The banks and brokers have taken different paths down, but are holding up well during this down draft. Continue reading

Short term the market swing chart is not is great position. I continue to expect (or will not be surprised) by a move to SP500 Index (SPX) 1150. But the situation this fall looks much better. Using the Value Line Arithmetic Index (VLE) as the state of the total market we can see that price and time are in a favor. Continue reading

I believe the VLE is the best long term chart I look at. The VLE is telling us that the average stock in the market is much stronger than it appears. Continue reading

Weekly outlooks shows the market not only is ready to move up now - it must it the rally is to continue. Continue reading

The Gann angles of the range from 2007-2008 and 2002-2007 point to SPX 1260 to 1248 as support. Continue reading

Today I want to look at the various time frames of the VLE. First the long term range from 1990 to 2002. Notice how price never went parabolic as the Nasdaq did in 1998-2000. Therefore it did not really correct until the summer of 2002 when it had a nice shakeout down to the Continue reading

The Russell 2000 Index is moving up strong off the July low. Price started up the 8:1 Gann angle and have moved to the 4:1 angle. Price is now at the 50% price retrace which is a natural place for a pause. Continue reading

The Powershares DB Multi-Sector Commodity Trust Agriculture Fund (DBA) is nearing the 1:2 ascending Gann angle at the 50% price retrace. The Ag stocks have been under pressure for several weeks and are setup to bounce from here. Continue reading

The Nasdaq 100 (NDX) remains range bound after today. Price action was very positive and volume was good. The SP500 Index (SPX) swing chart action has price below the day six high - even after todays big move. I assume that the open will take out this high. But where they close them is more important than where they open them. Continue reading

Today is July 16th 2008 and we had a large volume up day. It remains to be seen if this was a short term reflex reaction on the 52 week anniversary, or if a sustained move up occurs. Continue reading

The Housing Index (HGX) recently completed a 100% time cycle of the bull market move from 2002 to 2005. Price ended the cycle at around a 75% retrace of the bull market range. Continue reading

Google (GOOG) is working off the previous move in a neutral position. Price is basing at the 25% retrace line after visiting the 50% line at 1/8 the time cycle. Continue reading

Not much to discuss tonight. Low volume action around the 1×1 Gann Angles of the March to May range. Yesterday was 90 days from the March low and nothing is happening. The SPX range from March has the 50% time line on June 20th with 1348 as the 50% price retrace (50/50 point). Continue reading

Today’s move was on lower volume on all indices I watch. Volume could come in later … or not. A short squeeze would kick off higher and that could bring in panic buying. Continue reading

This week I am going to walk through the dynamic SPX charts (available at The SPX Charts link on the right). The intent is to provide the thought process I go through to determine the status of the market. Continue reading

As a follow up to a previous post on the Square of 90, I want to show an current example of the square in use. As discussed previously, the “Y” axis of price is arbitrary and time is the important aspect of the Gann Square of 90. Continue reading

Unless this market is much stronger than I think, the QQQQ looks like it needs to move to the $46-47 area before another leg up. That could happen in one day. And could happen interday and end the day with a new high. Continue reading
