Time For A Bear Nap…

But next week should make the Bears’ Day!

Ok gang, it looks like we came close enough to the 107.35 SPY FP from last week to fulfill it.  We hit 107.59 on the opening gap down and rallied hard from that level.  This tells me that the short term bottom is in, and we should rally tomorrow and early next week too.

However, this was simply a “tremor” warning us of the “earthquake” coming in the market very soon.  So far, it’s looking like mid to late next week could be the start of wave 3 down of wave 3 down… meaning I think we completed wave 1 down of wave 3 down today at the morning low.

(I’m having problems with the video showing up, with the embed code?  However it’s working by going to the YouTube page at… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_o-e2eMVE0)

So, next week should have us going up with a wave 2 inside wave 3 down.  While I don’t know when we are going to top out, or if we already have, I do know that the next big move down is going to have a lot more then just 1-2 days of selling.  It’s going to be a very steep decline down.

I believe that it’s going to start next week, but again… that weekly chart could easily push back up and delay the move down until the Legatus meeting.  In other words, I’m not sure yet if we are going down to Dow 8300 into the meeting, or if they trick us all and rally this thing up higher in front of the meeting?

I’ve seen them do it before, so don’t get yourself convinced that the move down is coming for sure next week.  It could be extended another week or two.  Let the charts tell you where we are going.  Right now, I think we are going up tomorrow or flat.

Then well see what next week brings us after tomorrow’s close.  Keep your eye’s open for FP’s as they’ve been very accurate here lately.  I’d like to know the upside target for next week, and they might just be nice and tell us.  If you catch, let know and I’ll posted it.

A Very Bearlishess Day!

The bears got feed well today, but will it continue?

And the answer is… “YES”, it will continue!  Yippee!  It’s great to be a bear right now, so I hope everyone was already positioned well for today’s sell off.  For tomorrow I expect a “pause” day, even ending slightly up… but not much.  After such a big down day, it’s normal to have the next day flat while the market disgusts the news.

But Friday… look out below!  I don’t think any news can cause Friday to be some big rally day.  No trader in his right mind is going to hold over the weekend.  While they can fudge the Initial Claims and Continuing Claims tomorrow, some how I think the CPI and Core CPI data that is released on Friday will be another reason to sell.

Remember, we still have the 107.35 spy FP Anna caught about a week ago and the 107.12 spy FP that I caught about 2 weeks ago.  So you can expect to see at least the 107.35 print before we have a wave 2 (or B) wave back up into next week.

So, will we hit that target in the morning tomorrow?  Or will tomorrow open flat or slightly down and choppy around all day finally closing slightly up or even?  Odds are that the day will close green… how much is another story?  Lot’s of people went short, and they usually will try to squeeze a few of them out before the next leg down.

Now this is just based on the past, and it certain could gap down and go to the 107 area first, and then rally back the rest of the day.  If so, I would suggest everyone close out your shorts and reload when the charts get overbought again.

Just don’t forget that next week is opx week and there should be some rally up early in the week to squeeze out the new shorts in the market.  But, if it gets overbought by mid-week then we could sell off into opx.  If that happens then it would be a wave 3 down, and it could be the start of the move toward Dow 8300?  We could be there by the September 9th-20th date.

In that case, the Legatus meeting would be the bottom, just like the one was on February the 4th-6th… when the bottom hit on the 5th at 1044.50 spx.  You remember that one?  I certainly do!  It’s too early to say for sure that we are going down into the meeting, instead of up… as it’s only been one day down now.

Let’s see how the next 2 days work out, and especially how next week plays out.  I’ll just say that I expect tomorrow to give the bears another chance to reload short.  Just wait for that 60 minute chart to reset itself, and get overbought again.  It might not even put in but a few positive histograms… if any?  It’s looking bad right now, but never under estimate the crookedness of the government to surprise the bears.  Just be on the look out for clues… (aka FP’s)

Good luck tomorrow gang…

One More Day UP…

Is all I see…

Gang, I think tomorrow will go up and hit the 113.02 spy FP that Anna caught at 8-9am Tuesday morning.  I see the same print in the afterhours session again.  This confirms to me that we are going to hit that target tomorrow sometime.  After that, I think we will sell off on Thursday and Friday… possibly hitting that other FP of 107.35 from a week or so back.

But, if we hit that target on Friday, get out of your shorts.  The weekly is still pointing up, and next week is opx week.  Both of those factors mean we will likely have a bullish week into opx Friday.  You know how they like to squeeze the shorts during that period.

However, the week after opx could be the start of something beautiful… if you’re a bear of course :-)  While it could chop sideways a little more and even be pushed out right up until the September 9th start of the Legatus meeting, it could still start to sell off some before it.

The charts will give us clues when we get there, but for tomorrow I expect a move up to 113.02 and then selling on Thursday and Friday.  I’m keeping this post short as I’m tired and today was my birthday too.  I’m 46, look like 36, and feel like 56… LOL

Weekend Update…

Monday update (for Tuesday)…

Nothing really has changed today, so I see no reason to make a new post.  The market is just waiting on the Fed’s meeting at 2:30 pm est tomorrow.  After that, we should see some volatility in the market.  Which way is anyone’s guess at this point.  I’d be afraid to go short with such light volume, and I’d be more afraid to go long because the market is in a topping process right now.

