more charts

THIS CHART is from IBO, one of my group associates and also a follower

THE above chart shows us on April18th at the top of WAVE "A"
a recovery wave off the March 9th LOW

That means we should NOW be in WAVE"B" heading down
into my previously posted date of June18th

3 mathematical methods to determine potential price levels
one of course is FIBO, and the other is the spx40 pt rule of thumb, and third is MMATH

1. Fibo
215 pt gain
23.6% x 215 = 50 = spx 825, duhh , we just stopped right there
38.2% x 215 = 82 = spx 793, and that could be next Monday's stopping point
**************************
2. 40pts rule of thumb
875- 40 = 835 got run over a bit and thus we extended to fibo 825
***************************
3. Murrey math
broken down by 8 pts moves
878 - 31 = 847 - 16 = 831 - 8 = 823 >has not breached it yet.
THEN-- NEXT is
878 - 62 = 816 - 16 = 800 - 8 = spx 792 >already mentioned above

THIS WOULD BE MY SUSPECTED LEVEL FOR APRIL27th

    Nice chart Jay I am looking for the spx to tag the bottom side of that wedge around 865 then it will be either put buying time or selling calls.

  5. Jay:

    Another target for B is the starting point of the diagonal at 779.80, call it 780.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Astro8
    SPX 865 , yes I agree
    and I will be accumulating
    puts on any DOW at or near 8050

    Might come tomrrow from the open till 11am

    and again later till about 2pm

  9. some of my work indicates a high today and some tomrrow

    Really doesnt matter when at this time. It matters that I want to stat buying June puts anytime the dow gets at or above 8000 next 2 days

    Today could peak above later today and then one more time tomrrow

    The Bigger gains this week should come off that high to a low of 7500 area on Monday April27th

  10. TODAY
    60 bars hits at OPEN
    90 bars @ noon along with a 78.6%/13day cyle at 11;55am

    From there we should see an afternoon surge, but the late afternoon should be influenced by
    some negative astro effects

    Jay

    ReplyDelete
  11. 78.6%/13 day hit one hour later than scheduled at 12:55;
    now we look for a 2:00pm to 2:30 recovery to get short again

    Bot puts at dow Up 60, and sold them as 12;50 dow was off 25
    11% profit

    I will be buying more puts on the afternoon recovery

    Some of my work indicates a higher open tomrrow, and other data says lower-
    A little confusing for the moment, but overall it will pay to be SHORT the mkt regardless
    and even if there is a last gasp rally tomrrow, thats fine with me also

    Jay

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ok;;
    Its DOWN for tomrrow until NOON
    Saturnian influence

    SPX should challenge 826.83 = Tuesday's intraday low at 11am

    Afterward they should recover some into
    friday at 2;38pm

    BUT i still have Monday for a lower low, maybe spx 816

    I joined market Guru, but they have no track record on me so I started trading BGU & BGZ, on paper

  14. FWIW
    Today, my propensity index says
    sort of like simon says(G)

    Up open Then early low as per bar cycle at 10;30 or sooner
    HIGher late in day with last hour sell off

    then HIGHER tomrrow with another late sell off

    My game plan is to SELl the LATE high tomorow at 2:38 to 3pm

    Unfortunately I will have to hold over wkend as the 27th appears at for now to emualte the 20th

    I am reading a number of other blogs, BUT they are loaded with graphs & are very wordy, making it impossible to figure out whats next.

    As far as mkt guru, Im only repeating by copy and paste what ive posted here

    Jay --Did you cover your shorts-at the close yesterday??

    ReplyDelete
  16. I covered my puts this morning
    & am now FLAT and waiting another opp - got 2 good trades out of it.
    yesterday and this AM

    not sure if I want to buy in for some calls later today which would have to be after 1pm @ 180 bars

    Astro readings this week have been superb

    tomrrow calls for $ improvement and so far my propensity & power index agree with a rally.

    spx got down to 836 as I write this , and if that holds today we should get a rebound up to 855 area = dow rally of about 200 pts

    But today is really tricky as the index shows a late high today , then fizzling out, so buying and holding today could get whipped around

    I suspect that buying calls on today's close would be a better choice as per the above readings

    you said " suspect that buying calls on today's close would be a better choice as per the above readings".

    do you have the spx closing up tomorrow (Friday)?

    this is a tricky market to play 201K's in.

    I have to trade at end-of-day only.

    END OF DAY - thats a CHALLENGE
    move that 401k into an IRA

    You wont be happy with today or tomrrow

    are you buying BGU & BGZ?

    Just like yesterdy, both ths & Fri should sell off at the close of each day

    I would think your best bet would be to buy BGZ at tomrrows High and sell it on Monday's closing low

    Jay,

    "move that 401k into an IRA"

    wish i could :(

    however, I DID move it into MM last Friday, thanks to you and others :)

    I just looked at BGZ's chart.
    Yowza! Over a 50% haircut since March?

    Something bothers me here. The charts are just TOO text book.

    Although we are in the 3rd day of churning around that long dark candle of Monday, EVERYONE sees the same patterns. A major evening star reversal pattern, ED, etc, etc.

    Can it be that easy?

