Thursday 6/29/23. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

The Nasdaq climbed by 0.3% or 36.08 points. Since 02/05/1971 the Nasdaq made 672 similar moves on a percentage basis. After those moves, the next day's...
     Average gain was 0.8% on 368 occasions.
     Average loss was -0.6% on 304 occasions.
Expect the Nasdaq to close higher 54.8% of the time.
Weekly, since inception on 6/14/2011:
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing higher has been right 260/456 or 57.0% of the time.
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing lower has been right 72/152 or 47.4% of the time.

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

Picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5 minute scale.

$ $ $

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

Not much is happening on the chart, so I drew some lines to make it look busy.

Notice the height of A above the red line. Compare that to the height of B to the red line. They are almost the same. That's called the measure rule for trendlines. See the link for an in depth explanation.

The red line is a trendline connecting the valleys. It shows support.

The blue line connects the peak at C and I drew it horizontally from there. It shows resistance. Could the index touch the blue line and drop like it did at C (and on Friday and on the first peak a week ago Wednesday)?

The answer is hard to say but my guess is we could be in for several days of a sideways move, mirroring the sideways move from last Wednesday to A (3 days). Often these mirrors look nice when they work, but there are lots of exceptions. Maybe this will be one of them.

Wednesday 6/28/23. A Look At Indicators

Picture of the chart pattern indicator

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 CPI has turned bullish as the vertical green bar shows on the chart. That's no surprise given that the markets were up today (Tuesday, over 1% point).

This upswing suggests the recent retrace has ended and we'll see new highs shortly.

Picture of the percent down indicators

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).

Shown as a red line on the above chart...
On Tuesday, 38% of stocks in my database are in bear market territory (down at least 20% from their 1-year high).
A week ago, it was 37%.
The fewest was 31% on 02/02/2023.
And the most was 78% on 09/26/2022.
Shown as a blue line on the above chart...
The 521 stocks in my database are down an average of 17% from their yearly high.
A week ago, the average was 18%.
The peak was 16% on 02/02/2023.
And the bottom was 34% on 09/30/2022.

The red line shows weakness and the blue line shows strength compared to a week ago.

The red line since October has been trending higher, but has been weak since February.

This chart has a mixed signal but the CPI chart is more reliable and it's bullish. So I'm looking for the indices to continue rising.

Monday 6/26/23. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

My Prediction

Picture of the Nasdaq on the daily scale.

I show the Nasdaq composite on the daily scale. Not much is happening on the chart.

I drew a channel, outlined here in red, that the index has been following for four months now.

What does it mean?

Notice that the index is near the top of the channel. If the index behaves like it has in the past, then it'll bounce off the top line and drop to the lower one. That's why channels are useful (because they can show direction).

Indeed, you can see the index coming down now. I expect that retrace to continue.

However, it might not. In some cases, the index will drop to about midway across the channel and then rise again, perhaps staging an upward breakout.

Thursday 6/22/23. Cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH-USD)

The Nasdaq dropped by -1.2% or -165.09 points. Since 02/05/1971 the Nasdaq made 131 similar moves on a percentage basis. After those moves, the next day's...
     Average gain was 1.3% on 56 occasions.
     Average loss was -1.4% on 75 occasions.
Expect the Nasdaq to close lower 57.3% of the time.
Weekly, since inception on 6/14/2011:
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing higher has been right 260/456 or 57.0% of the time.
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing lower has been right 72/151 or 47.7% of the time.

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

Picture of Ethereum.

$ $ $

I show a picture of Ethereum on the daily scale.

Ethereum broke through support, which I show as a red line. Ignore the spikes down through the line where it fails to show support, but rather the general tendency of the currency to remain above the line that illustrates support.

Compare the height of A to the red line versus the red line to the low at B. They look nearly the same height. That's called the measure rule for trendlines.

Don't get too excited. It rarely works. Will the move from B to the red line mirror the rise up to C? It's close now. My guess is no, it won't. Why? Because as soon as you recognize a pattern and try to depend on it, the rule fails.

In this case, the crypto could just blow through the target and continue higher...or not. My guess? Yes, it'll continue to rise past the height of A, maybe reaching the height of the peak to the left of A (the May peak).

