Post Close Charts & Musings (SPX)

15 MIN ES

Today turned out to be quite and eventful day, from the MF global blow out to the Bank of Japan intervention to devalue the JPY against the dollar.. because Japan is indeed and exporting nation.

Beyond the news id like everyone to focus level at which the intervention took place in regards to the ES_F. All the powers to be understand the correlations of our markets and ill be damned if they did not pre meditate this "intervention".

The meditation was hit his market where it will cause the most ruckus, that was via dollar. Arb desks blew their positions out and MF  global happened to go bankrupt. There are no coincidences. Just keep in mind technical levels in the marked do line up with unforeseen events. The market is seemingly random and indeed it is when the game is not

1286 is the big upside resistance level.. over we could see 1350. Second scenario we could pivot back down to the 1200 level.

Easy to Spot and Trade Pattern in Apple this Morning (AAPL)

Im sorry this is not "actionable" and no i did not see this pattern until i woke up from my nap because apple is not a pretty woman to me most days. She can look real hot some days and you take her to Mastro's and some days you dont even want to take her to 7 eleven.

Anyway notice the edge here... perfect formation, the prior trend was down in the pre market.. so clearly there was a seller before your algo's were switched on. they created this magnificant pattern.. putt it in your pattern bank and remember.... when the price nears the apex there usually will be movement opposite of the prior pattern, usually in the direction of the prior move before the price reached into the catheti of the triangle... 


now this can be actionable in the future. 

What only a 10 point S&P range today..? WHAT? (SPX)

heck i welcomed today price action.. i got some sleep and was able to take a step back and look and what we have done the past month without worrying about the ES moving 15 handles while i go grab K cup of poison coffee. anyway you can see for yourself, the range is about 10 handles. 1184-1172. If we break above of below we could see continuation in the break out direction if not. snoozer into close.

Tonights S&P500 Chart. Post Insanity Rally (SPY)

5 min ES 

notice the CLOSING print volume of over 139,000 contracts. thats HUGE. i would expect to see some profit taking into asia open and into europe.. the dollar got rocked today, it usually has a reactionary move back up..

--That being said things have got a bit weird in the last week, lots of traders blown out. lots of traders are drunk on profits which in all honesty were derived from an offerless market.. all beta follows the wave... except NFLX.

last time we ripped up to these levels nearly non stop, we had a violent move down in a swath of profit taking.. expect this. keep your stops tight if you long and always protect profits like a boss.

Australian Stock Exchange Closes Due To Glitch (ASX)

DOOH!!!!

(Bloomberg) Trading on Australia’s share market was halted for almost four hours by a technical glitch today, just days before ASX Ltd., operator of the bourse, faces competition from the opening of its first foreign-owned rival. 

The problem happened just minutes after the start of trading, depriving local investors of the opportunity to react immediately to a breakthrough in Europe’s debt talks, which sent the benchmark MSCI Asia Pacific Index up 2.5 percent. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index jumped 2.5 percent after it reopened at 2 p.m. in Sydney.

 yeah glitch my ass.

This morning's S&P500 Chart (SPX)

UPDATE showing break over 1265 .. looks like 1270 is next... notice how the apex of the wedge reached a fairly tight point and the price broke out of the condensing channel..

1263.25 is the high so far.. 1260 now support.. 1255 is the lower line in the sand IMO. if this level breaks we could see some profit taking down to the 1245 level as we are up 1.88% on some bandaid of a 50% bullshit greek debt write down. More stupid bastards getting rewarded for crashing their Ferraris into wall.

Tonight's 4 hour S&P500 Chart (SPY)

4 hour ES

Over 1250 we go to 1300.. if we fail, we could see a test of 1300, followed by 1190.. Granted a new channel of 1300/1200 will be formed if 1300 is met. What is moving us higher is still short covering and buy programs pushing index markets up into buy stop areas. there is still not much average retail interest as you can see by the volume histogram at the bottom of the page. Todays volume was very low.

Are we reaching a point of exhaustion, or will a new group of shorts get run over into the the 1300 level? either case could play out. be prepared for either scenario. it is obviously the 1100 level is a level which see's huge volume when it is toyed with which makes this rally somewhat believable because of the amount of volume which was triggered at this level. Will there be enough good news to keep the ES over the 1300/1400 level ? will the next phase of QE take us into record high territory as inflation really takes hold? this could be the case if the fed gets their way and europe sweeps itself into 60's levels of economic growth. All bets are off.

ES 5 min.. Lowest volume in WEEKS.

If you think i am shorting this market every day all day you are wrong. all sell signals have been false thus far. There is a form of QE going on behind the curtain beyond operation twist, though we as a group of market participants have not yet been informed.

Think stabilizing bids and increased overnight volatility with regular session prices usually only circling around the overnight prices.

Steve Wynn Rant from Q2 Conference call (WYNN)

Originally from Zerohedge,  thought i would pass this on to my readers. As i am agreeance with Mr. Wynn.

highlight below...

Mr. Wynn - " I am watching my employees standard of living drop off because of deficits. I think that the American public is beginning to make the connection between deficits and their own loss of the standard of living....


"Rich people are now being defined by the administration as people who make a million dollars. Well, most of the businesses in America, other than giant corporations, are paying taxes under chapter S, partnerships or individual proprietorships. So somebody shows that they make $3 million or $2 million this year and they pay personal taxes on that money. They subtract their cost of living and then what's left, and that does not show that probably 25 or 30% of their profits are tied up in accounts receivable or inventory, stuff that they can't spend or get their hands on, but to support their business and their employment, and then they take whatever is left, these so-called millionaires, and they open up another shop or another office and that, that is the only known engine of growth of the United States of America, and we have an administration that is fanning the fires that this is somehow undeserved, profligate millionaires, and it is worse than hypocrisy. It is totally dishonest."

"But I say right now that the Democratic agenda of spend and bribe the public has bankrupt this country, and until it stops, the citizens of this country are in for more hard times.

And fancy speeches aren't going to change that.

Only a fundamental realization that citizens are going to have to take real, sophisticated responsibility for how we allocate the resources of this country"
