This Week's Gravity Points & Expected Move ($35) & Trend SDNo call this week. The Breadth readings on the indicators I follow are all still rising. The Sentiment indicators I follow are all beneath an extreme reading. The Technical indicators I follow are all showing resilience despite their overbought levels which only confirms the trend. The Economic indicators I follow are quite mixed, some are turning from bearish to bullish (ex: Baltic Dry Index) and some are turning from bullish to bearish (ex: Retail Sales/Unemployment). I'm adding a new condition to help assess calls on a week-by-week basis and that's the Trend. I have the trend channels here which show +/- 1, 2, and 3 Standard Deviation difference from the equilibrium. I'm just going to test this out for the next several weeks to see if it helps me, and hopefully if it helps anybody else. Anyone that's been away from Stats 101 for a while, remember that 68% of the time price should remain within 1 SD. 95% of the time price should remain inside 2 SD. Migrating more than 50% of the way or breaking the 3rd SD will signal/confirm a trend change as it only occurs 0.03% of the time. Last week we had a significant breach to the upside of the Expected Move. This is a new shift from the previous several weeks where price had stayed inside of the Expected Moves. To me, this says that the options marketplace 1. Got it wrong, and 2. That this next week is less reliable. There's several targets that I find noteworthy to the upside - The Gravity Point at $2,811 coincides with this week's Expected Move. This also may run into the +1 SD. Please Comment on posts if you have something to say. I'm very open to different perspectives or general comments and it actually helps me quite a bit in determining the value I'm bringing to the community. Liking the post also gives me feedback if you don't have anything to say. Right now I'm averaging about 2 Comments a week and about 5 Likes. I want watching my technical analysis to be like watching Lionel Messi play soccer. I seldom expect any sort of attention and that's not my goal here either, rather I'd like to add another individual or two to my team. This move is reminiscent of early January 2018. A relentless move to the upside. However, in this move in 2019 has been even more of a relentless move. We're looking at a marketplace that has rallied from $2,350 to $2,750 in about a month and a half. About +15%. People get into the party late. This party has already happened. If you're already invested / still invested - There's no reason to get out. Be on guard. If you're looking to get in this long - You missed the party. You're going to get burned If you're looking to get in this short - You're fighting the weight of the evidence. You're going to get burned Goodluck next week Gentlemen - RH Last Week's Post

Just an idea for the medium term...I've been unable to convince myself of either the bullish or bearish cases for the medium term. There are valid arguments for both sides. I could very well see us zig zagging sideways for several months in a symmetrical triangle before setting a new ath or breaking the December low. The outer diagonal green lines are part of the long term channel formed after the 08 low. The middle green diagonal line is an upper bound of a secondary channel drawn with the bottom diagonal. It's important to remember that this idea is just speculation, and the pattern won't exist until there is a lower high and higher low, forming the triangle. Tips are appreciated if this plays out and helps you get ahead of the market in the coming months: ETH: 0x13cd45d7d282ee0ee4635645cce2e2a566d9bed8

Next Week's Expected Move ($47) + Gravity Points + Economic DataNext week will be perhaps the most important week of the year. Given the number and size of companies reporting, I can't emphasize enough to keep your seatbelts on. Thursday is the biggest earnings day. Important Economic Events that happened last week: 1. The Economic Forum in Davos was downright pessimistic. Maybe a little bit overdone, but still these are CEO's, hedge fund managers, ect. all gathering in one lump sum all coming out with one idea, and that was that 2019 has got a lot of pessimism to it. 2. The week began with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and for those of you who don't know the IMF came out and downgraded 2019 Global Growth. This is the 2nd time they've came out and downgraded global growth. 3. The largest semiconductor company - INTC - came out with bad Earnings. Semiconductor's are a leading indicator of the Technology sector. And it shouldn't be anything new when I say that the Technology sector leads the broader stock market. It's really not just Intel. I can't really remember any other time in my career where so many CEO's are displaying so much uncertainty in their projections moving forward. 4. China is pumping serious liquidity into their system. They're out there with a firehose just spraying massive massive liquidity all over the place like there's no tomorrow. As a trader, this makes me nervous. When China is spraying liquidity like that, that means they're seeing major major headwinds. Take it for what you will, this is all just my interpretation. All I know is that when you start hearing a week or two of discussions on the mainstream news about the market heading for new all time highs, it's probably time to put your seatbelt back on. Goodluck out there next week gentlemen, RH Last Week's Post: Beautiful example of why I use this on a week-to-week basis.

$DIA Make or BreakMajor test pending for $DIA of upper downward channel. Each leg down was followed by a .786 FIB retracement- the latest leg being no different. .50 Channel FIB acted as prior support and is a good first target for shorts. Just how much we overshot to the downside in DEC, we've likely now overshot to the upside. Stochastics started to diverge a week ago. Sitting at BRN (Big Round Number) / Psych Resistance of 25K. $SPX & $QQQ both hovering at D1 200EMA. $XLF & $XRT failed to breakout of range. $XLY & $XLY brokeout with very weak strength. Have to imagine we see profit-taking either into the weekend or next week. Feeling like this week is going to end with a sideways-drift, possible lower and folks are going to re-balance beginning in FEB.

