Transcription

1 Long-Term trends for each index remains up and nothing of late has changed that!!! Each index is testing some form of overhead resistance. These are price points where bulls will say No Thank You to selling pressure taking place. NOT a place where a bull would want to see weakness start taking place.

2 RIGHT CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE CHART ABOVE- Above is our update of the Fibonacci breakouts above 161% Extension levels, based upon 2007 highs/2009 lows. So far, pretty much clean upside action after using old 161% resistance level as new support. As mentioned on the prior page, bulls don t want to see bearish reversals taking place just under long-term resistance line at (2), which could be starting this week.

3 1-Year Fibonacci 161% Extension Level in play!!! For the past two years, the Power of the Pattern has been sharing how important the 161% extension level off the 2007 highs/2009 lows looked to be for the Dow and S&P (prior chart). Below looks closely at the 161% Extension level, based upon 2016 weekly closing highs/lows. RIGHT CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE CHART ABOVE As mentioned above, two potential Doji Star topping patterns took place the prior two weeks, followed by a large reversal pattern this week at (3). Again, not a price point where bulls want to see bearish reversal taking place.

4 Nasdaq Long-Term Channel Below looks at the NDX 100 going back to the lows in 2010 RIGHT CLICK TO ENLARGE CHART ABOVE The trend remains up in inside of 6-year rising channel (1) Softness a few weeks back took the index down to testing horizontal and rising support at (2) which held and a rally to new highs then followed. Weekly reversal took place last week in the NDX and weakness has followed. Not a place bulls want to see selling taking place.

6 Germany (DAX)- Risk On positive message continues RIGHT CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE BELOW France (CAC-40)- RIGHT CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE CHART BELOW France and Germany are both kissing the underside of dual resistance in each chart above. Would send VERY concerning message to bulls if both turn weak at this resistance points!

7 1999 & 2008 Repeat By Transports? Transports in 1999 broke above 1998 highs and appeared to be heading much higher until.. a reversal took place, support broke and the index fell hard (50%+). Transports in 2007 broke above 2006 highs and appeared to be heading much higher until. a reversal took place, support broke and the index fell hard (50%+). We ve shared this chart several times in the past and below is our current update. The index could be creating a pattern currently, that is very similar to the highs in 1999 and I ve said this before and I will say this again.this pattern doesn t matter until it matters. The odds are low that it will repeat and be meaningful. If the read would happen to be correct, we all know it could become very important. Bulls would not want to see support give way at (3) with momentum!!!

8 Equal Weight (RSP) and S&P 500 comparison since 2009 lows. RIGHT CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE CHART ABOVE Risk On trade wants both of these moving higher together. RSP continues to out perform SPY since 2009 levels. RSP has gained 90%+ more than SPY since the 2009 lows. Positive price action taking place for many months. If rising support in each at (1) would be taken out to the downside, would send concerning message to bulls.

11 Global Dashboard Chart Patterns- S&P and Russell both kissed underside of overhead resistance of late and have declined a couple of percent. Russell is nearing its rising 200MA line.

Our ideal circumstance to go long is an out of favor investment plus any or all of the following: a support line, a falling wedge, at the bottom of a channel or a key Fibonacci support level. The opposite is true for investments that are in favor. Our ideal circumstance to short (score on defense) requires any or all of the following: up against resistance, a rising wedge, at the top of a rising channel or a key Fibonacci resistance level...just because public opinion is popular on a asset/investment, is not enough evidence for taking action. Delivery time for updates:. Our emphasis is on timeliness of quality opportunities over timeliness of updates. We may need Monday to gather current information, chart patterns for opportunities, if any, then we will put together the report.
