A place where a skillful caddy always offers cool contemplation when it comes to your "stick" selection
SPXBearish short day. Confirmed bullish thrusting. 1110.02 (fibo .09) is now a part of history. Midpoint submerged below 10 SMA. The 233 SMA (1079.96) was again violated. Also back below the 1.618 fibo (using low) of 1078.87. No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 1165.87). Trending down on the daily 3LB. QE2infinity.
DXYBullish short day. Midpoint above 10 SMA. The 85.11 (fibo .1459) is holding (91.80 is next). Back above the 76.4% retrace. No daily 3LB changes.
VIXBearish short day. Did confirm bearish engulfing. Fear of the truth of how bad it really is. And it's getting worse. Closed back below the 38.2% retrace and below 40. No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 24.91). Still trading well above the monthly 3LB reversal (24.51).
GOLDBullish long day. Still below the 21 SMA. Midpoint below 10 SMA. "Ring ring. Hello? Contracts have settled. Feel free to buy." To hell with fiat! (Gold's rally cry). No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 1220.30).
EURUSDBearish long day. Looks eerily similar to an evening star pattern (hint hint). Midpoint below the 10 SMA. Fibo level of 1.2935 is history. The fibo .1855 at 1.2336 is about to be tested. Following that is 1.1571 (the .236 fibo level). Still below trendline (11/27/09-3/17/10). No daily 3LB changes.
JNKSpinning top day. But didn't close the gap. Now above the 14.6% retrace but still below the 233 SMA. Midpoint below 10 SMA (downtrend). Possible matching high (undefined but is similar to matching low). No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 39.38).
GSBearish long day. Midpoint below the 10 SMA. Still below the 2.058 fibo (using low) of 144.98. Looking to test the 1.618 fibo (using low) of 124.12 (soon and very soon). Run don't walk to the exit (just an opinion). No daily 3LB changes (reversal is 142.32).
XHBInverted hammer day. Tested the 89 SMA and failed. I guess existing homes sales means nothing for the homebuilders. Midpoint still below 10 SMA. New low on daily 3LB with reversal now 17.66.

When GS trades through 90, they get taken private. Just a hunch.
Thanks for the wrap, Ra.
Jeff Saut comments on the oversold condition of the stock market, and makes an argument for going long crude oil:
http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/crude-oil-market-crash-future-currency/5/24/2010/id/28448?page=full
The monthly 3LB reversal has occurred and may be finalized by the end of the week. It still will need confirmation. Wednesday 6/30/10 is the first shot at confirmation. But as long as it trades below the reversal price is a decent indicator of confirmation.
I-Man
I was wondering about that. When GS was back to trading at its IPO price (during 10/08) they were freaking out.
Wonder if they will offer Buffett a "partner" stake when that happens. LOL.
I-Man
That might have been Buffett's idea all along. He is shrewd and not always the "nice old man" he is thought to be.
Hmm, Ra mentioned TRIN several times today, RR after the close that:
"Lowry's Selling Pressure Index is hugely ABOVE their Buying Power Index, which means downside pressure dominates like a ten ton ball hanging over your head."
EWI follows tonight with:
"The market remains oversold, but the really big down moves almost always occur after stocks reach a deep oversold condition."
Someone mentioned jokingly over the weekend that 'they' were making "all the right moves"...I completely agree!, the chorus of this song tells how that all works out, it came to mind right away when I read the comment:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrOeGCJdZe4

EWI has relabeled their Dollar Chart.....
I guess things arent too rosy in the AH?
SPY bid = 107.08
SPY close = 107.71
When the shit goes down...
You better be "DREADY"...
I'm wondering if AT has this labeled as some sort of X wave triangle. That's surely a valid count now....
AT, if you are out there?
If you make this really simple as in AB=CD or XA=BC (I think that's what wavers say) then the S+P cash I think is going to 1031-ish, which is 1.27 fib and also the October lows support level if Fridays low is taken out.
It is going to be time to buy a bounce in crude soon where the same theory applies.

