May 12th EKG

The LATE drop off on the EKG appears to have hit at open on the 13th.
today's EKG seem to indicate a TURN today from a mid day high

which makes tomrrow much more important

note that the limited view of tomrrow's EKG does show it lower

Today's bar cycles
60b @ 11:30
90b@ 2pm

13day cycle segment at 10:42am

Merc direct will try to push back toward the spot where the retro began at 1200
on Arpil19th, but I doubt it will succeed, and thus a failure today should lead to
much lower levels in the next 2 days

    #118

    Note the POWER index published a few times in the last few days does SHOW a CHANGE in trend which looks like it will be today given the look of the EKG

  24. Monday's rally - CNBC news- Stocks rally after Obama's picking judge nominee.

    Why?
    Because she was an advisor to GS

  25. Here's the drawing board

    S&P earnings reduced by 7% - Previous top is 1220 - so market value is 1135. In order for us to get a bargain we need the market to drop from the previous low of 1050 to 980 area. But I think what is the pipeline is what they are trying to do is 1225, so a discount of 7% is 1140.

    Any thoughts ?

    ReplyDelete
  26. English please - LOL :-)

    Are we seeing a downturn from today?
    DRV, TZA, FAZ, VXX all looking good.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Jays monthly chart looks exactly like that 980 but you know PPT

    ReplyDelete
  28. TYP looks good as long as QQQQ under 48.49

    ReplyDelete
  29. AS,

    Also look at Jay's chart for the week, down tomorrow am then up. So I think DRV in terms of that looks good

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am still holding TZA & FAZ

    ReplyDelete
  31. Adding more TZA here, CSCO earnings A/H

    ReplyDelete
  32. Jay - what is the impact of Mer if we end at the highs today ?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Seems they still want 1180

    ReplyDelete
  34. Abdullah,

    Hold on into getting shorts. I think just go with the long term price QQQQ at 54.

    ReplyDelete
  35. took 750 TZA at 5.65

    ReplyDelete
  36. As much as I would like to get short price is above yesterday's highs yet short of fib extensions. Also volume is super light. Best to wait for tomorrow's gap and take it from there.

    we're back to square one again.its as though last week was a dream like bobby ewing coming back to life! holding shorts is just a fast track to the poor house.how can you sell off 165 big handles then buy it back up 120 in 3 days and still want for more? its crackers computer trading.back to scalping where its safer i think lol. most cycles are being twisted or ignored again.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm really shorter at the close today. I'm going to get shorter tomorrow morning too.

  39. A little rule of thumb for the SPY and OPEX week.

    If the trend the week before OPEX is up and/or flat into Friday, then the SPY will trade 1 to 4 points above Max Pain for OPEX week.

    At this moment Max Pain is 119 so that implies the SPY trading range for next week will be a low near 120 and a high near 124.

    This assumes the markets keep rallying and/or flat line into this Friday.

    If the week before OPEX is down into Friday then the SPY will trade about -1 to +1 during OPEX week from the Max Pain value.

  40. Bought IWM puts at the close...its only up more than 7% this week lol. Crazy but true! I refuse to go long this market but always play the short side after a huge move.
