No Recession Anymore…

Update for exciting Thursday...

Red

P.S.  Please answer NEW POLL... Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The correction is over now...

Yeah right... and I've got some ocean front property for sale in Kansas too!  Once again, the run up into opx week has started off with a bang.  Will it continue until Friday?  Probably not much high, but not much lower either I'm afraid.  This light volume period that we are in now, will allow them to easily gap up over resistance levels by running it up in the pre-market session first just like they did today.

So while there still might be a pullback, I think the 1040 level is off the table now.  Maybe we dip to 1060 for the "B" wave down, but it may not happen until after opx is over.  We could chop sideway until then, and sell off a little bit this week and a little bit more early next week.

However, the big concern is whether or not that week chart continues to roll back up, putting in higher lows on the histogram bars.  That could mean that we aren't going to go down below the 1010 low for awhile.

If so, then we could just sell off next week, and rally the next few weeks after that (and maybe go for the DIA 118.16 print?).  Now I don't know if that's going to happen or not, but the weekly is looking like it wants to roll back up.  So, just keep your eye on that chart, for it would likely put a limit on the downside for now... at least until it turns back down again.

Moving on to tomorrow...

The daily chart is still moving up, but the ADX line is falling now.  It's losing strength... finally!  The negative and positive DI line are converging together now, which means it should be choppy in the market for the next few days.  No major moves up or down should be expected during this criss-cross period.

The 60 minute chart is losing steam too, after putting in a much smaller histogram tower then the previous one.  With the larger amount of open interest on the 107 spy put (289,000), I'd say that we will not go below 107 before this Friday.  And, since the call side has 110,000 contracts at the 110 level, I'd also say we close below that level on Friday too.

Split the difference and you are looking at 108-109 spy level on Friday.  Which really makes more sense if they plan on dropping back a little early next week to maybe 1060 spx... (1040 would be a gift to the bears, and could halt the up move?), before a move up to 112.41 next week.  I'm not ruling out the possibility that we hit 112.41 spy by this Friday, but the odds are decreasing because the daily chart is losing steam.

So, my best guess for tomorrow is a slightly down day (not likely lower then 1080 area) or flat.  But I don't expect too much more on the upside without a "pause" day or slight pullback at this point.

Good Luck to everyone...

And, it's a rounded bottom, with strength.

My overnight charts show the market went too high too fast, pullback for one day seems likely. JPM reports pre-market Thursday. That could be a down trigger, Or Wednesday the report on June retail sales, at 2 pm Eastern on Wednesday, could be bad. INTC earnings lift, may be short lived.

Two more days left until opx is over with. I expect them to hold it around this level until then. But next week, I expect a move down for the “B” wave in this ABC move up to probably the 112.41 spy level.

You can now see in this 15 minute chart that it fell outside the rising wedge and is now backtesting the lower support line.

http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CS

However, I do think we could go down to that gap fill level of 108.03 before Friday. (Not shown on the chart, put it's the 1080 level).

From what I read somewhere about the whole Watergate deal, Nixon was setup. Probably by the Illuminati gangsters, I'd guess. Maybe he was bucking the system and not listening to them anymore?

So, they set him up… and now he goes down in history as a corrupt President. Go figure… it's how the crooks operate I guess.

Any President that bucks the system is either framed, assassinated, or had an attempted assassination. So it's easy to find the good Presidents now… just look for the one's killed.

I'm not implying that all presidents are bad, only that the ones that got assisinated were most likely trying to “do the right thing” and not listen to their advisors that where telling them to do something else.

Of course most of their advisors were probably “bought and paid for”, by TPTB… Illuminati or some other group that secretly ran the world.

I'm sure that there good people inside those bad groups, that are simply trapped now. Obama might be one of them? Who knows? I know he's part of the Illuminati group, as they put him in office. Most all President were “put” in office, and not freely elected. But, maybe he'll turn into a good guy in the end? One can only hope he does.

That also happens to correspond with the 78.6 fib retracement (110.62) from the last high to low. We popped above the 61.8% fib at 108.59, so I would expect SPY to make it to 110.62 give or take a few cents and sell-off. I dont like this price action. Seems as though we are just bouncing around and pulling back a little before heading to 110.62. I'm in some TZA, but keeping a tight stop.

The 15 and 60 minute charts are in negative territory on the histogram bars and probably won't start to roll back up until noon or later.

That means a run up into the close and possibly tomorrow morning too. After the 11am time period is gone, the PPT will push it up in the light volume period.

Red Dragon Leo

Gap fill on this move down is 108.03 spy, and it looks like we will get it today. Just don't be fooled into shorting yet gang, as that 110.67 spy FP will be filled.

It might be later today, or tomorrow, but we are know how this game is played now.

Reply to  jimhobson

Looks like that's it…

We hit 108.17 as a low, and although the opening gap was 108.03, the actually closing on the previous day was 108.25… which could also be considered as “gap fill” on this move down.

Red Dragon Leo
14 years ago

Lots of times I've notice they go down close to gap fill, and bounce back up squeezing out the bears, and getting the retail bulls on thinking the gap is close enough for “gap fill”.

Then, they turn it back down one more time to finally fill the gap to get those retail bulls to bail on there position thinking the rally back failed. So, we still could see the actual gap fill level at 108.03 spy before the afternoon rally.

The time period is also key to watch, as it's not close enough to the 11am-11:30am period, where traders leave for lunch. That suggests there is still enough time to go down to 108.03 but the lunch rally.

At this rate, the 60 minute chart won't bottom and roll back up until closer to the close today. That could cause tomorrow to be an UP day, as it rises back into positive territory. This assume the daily chart doesn't turn down today… and so far, it doesn't look like it's going too.

I've not talked about conspiracy stuff in awhile, but just to let you know… our government has a secret space program like on Stargate SG1. We have humans on Mars in a city under a dried lake bed that has 670,000 living beings in it.

Humans, aliens, future humans, etc… all their together. Our government uses an ancient technology that allows them to “jump” to Mars similar to a transporter machine on Star Trek.

You step in some like a elevator and jump to Mars. They call it a “jump room”. We also have real Stargates on this planet and our government has been using them to communicate with aliens and future humans.

The Roswell crash in 1947 was future humans (52,000 years in the future) that came back to warn us about 2012… which we are now going to survive.

Anthony Allyn called for a 47 point last opx (in June) on a Wednesday. It went up the next day, and he called for a 57 point drop on Friday… opx day!

Of course it went up, as there is NO way in Hell they are going to tank the market and payout all those put holders on the day of option expiration.

Reply to  Kotlasr

The futures aren't moving right now, so I don't know if we get 200 points down or not? Maybe? But first they will likely gap up to squeeze out more bears and hit the FP of 110.67 spy.

After that, they should sell off the rest of the day. While I said earlier this week that I expected Friday to have the spy pinned at 108-109, that is still possible.

I just think it will be closer to 109, then 108… but again, I don't see it below 107 or 110, as I stated previously. Of course next week is another story, but tomorrow is opx… and we rarely move a lot on the last day options expire.
