DOW JONES Don't get confused.It's starting a new multiyear rallyThis is a chart we've looked into in the recent past for Dow Jones (DJI) but amidst the recent uncertainty, we think it is necessary to refresh in order to keep things into a longer term perspective.
The time-frame is the 1W (weekly) where Dow is seen forming an Arc pattern on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), which since the 2009 housing crisis bottom, has formed every time it corrected on the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) and rebounded (excluding of course the March 2020 COVID crash). On both of these occasions, this Arc pattern was an Accumulation Phase before a new multi-year rally.
The 1W RSI is also on a familiar pattern with those prior fractals, forming an Arc construct on a Lower Highs trend-line. Is this the final accumulation before Dow starts a new multi-year rally?

Defended, 14 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ Equities finished lower on Monday trade. If you had shut your eyes and ears over the weekend and arrived right now after market close, you’d think the market performance at the index level was just like any usual day in the past year. It was volatile, but it was certainly nothing extraordinary. In that respect, the regulatory authorities have done their job to “calm” markets. However, the movements in the regional banks and hyper volatility in Bonds tells us it was anything but ordinary.
➤ S&P500 price fell but was defended at the congestion zone that includes the level at which the year started. VIX hit 30 at my panic level and then receded. I expect things to settle down for a little while until market participants fully digest the ramifications of the policy changes and post mortem of the last 72hrs. There is however a slew of economic data this week starting with CPI Tuesday!
➤ I took off half of my short positions to lock-in profits given the above price action.
➤ In the short-term, prices are in a downtrend having established lower highs and lower lows. In the medium-term, the uptrend remains in tact although barely. A move below the 22nd Dec low would set a lower low and void the uptrend based on classical definition of an uptrend.
➤ Conclusion: Lots of volatility means lots of opportunity. Good luck All!
NOTES: $BTC and crypto reacted very well in contrast. Small cap continues to underperform.
Technical Expectations, 12 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ Most of you don't come to me for my thoughts on the fundamental aspects of the market environment and I don't usually offer them. There is however one particular aspect I think is worthy of mention.
➤ By now most of you should have read about the fundamental state of affairs in regards to SVB (Silicon Valley Bank). There are huge ramifications in regards to the further potential fall-out.
➤ If the fear or actual contagion takes place with similarly positioned banks or financial institutions then the next "target" would once again entangle the crypto space. Silvergate was the pre-cursor. But the "BIG" one or the "last man standing" is Signature Bank through its "Signet" service.
➤ Signet is as I understand it the basic backbone or gateway of fiat-to-crypto capital flows. It is the infrastructure for capital movement between the two worlds. If Signature Bank gets into trouble, the knock-on effects on crypto might be crippling at least in the short-term. Let's face it, crypto is not yet mature enough to be it's own self sustaining ecosystem.
Anyway that's my take on this matter. I stand corrected.
➤ Back to the technicals, although we saw continued selling in equities on Friday, there was some late buying at end of day and into after-hours trading. I cannot tell you if this was dumb money bargin/dip buying or smart money taking advantage of the sharp drop.
➤ The VIX spiked to 28 before receding. For me, the panic level in equity markets is for a move in the VIX to 30 or beyond. We didn't get there. Of course, any contagion fear or otherwise should move VIX much higher. If it doesn't, it should be an "all clear" sign at least in the short-term.
➤ Conclusion: What will be important is the messenging by the US regulatory authorities and how market participants react to it. I would expect some sort of clarification or official stance taken prior to markets opening in Asia on Monday. Silence or a message that doesn't allay fears may result in a bad outcome in the short-term.
NOTES: $BTC and crypto price is holding well despite the most recent developments.
💾 DJI Bear-Run 2023 & Beyond | The New World OrderWhy do you think there is such a strong rush to close/shutdown everything crypto?
The traditional global financial system is about to crash and they don't want competition. Remember, they are owned by banks and banks are used to having a monopoly on money.
If the financial system crashes due to its many weaknesses, it will lose all of its customers to the other side.
If they can shut down the other side, people can just cry and rebel but they would have no other choice other than to use what is available.
Now there is an alternative.
So they will have to either come up with real solutions (not likely) or become obsolete as it is the norm.
The only constant is change in this world.
The DJI is about to crash.
We have a peak January 2022 followed by lower highs.
This month the DJI has gone below EMA10 and the indicators are trending down.
It seems that it will be worse than 2008... No worries, back in 2008 we didn't have Bitcoin, it will be interesting to see how things will develop this time around, to say the least.
Bitcoin was invented for this exact type of situation.
Will the experiment work?
Or will Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency go down with the rest of the old system that it is intended to be the solution for?
My money is on change.
If you look back at history, nothing ever stays the same.
Let it crash...
A New World Order will emerge.
Namaste.
Dow Jones : eyes on 29000My target for US30/Dow Jones is 29000
My reasons :
Technically, price failed to create new highs and it's a signal that bullish momentum is turning bearish, which will be confirmed if the weekly candle close below 32000
Fundamentals also are putting pressure on Dow Jones, as we have SVB saga, inflation, strong dollar, US debt deficit and more
Taking A Swing, 10 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ I'm probably being overdramatic by saying all hell has broken loose but it certainly looked that way from my perspective with today's equity performance. The VIX certainly portrayed it by spiking much higher.