I certainly don’t know how much further we have to go up, but until it shows a clearer picture, staying out of it is much safer.  As you can clearly see, the daily chart is still going up, and so is the weekly.  Until at least the daily starts to roll over, I just can’t see any selling sticking.

Even if you miss the first wave down, getting short on the wave 2 retracement top is a better spot to be at anyway.  So, be patience bears… and let the smoke clear after the Fed meeting.  Sometimes the first move is a fake one.  Not always of course, but a quick move down after the meeting could be bought back up by the dip buyers.  It might be best to wait a little awhile before making a move.

Either way, a big move is coming soon… down or up is still unknown.  I still feel that we will go down to that 107.35 FP sometime this week, but I also think we won’t start a serious sell off until early September.

————————————————————————————————————-

Back to business as usual…

Yes, it seems that some things change and others stay the same.  The market is the one that stays the same, while the overall economy changes from bad to worst.  No matter how bad the unemployment is… it’s just ignored.  There’s just no worry in the market place, as it’s totally disconnected from the real world.  So, the rally will likely continue.

But don’t worry bears, your day will come… and soon.  First however, I think we will head on down to the 107.35 spy FP sometime next week.  Will it be after the Fed meeting on Tuesday?  Who knows?  If the market rallies up into the meeting, then I’d say yes…  but if it falls into the meeting, then we would expect a rally out of it.

While I still don’t know if we are going up to DIA 118.16 into the Legatus pilgrimage in September, or down to the DOW 8300 print… the meeting will be a turning period.  I have to say that I’m bearish next week, as I’m still looking for 107.35 spy to be hit, but after that… I’ll have too re-evaluate.

The weekly chart really should put a few positive histogram bars in, before it rolls over again.  Of course it doesn’t have too, but my feelings are that it will… and that’s mainly because of the timing of the issue.  The pilgrimage is just a month away now, and that’s just enough time to put in a few positive weeks.

Because the market has rolled over on the month chart now, I don’t think they will have the money available to take it back up if they go down to the 8300 dow print first.  Once this market finally starts to head down that low, I don’t think we will see the April high again for quite some time.

I have many down side prints, and even without them… the stimulus money has run out.  Even if they throw more money at the market, it’s not going to have the same effect as it did in March of 2009.  The most we could expect is a wave 2 back up to put in a lower high… not a new bull market.

Plus, look at this from a political point of view.  Hold the market up until September, as that’s only one month away from the November elections.  Lot’s of campaigning will be all over the news, as both sides run ad’s 24/7… which means that a market that is selling off hard won’t get as much air time as it normally would.

The ol’ “look here at my right hand, while I’m robbing you with my left” distraction.  The public won’t pay too much attention as the market sells off.  The media will say it’s just an overdue correction.  Spin, spin, spin…  you know the game by now.

So that you all don’t fall for the bear trap next week, remember the election is right around the corner.  I think most people have us pulling back to the 1090 area, and then rallying higher.  But, I believe the 1070 area will be hit… mainly because they told us it will.  DUH!

Besides that, the 1090 area is too obvious.  It would only allow the bulls a better spot to go long.  Not many bears would go short at that level, as it’s not a major break of the horizontal support line coming in there.  But, if you break that support, then the bears will jump on and the bulls will sell out.

Of course once the 107.35 spy print is hit, I expect it to reverse back up and squeeze the bears out… which should also give it enough fuel to take out the 1130 area and probably the 1150 area too.  Let’s also not forget that we are 2 weeks away from August option expiration.

If you go down next week, get a bunch of bears short, then you know they will rally into the follow opx week… making all the “puts” expire worthless.  Same game, different month.  As much as we’d like to believe that the market isn’t manipulated, anyone reading this blog long enough knows that I’ve given you plenty of proof that it “IS” 100% controlled.

While they still follow what the charts say, whenever they are at the end of an up or down move… they can always stretch it out a little bit longer then you might expect.  That’s how they stay rich… by tricking you out of your hard earned dollars.

Every move is planned out months and years in advance folks.  That’s what the Legatus Pilgrimage’s and Bilderberg meetings are about.  It’s up to us to figure it out of course, but never forget to expect the unexpected… in this case, a hard rally back up, after a sell off to the 1070 area.

That would trick a lot of bulls and bears I do believe.  I’m still 70-80% bears for next week, as I was for this past Friday too.  But after the FP of 107.35 (or 107.12?) is hit, I’ll probably be leaning bullish at that time.  Unless some other clues come up that change my outlook, I’m expecting the 1130 area to be taken out with a run higher to take out the next major resistance at 1150 spx.

How high, I don’t know? But it’s going to be more about the time factor then the actual price level.  I expect the top to be put in right before or during the pilgrimage (which again is… September 9th-20th).  Then I’ll start looking for the move down to DOW 8300 to happen.

Ok, for Monday I see us going up and possibly hitting the 1131 level ahead of the Fed meeting on Tuesday.  But at some point during the week we should see a move down to the 1070 area.  Probably after the meeting, but that’s just guessing.  Either way, a move down like that would give the bears a nice dinner to eat.  Just don’t drop the fish in your mouth when you look at your reflection in the water, thinking there is a bigger fish just below you.

Good luck everyone.
