Thursday 7/28/22. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

Since I post this the night before, check how the futures are trading before market open. Large moves can affect the opening direction.

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.

The chart shows a pattern called a measured move up. That's the ABCD climb.

What I like about the measured move is that there's a good chance (57%) price returns to the corrective phase (BC) or below. So I expect the index to drop to B and perhaps lower tomorrow.

Wednesday 7/27/22. A Look At Indicators

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.

Two weeks ago, the indicator turned bullish and it has remained bullish since.

Today's (Tuesday) drop has pulled the indicator down, but it's still in the bullish range. You can see the dip near the bottom of the chart in the thin blue indicator line.

The red line is the percentage of stocks at least 20% below their 1-year high (plotted upside down). The blue line is the average percentage drop of stocks below their 1-year high (plotted upside down).

Only the red line improved this week compared to a week ago. The blue line has remained steady.

Notice that the two bottoms, AB, where the low at B is above A. You can think of this pattern as a ugly double bottom. I think it's a sign of strength.

The two charts this week are bullish. Both charts show weakness today (the CPI chart) or within the last few days (this chart, red line shows a drop). So that suggests a retrace in an upward price trend. When the FED reports, I expect the markets to react, perhaps upward unless the FED raises rates a full point.

Monday 7/25/22. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

• My Prediction
• A Brief Look Back
• Options Expiration
• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

This chart is a study of failed chart patterns.

Let's start with triple bottom ABC. It confirms as a valid chart pattern when the index closes above red line D. But look at how far the index rises. It's not far enough to meet the measure rule target, which is the height of the triple bottom (from C to D added to D).

Double bottom EF confirms at G, but it has the same problem. The rise above G isn't what was expected. That knot to the right of G is a diamond top, by the way (I don't highlight it).

We see a three rising valleys at 123. It confirmed at 4, when the index closed above the top of the chart pattern. Will the index rise far enough to reach its target? I'm hoping the answer is yes, but we won't know until it gets there.

A Brief Look Back

Swing Traders: Pivot Points

The following is based on an SFO article in December 2004 by John Seekinger, titled, "Take a two-dimensional approach." He offers these tips.

• Seekinger doesn't look at the range of S2 to R2 as support and resistance levels. Rather, he considers them oversold (S) and overbought (R) areas.
• S2 to R2 range of values across daily, weekly, and monthly periods: If two values are close together then they lend more significance to the area.
• If the market trends on day 1, the odds rise tremendously that the market will be range bound between daily S1 and daily R1 the next day.
• In a quiet market when traders are waiting for an important earnings announcement or economic report, look for daily R1 and S1 levels to hold and for the market to return to the daily pivot.
• A move outside of daily R1 or S1 usually does not mean a breakout.
• The odds suggest that the entire week's price action will remain between weekly R2 and S2.
• Avoid going long when the market moves above weekly R2 (it's overbought) and avoid going short when price moves below weekly S2 (oversold).
• Consider going short at weekly R1 or long at weekly S1 with a profit objective of the weekly pivot.
• Consider going long at weekly S2 or short at weekly R2 with a profit objective of weekly S1 or R1, respectively.

Thursday 7/21/22. Ethereum Cryptocurrency Review

$ $ $

I show a picture of Ethereum on the daily scale.

At A, the cryptocurrency moved horizontally and formed a pattern that isn't an descending triangle (too much white space, I think), but it's close.

At C, the horizontal base of the triangle might pose a problem for the currency to move higher.

At B, the currency formed a solid base, a rectangle bottom. After the upward breakout from the rectangle, the coin skyrocketed. It has yet to reach red line C, but it'll be interesting to see if the coin turns down there (anywhere between A and C is a resistance area).

Wednesday 7/20/22. A Look At Indicators

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.

The big move upward on Tuesday (today) forced the indicator from neutral into a bullish stance. The chart shows this by the vertical green bar on the far right of the chart.

The new signal is good news for bulls. Today's move higher is reported to be a reaction to good earnings, so maybe this move has momentum with better earnings expected by other companies.

The red line is the percentage of stocks at least 20% below their 1-year high (plotted upside down). The blue line is the average percentage drop of stocks below their 1-year high (plotted upside down).

Both the red and blue lines are higher than they were a week ago.

The chart of the red line shows a higher low. You can call it an ugly double bottom where the second bottom is above the first.

Both charts are bullish this week, which suggests the upward move has staying power. Yes, we could see a retrace, especially if a popular company falls short of earnings expectations. However, this might be a good time to bottom fish for securities you've wanted to own.

Monday 7/18/22. Market Monday: Have We Hit Bottom?

• My Prediction
• A Brief Look Back
• Options Expiration
• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

I show the Dow industrials on the daily chart.

The two bottoms at AB remind me of an ugly double bottom. That's a twin-bottom pattern where the second bottom is well above the first bottom.

For indices, I don't set a percentage rise (which is usually 5%) between the two bottoms. That's because you don't see a larger percentage move on the indices (usually, but that's changed recently).

Anyway, the two bottoms are uneven.

The pattern won't become valid until the index closes above the red line at C. So we've a bit to go before we can call the turn from down to up.

If we see the index reach C, there's overhead resistance at D setup by the breakaway gap at D. That might slow the upward move.

It's something to be aware of in the coming days.

A Brief Look Back

The following is a brief review of how the markets performed over time. The numbers refer to the close-to-close move in the Dow industrials.

Thursday 7/14/22. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

Since I post this the night before, check how the futures are trading before market open. Large moves can affect the opening direction.

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.

The index broke through (heading down) a trendline (shown in red), at A. I show the depth of that plunge with the vertical green line.

