Blue Chip Bulldog: Chart Watch for Friday

  • moo · 1 month ago
    To gauge the possible movement today I'm using the range since the news announcement this morning.
    A 50% retracement of that range is about /ES 1061 and we are trading near that level now.
    Taking a trade here is not a good idea. We may test the high at 1069 again or test the low at 1053.47.

    What does this mean to me? Emphatically do nothing and continue to sit on hands.

    I will be strongly bearish if we take out /ES 1050
    I will be strongly bullish if we take out /ES 1071

    If something did make me take a position, I would size it appropriately and consider the range extremes of the day.

    That roof seems to get higher over the last few months.
  • mSquare · 1 month ago
    Nice chart. I had never ever heard of a 'Roof-top' pattern but this sure looks like one.

    Is this your phrase to describe it or one commonly used by other TAs?
  • moo · 1 month ago
    I'm still under the weather with this relapse folks and will be somewhat muted in the commentary today.

    I will wait for the first 1/2 hour to see if this market will show its hand. Right now, pre market is not happy with the jobs number, but I can't help but think the FED's unchanged policy will trump any past tense gov't labor reports. But this must be weighted against a confluence of technical factors that Brinkley's charts above nicely illustrate.

    Watch the the price movements of the riskiest assets today like a hawk and of course the USD$.
    Watch any activity price/volume in out of the money options not supported by a news events on the indexes.
    Trading within the range of /ES 1025 - 1100 is a big gamble here imo, and scalps will continue to be the game I play.

    It's never easy.
  • Tazman · 1 month ago
    They are defending 1055 range strong....I agree Moo....if we can't take out 1052....I will exit my short position.

    But...if 1052 is broke...your 1045 might play.
  • Chuckles · 1 month ago
    I'm glad TZA worked out for you.
  • Facesincabs · 1 month ago
    hope you feel better after the weekend, Moo!
  • Chuckles · 1 month ago
    hey moo,
    Sorry this thing is still working you over, hopefully you'll be back to snuff come Monday.
  • Leisa · 1 month ago
    Moo, I hope that you feel better soon. Lots of malaise in all sorts of manifestations going around. I'm just recovering from one.
  • chaunceyherbie · 1 month ago
    moo, take care of yourself...hope the rest will get you back on the road to recovery....easy does it.
  • MarioChalmers · 1 month ago

    Is this at all valid? I'm a total newbie so take it with a grain of salt.

  • Brinkley · 1 month ago
    Went long SINA for a move into earnings next week. Nice overhead gap that looks like it may fill. Not a particularly large position, stop fairly tight.
  • zstock · 1 month ago
    GOLD ( the stock) reports next Tuesday--that'll tank--I'd short now! $80 is the highest it can possibly get to--even if it beats st by 20%
  • Brinkley · 1 month ago
    Many leading stocks are making new highs on the session. I still have MA from yesterday (and other positions listed earlier) and have been in BIDU today. Precious metals are holding up beautifully so far. We're coming up on the trendline again for another challenge. $SPX 1072 is the number to beat.
  • chaunceyherbie · 1 month ago
    Brinkley, just a heads up. I am showing $1075.80, plus or minus 0.0015% (1074.19 - 1077.41) as a potential support/resistance level on the 30 min PnF. Of late, the potential support/resistance levels have been more telling to me than trend lines. fwiw. Good luck.
    Note:
    20SMA is at 1070.68
    50SMA is at 1054.86
    Camarilla short is 1071.95
    Camarilla break out long is 1077.27
    R1 is 1073.09
    Pivot is 1060.19
  • SnPMonster · 1 month ago
    The Transports are mostly rallying as well
  • Brinkley · 1 month ago
    Hi there-- I saw your question earlier this morning but haven't had time to properly address. I'll try to reply later today or over the weekend. Yes, transports have hung in there and many are acting very well.
  • greekgoodies · 1 month ago
    Can you see buying BNI for long term 9-12 months brinkley?
  • Rosabarba · 1 month ago
    There is no long term for BNI. When the deal with Berkshire closes, BNI shares become cash and Berkshire B shares.
  • greekgoodies · 1 month ago
    OK ...forgot......in that case when BRKB splits would it be a buy for
    longer term rosa? I think so since it would be like a mutual fund
    anyway.
  • Rosabarba · 1 month ago
    It would, and I suppose there would be worse companies to own, though I have no opinion either way.

    The biggest concern if you're in it long term would be the degree to which there is a Buffett Premium built into the share price that disappears when he does.
  • Tazman · 1 month ago
    BINGO
  • greekgoodies · 1 month ago
    Good point ........especially the last few words.
  • SnPMonster · 1 month ago
    Hello...lol. Its ok, I am trying to understand what do you regard as the leaders....?

