Thursday 2/7/19. Channel Formed Intraday: Nasdaq

The index dropped by -0.4% or -26.8 points. Since 02/05/1971 the index made 428 similar moves on a percentage basis. After those moves, the next day’s…

     Average gain was 0.8% on 218 occasions.

     Average loss was -1.0% on 210 occasions.

Expect the index to close higher 50.9% of the time.

Weekly, since inception on 6/14/2011:

     The prediction of the index closing higher has been right 159/288 or 55.2% of the time.

     The prediction of the index closing lower has been right 49/98 or 50.0% of the time.

Since I post this the night before, check how the futures are trading before market open. Large moves can affect the opening direction.

I show a picture of the Nasdaq composite on the 5-minute scale.

At AB (bottom of pic, on the left), a double bottom appears which confirms. The index makes a strong push higher, easily fulfilling the measure rule for the
chart pattern.

Today (Wednesday), the index formed a down-sloping channel, with the index ending the session near the top of the channel.

It’s possible that the index will push through the top trendline and soar. However, it could also bounce off that trendline and drop back down.

The pre-market-open futures will give a good indication of which alternative it happen.

The following table shows where Fibonacci retrace values of the day’s high-low range are plus pivot points, calculated on the Nasdaq composite, sorted by value. When several are near each other (small differences),
the area might act as support or resistance.

Wednesday 2/6/19. A Look At Indicators

Picture of the chart pattern indicator

This is a picture of the chart pattern indicator on the daily scale. The indicator is the line chart below a chart of the S&P 500 composite.

The chart pattern indicator, as the thin blue line near the bottom of the chart shows, has been bumping its head on the ceiling for over a month now.

That corresponds from the lift-off of the index from the December low.

Notice the brief dip in the indicator (late January) when the index moved sideways. I thought a retrace would start then, but it didn’t. The index moved sideways for about a week then has been moving
higher since.

Such a high reading suggests there’s nowhere to go but down. But that’s been true for a month now and the index has continued to rise (for the most part).

Picture of the percent down indicators

The red line is the percentage of stocks at least 20% below their 1-year high (plotted upside down). The blue line is the average percentage drop of stocks below their 1-year high (plotted upside down).

Shown as a red line on the above chart…

On Tuesday, 46% of stocks in my database are in bear market territory (down at least 20% from their 1-year high).

A week ago, it was 56%.

The fewest was 21% on 07/09/2018.

And the most was 80% on 12/24/2018.

Shown as a blue line on the above chart…

The 496 stocks in my database are down an average of 20% from their yearly high.

A week ago, the average was 24%.

The peak was 12% on 06/12/2018.

And the bottom was 33% on 12/24/2018.

Both lines continue to show improvement as the above numbers tell. The red line has made a significant recovery from a week ago, up ten percentage points. It used to be that a big move was two
points.

The lines are bullish, but maybe that’s bad news, too. The index can’t continue rising forever.

Still, I think it has a few more days of moving up before it drops.

Tuesday 2/5/19. Intraday Market Direction: Dow

The index climbed by 0.7% or 175.48 points. Since 10/01/1928 the index made 669 similar moves on a percentage basis. After those moves, the next day’s…

     Average gain was 0.6% on 369 occasions.

     Average loss was -0.6% on 300 occasions.

Expect the index to close higher 55.2% of the time.

Weekly, since inception on 6/14/2011:

     The prediction of the index closing higher has been right 180/299 or 60.2% of the time.

     The prediction of the index closing lower has been right 36/71 or 50.7% of the time.

Since I post this the night before, check how the futures are trading before market open. Large moves can affect the opening direction.

Picture of the Dow industrials on the 5 minute scale.

$ $ $

I show a picture of the Dow industrials on the 5-minute scale, but only 5 days instead of the usual 10.

Why? Because I wanted to focus on the move circled in green.

I drew a red line across the top of a pattern that looks like a Big W except the inbound trend is upward, not downward. So that’s unusual.

Pattern AB forms a small double bottom which results in a huge gain.

At day’s end, the index spiked higher in the closing minutes. Wow. Nice move. I haven’t checked for the reason for the move, but there has to be one. The question which comes to mind is this:
What happens next?

Sigh. Wish I had the answer. My guess is the index will continue to climb tomorrow, not because of the above probabilities say so, but because the pattern
resembles a busted double top. My feeling about busted patterns is that they lead to big gains. Not all the time, mind you, because that would mean
making money would be too easy.

Monday 2/4/19. Market Monday: MMU Throwback in S&P

My Prediction

Picture of the S and P on the daily scale.

I show the S&P 500 index on the daily scale.

Shown is what I expect the index to do over the coming weeks.

I expect the index to power higher, reaching A. Point A will be met by overhead resistance setup by the green trendline. That resistance will push the index lower.
This might occur in concert with Trump shutting down the government or declaring an emergency. On this scale, though, I expect a downturn to happen later this week and not in mid February.

The index will return to the corrective phase of a measured move up. That is the index dropping to B, coinciding with the meager retrace (circled) I expected but which
didn’t really materialize.

After reaching bottom at B, look for the index to recover. I show that recovery as point C, but don’t think that the index will rise that far. I was more concerned with direction than extent.

Lots of things can change this picture, so keep that in mind. Plus, I’m frequently wrong.

Swing and Position Traders: Chart Pattern Indicator

As of 02/01/2019, the CPI had:

6 bearish patterns,

40 bullish patterns,

264 patterns waiting for breakout.