Ben
I'm just getting used to TRIN. I'm trying to see whether TRIN or PC gives a better clue as to where to pressure is hiding.
I-Man @ 6:32
I'll leave it to you bears to decide what happens the rest of this week.
I do think we'll get a very substantial rally during the month of June, and into the first half of July.
interesting day- just like Friday- but like the Twilight Zone- an alternate universe- someone probably already made that observation however-
also- did anyone note that the Texas Ranger's filed BK-
"The Texas Rangers are attempting to complete the sale of the club through a voluntary bankruptcy plan that would fully pay the club's debt to the creditors."
http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/news/story?id=5214583
I wonder how many other teams in the MLB, NBA and NHL will find themselves in BK in the next few years-
a few at least is my guess
My only problem with the 1030 target, which lines up with the january correction downtrend line on the weekly chart, is that imo, if we're going to hit that this soon, then its going to be an all out puker down to the upper 900s... like this week.
I-Man might be falling into the trap again, but that 1030 level seems so obvious to me right now that its ripe for a flushout of shorts at that 1044 low and a rip back to 1130 before really selling off again.
It would both please and surprise me if we got a swift rip down to 980 or so in the very near future... I have that move postponed a few weeks or so.
But the I is open...
Thats the beauty of being a daytrader... you only have to keep this shit in the back of your mind, go home flat everyday, and then come into each new session fresh.
Just knowing where we are in the tape helps determine whether to short or long each day, and if I-Man was runnin the desk, we'd be shorting in this market until further notice.
I-Man
This is what I'm looking at:
"Major" fibos
.09= 1110.02
.1459= 1041.83
.236= 931.93
"Minor" fibos
.1107= 1084.77
.1272= 1064.64
.1618= 1022.44
.2058= 968.77
.2618= 900.46
Ra,
As I see it, the main issue with put/call is you can't actually see if people are trading bullish or bearish spreads. I use it as one tool but always keep that in mind.
I think I've found why 1064-67 level is "important" on the SPX. The Dow/SPX ratio is around 9.3 so Dow 10k is around 1066 on the SPX. QED.
@ Ben, You once said, Prechter is bullish India? I am not so much. I, born in India -
"Corruption in education - time to tame regulators". -www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100525/edit.htm#6.
"Of the 130 deemed universities 44 had abysmal academic and physical infrastructure and are mainly family fiefdoms...".
"The Medical Council of India has also a dubious record for granting approval to medical colleges. The MCI President was arrested recently for accepting a bribe for Rs 2 crore( 20 million rupees)...His family possessed disproportioned assests(compare to his salary) worth Rs 24 crores".
I know for a fact people bribed their way to get seats in some medical schools. My grandfather was treated at a teaching hospital in India, where rich students paid donations to get in.
In northern India, two things people dread - sickness, and any invlovement with the police.
Ben
I think that's why I've been leaning toward the TRIN. The PC is based on CBOE options but the TRIN is based on equities.
@Anon,
please keep in mind that EWI/Prechter think that ALL markets are basically going down hard during what we call Primary Wave 3, when they discuss a bull market they are often looking out decades into the future.
The last time I had this discussion the same sort of headlines were given as examples of why India would not have a bull market, which I find extremely interesting, ....Social Mood and Socionomics at work.
Maybe you could answer a comment I made on here the other day. I have a client that is from India that works in Philly as an energy analyst. He is a Wharton grad, does extremely well for himself, great family etc etc. He told me last week that his friends in India think that he is crazy for working in the states, he is considering moving back home. They are all still in India and according to him doing quite well for themselves.
What do you think about all of that?
"Rising home sales likely to cool despite low rates"- Yahoo Finance
"Rocket surgeons" obviously devised that headline-
without me digging up charts- real rates are probably pretty high- with inflation tracking negative-
so if inflation is -1.0% then real rates are 6%-
but even when rates were 12%- if inflation is kicking along at 12%- real rates = zero
so . . .the question is how low can they go? Pretty damn low- without any rush to cash in on the low rate-
people aren't as stupid as they appear
ahab
Why not a headline with the truth: "Rising home sales likely to cool because government handouts have expired"

Been keeping an eye on the Rangers sale.
This move was designed to get around Monarch Asset Capital.
Now they will have no legal standing in BK court, at least the Rangers and MLB hope so.
The other option was seizing the club via the 'best interests of baseball' clause/rule.
This was a very sticky wicket and had the potential for endless litigation.
We shall see what happens.
Oh and Tom Hicks is a buffoon who is mightily over-leveraged and deserves to be penniless.
On the plus side, Elvis Andrus and Neftali Feliz are keepers.
Go Rangers.

