Week Ending 3/6/20 Covid-19

Markets have been falling after the corona virus began spreading beyond China around February 20, 2020.  Although I think the selloff is an overreaction, it may have pushed markets to technical levels, where even if the virus is contained or eliminated in the near future, more selling may occur.  The fed recently cut rates again, and with markets at all time highs, I don't understand or agree with the move.  If equity indexes fall much lower they will trigger patterns with target prices 15-20% below recent lows.  

Note:  There is a lot of "noise" (target prices and necklines denoted yellow indicating that pattern has hit) on these charts.  Often hit target prices and their necklines act as support/resistance, so they are still on there for future reference.



The S&P needs to hold recent lows to avoid 
further selling towards 2858.75, 2746, 2706, and 2389.
It is also close to the level from 2018 labeled 
"If we close above, new highs likley".
If we start closing under that level now, 
I will expect selling towards 2389.



The Russell made new lows Friday and closed below the neckline for 1207.4
It also has a target price at 1218.2 that has triggered.  
Much more selling below these current levels, I think this area will be inevitable



Similar to the S&P, the Nasdaq needs to avoid breaking recent lows 
to avoid triggering target prices lower at 7736.75 and 6605.



The Dow needs to hold recent lows to avoid further selling.

NOTE: I drew another neckline because the original neckline (probably drawn on an hourly chart)
included excess on the daily chart.  When I drew it on the daily chart without the excess, the pattern hit (target price 29463)



For some reason my drawings for bonds have dissapeared, 
but it doesn't matter because any head and shoulders patterns lower would be nulled.  
Bonds gained 6.69% on Friday, which as far as I know, and per this chart, is the biggest move in bonds I've seen.
VW to 243'25 is triggered.



The Dollar came very close to 99.890 before turning lower.  
vM to 94.600 is triggereed.



Gold is trying to move higher and null vM to 1452.9



Copper has triggered vM to 1.85
It is still above the neckline for 3.7840 but much more selling will un-trigger.



Lots of "noise" on this chart, but oil looks like on its way to 37.69 and has triggered vM's to 24.39 and 19.91



Lumber has triggered vM to 352.7 and much lower will trigger 315.9

Week ending 5/10/19

The S&P has a vM to 2018.75 inside much larger vW's to 3218 and 3579.25.  Looks like it wants higher as long as it can stay above 2880.



Russel has a small vM to 1520.6 inside larger vW's to 1678.7, 1828.2, and 1927.1
Unlike the other indexes, it still has a way to go before making new highs, and nulling larger time frame vM's lower.



The Nasdaq has a vM to 6879.5 inside larger vW's to 8038 and 8571.5



The Dow Hasn't yet made new highs.  Has a VM to 24218 inside larger time frame vW's to 27089, 28181, 29814, 30844, and 32173



The XLF Still has a vM to 20.28 that is triggered.  Above 30.32 Nulls.
vW's to new all time highs are triggered.



XLF Long Term



The Dollar has been going somewhat sideways, but still grinding higher.



Gold still trading sideways.



Copper



Bonds have held strong despite the equity market rally.
They hit vW to 167 this week.  
Watch to see if turns lower or forms patterns higher.  
Higher would likely be bad for equity markets



Oil has a vM to 58.07 inside a larger time frame vW to 71.93



Lumber futures are retesting last years lows.
Needs to bounce here to avoid further selling towards 268.5,
and triggering patterns to sub $200



Soybeans has a vM to 560'6 that is triggered.

Week ending 3/15/19

Stock indices rallied for the week with the S&P retaking the high made just below all time highs.  Other indices arre close.  Bonds still have patterns both ways though.



The ES has rallied and closed above the
high made just before last years drop, 
which is also the high just below new all time highs. 
Could see some sideways action,
but if the Russell can follow suit, expecting new all time highs.






The Nasdaq has nulled short term vM's lower, 
and sitting just below the high made just below all time highs.



The Dollar missed vW 97.670 by .050 
Calling that a hit.  vW to 92.010 was also nulled.



Oil looks like it want 63.19



Bonds have been trading sideways and have several target prices both ways.  
Price is close to hitting vW 162'08.  If it hits and turns lower,
it should be good for stocks.

Week Ending 3-8-19

The markets are back below my bull/bear lines 2770 for the S&P and 1540 for the Russell.  On Thursday the Russell fell significantly heavier (2% v.s. .65%-.93%) than the other indices, which is usually a leader of the trend.  If stock indices do go to lower vM target prices, they will form patterns to test last years lows.



The ES barely missed vW 2820.25 and turned lower.  
vM to 2721.75 is triggered and vM to 2641 is formed.
2770 is my bull/bear line.



The Russell hit vM 1538 and fell below.  
vM to 1469.7 is triggered.



The Nasdaq has hit vM 7005 and has so far bounced.
vM to 6794.25 has formed.



The Dow needs to retake 26200 to null vM's lower.



XLF looks 50/50 either way.



The Dollar is fighting between two patterns. 
VW to 99.890 and vM to 92.010
Shorter term vW 97.670 is close to hitting.



Gold still trading sideways



Copper triggered vW to 3.7840



Oil has small vM to 53.13 triggered.
If that on works it will likely form a vM sub $50.



Bonds have vW to 162'08 and 164'25 which is close to triggering
which will likely be bad for stocks.



Sunday, March 3, 2019

Week Ending 3/1/19

Stocks continue to grind higher.  Oil looks like it wants the $63 area.  Bonds took a hit the last several days.
Note: Not a lot has changed on some charts so refer to previous blog for them if omitted.



ES has vW to 2820.25 triggered.



The russel hit vM to 1572 and has formed a vM to 1538.3
Above 1603.6 nulls.



The Nasdaq hit it's vW targte price 7133.25
Expecting resistance at vW 7133.25



Copper triggered vW to 3.7840



Bonds fell the last several days and are sitting just above a gap at 156.06.
Also vM's to 156'01 and 154'15 are triggered.
Could see a bounce from the gap, but price is well below the neckline for vM's.  
If doesn't bounce from these price targets, expecting new highs in the stock indexes.



Lumber futures were unable to bounce from vM 391.9
vM to 353.4 is triggered.