    I mean if transports and tech leads...usually will be followed by which sector to rally...I also notice financials are lagging...
  • InthePink · 1 month ago
    Morning guys,Posted these last night on the 'ol blog, but here are the probabilities for Friday’s ES pivots:
    (with 25.45% volatility)

    1088.00 = 8.26%
    1073.50 = 47.49%
    1068.50 = 72.00%
    1059.00 = 74.87%
    1054.00 = 49.74%
    1044.50 = 17.22%
    1030.00 = 1.52%
    1049.00 = 29.87% (prior pp)
  • moo · 1 month ago
    I'm now leaning bearish to neutral for the remainder of the day folks....neutral meaning "chop".

    $ADVN-$DECN is weakening with $TICK now below zero, so internals are not supportive at this point.

    miners are weakening as well from their great morning.

    Overall a tough read, but right now given we touched Brinkleys /ES 1070 the market has activated the sellers, the question : is there any momentum behind the sell?

    Maybe.
  • springheel_jack · 1 month ago
    Looking at the charts last night, the big move up today has left both bullish and bearish readings for the tape open. On the bullish side, we have just made higher lows on Dow, SPX and Nasdaq (closing basis) and here is a cycle pivot chart from Joe8888 that I have redone and updated. It is not encouraging for bears if this cycle still holds, as we would appear to have just made a significant pivot low:

    http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...

    Another bullish chart is the Dow, which has bounced cleanly off the lower trendlines and is now rising back towards the upper trendlines:

    http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...

    On SPX we have broken back into the expanding wedge today, and the next serious resistance is at 1075 for the retest of the main rally trendline:

    http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...

    The picture on the Nasdaq is still bearish or mixed. All trendlines are broken and we are now retesting the broken expanding wedge lower trendline:

    http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...

    On the Vix an equity buy signal was triggered yesterday after the break outside the bollinger bands and then subsequent closes back within the bands. That has been a reliable signal of an upswing in equities during the rally. In the six months before that though, it seems to have been a reliable sell signal so the question then becomes whether the trend has now changed, which it may well have done. Ignoring the signal then, the picture on the vix still looks mixed as we have broken the main upper trendline since January and are now retesting it, though we may have closed just back inside it:

    http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...

    My take is still that we are likely to make a right shoulder on a head and shoulders pattern on SPX if we do not make a new high. My friend alphahorn has done a very good chart of how this would likely develop and with his permission I am reposting it here. Alphahorn has an excellent charts and EW blog at http://alphahorn.blogspot.com/ which is a very regular research stop for me:

    http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...

    There is another point to consider here with this pattern which is that it is not only the level of the shoulder that is important, but also the time taken to make it. If we do make the right shoulder on this pattern I would estimate that it would take another ten days or more. Fujisan suggested three weeks on the blog yesterday. She could well be right.

    USD tested but did not break the expanding wedge trendline and bounced off. That move down does not look complete, which is why I think we may see more equities upside today:

    http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...

    In the event that we reach SPX 1075 - 1080 today I think we are very likely to bounce off it as it represents major resistance. Not least it is the level of the broken main rally trendline, and a very likely short retracement level after the ascent of the last few days. If we reach it, I will be short from SPX 1075 with a stop at 1085.

    If we are making that H&S pattern though, we will most likely return to retest that level after a retracement.and may well repeatedly touch that trendline, which is rising at about two points per day, as the right shoulder is made.

    If we do close back above the main SPX rally trendline, I would expect a double top or a new high to be made as Kemal_1 is forecasting. In many ways I would much prefer that as we could call the likely point of the next top to within a few SPX points with a very high degree of probability. I'll be posting more on that at the weekend.
  • Ashok · 1 month ago
    SPX up 33 for the week @ 1069......above the 1057 monthly close of Sept and the 1036 close of Oct......staying bullish....still long AAPL and TNA.....have a wonderful weekend, folks...!
  • Brinkley · 1 month ago
    I've sold 2/3 BIDU and MA now, both very nice moves.They both still look good, but I don't trust the final hour on a Friday, so won't get greedy. I also sold 2/3 GOLD and the rest of IAG for now-- they've had huge moves. RGLD still working great, but may sell 1/2 ahead of the close.
  • InthePink · 1 month ago

  • Brinkley · 1 month ago
    The trendline stalled the initial rally to a T-- have to see whether they try again. I took partial profits on some miners, but still have plenty, with stops in place.
  • Facesincabs · 1 month ago
    Just a note for everyone here about unemployment (since I have professional experience in this area I thought that I would mention it) ... with the reported unemployment at 10.2%, the REAL unemployment is probably above 17% (in California it is approaching 19%) ... the difference in these numbers is in how people are counted by government agencies and lots of unemployed people are NOT counted in the 10.2% figure (e.g., like the self-employed who are no longer running their business, or people who are on disability and do not work)

    This is all very sad to me ... because lots of folks are unemployed (and this does not include the under employed) ...