After such plunges which pierce a trendline, the measure rule for trendlines suggests that if the security pierces the red trendline moving up, then you'll see a climb in height similar to the depth of the plunge. In other words, the height of the two green lines will be similar.

If that happens, it means the index should rise to B, the price of the top of the green line. However, that might not happen because the index has moved sideways for several hours today. That suggests overhead resistance which it will have to burn through before it makes the move. Perhaps we'll see the jump up at the market open on Thursday.

Wednesday 7/13/22. A Look At Indicators

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.

The indicator is in the neutral zone, but the last signal was bullish. You can see those changes by the white bars and the preceding green bar.

The longer-term trend, however, is downward. I show an accelerating drop with blue lines (segments). It appears that the index has bounced off the blue line and has turned down. Of course, anything can happen, but it suggests the index is still under pressure to drop.

The red line is the percentage of stocks at least 20% below their 1-year high (plotted upside down). The blue line is the average percentage drop of stocks below their 1-year high (plotted upside down).

The landscape on this chart didn't change much over the past week. The red line is slightly more bearish but the blue line is unchanged (when compared to a week ago).

The red line bounced off the June low and climbed, but it might reverse and form the second bottom of a potential double bottom.

The prior chart is bullish but suggesting the index will drop. This chart is recovering but I expect a downturn. This is a time for caution if you're bullish. We might see the index slump for a week or so before recovering.

Monday 7/11/22. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

• My Prediction
• A Brief Look Back
• Options Expiration
• Swing Traders: Pivot Points
• Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

My Prediction

I show the Dow transports on the daily scale.

From the left, I highlight a head-and-shoulders bottom chart pattern. LS is the left shoulder and RS is the right one. The breakout happens at A with a strong push upward. The rise doesn't quite meet the target (which is the height from the low at the head to the red neckline directly above, added to the breakout price.

BC is a double top, confirmed when the index closes below line D. Price exceeded the target this time (pattern's height subtracted from the breakout price).

Now, we see a weird looking diamond bottom, but most diamonds are weird looking. In fact, the right side might see price continue higher which would probably invalidate this diamond (because of not enough trendline touches).

The breakout from a diamond is upward 74% of the time, so maybe we'll see price rise in the coming days.

A Brief Look Back

The following is a brief review of how the markets performed over time. The numbers refer to the close-to-close move in the Dow industrials.

For the Week...

Year to Date...

Options Expiration

Many options expire this week, so traders will be looking to close out their positions, and that suggests increased volatility (large daily price swings).

Swing Traders: Pivot Points

The following is based on an SFO article in December 2004 by John Seekinger, titled, "Take a two-dimensional approach." He offers these tips.

• Seekinger doesn't look at the range of S2 to R2 as support and resistance levels. Rather, he considers them oversold (S) and overbought (R) areas.
• S2 to R2 range of values across daily, weekly, and monthly periods: If two values are close together then they lend more significance to the area.
• If the market trends on day 1, the odds rise tremendously that the market will be range bound between daily S1 and daily R1 the next day.
• In a quiet market when traders are waiting for an important earnings announcement or economic report, look for daily R1 and S1 levels to hold and for the market to return to the daily pivot.
• A move outside of daily R1 or S1 usually does not mean a breakout.
• The odds suggest that the entire week's price action will remain between weekly R2 and S2.
• Avoid going long when the market moves above weekly R2 (it's overbought) and avoid going short when price moves below weekly S2 (oversold).
• Consider going short at weekly R1 or long at weekly S1 with a profit objective of the weekly pivot.
• Consider going long at weekly S2 or short at weekly R2 with a profit objective of weekly S1 or R1, respectively.

Here are the formulas:

Thursday 7/7/22. Bitcoin Review. Revised!

Since I post this the night before, check how the futures are trading before market open. Large moves can affect the opening direction.

$ $ $

My software stopped reading the file at June 6, so I created an analysis using the wrong chart. This replaces my original post. Thanks to Varga Zoltan for spotting this. Note: You may have to clear your cache to get the new image to load. The new chart shows point A at the top and point C at the bottom of the pic.

I show a picture of bitcoin (BTC-USD) on the daily scale.

Price peaked at A and dropped to the descending triangle at B. If we assume that the chart pattern is the midway point of a measured move down chart pattern (or half staff pattern), then the drop measures about 48,000 to 28,000, or 20,000 points. Applying this move from the top of the triangle, about 31,000 - 20,000 gives a target of 11,000. Note that I ignored the spike at D because it's an outlier. I'd rather base the measure on the tight move of the triangle.

I'm eyeballing all of these numbers from this chart, so it's not an accurate guess. Also realize that this type of analysis (using measured moves) rarely works but it does give you an indication of what might happen. It suggests the coin has about another ~9,000 points to drop.

It's possible it can drop that far, but to me, it looks like it's found a bottom here and we'll see it return to the corrective phase of the measured move down. That's a rise back up to B, or about 28,000.

Wednesday 7/6/22. A Look At Indicators

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.

The indicator turned bearish today (Tuesday) after the markets put in mixed results. As the thin blue indicator line suggests, the CPI is weakening.

Notice that the index is still trending downward from the peak in January.

The red line is the percentage of stocks at least 20% below their 1-year high (plotted upside down). The blue line is the average percentage drop of stocks below their 1-year high (plotted upside down).

Both lines this week are weaker than they were seven days ago. This chart also shows a downtrend in the red and blue lines, stretching back to the start of the chart on the far left.

The two charts this weak are bearish. The one above is more bullish than the CPI, I think. Why? Because the indicator moved up during the last two weeks, so it looks more like a retrace in a short-term uptrend.

I expect a resumption of the uptrend.
