Oct 20th EKG & AM commentary & closing

NOT quite as good as yesterday, but still showed the trend for the day
Jay
Yesterday's EKG was as good a gold.
will today be a repeat performance?

Today we have a convergence at 11am of the bar cycles{ 21hrs} & 13 day pivots
as shown above

It should lead to an afternoon rebound till 3:30pm
as shown above

Power data indicates a good start but retreating the rest of the day which is somewhat contrary to the EKG but not entirely

CNBC commentator telling the public that stocks are CHEAP, of course in relative terms, but we ALL know the stock market stretches evaluations in both directions.

Just as they got over bot for many months in 2007, they can get oversold for many months
also, and look cheap. Where was his recommendations on March 9th, 2009 ??
Anyway.
IMO there were many holes in his argument, but he is obviously attempting to attract buyers.
Its the OLD argument that IF you buy and hold for a long enuf time, your values will increase.
BUT then again, stock market has not made sufficient gains since year 2000
10 years of apathy.

SO<>

Watch what happens in the politico arena IF we get a substantial decline in the next 10days
They, whoever they is, will be screaming- MR PRESIDENT !!- DO MORE TO HELP
what are you waiting for? another crash ??

more later
Jay

  1. that EKG makes sense really. we start with the end of wave a. then up for b, and then a c wave to complete this correction.

  3. 5 -3 -5 from Monday's close
    what was it?
    wave A ?

    now in wave B
    3 waves a,b,c

    next wave C
    5-3-5

    Just a correction in a continuing trend to Jan 24th with only a minor pause

    OR do we really have a hole in the bucket this week

    Remember I mentioned the days surrounding 22nd were heavy

    that means tomrrow & Friday or nothing

  4. the best case for the bears is a nasty c wave to around the 1130 level

    but it should turn here around 1177/1178, if not expect a new high

  6. What a strange morning. Well, let me rephraze that... what a manipulated morning.

    Over the past few days the Fed did over 10 Billion in POMO operations. Then this morning they went straight to the TIPS market. In a nutshell, after the opening rush higher, the market started fading and then as usual "boom" it was rescued.

  7. a 90% retracement for wave B wouldn't be abnormal i guess. pretty much there now, and rising wedges across the board

  10. HI C
    good to see your comments
    always clarity

    Yes got just above 78% retrace

    wave 2 or B
    probably 2

    But 5-3-5 down to 1160 is nuttin

    STill on target for decline from 19th to 28th

    got to bear thru this brief rally

  13. On Monday they pushed the market higher, closing us out at about 11,143.

    ON Tuesday we ended the day down 165 points, with most of the materials guys, and gold/silver/oil/copper etc down sharply.

    On Wednesday program after program fired off and we were up 130 to 11108.

    I have a mixed emotions on either to lean LONG and start buying or WAIT. I think I am done with my SHORT positions for now.

    WAIT is all i can do for now ...

  14. I am beginning to develop a deep hatred for the Fed / Banks / and Obama.

  15. Abdullah - I can imagine your state ....

    Here were jay's reading for the week ...and my comments in hindsight

    Monday 18th - not sure what this meant ...unless it was a warning for tues...
    DONT RISK $$

    Tues 19th - Huge down
    Disruptions

    Wed 20th - Huge up
    expect some success

    Thsday 21st
    PROBLEMS & Struggles
    expect a difficult day

    Friday 22nd
    UNSTEADY
    return to common sense mid afternoon

    Based on this and the power graph and reading - it seems that the time to cover shorts is sometime tomm or friday morning ...

    From a wave perspective if yest was a, today was b, then tomm/friday should be a nasty c down ...

  16. Jay - what are you seeing for next week ... i know you expected a major pivot on oct 21 /22 ...

  17. Thanks AS
    good reminder

    Im waiting for 8:30am, not that it should be a game changer, and 26 hrs today is at 10am

    13hrs opened down 150 dow on Tuesday
    so today might open at a high

    According to one of my sources
    Oct 28th is more of a pivot low
    and might be the IMPORTANT one

    they are HOLDING up on THIN ICE
    and it could give way any moment

    Monday, 25th has 39 hrs at 10am and after a strong open, GOOD SHORT opp - mkt should cascade to a low at 11am on the 28th

    I know it sounds like the I'm yelling WOLFE once too often, but
    WE KNOW as long term traders
    there has to be a sell off before the next rally in NOV

    One week at a time is sometimes insufficient data, but I cant get too far ahead

    MY 6 month graph SHOWS a LOW on the 27th

    Think about what your FEELING

    bulls feel most AWFUL when the mkt makes an extreme low

    bears FEEL most AWFUL when the mkt makes its extreme high

    and both occur right at the MOST IMPORTANT pivots -@ tops as well as bottoms

    FUTURES pointing at ONE MORE high at 10am, or sooner this AM
