and NDX was lost. On both SPX and...

A Moment Of Truth

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I've been looking at the resistance trendlines on ES and SPX over my last few posts, and the scenario I was looking at in my post on Friday 6th August that we may be seeing the start of a retracement here that could deliver a 3800 area retest. I was saying that we might well...

Testing SPX Rising Wedge Resistance Again

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was saying in my post last Thursday that if support was found at the levels being tested then, the next target within the rising wedge would be wedge resistance in the 4500 area, and well, here we are. Now we are back at the daily upper band, and testing a wedge resistance trendline that...

Testing Key Support Levels

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]SPX went to the resistance trendline that I was looking at in my last post and we have seen a 2%+ retracement from there so far. On the daily chart the RSI 5 has reached the 30 level and the close yesterday delivered a clear break below the first big support level at the daily...
