Weekend Update…

MONDAY Video Update...

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

Bullish or Bearish?

While the jury is still in determining the market direction from here, I'm leaning bearish at this point.  However, I do see Monday as an UP day, but after that I think the overall week will be down.  For the upside, I don't have anymore short term prints except the 111.28 spy print that I posted Friday.

Since that was an intraday print, it should be hit within 1-2 days... meaning Monday, (since it failed to hit there on Friday).  That would also be right at the falling channel's upper trendline (shown on the 60 minute chart).  I don't have any other upside prints except the longer term print of DIA 118.16 (about 11,800 Dow), which is a long ways away right now.

But on the downside, I have a short term print of 107.12 spy from a week ago, and Anna caught it again on the intraday chart on Thursday, further confirming the accuracy of the print.  The level she seen was 107.35 spy, so I'm pretty sure we will see that level next week some time.

On a longer term, I have the Dow 8300 print from several weeks back.  So when will that play out?  If that weekly chart rolls over next week (which could happen if we close down around the 107 level next week), then we could hit that low within a few weeks.

I don't for sure yet, as until the weekly chart rolls over (the daily too of course, and I expect that to happen early next week on it), it's still possible for the market to go up more.  But, I'm 70-80% bearish for next week, and I do expect that 107 FP area to be hit before next Friday.

At that point, I'd need to look at the charts again to see what the weekly chart does.  Again, if it rolls over, the market is toast!  That 8300 Dow will be upon us before the end of August.  And, there's enough important data coming out next week that could easily cause the sell off to happen.

On Tuesday we have Personal Income and Personal Spending, which will move the market one way or the other.  On Thursday we have Continuing Claims and Initial Claims out, and finally Friday has the Unemployment Rate, Hourly Earnings, and Consumer Credit... all are "market movers"!

There are plenty of reasons to blame the sell off on next week, as I really can't see all of those reports being positive and causing another move up in the market.  This leads me more and more bearish, as I just don't think the weekly chart has enough juice left for a breakout move to the upside.  Especially now that the daily has ran out of steam too.

So from a technical point of view, the weekly and daily charts are running on empty for power now.  I'd say they've used up 90% of their juice, and could roll over at any time now.  The monthly is still bearish, and only took a "pause" period last month, which still didn't do any damage to the overall trend down.

And of course from a "news point of view", next week could scare a lot of bulls from staying long.  We all know that the market is manipulated and 100% controlled (you should know that, if you are a regular reader), which means they could make all the reports look positive, by getting out their erasers and changing the data.

But, they also follow technical patterns too... especially on the larger time frame charts, as they are just too hard to manipulate.  The intraday moves don't take as much money to control, as turning around the Titanic would (meaning the monthly charts' down trend)!

Ok, so Monday I'm looking to go up to that 111.28 print by the close.  Then I'm looking for the 60 minute chart too have peaked out, and the daily to get even closed to have a bearish cross on the MACD lines.  Since Tuesday starts out the week with the first of many reports that can move the market, I'd expect that to be the start of move down toward our 107 area FP.

The market moves fast on the way down, so who knows how fast it could hit that target low?  Bad news on Tuesday could cause us to hit that level before the Thursday news, because traders will be selling in fear that the job's data will be horrible.  The old "buy the rumor, sell the fact", or in this case... "sell the rumor, MAYBE? buy the fact".

That's my crystal ball reading for next week...

Thanks Red, excellent summary as usual! You know that Gerald Celente predicted a terrorist event this summer of 2010, which may be the catalyst to trigger such a large crash in DOW? Perhaps next week we get a shocking wiki leaks video to set up retaliatory response from the middle east, or maybe a major bank goes bust or just more bad news from the gulf? I do not know, but any intelligent financial economist will tell you this is a depression, and it’s not if, but when the next crash occurs. One must remain vigilant and prepared in these times, so I thank you for your blog site. Best regards and have a great weekend!

Red, Nice video as usual.
Here's an extreme sports outlook? Weird phenomenons?
When I look at your SPY weekly, I see a potential rounded bottom, with a top at 1200. Thus the term ” extreme sports!”
on that note,
I don't have anything substantial to support this outcome.

Hi Red, I found you a good reference point to short bank stocks.
RKH's 200 day is 80. In the current environment, Spain, Europe, weak US data, deflation in gold…I'd short RKH at 80. stop is 1.2% or 81. Simple enough stop.

SKF, seems to be putting in a sustainable base at 19.5, and wants to go to 21.5, it's 50 day.
I'd be short banks, SKF at 19.5
The most upside for RKH, that I can see, is 80.95 for next week.

