12pm update - 157pts down, 129pts up

Since the failed break of Mon' Oct'6 - sp'1977, the sp' fell 157pts across 8 days, and has rebounded 129pts across 6 days. There is again increasing chatter of November 'problems' from people of quite different perspectives.

Summary

*for those who like their analogies, it should be remembered that we saw a powerful green candle in late June 2011, before the market got stuck again.. putting in a critical lower high. Right now, I really want to see no higher than 1970.
--

Today is day'5 UP, on any basis, I'm looking for 9 days, perhaps 14. Certainly, though, regardless of any minor weakness in the remainder of this week, there looks to be HIGH probability of sp'1960s.

--
Next Wednesday's FOMC will surely announce the conclusion of QE3, which (surprisingly) didn't turn out to be so infinite after all.

11am update - minor down wave due

Having climbed from sp'1820 to 1947 across six trading days, the market is looking a little tired. A minor retrace, back to 1910/05 looks viable, before another push to 1950/60s next week. Metals and Oil are both moderately weak, -0.5%

Summary

re: down cycle. Its just a 'moderate possibility'. On any basis, the hourly cycles are over stretched.. and its a rather obvious gap to fill.
--

Notable strength: CHK +3.7%

11.21am.. its getting tiresome... sp'1948...a mere 1.1% away from 1970.. which for me, is where the bigger bearish outlook should get dropped.

Notable weakness, Silver -2.2%.. who needs silver in the new world econmy, eh?

10am update - minor opening gains

Equities break new cycle highs, sp +4pts @ 1945. VIX remains very subdued, slipping fractionally lower into the 15s. Metals are weak, Gold -$5, with Silver -1.7%.. that is not helping the miners, GDX -1.7%.

GDX, daily


Summary

Daily MACD (blue bar histogram) cycle on the indexes are turning positive, and there is a viable 3-5 days more to the upside.. which will take us into the next FOMC.. when QE3 is set to be concluded.

So... sp'1950/60s look due...the only issue is do we get stuck there.

Monthly cycles are still suggestive of broader weakness...

Video from Mr H.



The Cramer has indeed made for some truly bizarre viewing lately. A mere week ago he was effectively a doomer bear, but now.. its a 'everything is fine' mentality.

*Kyle Bass... once one of the uber bears, coming up on clown finance TV.. ch'1 (CNBC) Bass used to have a huge following, but then he went long US real estate... many bears still not forgiven him for that sin, lol
