When the market looks so bearish you almost don’t want to short it because you know a squeeze is just about ready to happen. It feels like they are letting the bears pile on short here and will trick us all and rally right after Yellen speaks today. Going down into the meeting knowing that FOMC days are in many cases (not always of course) “turn dates” you almost have to think they will do the opposite of what we all expect and rally back up to new highs?
Nothing to do here but wait until 2pm to hear Yellen yell… LOL The best I could see is a move up to around where we opened today, which assumes the opening gap up was some kind of smaller A wave and the move down currently is the smaller B wave. So a smaller C wave up (should be weak) into the meeting is possible.
That whole ABC move would then make some kind of wave 2 up with the entire move down from the July 29th high making up some kind of wave 1 down (which had 5 smaller waves inside it). These 2 waves are inside a larger C wave down I believe and this C wave should have 5 waves inside it.
So far I think we’ve see the wave 1 down and we’re now seeing the wave 2 up. If all goes well, we should see the wave 3 down after Yellen and/or all day Thursday. It’s tricky right now though as I don’t want to take a short until this meeting is over with. Actually I might take it just in front of the meeting…. but we need a bigger bounce I think. Might not get one from the looks of things now.
A certain little indicator continues to head south. One by one, prominent stocks are being taken out to the woodshed. Today UPS was bludgeoned, plunging beneath its lower, downtrending BB. Fellow Transport stalwart, FDX is in a similar position hugging its lower downtrending BB. ROLL, a maker of ball bearings, had a sizeable down day on no news.
I was going to do a movie review but maybe let’s wait to see what news the Fed delivers tomorrow. Very disappointed in the recent LeCarre flick both in its aesthetics and occultic implications. Very little in terms of denouement but if it was true to its source material, denouement was very boring and underwhelming in the original novel. My initial instincts to avoid LeCarre’s post Cold War material was spot on and only Obozo-ites could think that the plot line was earth-shattering and that the ending was even remotely interesting or original. Probably the reason why critics have been given it a high rating. It gets a 7.7 over at IMBD, a number which never wavers so maybe there is some occultic implications there.
Our Kind of Traitor is probably LeCarre’s best post Cold War work but even that took awhile to get going while he focused on the boring modern day do-gooder protagonists who really weren’t that interesting.
Well I had to take a peek and see how we closed and I see it was a good one.- Unless the FED news tomorrow runs this up back to new highs by Friday at the latest..then I’m 99% sure we’ve seen the highs on all the key indexes for at least a month or so. Say Dow 17,100 and SPX 1990.One more run back up SPX 1881 ain’t gonna cut it now.- This has got nuthin to do with all that P3 shit talk and bulls vs bears crap..this is just about developing a real trading range for a while in the upper 5 to 7% to range. Very normal in bull markets.So lets see what happens after the FED shit tmrw and hopefully they open this up a bit. Hell..even if it’s just down to SPX 1920,it works for me…although if we go down there..I think we go south of SPX 1900 for a bit. How about a range from SPX 1850 to 1990 into Oct ? As I’ve said for 2 weeks..SPX 1970 is my line in the sand, WE close at 1969…so It will be rel interesting to see where we have closed at 24 hours from now. Of course I’m hoping it’s lower. We shall see. Hasta manana.
Tough to get a read on the market right now. Wave count isn’t obvious anymore. I still think we are either already in a larger C wave down or will start one tomorrow after Yellen speaks. Meaning that there’s still a chance they could go up tomorrow higher then today and complete the larger B wave up.
That would set up a lower high then the current high last week but higher then today. Somewhere between 1984 and 1991 SPX would be the target. That’s only if they do the usually and close the FOMC day green like they have done so many times in the past.
That’s a pretty nice rally into the close tomorrow and while it seems unlikely to happen I could see it as “possible” in the charts. Honestly though it really looks done to me and we should continue down more tomorrow. But you know how they like to manipulate the charts and trick the bears, so I’m just throwing that out there as a “possible” but unlikely scenario.
What should happen is that we open in the morning (probably down) and rally to that falling trendline on the SPY around 198.20 right now. That would be around 1982 SPX area I guess. A lower high then today’s high, which would setup a big move down on Thursday.
I don’t trust SkyNet on second. This looks too easy right now and they never let us bears in. I suspect we’ll open down tomorrow to lure in the last bear. Then rip all day into the FOMC meeting to hit that falling trendline. If that happens I’d look to get short. If not then I just missed this move down.
So far we’ve yet to get that smaller C wave up. Obummer is talking soon about sanctions on the Russians again. My best guess is that things will calm down afterhours and we’ll rally up tomorrow morning to that upper falling trendline on that triangle.
It should have fallen to around 198.20 SPY by then. If we have a gap open and hit that level I’ll be shorting it in a 198/194 put spread expiring next Friday. Meaning I’ll buy the 198 and sell the 194.
They don’t usually let the bears in short this easily. There should be another move up tomorrow morning. Of course I could be wrong and this time they just tank it? If so, I’ll just sit this move out as I’m not chasing it and getting another bad entry like I did on the long previously.
Here’s the wave count that I’m seeing now. I’m waiting until the close today as that’s when I think we’ll see our best shorting opportunity: http://screencast.com/t/dklEbSSXXC
With that said…

Probably down first though… then up.
I’m thinking you’re right it should pop up tomorrow morning

looks good. I’m thinking of exiting by Thursday
