SHORT TERM: consolidation day, DOW -7
Overnight the Asian markets lost 0.1%. Europe opened lower but gained 0.5%. US index futures were relatively flat overnight, and at 8:30 Housing started were reported higher: 894K vs 872K, but Building permits were lower: 866K vs 894K. The market opened lower at SPX 1384 and pulled back to 1381 in the first few minutes. The SPX had closed at 1387 yesterday. After the pullback the market rose to a new rally high at SPX 1390 by noon. Then right after that high FED chairman Bernanke’s speech was released: http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/bernanke20121120a.htm, and the FED released: http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/bcreg/20121120a.htm. The market continued to pullback, and by 1:30 hit SPX 1377. Then it reversed and rallied to SPX 1388 by the close.
For the day the SPX/DOW were mixed, and the NDX/NAZ were mixed. Bonds lost 12 ticks, Crude dropped $2.20, Gold slipped $4, and the USD was slightly lower. Medium term support remains at the 1386 and 1372 pivots, with resistance at the 1440 and 1499 pivots. Tomorrow: weekly Jobless claims at 8:30, then Consumer sentiment and Leading indicators at 10:00.
The market opened slightly lower today, had its first five point pullback since SPX 1351, then rose to a new rally high at 1390. At the high the market was quite-extremely overbought, and then it had its first significant pullback from SPX 1351. The rally from friday’s SPX 1343 low has thus far unfolded impulsively: 1361-1351-1390-1377(?). If the market hits SPX 1390 again, or higher, we will have had five waves up from the low.
Short term support remains at the 1386 and 1372 pivots, with resistance at SPX 1396/98 and 1402/03. Short term momentum dropped to neutral after hitting extremely overbought, then ended the day rising. The short term OEW charts remain positive with the swing point now around 1379. Best to your trading!
MEDIUM TERM: downtrend may have bottomed
LONG TERM: bull market
Tony this is looking awfully good, one in here coined 1405, nice !
Nikkei going strong alleviating my bear flag fears, by a lot. Are we safe until a 10 000 test on Nikkei ?
probably higher
Thanks Tony !
that was funny, especially the end
guess =)
one of the best ones !
That one acts like my kitten when the dog comes running in the house
Tony, I guess we are the only two who think it is funny..
We are going to SPX 1400 and then who knows, depend on many things.
1409-1410 top of channel would be nice – not sure what we’re waiting for..maybe the Greeks need more arm-twisting
CB.
Let’s just send them a Thanksgiving dinner.
Happy T-Day all!
Yeah Tony. That sounds good…I do know how to cook turkey though…so maybe I could send them some Groupons instead.. Thanks a bunch Tony and everyone!. Have a great Holiday all!
p.s. Mr Vix broke down.. http://screencast.com/t/xRYHOlNjGBd
lol..I don’t know how to cook turkey, that is…still studying the subject though..
Lee has your system generated a sell signal Yet?
V
What system ?
Hehe, just CATCHing up on old times!
hahaha
whats happening fellers ?
I3 has a winner winner chicken dinner going in ZC I see
Lee! It is like watching the paint dry…Will go flat before it closes..ES has the same setup as ZC, but ES is so messed up and it is going the wrong way..
Tis the season !
There’s always CL . hahaha
ES gave it up last night but now its in the algo tractor beam
stops above stops below which way will it go only Amos knows
talking about amos, whatever happened to the one and catch the move?
let’s go ZC!
Catch was ur buddy so Im sorry to hear u guys lost touch..
Amos replaced Rick Springfield on General Hospital last I heard
Lee, I leave the CL to you. I noticed I got grey hair, and I don’t want anymore.
I like CTM’s confidence. He was always never in doubt. Talking about Rick Springfield, I know a person looks just like him!
Lee quick question for you
When you call out S/R for ES which set are you using – Camarilla’s – Woodie’s or Person’s?
Just curious
Thanks
pbnj
hey pbnj
Ive heard of Woodies CCI and pivots but I don’t know the other 2.
So none of the above
I’m not saying they don’t have value I just don’t use those.
sorry !
Ur talking pivots my bad.. I use standard floor pivots with a lil modification.
todays were
PP 1382.50
S1 1377.50
R1 1391.00
Got it – thank you
Good morning Tony
If this is an impulsive wave structure up to new highs and we have 5 waves up to “potentially” have completed i up – then would it not be that ii’s in impulsive wave up would be shallow and not allow those waiting for steeper pull backs in order to get in?
Thank you
Cheers
PB,
Yes five up.
The pullback would be the setup … correct
Tony,
So you expect the pullback end around 1372 then?
If the rally fades here
Maybe I am looking at it wrong – seems to me we only have 4 waves so far .. ??? http://screencast.com/t/ZxP6hzmD1j
meant 4 waves up
Went short again in anticipation of retesting the lows. Happy Thanksgiving Tony and all!
ref CAF – the Shanghai Index, is now Bullish, for Short term trend, and trade….Bud
Hi tony,
It was way back in September that i posted my view on s&P, back then i was expecting s&p to top around 1455 levels and fall, But it went a bit more than that, but outcome was the same. Now after the fall, this is what i expect for next few days http://niftyewa.in/pre/?p=372.
regards
vikram
thanks Vikram
Hi Tony, 5 waves up!
yes indeed KO
Does that mean we are in a 2 now?
MAKs too early to tell
Thx Tony
double zz should be finished in a chanel….it isnt the way to count a dzz
Tony,
Shanghai might have put in the ’5′ today?
What price action would you need to now see to confirm the ’5′ is in?
(when shanghai dipped below 2000 during today I noted on Bloomberg some came out saying it was broken and now heading to 1700 then 1500 where they would buy)
Cheers
Paul
Paul,
Only if it was a 5th wave failure.
Normally would expect one more push down.
Short ZC @ 742.5. 747.5 stop OCO 725 limit.
There is nothing more exhilarating than being shot at and missed!
Lower stop to breakeven..
Flat @ 739.5. I guess 23.6% is all I can get with my time running out.
Canada looking weak. Venture in particular but the TSX also failed recently near key resistance. Not necessarily good for the commodity/reflation trade.

Could it be double bottom testing after the decline ?
oye vey, I totally disagree. When the market gets as overbought as spx did (UTL 25) it is rare for the market not to make a lower low after a bounce. The same as very overbought condition as TLT (ULT 77). TLT has a gap to close in the low 123′s and it is well on its way. Expect the gap fill to coincide with a top in SPX before a lower low is made. How low? Don’t know…maybe 1320′s but it will be enough of a pullback from the 1390-1410 area that I will be happy to step aside.
Seeing the possibility of a rise in a stepwise fashion with large retrace and nearly flat consolidations of gains, RSI and other indicators means very little and however overbought it may be it still rises. Of course these lifts are scary to participate in and thats why they have legs. I bought into several individual stocks that were dirt cheap a couple of months ago, and now no-one cares to even discuss them, thats a sign of heavy gains coming.
Ok Anybody crazy enough to buy into them, I give them to you in increasing order of risk, DNDN, PSDV, ARWR, CYCC, URRE, FREE, NEWL.
Thanks, Tony.
I am still 150% short, but I agree with you. The downtrend may have bottomed. New all time highs may be next. (Dow over 20,000).
Placed stops today and I may go 150% long tomorrow.
