  • DOW (S&P) Daily 14th Nov 2008 Daily recap

    "Expectation Thursday would have an UP day, but mostly probably move back down on Friday, as it heads down into November's lows.

    At this stage there has been a Weekly low reversal back into the Weekly 50% level:- resistance with the expectation that US markets will continue down.

    Friday:- My view is a down day on Friday and looks like a consolidating between Weekly 50% level (resistance), and blue channel support"

    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern


    US markets continued down on Friday:- Weekly 50% level resistance.

    A lot of volatility between early support on the Yellow channel and the Weekly 50% level....

    And then a late sell-off into the close down into the blue channel.

    Expectation of further weakness down next week.....

  • SPI 14th November 2008 Daily recap

    "Two scenario's on Friday:- above the 5-day 50% level @ 3904 and the market is heading back towards 4050+

    Worse case scenario is today's higher open has closed the gap and there is a gap to yesterday, which results in price being push down from the 5-day 50% level.

    Below 3825 and there won't be any Friday rally, and the SPI will probably be moving down towards next Week's weekly lows(November's lows), which is what I think the market is going to do anyway"


    Premium Report


    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    I would have preferred a rally into 4050 and then continue down next week into November's lows....

    but once price pushed down from the 5-day 50% level @ 3904 to close the gap, and then support couldn't hold (3825), the market lead by financials sold off into the close.

    And will probably end up around 3584 next Week.

  • DOW (S&P) Daily 13th Nov 2008 Recap

    "US markets heading down into the Weekly and Monthly lows.

    So what are the chances of a higher daily close on Thursday?

    Yesterday's view was that if price was below the blue filters it would result in a 5-day range breakout.

    So what happens on a breakout?

    Often price will come back and test the breakout before it continues down once again.

    Therefore my ideal pattern in US markets is to push down on Thursday in the 5-day lows, and then reverse upwards late in the day to close near the 5-day 50% level:- Higher daily close"


    Premium Report




    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

    US markets pushed down early on Thursday hitting the support and reversing back into the breakout from Wednesday.

    There was a 500 point turn around in the Markets, but at this stage this is seen only as a retest of the breakout, which more often can see lower prices once again on Friday.

    That will depend on price trading either side of Friday's 5-day filter, because a breakout of a 5-day range often leads into a 2-day breakout pattern:- retest the break and then continue with the trend the next day.



    In late trading US continued to rally back towards the Weekly 50% level, which is a good sign for the Aussie market to do the same.







    SPI 13th November 2008 Daily recap

    "SPI Trading below Wednesday's lows 3823, and at this stage I think the SPI will remain below those lows

    Resistance:- 3823-30

    Random support 3777.

    Either Thursday ends up rotating and consolidating between those 2 levels (multi 44 point rotations)

    or it breaks 3777 and continues down"


    Premium Report




    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    SPI opens on support @ 3777 moves up 44 points and then breaks and heads down into the Weekly lows.

    The only sad part of today it didn't rise up into 3823-30 to get a decent short for Thursday.

    Market's look weak, and will probably continue down into November's lows.

    But what about a 'short-covering Rally?

    That will depend on US markets having an UP day on Thursday.

    Why would US markets have an UP day on Thursday?

    Look at the DOW 5-day pattern (chart below).

    Yesterday's view was that if price was below the blue filters it would result in a 5-day range breakout.

    So what happens on a breakout?

    Often price will come back and test the breakout before it continues down once again.

    Therefore my ideal pattern in US markets is to push down on Thursday in the 5-day lows, and then reverse upwards late in the day to close near the 5-day 50% level:- Higher daily close

    What I don't want to see is a rally on open into the 5-day 50% level and then a sell off back down into Thursday's lows:- not a good sign.

    If my ideal scenario of an UP day is, this will hopefully see a higher open on Financials, and hopefully a move back towards their 3-day highs tomorrow.

    The 3-day 50% level tomorrow should hopefully be a good idea of a daily trend tomorrow.

    Wishful thinking maybe, but if the SPI is opening above 3825 tomorrow, then there is a good chance that some 'gap' closing is going to occur:- rotation back towards next week's 50% level, and then continue down into next Week's weekly lows, which match the November lows.

    Lower Daily close in the US and won't be a good sign for Financials, and markets will continue down into November's lows.

