I am a stubborn man and I remain extremely bearish on the market.. now more than ever. eye on that volume. I think we're in a rolling topping pattern.. it could stay in this range longer than I expect but I do not think we're going to have another 2017 run straight up.. Economic data I predict will soon display a slowing. There's a lot of room for concern over the next 12 months.. not to mention an election.
Note
at the close of last weeks weekly candle the volume was exactly on that volume trend. However, it doesn't reflect correctly now because we've started a new weekly candle and that volume appears to have fallen below- it will not be this low at the close of the next weekly candle print- it will probably be very similar to the previous week's candle. Note
I had an old SPY/ES chart on renko that I wish I'd payed more attention to. I had an outrageous target of SPX 3300.. I didn't think I'd see the day.. I'm not sure if market goes straight down or makes another go up around 3300. I think a good target for a correction would be around the 297x-300x range.. I think it would find some support there for a bounce but I cannot be bullish on market up here. I ultimately would love to see a 30+% correction this year.. I may turn bullish down there:
Note
..a little messy but take a close look at the vertical yellow lines. I drew those to emphasize the importance of those two sine wave/price cycles aligning with one another. These were significant events where we had a 10% drop in early 2018, a 20% drop in end of 2018.. and now what lies ahead? I'm not suggesting this will be a 30% drop.. It might be a 5-10% drop.. or just a minor bump on this uptrend but it is ahead.. Let's enjoy the ride either way: Note
not much has changed-I think we're on the verge of something big. I keep expecting to wake up one morning with a 20% drop in the market.. It's certainly possible but I also would not be surprised to see spx/es at 3500+ Tops are extremely difficult because of the large size and rolling nature. Market bottoms are very different with very sharp moves and retracements.. HOLD FAST because we've all had fair warning Note
significant and historic opportunities upon us. Did we top? I'm holding longer term put options on market with a heavy position in vix call options. Today paid back a great deal but is this a dip or the start of something BIG? A 20% overnight drop in the market wouldn't surprise me any more than a continuation of this rally to 3500-3600. Below is an interesting price/fractal I've been following for a little while with a similar path. Note
I've remained net short market through the drop with puts on spy and calls in vxx. We *might* (might, might, might, might) be in a bounce zone.. but I'm not dependent on that. I've added some calls in spy to to cushion any upside rally and would consider adding to short position if spy managed to rally to new highs again.. again, I'm not dependent on that.. we could just keep sliding down the slope. Note
we lost 50% of the 2019-20 gains in a weekNote
I'm not convinced we've dropped far enough. I'd like to see ES land on that lower moving average around 261x-263x. I would consider some meatier call options if we dropped in that range for a rally into spring. If we do not hit that level I'll wait until april-May to short the index again and go long vxx (vix etf) options. a 15% drop in the market last week was not just a rogue panic/flush. I believe this is the tip of the iceberg in a complete trend change for a while: Disclaimer
