Well, that was interesting yesterday, and that was a really impressive move on equity indices that finally ended the longest trading period in SPX history without a 5% retracement. The mindless bullish euphoria has ended for the moment, and overall, we should be back in a more two-way market environment for a while. In terms...

Seven Percent And Counting
I was looking for a decline of more than 5% from the high on SPX to signal that the market was normalizing into a more two-way trading environment, and that has been hit today, and then some. On the video below, I was noting the large amount of positive divergence on various charts and liking...

Stan and I are doing our free monthly Chart Chat on Sunday at theartofchart.net. We'll be covering the usual wide range of instruments and you can register for that on our February Free Webinars page. No futures charts or video this afternoon as I tripped over this morning while trying to find somewhere in an unfamiliar city using...

Return To Santa, Address Unknown
I'm definitely in a holiday mood this week. That's not really due to declining workload; by the time I finish today, I'll have published between 55 and 60 charts and three videos. Nonetheless, the holidays are in the air and I'm feeling festive. Santa has been AWOL for a couple of days on the indices...

Probably A Dip To Buy
I was seeing a possibility of a retracement last night and was talking about that this morning in my premarket vid. The 60min sell signals on ES and NQ have made target but there is a strong case on NQ for a hit of a wedge support trendline currently in the 6460 area and that...

Twas The Week Before Xmas
A strong start to the week, and we're likely to see at least some more upside, as the double bottom on RUT/TF that I was looking at on Friday has broken up with a target at a retest of the all time highs. I'm expecting that target to be hit. NQ is testing the trendline...

RUT – The Sleeping Giant Awakens?
Back to back reversal trend days, which we haven't seen in a while, and NQ has now made the new ATH that Stan and I were looking for. My video was moved from premarket to just before midday this morning, as a big Windows 10 update took my media computer hostage for several hours and...

Santa With Some Reservations
Looking at the shorter term charts, there are some signs that we might see a retracement, though, with Fed tomorrow, any retracement may need to wait until then. There is a possible case for NQ to backtest the weekly pivot at 6344. Intraday Video - Update on ES, NQ, and TF: [embed]https://youtu.be/ivprr_nDeRw[/embed] On the SPX...

Breaking Up Isn’t Hard To Do In 2017
Bears really haven't made a significant impression on equity indices this year and, statistically, there's not much reason to think that might change in the last month of the year. One key trendline that I have been watching is the very decent looking rising wedge resistance from the 2016 low and that has broken up...

Thanksgiving Week
For some reason, Thanksgiving never made it as a national holiday in the UK, possibly because England was feeling a little sour after only winning a nonetheless hard-won second place in The War Of Independence, but I certainly always enjoy it, and various branches of my family have had a long and storied history with...