  • DOW (S&P) Daily 12th Nov 2008 recap

    "The current view of global markets has been the re-test of the November 50% levels and then the 'thrust-rejection' pattern towards the November's lows.

    This is the pattern which is now occurring, along with the break of Monday's support and then continuation down into Tuesday's lows.

    The first two days is normal 2-day pattern:- 50% level towards the 5-day lows.

    Below 8698 and things start to get ugly this week, which will probably lead to a 5-day breakout and the completion of the November lows probably by next week"


    Premium Report



    DOW Monthly and 5-day pattern

    Wednesday has ended up 'ugly':- resulting in a 5-day breakout and continuation down towards November's low.

    By the time the US market day session opened, the market sold off from 8698 and never looked back.

    Note:- I mentioned back on the 11th October that this pattern would play out. I also mentioned that once this pattern has occurred, it will be a major swing point that could finally see a 'larger' counter-trend move upwards.

    A larger counter-trend move upwards will still result in lower lows in 2009, because the market will still go lower next year.


    Therefore it's imperative that these November lows in global markets 'hold' support and we see some buying support in the last week of this month.

    Buying support:- lower Weekly open rising upwards from in the last Week of November, and then pushing higher from the December's 'balance point':- counter-trend move.

    This will result in global markets re-testing the 2008 yearly low breakouts, and then rejecting down towards new 2009 dynamic lows next year.


    Otherwise another Monthly breakout means another dynamic push down in December, which pushes 2009 lows even lower...

  • SPI 12th November 2008 Daily Recap

    "SPI completes the move down into the 5-day lows on Tuesday @ 3904

    Today:- Trend guide on the SPI @ 3874.....

    Whilst above 3874 there is an expectation of Wednesday having an UP day"

    "Expectation that any continuation of the UP trend needs to occur from an R44 low and with short-covering into the close towards 4000-4049"


    Premium Report.



    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern.


    Lower Daily open and expectation that the SPI would have an UP day towards 4000-4049.

    As per US report:- a higher daily open tomorrow will be dependant on how US markets react to the 5-day filters.

    From the mornings' report, US markets have moved up off the lows, and now are trading above the blue filters on Wednesday.

    SPI Spiral patterns

    Today's price action was nice and robust, with R44 range rotations, along with the Spiral filters picking the lows of the market on each lower swing.

    Hopefully there is a much higher open tomorrow, and not a worse case 'sell-off' in US markets.



    DOW S&P Daily 11th Nov 2008 Daily Recap

    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern.

    The current view of global markets has been the re-test of the November 50% levels and then the 'thrust-rejection' pattern towards the November's lows.

    This is the pattern which is now occuring, along with the break of Monday's support and then continuation down into Tuesday's lows.

    The first two days is normal 2-day pattern:- 50% level towards the 5-day lows.

    Now it gets interesting.....

    Wednesday:- above the blue filter and it normally attracts buyers pushing the market back towards Wednesday's highs:- short term counter-trend move.

    Below 8698 and things start to get ugly this week, which will probably lead to a 5-day breakout and the completion of the November lows probably by next week.

  • S&P (e-mini) 10th November 08 recap

    US markets are above their Weekly 50% level:- therefore at this stage price expectation is to continue towards the Weekly highs...

    S&P 5-day pattern:- Below Support and price is following a weaker 5-day pattern based on the November 50% rejection pattern. (Weekly Report)

    Below support and price normally follows the pattern down into the 5-day lows.


    Premium Report




    S&P Weekly and 5-day pattern

    US Markets started the Week above the Weekly 50% level, but once price broke Support it follows the 5-day pattern down.

    This pattern and sell-off on Monday favours my view of the Monthly 50% level Rejection and continuation down into November's lows, as per Weekly Report.



    SPI 10th November 2008 recap

    "As per Weekly report:- This week is either going back towards the Weekly highs, or heading down towards the November lows. Therefore the direction of the market should be clearly defined by using the 5-day levels and 5-day filters.

    Monday:- random resistance 4173

    Random support 4118"


    Premium Report



    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Monday consolidating trading day, with Financial stocks pulling the market down today, but the critical level on any downtrend has held strong @ 4118....

    Whether that holds tomorrow is dependant on US markets on Monday..
