SHORT TERM: rally continues, DOW +92
For the first three days of the week the Asian markets have gained 2.9%, and the European markets have gained 1.2%. The SPX started the week at 2532 and hit 2595 today for a 2.5% gain so far this week. When reviewing the charts of the SPX, DOW, NAZ and NDX we do not see them as choppy as we would have expected for a B wave rally. The SPX, DOW, and NDX look like three waves up, and the NAZ is one wave up thus far. Could be corrective, could be impulsive, too early to tell. With that in mind we did a bit of research.
Whenever the Presidents Working Group (PWG) gets involved in the markets through their Primary Dealers. The market generally rallies 10% to 13% before turning over and heading back down again. One time, 1990, it never did fully return to the recent lows. Was that the outlier? Or is that a possibility this time around too? The three levels to watch going forward actually fit with three OEW pivots. These are highlighted in green on the daily chart. SPX 2575, 2632 and 2656. The first is a 10% rally, which has already been achieved. The second a 12% rally, and the third a 13% rally. We would not expect a PWG B wave to exceed that third level. We are also watching market breadth, and have some parameters there too. Interesting juncture.
Short term support is at the 2575 and 2525 pivots, with resistance at the 2594 and 2632 pivots. Short term momentum displays a negative divergence at today’s high. Best to your trading!
After observing TESLA for a few years we have determined it trades more like a commodity stock (abc’s) than a growth stock, and have dropped it from our charts. In its place we have added a few things. Fed-Ex (pg. 13), Intelsat (pg. 14), and GBTC (pg. 13) the pink sheet Bitcoin ETF. Under commodities on page 8 we have added to Gold and Crude, the CME Bitcoin index and Soybeans. Biotech remains on that page. The Housing index has been moved to page 15 with the housing stats. New Year improvement? Possible.
MEDIUM TERM: downtrend
LONG TERM: downtrend probable

Nice to work with you…let’s see how we can make money on Monday, and if there is anything you would like me to look at, just say and we can compare notes.
Oil is in equilibrium…no defined pattern short or long…and TLT is in a positive pattern, so no TBT unless the numbers change……

Calm before storm? Rolling over? I see zero candlestick patterns on 1 minute to 1 day chart this trading day. Extreme complacency or waiting for next weeks earnings perhaps? My visual chart recognition looks like we can get a small move higher to perhaps 2615 BUT I would be very surprised if it manages any move above that. Last month earnings forecast was dropped. A low bar to hit seems to indicate that by itself will not drive the market either way. Events perhaps? Not many here agree with me on this but as i stated 2 years ago once impeachment is on the horizon more dangerous actions will take place. Emergency funds and government closure is only the beginning. Funny how all this is happening in condensed fashion. he had 2 years to demand these things with a complete GOP sweep. Desperate times, desperate person.
Can the market sustain any long period rally in this environment? You know my answer.

Mnuchin defended lifting Russian sanctions to congress. All trump voters must agree as Pompeo rips Obama defending Trumps policy. Seems we ARE leaving Syria. When will treasonous behavior end? After Mueller report? Doubt it. My real question is are we no longer part of the alliance? when did we switch sides? Sad, so sad. More importantly will the American people accept this change as the Russian people have. in their excuse they never knew democracy. Whats ours?
Living in one of the most darkest period of our democracy and many still don’t understand this. Love the silence from my responses. Not a single person seems to support my wild views on democracy. To do so go against Tony. Destroying our democracy from within. “We don’t know what we missed till it’s gone”.
I suggest most here ignore the Mueller report and it’s conclusion. I already know what it will say. Call me clairvoyant. Let the games begin! next week should be interesting. Will we hit 4 weeks in a row? Will the PPT defend the market at all costs here?

phil, purp…if the low was printed on Christmas Eve, then yesterday’s high may have been the top of 3 of 3 of 1 of unknow degree (minute?). Today’s low may have been 4 of 3 of 1.
If this count is accurate, I see a rally to Tony’s 2632 pivot for 3 of 1. Then a 70 pullback for 4 of 1 a rally to Tony’s 2656 for minute wave 1.