Anyone notice that the bottom callers are out in full force again? The same ones that were calling the bottom all the way down the last time.
@foghorn

Nelson Cruz is a keeper too...
Fantastic comments thus far this eve... I'll get to them all as I settle in with a brewski...

no doubt- that forced the people who were on the fence- but tentatively in the market to buy a home- to buy to take advantage of the government "spiff"-

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/05/the-rangers-announce-the-greenberg-sale-is-going-through.html.php
----------------------------------
*I'm aware that most of the debt at issue is not technically owed by the Rangers -- it's owed by Hicks Sports Group, thereby meaning that the big creditors like Monarch Alternative Captial couldn't really go after the Rangers. But that's kind of beside the point. All along these creditors have been making noises about dragging the team itself into bankruptcy if they weren't paid, and it the suggestion has been strong that they would try to advance legal theories -- however novel -- that would allow them to encumber the team in order to get the money they are owed by Hicks. For MLB and the Rangers to make this filing today, they have to think that such a move is not a threat. This underscores my belief that some sort of side deal between Hicks and the creditors has to have taken place.
-------------------------------------
I was incorrect in my earlier post it is
MONARCH ALTERNATIVE CAPITAL, my bad.
Anyway, the way I understand it is that Monarch bought the debt from the original lenders at .50 cent and was looking for a dollar.
But only 75 mil is secured against the club, the club will pay that and tell 'em to pound sand.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to produce anything worthwhile this week.
It's "over" for the S&P for a long time. Those peaks at 1200+ probably won't be better for a few years. The short term price action is still a bit tough to figure. My hunch is we're forming some sort of larger triangle on the daily. In the short term, ALL of the upward price action has been "corrective" nature, so it's bearish.
Gold looks decent for the next few weeks. I don't see it breaking down. We could see 1300 for the yellow metal in the next few weeks.
DXY and EURO are a bit confusing in the near term...so "no comment." The Euro looks like it's trying to formulate a bottom amid hopeless bearishness, but it has not shown us "meaningful" life just yet....
as I recall John Mauldin's office used to be in Rangers stadium, he got out of there maybe a year and half two years ago if I remember right.
Agree about a sign of things to come re the Rangers and right after Perot sues Cuban over the Mavericks financials too.
Everyone says TX is doing so well, so it makes you wonder.
another headline that makes me laugh-
"Fed Won't Sell Assets Until It Raises Interest Rates"- CNBC

@Ben, regarding your 7:16,
Seems like your client is well-off(upper middle class). If he were to go to India, he should do well for himself( live a life of luxury). I donot know so much for his children's education. Post-secondary education is still the best in western countries(He himself went to Wharton, why not an India University?).
I think India's major problems will be availability of fresh water, security(China and Pakistan as neighbours), overpopulation, corruption and dwindling resources.
United States is still the safe haven. I am long the U.S. Always! I think Royal Bank of Canada's CEO once said that.
Immigrants always yearn to go back but they never do. If they do, they always come back. I live in Canada. I have some family members who went to India, but came back,swearing not move back there again.
My parents have agriculture land and recently bought a house in a city nearby. Oh the bureaucratic nightmare.

FWIW... I'm 100% in the camp (speaking of camping) with your comment...
SPX lower... (who knows HOW lower? that's the million dollar question ATM)...
Gold - I was hinting at that this morning... May options are now concluded... I think it's FREE & CLEAR to trade higher... Not that I'm particularly interested, but I am interested in how the move gets interpreted technically amongst other things...
It's likely that there will be a lot of correlative discrepancies going into portfolio rebalancing thru the end of June...
Buckle up!

