SHORT TERM: market rebound continues, DOW +109
Overnight the Asian markets were mixed. Europe opened higher and closed +0.45%. US index futures were slightly lower overnight and the market opened a bit lower at SPX 1282. The market had closed at SPX 1283 on friday. Within the opening minutes the market started to rally. After a bounce to 1286 and then a pullback to 1283 by 10:00 the market moved higher. The rally continued until after 2:00 when the SPX hit 1292. A pullback to SPX 1287 by 3:30 followed, then the market rallied into a 1291 close.
For the day the SPX/DOW were +0.75%, and the NDX/NAZ were +1.25%. Bonds were up 3 ticks, Crude dropped $1.25, Gold slid $6.00, and the USD was lower. Support for the SPX remains at 1261 and then 1240, with resistance at 1291 and then 1303. Short term momentum hit slightly overbought at today’s highs after ending at neutral on friday. Tomorrow the FED’s FOMC two day meeting begins. At 9:00 Case-Shiller reports its monthly update on housing prices. Then at 10:00 Consumer confidence and the FHFA housing index is released.
The DOW continued to make new uptrend highs today as it closes in on 12,000. The upside momentum in this international index is supporting the other three major indices in the US. As a result the SPX/NDX/NAZ all had good days. Yet they are still below their recent uptrend highs. This week’s FOMC meeting, scheduled to end on wednesday with a 2:00 statement, is often a market mover. If the market is lower tomorrow we could have possibly seen the high in the DOW today. For now, the short term OEW charts are positive with support around SPX 1285 as the market bumps into resistance at the OEW 1291 pivot. The overhead resistance of the fibonacci cluster (SPX 1289-1306) and the OEW pivots (1291, 1303 and 1313) remains. This could be a pivotal week for the major indices. Best to your trading!
MEDIUM TERM: uptrend may have topped at SPX 1296
LONG TERM: bull market

A fresh round of buyers would not suck. Might be too late to turn this boat around today though.
that did not suck- 1283.80 will create overlap. otherwise up.
See ya’s manana for the big day.
whats the count then short term ?
Hey Tony
Rahms back on the ballot ..

cheers!

Love oneself, or love oneself and all others. It’s a choice.
This was arranged about 2 years and 2 months ago.
It’s a done deal
Sounds like after the Presidential election victory. Ah, a phone call!
“I either want less corruption, or more chance to participate in it,” right ?
Nice C B !!
Cook County is calling you !
Lol..that was a quote, btw, Lee… Rahm has picked a nice city with a good “cash flow” potential.
seems to me that 1282 is not support yet based on what we’ve see so far http://screencast.com/t/0irTLyx60 Same thing on 60 min. But maybe I just haven’t had enough coffee today
1).618 back. If that was an X wave back then C down = A ~10 points lower. Let’s see what they give us.
2)D up will fight TL
3) new highs
haha- man that was bad. Up, down, or sideways!? brilliant.
looking to see if it overlaps 1283.97
well looks like u got ur wish H D
Pivots and fibs
1284.50 = .618 days lows pit high ESH
Ur doing great CB! comin in oversold on ma89. Under that and……
c’mon Lee- let em rip higher 1 more time.
For a E wave ??? and 2 ? help a brother out H D
For the triangle? If so, this would be C down from B high yesterday. It’s too early for this pattern but it’s on the radar.
Kinda interested in the gap at 1280. Bulls have had trouble holding more that 25 unfilled gaps. go figure…..
yea my EW sucks doesn’t it..yikes :/
Ill stick to putting Rogaine on my beard
EW sucks doesn’t it..yea yikes :/
At least u didin’t try to count CT. WOWZA.
Way too much coffee today. sorry guys.
Thanks HD.
from 1296-1271-1291 .. 61=1276, 100=1267, sth. like that?
Morning. ABC back?
absolutely H D….Fed day:)
Gotta be quick these days. Maybe 1 more high. 1298ish.
I trimmed the beard in anticipation.
GM guys. Thanks HD. These offset MAs are starting to cross over again. http://screencast.com/t/pfrCQg3yY I need below 1293.05 on closing basis. Buh-bye beard
or hello 1301 or somewhere in-between…
Hey CB- Ya. I’m trying to ignore a triangle potential here but honestly we have a couple options for st patterns.
My beard is the only thing keeping SPX from making a new high.
And it’s starting to grow thicker and thicker,,just saying
Great HD. Keep stalking them – I like to scrutinize my options to death
Hey Lee, so you beard is of the contrarian kind, huh? OK, we really need you to be our beard powerhouse now, …or else…
1278.50 = .618 year high to reaction low at 1267.50 ESH
we’ve had 3 touches there lately
C B
I’m trying I’m trying
))
Thanks Lee. U can do it
Hi Tony, if we see the correction starting this week we should be watching supports at 1179 on the SPX and 2240 on the nasdaq, right ?…so I wonder which one is the most important to watch ?…. because we could see a brake of 1179 but 2240 holding…so if this is the case, would the bullish count be in doubt ?, however wave C (bearish count) would not be confirmed either !!
Hi MGD, SPX 1179 would be quite normal, NAZ 2240 would not. The most important to watch going forward would be the NAZ.
Hi Tony! The kids are back. Did you miss us (a little bit)?
=)
Love oneself, or love oneself and all others. It’s a choice. Your future depends on it. Time is short. Make the choice!
Wow, Tony….that’s……… logistics
Thank you Tony!
Plus, we have multiple intraday –D in SPX and +D in the VIX, blah, blah, blah…
Staying short here may be an exercise in futility considering that today’s close was above 3×3 MA at 1290.06 and that the average is (once again)rising http://screencast.com/t/IxmfY02T ….(plus tomorrow is State of the Union,right?)…but, they didn’t touch my stop yet (thank you)