    The fractals are different than the Feb and Jan 09 highs.
    Perhaps we continue to consolidate in the indices thru that approx. May 5th date while the indicators reset.

    somehow, i feel as if someone is sneaking up behind me . . . -g-

  21. Hey Clueless !!
    stay tuned right here

    Just like earlier this week,
    ANY run over 8000 to 8030 area will be MY TIME TO GET SHORT

    Power & propensity index are pointing toward a high anytime between 10am and 3pm

    So, to avoid any confusion
    Im going to buy puts anytime tomrrow above dow8000
    could be early, I hope, the Pool is begging for my appearance(G)

    And believe it or not the whole thing could get repeated one more time on the 28th & 29th

    Monday the 27th should close on a low, but I will have better detail on that Sunday night.

    wow. the open is super bullish!! I think we go up 8 straight days with hardly a pullback - started counting on tuesday ofcourse so 5 days left. Beras are getting killed and EVERYONE is a bear now no matter where you look. We all can't be on the same side of the trade. Think about it.The sell-off ain't coming, at least not for another 2 weeks. I'm going to take money away from the bears today while they cover all the way up.

    I think this is an amazing time to short financials through etfs like faz, skf, or uyg depending on your risk tolerance. If the market closes higher, that will be ideal for a huge drop come Monday, but it will probably be choppy action instead. Good trading everyone!

  38. Ok CHIEF & others thanks
    thanks for the comments
    I hope you bulls bot in at yesterdays low at noon when the SPX was at 835.- I missed it-
    got distracted -

    BUT JUST AS PREDICTED in advance
    RALLY ON OPEN TODAY

    PREDICTED Spx to 861 and it got to 863.49
    so far

    predicted Dow to 8030 and it got to 8068 + 110pts

    CAN IT GO HIGHER today ?

    According to the power & propensity index there could be more later, but Im in SHORT about 60% on the 10am HIGH

    Regardless of any further gains later, the close should be somewhat lower than the potential high at 3:38pm
    If they run it up again later, I will go to 100% short

    My guess is 870 after the report then down at around 2:30 after they run it up.

    I agree w/ 870. Wave symmetry: Past few days: Take 861.78-826.83 = 34.95 Add 34.95 to yesterday's low: 834.45+34.95 = 869.9 or 870...close enough

  41. Probably 875 today, then a pullback and possibly a run to over 900. The problem is that the Treasury is hitting the market for over $100 billion next week, so the run up may do a lower high in early May.

    Sell-off won't come till Monday afternoon. Bears have to wait another agonizing day. And then you have to go long again soon after. So it's no fun being a bear right now- not with goldmansachs in control of world markets.

    There are way too many blogs and timing services seeing the same darn patterns. each of these services have over a 5000 subscribers and many of those are hedge funds and mutual fund managers. The street is playing us. This is a bonafide fact. They've got their shills all over the internet and in all the blogs man.You have to go opposite the timing services because more and more sheep are flocking there for advice. Now the street is screwing everybody over.

    I still like the odds of shorting over the weekend, especially financials. The ndx is at the top of its channel after a 30% run. It's very unlikely that tech will break to the upside Monday. Tech will lead the market down. So, it appears we go down hard Monday, but after that I'm not sure.

    1. For Friday, you changed your call for high from 2:38-3:00 to 3:38. What was that based on? I presume you adjust your major CIT based on actual timing of minor CIT. Is that the case? By the way, the high came at 3:08 exactly midway of 2:38 and 3:38.

    2. Is there a way to have date show up in addition to time for each comment. When the chain gets long, it is difficult to follow the date.

    I have to agree with Harper's comments. Take for example the forum - Traders talk - Fearless forecasters - that board is filled with biaed traders whose constituents are made up of really bad traders and wall street shills. I count maybe a handful at the most who are truly unbiased(purely technical). The others have questionable intentions. Most of the good commentaters have left that board and I don't blame them because the great traders don't need hand-holding and can stand alone. It's coming to a point where internet sites are becoming distractionary equivalent to watching CNBC or CNN or Bloomberg. They can't censor the internet but they can flood it with misinformation and bias sentiment so neophytes have a harder task of sorting out good from bad. Anyway we should get a brief pullback this Monday, Tuesday followed by another surge and then drop into may 1st week. Afterwards it's a MELT UP into late May. Good money to be made in those parabolic spikes that typically end rallys.

    Bye for now and remember - Trend is your friend until it's not.

    oh BTW, I noticed a comment from "Humble1". If this is the same trader from Trader'sTalk-FearlessForecasters -- BEWARE! I observed that this particular trader is well versed in psychological tactics used in a deceitful and manipulative manner. 3 weeks prior to the bottom he began galvaning extreme bearish sentiment by "crying wolf" many times except in this case he is the "wolf" and the bait. Worked like a charm. Since it's easier to create bears out of bulls he will no doubt project time and price for a TOP way further out beyond what he knows to be the real top so that when the top arrives the bulls will be oblivious while he positions ahead of them. Crafty, sneaky , dirty and perverse...but in business what else is new.

    875 major resistance a pull back to the 20 ema would be healthy to continue a move back up. That would be 836 but a retest of the 850 area would be the apex of that wedge on on the 60 min. chart. Looks like it is starting to roll over making a scalp pattern can be powerful. Will be watching the 875 area the market loves to take out the stops before moving lower.