Wednesday 6/21/23. A Look At Indicators

Picture of the chart pattern indicator

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 CPI has turned bearish, as the red vertical bar on the far right of the chart shows. After such as swift move up in the last 2 weeks, a retrace is expected.

So this chart is bearish, but only mildly so. In other words, I'm expecting a retrace not a longer-term change in trend.

Picture of the percent down indicators

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).

Shown as a red line on the above chart...
On Tuesday, 37% of stocks in my database are in bear market territory (down at least 20% from their 1-year high).
A week ago, it was 37%.
The fewest was 31% on 02/02/2023.
And the most was 78% on 09/26/2022.
Shown as a blue line on the above chart...
The 521 stocks in my database are down an average of 18% from their yearly high.
A week ago, the average was 17%.
The peak was 16% on 02/02/2023.
And the bottom was 34% on 09/30/2022.

The blue line is slightly worse this week compared to a week ago. That's the only hint of weakness that I could find on this chart.

With the prior chart suggesting a retrace and this chart only hinting of a downturn, I expect the CPI chart to be the better predictor. So I'm looking for the index to drop more, maybe for a week to 10 days.

The Dow dropped by -0.3% or -108.94 points. Since 10/01/1928 the Dow made 1086 similar moves on a percentage basis. After those moves, the next day's...
     Average gain was 0.6% on 515 occasions.
     Average loss was -0.7% on 571 occasions.
Expect the Dow to close lower 52.6% of the time.
Weekly, since inception on 6/14/2011:
     The prediction of the Dow closing higher has been right 264/480 or 55.0% of the time.

Thursday 6/15/23. Intraday Market Direction: Nasdaq

The Nasdaq climbed by 0.4% or 53.16 points. Since 02/05/1971 the Nasdaq made 631 similar moves on a percentage basis. After those moves, the next day's...
     Average gain was 0.8% on 399 occasions.
     Average loss was -0.9% on 232 occasions.
Expect the Nasdaq to close higher 63.2% of the time.
Weekly, since inception on 6/14/2011:
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing higher has been right 259/455 or 56.9% of the time.
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing lower has been right 72/151 or 47.7% of the time.

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.

I didn't scour the chart looking for patterns, but I did notice a broadening top chart pattern, highlighted in red.

I extended the bottom line because I felt like it. The index has pushed through the top of the pattern, dropped back to snag the bottom line, before rebounding.

If I extend the top trendline, it would come close to or even touch the most recent peak. That suggests the index will retrace (bouncing off overhead resistance). It's like being swatted with a rolled up newspaper.

Maybe not, but with the FED holding steady, there's some justification for the index to push through, upward. Either that, or the good news of the FED keeping rates steady was already factored in and the index will drop. Take your pick.

Wednesday 6/14/23. A Look At Indicators

Picture of the chart pattern indicator

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 CPI shows a bullish signal. The index is moving higher seemingly each day. The FED, tomorrow, could change that, of course. I thought the next meeting was in a month but they report tomorrow.

Picture of the percent down indicators

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).

Shown as a red line on the above chart...
On Tuesday, 34% of stocks in my database are in bear market territory (down at least 20% from their 1-year high).
A week ago, it was 38%.
The fewest was 31% on 02/02/2023.
And the most was 80% on 06/17/2022.
Shown as a blue line on the above chart...
The 522 stocks in my database are down an average of 17% from their yearly high.
A week ago, the average was 19%.
The peak was 16% on 02/02/2023.
And the bottom was 34% on 09/30/2022.

Both lines (red and blue) this week are bullish compared to a week ago.

The index is making new highs. The red line is trending higher and has been rising since October 2022 in a stair-step fashion.

Both charts this week are bullish and I believe that this signals the market's confidence that the FED will hold rates steady tomorrow. If not, look for the markets to make a sharp one-day drop, probably several hundreds points.

Monday 6/12/23. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

My Prediction

Picture of the Dow industrials on the daily scale.

The chart shows the Dow industrials on the daily scale.

I highlight a potential head-and-shoulders bottom chart pattern.

I write "potential" because the index has to close above the red neckline, A. Until that happens, you're just looking at squiggles on the price chart.

