It’s been a while since my last post and my apologies for that. It has been an intense summer of medical treatments for my wife, exams and results for my children, computer upgrades and so on. I’ve been feeling somewhat drained. However the market has so far avoided being as tedious as it often is […]
read more »In my premarket video this morning for daily video service at theartofchart.net I was saying that until demonstrated otherwise I was expecting to see all time retests on ES and NQ before a possible swing high (and potential significant top). That high retest is at 3027.75 on ES and the high today so far has just missed […]

I was making the argument before the open this morning that equity indices were so close to obvious resistance on NQ, RTY, DAX and ESTX50, that ES might well deliver a lower high this morning and fail hard there. So far that has delivered though this morning’s high might need a retest. Premarket Video from theartofchart.net – […]

In the video below before the open this morning I looked first at the clear bear flag rally patterns developed on ES, NQ, RTY, DAX and ESTX50, then SPX, NDX and RUT. That’s a lot of bear flags and while these don’t always break down, they usually do and the odds favor that again here. […]

The strength of this push down after the support trendline broke on Wednesday morning was […]

If you’d like to see the recording […]
read more »In my last post I was talking about the touch of the rising wedge support trendline that I’d been looking for, and the bull flag that was forming on SPX, that should break up today if not seen on Friday. SPX gapped up through flag resistance at the open today, and the minimum flag target […]
read more »So far the scenario I was laying out on Friday has been playing out perfectly with the two red days at the start of this week, and SPX backtesting obvious trend support at the 50 hour MA twice. SPX didn’t quite retest Monday’s low yesterday, so the double bottom setup here isn’t perfect but SPX […]
read more »Looking at the average rises and falls on SPX from the start since 1997, the most bearish straight sequence of days of the year are the six days from 19th September through 25th September. Within those six days, usually including the September quadruple witching, the lowest percentage of positive closes is 23rd September at 26.67% […]