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601085&sid=at4wlYUhMvXE
May 25 (Bloomberg) -- Lombard Odier, Geneva’s oldest private bank, has been urging U.S., U.K. and Swiss clients to shun the euro since December. The European Union’s rescue package hasn’t led the bank to change that advice.
The EU’s almost $1 trillion of aid doesn’t change the fact that the euro region “can’t afford its future,” said Paul Marson, Lombard Odier’s chief investment officer. While the bailout offers a “safety net” to French and German banks, it lacks the conditions typically found in an International Monetary Fund rescue to enforce fiscal discipline, he said.
“The recent rescue package was necessary to stabilize the system but doesn’t improve the fundamental outlook,” Marson said in an interview last week. “You need a Paris Club for Club Med to enable them to restructure without contagion.”
Worries about Greek sovereign debt flared late last year when the government more than tripled the estimate of its budget deficit relative to gross domestic product. Those concerns have spread to other so-called Club Med nations in southern Europe such as Portugal and Spain. Started in 1956, the Paris Club is an informal group of rich nations which meets to restructure or cancel the sovereign debts of countries in crisis.
Lombard Odier, which managed 147 billion Swiss francs ($127 billion) of assets at the end of 2009, began shifting sterling, dollar and franc-denominated clients out of euros on concern about euro zone budget deficits, the CIO says.
Weaker Euro
“Effectively governments have entered the monoline insurance business” for Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Greece, Marson says, referring to insurers that guarantee the payment of bond principal and interest when an issuer defaults.
“We’re going to see draconian budget cuts” in Greece, Spain, Ireland and Portugal, which means revenue will fall and ratios of debt to gross domestic product will “rise to unsustainable levels,” he said.

There has been weird price action for this time of night today (the hours between NY closing and Sydney/Tokyo opening).
Nic
Please elaborate.
It is a very illiquid time of day in futures and FX. Sometimes you will see stop hunting in FX or market makers will move price to a more favourable level and then it reverses when Tokyo or Sydney opens. Only NZ is open at this time. All last week NZ continued the moves of the US session or held the levels and then they reversed.
Just tonight some of the moves where big in scale ... and sharp. Look at Silver or Gold or EURJPY.
Does anyone else have a sunday gap in Gold? I am wondering if it closes before we go higher.
It looks suspiciously like someone took advantage of a cheap time to move the market to where they really want to buy ...

Yeah, judging from the futures, it does look like we're going to be getting a bit of a "whoosh" down tomorrow.
@Amen
Katherine? KATHERINE?... K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E... K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E...?
I'm skeptical of EWI's count but they've got us going into a third of a third tomorrow ....

I found this a while ago. The video isn't that great, but the fact that she gets on stage with just her and a piano and makes that much music, with such complicated rhythm, is amazing to me.
Has anyone else run across skippy in any comments? If you do it's worth reading, a few times. It might bring on an acid flashback in the right person.
McF,
Would agree with Anon on the problems in India. Too much disparity, too much poverty, and believe it or not, actually in most places, WATER is FREE. As a result you have wrong regions growing wrong crops. Price matters after all.
Your friend is likely to continue to do well. Lots of very very rich people. Also too much corruption. Some say, that the world's richest guys are Indians, after accounting for Unaccounted Wealth, that is. On top of economic disparities, you load on the religious, casteist etc differences and you have a kinderbox that is always waiting to be lit. Saddens me a lot, but I think, it is beyond repair.
Bull market in stocks is just one thing, which may happen sometime. But then, as we know, S&P at 1226 or whatever hardly means anything to the guy without a job.
And yeah, war with China over WATER is very much possible, though India will get nothing out of China.
Prashant
PS: Forget about diseases, people still die of hunger in India, almost every day. No one talks about that though.
Off late, I am seeing, that I am unable to access this site, or anything on Blogspot, say Dan's. Anyone else facing this problem??

@Ben
I am skeptical re: EWI count as well, however, 1091 was .382 retrace if 1055.9 was the bottom of wave 1. Of course, we hit 1095.09 on the bounce back.
Today is quite simple for me:
If we break 1072 (and it appears we will) we cannot go back.
If we break 1055.9 we cannot go back.
If this is a 3rd of third I am looking for some testing of 1000.
@Ben
I would send that shot in to the bleachers. More importantly, everytime he went through the key what a smack lil' Timmy would get.
Congrats CV, looks like you will inherit money this morning....
Interesting news this morning. quadrupling of fed excise taxes on gas. 5 billion in new taxes in California. Obama asked to give his peace prize back. Krugman asked to give his back ,too!
The North Koreans...the straw on the camel's back?
Prashant,
thanks for the thoughts, probably just Blogger acting up again. We've all had some issues with posting during the day from time to time.
@Bruce,
and don't forget while today may be the North Korean focus, military exercises are being conducted by Israel while Obama boosts troops in the "region"
CV-