    I am not bullish here but I remain neutral ... the MM's may push up the tape up or just hold its levels today ... I remain patient ...

    Financials are pretty red in the pre-market and for that matter so is oil ... don't listen to all the CNBC bullish pumping being posted below ... it is nothing but a distraction from the reality of the charts ... good luck to everyone today ...
  • chaunceyherbie · 1 month ago
    $spx
    My highest odds going long today are at 1039. plus or minus 0.005%
    1057 is still a good odds going long play today, plus or minus 0.0015%

    $rut
    My highest odds going long today is 560, plus or minus 0.005%
    Still a good odds going long bet is 565.50, plus or minus 0.0015%

    I will adjust position size according to the probabilities, if we sustain the pre-market selling.

    Fwiw.

    Good morning, Folks-- I bought FAZ and TZA in the premarket to hedge against disappointing jobs data, which turned out to be a good decision. I've already sold 1/2 of those, and may re-enter if it appears that the bears will take the day. I listed my longs yesterday-- none are large positions, but they will be pink to red at the open. I will be mostly watching in the early going, and will check back in later. Good luck to all!

    Yes, IAG is beautiful, but RGLD's pattern is of much longer duration and I've been watching/waiting for it to resolve for some time. I think it has the potential to be very powerful. IAG has been unstoppable, and I may take a little off the table today-- we'll see.

    GLD - Spot Gold very briefly touched 1100 (GLD crossed above 108) and has been dropping with the /E7. Don't know what perverse argument there is for this to happen - we get bad unemployment data, even worse than 'expected' and us$ goes up!
  • Rosabarba · 1 month ago
    A gold bull would be inclined to see an intraday double bottom on GLD.
  • Brinkley · 1 month ago
    There is a respectable cup & handle pattern intraday on RGLD. A new hod would put the pattern into play. This is a short-term pattern, but could prove to be a launching pad for the stock if it challenges its all-time high. Overall market is still a little precariously perched right here.

    On the 30 min PnF $SPX 1057.28 to 1058 still looks like a good odds going long play to me if we get a pullback into the mid range of yesterdays action and the higher end of Wednesday's action. Doesn't seem impropable that we might get there given price frequency on the 30 min PnF and the employment news today (although it has bounced nicely from this morning) that would also be at the level of a 3 box selling reversal from this mornings high.

    WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Total U.S. consumer credit dropped by a bigger-than-expected $14.80 billion in September, Federal Reserve data showed on Friday, indicating households prefer to reduce debt and are still reluctant to spend.
    September consumer credit outstanding fell at a 7.19 percent annual rate to $2.46 trillion. August's figures were revised to show a $9.86 billion drop, previously reported as a $12 billion fall.
    Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast consumer credit dropping by $10.0 billion in September. Consumer credit has now declined for eight consecutive months, the longest downward streak since the series started in 1943, according to the Fed.

    They are all over the place, but most/many are breaking out to the upside. They're not "classic" or ideal h/s patterns, in any case. GOLD is one of the leading stocks in the mining sector and had a similar setup-- it broke out into new highs today. NEM is another one that looked similar and had a bullish resolution. If I get a chance I'll try comment further on this and maybe annotate a chart to illustrate what I am seeing.

    Wow. What action in AMZN. The stock moved up more than $10 by 10:00AM today from its Thursday's AM lows. Closed at a new all time high, and above the previous intra-day high.

    I think we are entering the stage where the market will pick its winners and losers instead of lifting all the boats. This is increasingly looking like the summer of 2007.

    The reaction of currencies today was interesting. The biggest drop was against the Yen. Today's job report has sealed any doubts about the Fed tightening any time soon. Traders who may have gone short the Yen predicting a reversal of the funding currency out of USD and back to Yen scrambled to cover. After the initial reaction it became clear that the USD carry trade is on in full force and most currencies recovered. It is very likely that King Dollar will continue its path down now that the pesky NFPs are out of the way.

    However this is not necessarily positive for equities. Traditional risk asset correlations seem to be changing. Oil was down big today while equities rallied and Gold continues to go up. However, liquidity is not going to be drained from the system anytime soon and that should be positive for equities.
