Here is one sign that is sometimes early – but rarely wrong:
Well, I have a better one – simple but effective 😉
Nice cross-over on my weekly stochastic – the heat is on for the longs. This chart has only failed me once on a long term basis – which was obviously in summer/fall 2009 when nothing could stop a relentless POMO induced melt up.
Let’s see what happens this time. But the odds are slowly starting to shift now. I want to see the Dollar punch higher here as well – in order to bring down equities we need to see several factors combine and produce a downside pull that even Bernanke’s printing machines [...]
Although X-Mas is two months away I’m seeing some interesting candles today – on the DXY that is.
No, not those – but almost as festive. Let’s have a look, shall we? [amprotect=nonmember] Charts and commentary below for anyone donning a secret decoder ring.

What I’m seeing here is a net-line reversal bar, [...]
Alright – let’s rub our few remaining brain cells together for some basic math. Zeno’s motion paradoxes all have to do with dividing time into ever smaller slices. We can realize such a sequence of ever-smaller time intervals by watching a bouncing ball:
The figure above represents a ball dropped from an initial height h0 . When it bounces it loses energy, so that the next bounce height, h1 , is smaller. The model used here is that the fraction of energy lost on each bounce is a constant, independent of energy.
In the figure, the ball is given a small horizontal velocity to the right, so that it bounces further to the right each time. The [...]
Aloe Blacc sums it up nicely – although I think he needs to change those lyrics a little:
I need a stronger dollar, a stronger dollar’s what I need
(hey hey)
Well I need a stronger dollar, a stronger dollar is what I need
(hey hey)
And I said I need a stronger dollar, a stronger dollar is what I need
And if it can’t find a bottom, would you share some yen with me?
…
Let’s not kid ourselves. The whole equities game now clearly boils down to this simple formula:
(Dollar == plunging && midterm_elections) ? bears = getting_screwed : bears = less_screwed;
Well, there you [...]
