Riding This Beast Into The Sunset

Forget about equities – everyone and their mother is trying to sort out this gyrating stop sweeping mess. And yes, they are about to get interesting (see below), but I expect our chart of the month to be gold and not the spoos or the NQ.

Fortunately some of us rats managed to secure a seat on the bus just before it took off. I have to run the numbers as I scaled into a bit over an R between 2012 and 2018. Which gets me to roughly 10R at this point and I’m just getting warmed up. The weekly shows us approaching the 100-week SMA – our first major hurdle. However I’m going to keep my stop below 1272 for now in expectation of an obligatory shake out [...]

Strap On Your Helmets

I don’t know what exactly happened near 2050 but equities somehow hit an invisible about an hour ago. I sense a major disturbance in the force. Please make sure your seat belt and safety bar is securely fastened – we’re about to embark on a wild ride!

Alright, I’m trying to keep up here but things are unfolding quickly. See how we breached yesterday’s highs briefly and then suddenly fell back and that fast. There is a tiny volume hole near 2020 and as you remember it demarks the bear from our current 40 handle shake out zone. Should we actually close the session below it then things could get out of hand here quickly [...]

Not A Game For Adrenaline Junkies

All eyes are on equities right now as a lot of people have been taken by surprise in what should be the early phase of the seasonal Santa Rally. Someone in the comment section pointed out yesterday that it’s not unusual to see a correction in early December and a push higher starting near the 15th, just when a lot of folks are getting ready to leave town (hint – trading bots don’t take X-Mas vacations). And that’s exactly right – in fact I was suggesting on several occasions that we would actually benefit from a pre-Santa buying opportunity. Well, folks – here it is – so let’s take advantage of that when the time is right.

Post FOMC Madness Update

Finally this month’s FOMC madness session is behind us. As usual I won’t bore you by regurgitating any pertinent tidbits of the day – if you’re interested in the noise I’m sure you’ll know where to find it. Let’s look at some charts instead – shall we?

Yesterday I told you guys that such a sharp jump off the lows usually suggests continuation higher. So far that’s exactly the scenario that’s been playing out. If you’ve been taking Scott’s hammer time setup – good job and you may now move your stop to the break/even mark.

Interesting range on the hourly day – we touched [...]