Are you psychic? because I just finished looking at WFC, in depth.
If I use our dear Red's method of counting waves…

I get.. wave 4 bottoms at 25.6 – 26.2, then goes higher to 29.4. This week.
Overnight charts sort of confirm this, and GS's paid partners in crime, WSJ and CBS MW, moved WFC target price higher to an average of $34. That's 10 freaking, percents higher. It's also the 200 day regression top line.
I wouldn't say short WFC at 29.4, but I'm going to. small position.
JPM, I'll look later.

Red Dragon Leo

This looks like a trend day to me now. I think we could go up to the 1131 spx level to put in a double top. The daily chart has turned back up (not that it was ever turning down, but simply looking weak). So, this rally could last into tomorrow too.

Reply to  Red Dragon Leo

Be careful about assuming a double top. An inverse H&S seems just as valid a pattern (more so, considering the action), and 1131 is only an intraday high that reversed after it printed. Any close above 1120 will represent a significant closing high, IMO.

Why be anything, I ask? Sure looks like buy-the-dips is the better strategy right now. When the markets start to break down again, or at least show some negative momentum, then might be the time to *start* shorts. I'm not a professional nor a home-gamer with decades of experience, but I saw enough in 2009 to avoid shorting just because volume seemed thin, or I didn't like the policies or econ reports of the moment, etc.

I've seen a few traders who seem to know consistently what they're doing (I'm not yet one of them), and part of success is understanding when the thesis is wrong and needs to be discarded, bullish and bearish alike.

DIA potential 108 this week, and then I'm going ALL SHORT, on overnights

Gap up over the channel line. Do you think that markets have to “make sense?”, think about the Tech bubble of 1999. Commercial propoerty is hosed, but that doesn't mean the stocks can't run for the sky. However, one temperment to this bullishness….this could be a bronto throw off…what i mean is a silly stop catching rally up, followed by the big down. Arch Crawford has today as a big turn day, assumed to be down, and that barberous relic of Astro astronomy has been getting mainstream media coverage. The point is? Could be that he is getting gamed just like EWI gets gamed.

The Euro pegged off a long lasting PRS 133 channel line. This is a very strong signal, however, it looks like it is consolidating, possibly for another run at the line. That would be bullish for equities assuming the correlation holds.

Hi Red,
My rounded bottom theory on the SP weekly, 1200 target, is gaining traction, I hate to say.
DIA took out the June highs, see if it can take out the MAY highs , 109 or so. Then, I have to really consider the APRIL highs, that's scary for bears.

It's looking bad for the bears right now. I do believe that FP of 107.12 (or Anna's 107.35) spy will play out… but when is the question? Will it be this week on the jobs data? Maybe? Maybe not?

WALL STREET computers catastrophically crash due to Solar Storm! Please be advised your regular CNBS pumping 12k Monkeys will return to their broadcast as soon as technical difficulties are resolved. Stay tuned for Wall Street, staring Michael Douglas. This may be our only hope for a crash! Lol
Anyways, watch the skys tonight:
http://spaceweather.com/
AURORA WATCH: High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras tonight. One and possibly two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are heading toward Earth, propelled by the solar eruptions of August 1st (see below). NOAA forecasters estimate a 10% chance of major geomagnetic storms and a 45% chance of at least some geomagnetic activity when the clouds arrive on August 3rd and 4th.
COMPLEX ERUPTION ON THE SUN: On August 1st, the entire Earth-facing side of the sun erupted in a tumult of activity. There was a C3-class solar flare, a solar tsunami, multiple filaments of magnetism lifting off the stellar surface, large-scale shaking of the solar corona, radio bursts, a coronal mass ejection and more. Click on the image to view just a fraction of the action:

The movie recorded by extreme UV cameras onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows an enormous magnetic filament breaking away from the sun. Some of the breakaway material is now en route to Earth in the form of a coronal mass ejection (CME).
Seeing the sun erupt on such a global scale has galvanized the international community of solar physicists. Researchers are still sorting out the complex sequence of events and trying to understand why they all happened at once. Stay tuned for more movies and analyses in the days ahead.

Beautiful impulsive move down this morning. 60 min MACD rolling over and historograms about to go negative. Let's see if they can jam it up from this formation. Today is 99 calendar days from April 26 high and 33 calendar days from July 1 low. (66days down to July low). Its also 69 trading days from April 26.
Euro looks topped here. Rallied back to the ledge from where it collapsed in May (ala stock market fractal from Sept 2008 to April 2010). Dow stocks have rallied hard with the euro (ie oil/materials companies plus megaconglomerates who get a heavy chunk of earnings overseas.) Once the euro reverses, it will pull all those companies back down with it.

It tells me that the +DI line doesn't have anymore strength behind it, while the -DI line is rising on weak strength… meaning that once the ADX line gains in strength, the -DI line is going to rocket higher.

That all should happen once the daily chart starts to roll over. I give it 1-2 more days at most, and then the daily should roll over. That doesn't mean we can't get an exhaustion push higher (to 1131 or so), before falling back down to earth.