If it confirms as a valid pattern, then it suggests we'll see a big move upward. I think that'll happen, perhaps when the Federal Reserve reports on their meeting.

Perhaps the move up will begin next week.

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.

Monday: Down 199.9 points.
Tuesday: Up 10.42 points.
Wednesday: Up 91.74 points.
Thursday: Up 168.59 points.
Friday: Up 43.17 points.

For the Week...

The Dow industrials were up 114.02 points or 0.3%.
The Nasdaq composite was up 18.37 points or 0.1%.
The S&P 500 index was up 16.49 points or 0.4%.

Year to Date...

Dow Industrials
     1.4% down from the high of 34,342.32 on 01/13/2023.
     7.8% up from the low of 31,429.82 on 03/15/2023.
Nasdaq
     0.9% down from the high of 13,385.95 on 06/09/2023.
     29.2% up from the low of 10,265.04 on 01/06/2023.
S&P 500
     0.5% down from the high of 4,322.62 on 06/09/2023.
     13.3% up from the low of 3,794.33 on 01/03/2023.

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).

Thursday 6/8/23. Cryptocurrency Review: Bitcoin (BTC-USD)

The Nasdaq dropped by -1.3% or -171.52 points. Since 02/05/1971 the Nasdaq made 125 similar moves on a percentage basis. After those moves, the next day's...
     Average gain was 1.1% on 52 occasions.
     Average loss was -1.6% on 73 occasions.
Expect the Nasdaq to close lower 58.4% of the time.
Weekly, since inception on 6/14/2011:
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing higher has been right 259/455 or 56.9% of the time.
     The prediction of the Nasdaq closing lower has been right 72/150 or 48.0% of the time.

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

Picture of the bitcoin.

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

Bitcoin shows a falling wedge chart pattern, shown here outlined in red at A. The breakout from those patterns is upward 68% of the time, but that's in stocks.

Notice that the cryptocurrency touched the bottom of the wedge at B. Because the bottom red trendline is a support area, it suggests a rise to C. Maybe, just maybe, we'll see an upward breakout immediately thereafter.

I'd say the wedge is a bullish pattern, and it is, but in this case, it could be a trap. Why? It could be a bearish top trap. If you erase the red lines, we see a horizontal top, forming a bullish chart pattern. Price may rise but it won't go far before reversing and tumbling. In other words, be cautious.

Wednesday 6/7/23. A Look At Indicators

Picture of the chart pattern indicator

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 CPI chart shows a bullish signal and it's a strong one. The index has pushed above nearby overhead resistance. Although the index might retrace, with the debt ceiling suspended until 2025, there's room for growth. Tempering that is the coming Federal Reserve meeting coming next month. Worries about that meeting's outcome will continue.

Picture of the percent down indicators

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).

Shown as a red line on the above chart...
On Tuesday, 38% of stocks in my database are in bear market territory (down at least 20% from their 1-year high).
A week ago, it was 44%.
The fewest was 31% on 02/02/2023.
And the most was 80% on 06/17/2022.
Shown as a blue line on the above chart...
The 522 stocks in my database are down an average of 19% from their yearly high.
A week ago, the average was 21%.
The peak was 16% on 02/02/2023.
And the bottom was 34% on 09/30/2022.

Both the red and blue lines are bullish compared to a week ago. That's the good news.

This chart shows a peak last August and the index is reaching the level of that peak. So despite what I wrote above about minimal resistance above, there IS overhead resistance shown on this chart.

So there's concern about the index moving higher or perhaps suffering a retrace. The prior chart is bullish and so is this one. While I expect a retrace, I think it'll be short lived and we'll see a resumption of a move higher.

Monday 6/5/23. Market Monday: The Week Ahead

My Prediction

Picture of the Dow transports on the daily scale.

I show the Dow transports on the daily scale.

At A, the index breaks through a down-sloping trendline suggesting there's a good rise in store. I think that assessment is correct.

At B, we have support in the form of a triple bottom chart pattern. With the close at A above the top of the chart pattern, it confirmed the triple bottom as a valid chart pattern.

At C, we see a potential double bottom. The index has to close above the highest peak between the two bottoms to confirm it as valid. If it confirms, it'll suggest another rise.