The CPI signal is 87.0%, which is
bullish (>= 65%).

The chart pattern indicator is bullish
with 2 of 3 full triangles showing (). Additional triangles are a measure
of strength with solid triangles meaning a more reliable signal than half triangles.

Swing Traders: Pivot Points

The following is based on an SFO article in December 2004 by John Seekinger, titled, “Take a
two-dimensional approach.” He offers these tips.

Index S2 S1 Pivot R1 R2
Dow Industrials (^DJI): Daily   24,869   24,967   25,080   25,177   25,291 
Weekly   23,991   24,528   24,860   25,397   25,730 
Monthly   21,744   23,404   24,298   25,959   26,853 
S&P500 (^GSPC): Daily   2,687   2,697   2,707   2,717   2,726 
Weekly   2,590   2,648   2,682   2,741   2,775 
Monthly   2,350   2,528   2,622   2,801   2,895 
Nasdaq (^IXIC): Daily   7,213   7,238   7,269   7,295   7,326 
Weekly   6,901   7,083   7,193   7,374   7,484 
Monthly   6,162   6,713   7,008   7,559   7,854 
  • Seekinger doesn’t look at the range of S2 to R2 as support and resistance levels. Rather, he considers them oversold (S) and overbought (R) areas.
  • S2 to R2 range of values across daily, weekly, and monthly periods: If two values are close together then they lend more significance to the area.
  • If the market trends on day 1, the odds rise tremendously that the market will be range bound between daily S1 and daily R1 the next day.
  • In a quiet market when traders are waiting for an important earnings announcement or economic report, look for daily R1 and S1 levels to hold and for the market to return to the daily pivot.
  • A move outside of daily R1 or S1 usually does not mean a breakout.
  • The odds suggest that the entire week’s price action will remain between weekly R2 and S2.
  • Avoid going long when the market moves above weekly R2 (it’s overbought) and avoid going short when price moves below weekly S2 (oversold).
  • Consider going short at weekly R1 or long at weekly S1 with a profit objective of the weekly pivot.
  • Consider going long at weekly S2 or short at weekly R2 with a profit objective of weekly S1 or R1, respectively.

Here are the formulas:

Pivot point: P = (H + L + C)/3

First resistance level: R1 = (2 * P) – L

First support level: S1 = (2 * P) – H)

Second resistance level: R2 = P + (R1 – S1)

Second support level: S2 = P – (R1 – S1)

H = high price , L=low price, C=closing price

Consecutive Price Trends

Index  Consecutive
Closes So Far 
%  Comments 
 Dow industrials (^DJI)  6 weeks up  8.7%   Expect a reversal soon. 
  2 months up  42.1%   Expect a random direction. 
 S & P 500 (^GSPC)  1 week up  47.2%   Expect a random direction. 
  2 months up  46.0%   Expect a random direction. 
 Nasdaq composite (^IXIC)  6 weeks up  6.1%   Expect a reversal soon. 
  1 month down  27.2%   The trend may continue. 

How long can an index close higher (or lower) each day? The adjacent table shows how often consecutive up or down closes occur in the indices, based on the most recent trend of closes.

Low percentages suggest the market is overdue to turn (think of it as the likelihood that next week or next month will continue the trend, based on historical performance). Values of 50% mean random, so most percentages will be lower.

The analysis uses data going back 10 years for weekly percentages and 25 years for monthly percentages (or the start of data, whichever is more recent). Any unchanged closing price is interpreted as the end of the string of consecutive up or down closes.

Earnings, Chart Patterns & Industries

Earnings season is either underway or should be starting soon. The sessions could be more volatile.

 Found  Chart Pattern Name
61 Double Bottom, Adam and Adam
14 Head-and-shoulders bottom
7 Triangle, symmetrical
5 Pipe bottom
5 Double Bottom, Eve and Adam
4 Double Bottom, Adam and Eve
3 Flag, high and tight
3 Dead-cat bounce
3 Rising wedge
3 Triple bottom

Large numbers of bullish or bearish chart patterns can signal short- to intermediate-term market trends (many bullish chart patterns can mean an uptrend will continue, for example).
However, please realize that the short-term price trend could have changed since the pattern was discovered (this is especially true of pipe tops or bottoms, which are weekly patterns).

The 10 types of most frequently appearing chart patterns in the stocks, indices, and long-only exchange traded funds I follow during the last month are shown in the adjacent table.

Friday 2/1/19. Pattern Trading Setups for the Weekend.

Go to Table.

You can find setups based on a Fibonacci retrace by clicking on the link.

Click the link for a list of symbols from the table.

The following patterns were found manually, so the results may differ from those found using Patternz.

There were 14 patterns found this week (excluding pipe bottoms; pipe tops and bottoms are found looking back 2 weeks) out of 598 stocks searched, or 2.3%. Based on the percentage, the stock market is
trending
since few consolidation patterns appear.

Excluding ETFs, there were 6 bullish chart patterns this week and 4 bearish ones with any remaining (4) being undecided.
The ratio of bullish to bearish patterns suggests the market is hinting of a coming bullish (up) turn.

In the table below, the red and green colors are based on the historical breakout direction for the associated chart pattern. If a high and tight flag appears, the start and end dates highlight the flagpole only and not the flag.

Definitions

RS is relative strength (where 1 is best). For other definitions, see the glossary.

’Breakout is upward/downward 100% of the time’ means price breaks out up/down by definition, not by statistically measuring the rate.

All numbers assume a bull market and are based on the breakout direction that occurs most often.
