wednesday update

SHORT TERM: market pullback extends, DOW -44

Overnight the Asian markets lost 1.0%. European markets opened lower and lost 2.1%. US index futures were lower overnight, and the market opened one point under yesterday’s SPX 1442 close. Right after the open the market resumed its pullback. At 10:00 New homes sales were reported about unchanged: 373K vs 372K. The decline accelerated after 10:00, and the SPX broke through the OEW 1440 pivot range hitting 1431 by 10:30. Then with an extremely oversold condition the market tried to rally. Around 1:30 the SPX reached 1439, then pulled back into a 1433 close.

For the day the SPX/DOW were -0.45%, and the NDX/NAZ were -0.90%. Bonds gained 14 ticks, Crude slid $1.40, Gold dropped $10, and the USD was higher. Medium term support now drops to the 1386 and 1372 pivots, with resistance at the 1440 and 1499 pivots. Tomorrow, Q2 GDP (est. +1.7%) plus weekly Jobless claims and Durable goods orders at 8:30. Then Pending home sales at 10:00.

The market opened slightly lower today, then continued yesterday afternoon’s selling. Within the first hour of trading the SPX broke through the OEW 1440 pivot range, (SPX 1433-1447), then made a low at SPX 1431. This Intermediate wave iv pullback has now extended to 44 points from the SPX 1475 high. A bit more than expected but still acceptable. Intermediate wave ii had a 54 point pullback. Currently this market is trading in between the recent Minute wave iii and iv range of Minor wave 5 (SPX 1429-1439).

Short term support is at SPX 1422/27 and 1413/16, with resistance at the 1440 pivot and SPX 1463/64. Short term momentum hit extremely oversold today then bounced a bit. A  lower low tomorrow could set up a tradeable positive divergence. The short term OEW charts remains negative from SPX 1456, with the swing point now SPX 1451. Best to your trading!

    Tony, at what downward price for AAPL would we have to reach for you consider wave 5 completed at $705? The negative deivergences (esp MACD) don’t look too promising to me.

    • tommyboys says:

      Sorry to interject… I don’t see anything unusual with the MACD. In fact it looks like it could be putting in a low – or close – right in here somewhere… do not see a ND…fwiw

      • rc1269 says:

        Tommy, I’m looking at AAPL with MACD and see ND similar to what we saw during the March-April high timeframe. This time around, MACD peaked around 8/29 or so, with price at about $680. When price moved to the recent $705 high, MACD peaked at a lower high than before. Add in a signal crossover this time and it looks like deceleration. Daily RSI exhibits a similar divergence as well. RSI 95 on 8/20, then a lower high RSI of 80 at recent price highs.

      • tommyboys says:

        RC.. I see that but I think that’s a ST signal and the reason for the recent sell off which could have completed this morning… time will tell.

    • tony caldaro says:

      AAPL does not look too good medium term at these levels.
      Getting close to a downtrend confirm.
      GOOG appears to be gaining favoritism.

    Good Morning,
    It looked to me it needed more dowside. But iI am ready to switch to green light. The correction could be over. We should get the buy signal very soon.

    Time for another failure, like in May?

  9. M1 says:

    I agree, Tony. RSI is suggesting the market should resume the rally tomorrow. Lets see how traders/bots play this out.
    In my opinion, it still needs more downside.

  10. Tony Why would lower low be positive dirv? You would want it above 1422 correct?
