Week Ending 4/24/20 - Oil Went Negative

Stock indices traded sideways this week recording small losses.  Oil contracts had a crazy move with the front contracts falling to -$40 a barrel due to oversupply and lack of storage. 


The S&P traded sideways for the week.  
Needs to re-take recent highs to null vM's to 2660.75 and 2567.25.
I think a break above or below this range the S&P has been trading 
in the last couple weeks will determine where it goes. 



Bonds traded slightly higher for the week nulling vM's lower.



Gold is making large patterns both directions.



The Dollar has triggered vM to 93.835



The expiring oil futures contracts fell into negative territory this week due to oversupply and lack of storage.  Looking at longer term charts, I plotted vM's with price targets to the negative territory, but didn't think it would happen.  Not sure where it goes from here, but all patterns lower, including the negative ones have hit, and any vW's higher were nulled.

TOS and FINVIZ are showing a different price than Trading View.  I think Trading View is still showing the prior month contract [K20] and TOS is on [M20].  On TOS oil gapped up on Thursday and closed down 1.53% at 24.14.
Trading View is showing no gap, a drop down 8.05% closing at 18.27

UPDATE Mon 4/20/20 10:30am: The [K20] contract fell over 40% on Monday to around $10.  The [M20] contract fell about 9% to around 22.75.  Some are saying it's at $10, but the USO is more reflective of the [M20] which is only down about 9% as well.

Update Man 4/20/20 3pm:  /CLK20 fell even further falling into negative territory.  It was down more than negative 30%.

Week Ending 4-3-20 - Oil, Lumber, Copper

This will be a shortened update for the week, since the major indices have mostly moved sideways and are similar to each other.  Oil fell heavily to a target price at 19.91 and has so for bounced.  Bonds are still volatile, but the daily moves were closer to normal.



The S&P traded sideways for the week.  Has patterns in both directions.



Bonds still battling between vW's and vM's.
Volatility was lighter, and closed slightly higher for the week.
vW's to 242'15 and 249'26 are triggered.



Oil hit vM target price at 19.91 and has so far bounced over 40%.  
I think overall markets need 19.91 to hold to avoid further decline.
If falls back below 19.91, 8.91 is a high possibility.



The crazy moves in the Dollar continue.
It is currently battling between long term vW to 105.515 
and shorter term vM's to 93.85 and 92.865



Copper fell through vM 2.1705 by 5%,
but looks to be building a base around that level.
Needs to hold recent lows to avoid further selling towards vM 1.85



Lumber fell through vM 277.1 and triggered longer vM's lower.  
vW to 619.5 was nulled by this weeks actions.