TUP Becoming Buyout Candidate...?After an abysmal earnings report and subsequent drop of over 25% today, shares of TUP are becoming a potential takeover target. Who might buy? It could make sense for several companies: P&G (PG) could expand its portfolio of product offerings, as could Colgate-Palmolive (CL), but it could also make sense for Amazon (AMZN), as their endeavor in to fresh foods could benefit. Five years ago, shares of TUP were nearly $100, but today at just about $28, they're down over 70%, which for shareholders, is catastrophic. Clearly TUP management isn't cutting it, so there's going to have to be a shakeup there, or more preferably, an outright sell of the company to more capable enterprises like those I've listed. It wouldn't be hard to get funding by any of those aforementioned giants. I'm not suggesting jumping in today, but give it time to settle and look to pick up some shares for a long-term view or if you're like me, some long-dated calls to minimize capital outlays.

Next Week Expected Move ($41) + Gravity PointsThis is the most spectacular rally I've ever traded. We cruised above last week's $46 expected move. Actual Move? $74 So we broke outside the expected move, and yet this coming week's expected move is only $41? What's the deal? Well it's only a 4 day trading week. So the options market did increase their volatility. $41/4 days = $10.25 vs. $46/5 = $9.20 Despite Monday being closed for the U.S., keep a very close eye on China Sunday night as they're releasing GDP numbers.. Update: They were the worst in the last 28 years. Check out my trading Partner's page for additional ideas and updates: www.tradingview.com It would appear my post was still set on Private vs. Public. I was looking for my typical 5-6 views but 0 seemed out of the ordinary. 30 Min Chart / Unpublished Post Last Week's Post: Chart Dump for Review:

Dow Jones - Bear Rally Completing!Not financial advise. Do your own research. The ideas shared here are the personal opinions of the BitDoctor team. Trade at your risk. I'm not going to get into any highly complicated fundamentals here other than this. Unless something happens next week that surprises investors and the world, this bear market rally is nearing completion. The stock market is heavily traded based on algorithms and we're sitting at a very important Friday close. We're sitting right at $240 which is a 50% retrace from the proposed wave 3 as drawn. If I am right, we're going to pivot early this week and maybe even on Monday and start to head down again. This will likely not be met with some hopeful retail investors trying to catch a dip. It's quite possible DIA will bounce up to $245 (or even further... nobody knows for sure). What we do know is this: We capped out at ~$270 We rejected and bounced at $241 We had a failed rally that lost steam at $263 We have completely failed and fell to $216. Surprising? Not for me. We rallied to where we are now... so what next? Just a simple fibonacci based on the proposed 1-2 gets us our bounce at the 1.618 and a rally as expected. We really shouldn't move much higher than this otherwise we'll overlap wave 1 which really changes things quite a bit. Assuming we pivot here, our target (could ptoentially be several weeks or months away) is going to be around the 2.618 from that first 1-2 pivot which lands us at the almighty $200 mark. Trade safely my friends.

Nasdaq Rally will continue, target 6700Since the December stock market crash, the sentiments on long-term economy growth in investment community soured, so much so that pundits asserted that recession would strike US economy in late 2019. The political impasse over government shutdown exacerbate the selloff. After the Fed placated the stock market and business community in Jan 4, with Jarome Powell in his speech showing some resilience on interest rate hike and promising the Fed would be market-sensitive. It appeared that President trump's belief that Fed created market turmoil and uncertainty, at last, mounted pressure in monetary policy. Other good news were supporting this rally as well, that trade talks was reopened and good job statistics is showing the economy and labor market remain robust. That being said, if there's no major ominous news or statistics indicating the economy is deteriorating , the market will comfortably consolidated and push higher afterward. With respect to OANDA:NAS100USD and NASDAQ:QQQ the key resistance is 6700 , which contained heavy trading volume amid the selloff in December.

Nasdaq short term analysis: possible rally after Apple-led slumpNews came out that the US and China are starting negotiation on trade dispute, and Asia markets are mostly up despite slump in US stock market overnight. With regards to China, the economy is rapidly deteriorating , with December PMI flashing below 50, the level that defines contraction and expansion. The US is the largest export country for China, so that the Chinese government is incentivized to make a deal with President Trump. The US, on the contrary, stock market is the pillar of capital market and personal wealth. The sever dropping in Nasdaq and SP500 will probably mount considerable measure to President Trump , as he considered the booming stock market as one of his great " achievements ". In light of recent turmoil and uncertainties, I'd say the US would also like to make a deal to prop up market sentiment. Technically, the recent recovery is just a short covering practice. I expect more selling taking place, once the economy indicator worsen or trade talks run short of expectations.