➤ Equities experienced the biggest daily drop this year. It is an acceleration of the drop from the Feb 2 high. It was only yesterday that I was more in favour of an upward swing. Today's price action clearly have swung it back to the Bears.
➤ It's finally time. Continuing with my cricket analogy: The ball was delivered to my liking and I have taken a big swing of the bat. Will I be able to score some runs or will I get caught?
➤ Is this just the beginning of a fast and furious drop or will it be a short-lived affair? In the case I am right. The downside targets are 387, 380 and 370 on the SPY.
➤ Conclusion: I am Short with full risk after today's price action.
NOTES: S&P500 looks to have moved decisively away from the 200 day moving average.
The Probabilities Have Swung, 9 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ Equity prices finished the day slightly up countering attempts for a further fall. Following-on from yesterday's note, that means there was NO FOLLOW-THROUGH by the Bears.
➤ I think the probabilities now favour a short-term reversal higher for the Bulls. A lacklustre uptick in the VIX with such a Bearish day yesterday was perhaps the first sign the probabilities have swung.
➤ As a Trader, I play the market based on probabilities. Let me explain this in keeping with my cricket analogy but this time from the perspective of the Batter. The Batter will play a shot depending on the type of delivery s/he receives from the Bowler just like in Baseball. The choice is to leave the ball or hit the ball with varying strength and direction. The more the ball is pitched to your liking (or to your strength), the higher the chance of your success of putting runs on the board.
➤ This is why in recent days I have not offered a shot and have let the ball "pass through to the keeper". Of course I want to trade but the market conditions have not offered balls delivered to my liking. I therefore watch closely, keep my concentration and wait.
➤ Conclusion: A shot at shorting the market is not out of the question but another day like today will see me take a Bullish shot.
NOTES: S&P500 is still firmly attracted to the 200 day moving average. Price continues to whipsaw.
DOW JONES The opportunity to buy again is NOWWe have been following this Triangle pattern on Dow Jones (DJI) trading within what we called the 'High Volatility region' since last year, with are last buy signal given 1 week ago:
The 33400 target was reached and yesterday's rejection on the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) is providing us with a new opportunity to buy. We have a confirmed Triple Bottom ranging from November 09 2022 and today's low makes a Higher Lows sequence similar to what followed after the December 20 2022 Low on the 32480 Support. Even the 4H CCI is on the exact same levels as December.
Target 1 is again 33400 and Target 2 is 34350 assuming the index breaks and closes a 1D candle above the Pivot Zone and then re-tests it successfully as a Support.

The Follow-Through, 8 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ Equity prices ended the day sharply lower. It was either this or the other way round. I hope you chose the right side. I'm still sidelined.
➤ It's not all bad being sidelined. I get to think and write more in regards to my insights into markets and their behaviour.
➤ As I said, NO trade was triggered today. It was close. Now I await the "follow-through". I'm pretty fond of that term because it first resonated with me through watching one of my favourite sports: Cricket.
➤ The "follow-through" action of a Fast Bowler in Cricket is very important. It's the ending action after the ball is released. It's vital for a Fast Bowler who steams in at great pace to have a smooth ending action in order to direct the ball as s/he wished, reduce chance of injury and not to be penalised for running on the pitch. It's all a bit technical but it's very important.
➤ A follow-through is just as important when it comes to market movement. It is important for the Bears to see a continuation of today's action tomorrow. Without a proper follow-through, this down move will be reversed easily. That's what I'll be looking out for tomorrow.
➤ Conclusion: A good follow-through to the downside would almost certainly see me leave the sidelines and become a short-term Bear.
NOTES: all price gaps have been closed. VIX did not explode higher as it should have.
Strange Happenings, 7 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ Equity prices ended the day flat after the initial Bullish momentum carried over from last week. Strange was the out-sized relative underperformance of the Russell 2000 small cap stocks. It sold off quite aggressively. What's a plausible explanation? Interest rates? Maybe it was just one of those days...
➤ BTW, I forgot to mention this: Last Friday was the 10th CONSECUTIVE Friday that equities ended the trading day with a green candle i.e. higher close than the open. What's with this pattern of events? What will happen this Friday?
➤ I don't read too much into today's price action. It maybe some anxiety with upcoming economic data and blabbering Fed mouths. It isn't a reliable signal to say if prices will reverse lower or it was just a temporary pause in upward momentum.
➤ Conclusion: It's 50/50 on the direction of the next trade. Market is leaving me guessing.
Dow Jones by EOY
Based on fundamentals, economics, economic data, geopolitics, Fed QT. It'll be a zig zag on the way down. S&P completed a 50% retracement during this last 5-week rally. The trend seems to have reversed with a resumption in selling that started in Nov 2021, accelerated in Jan 2022, with a recovery in June to Mid August.
Marching Higher? 6 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ My current view of equity markets is based on today's chart colour scheme. Green and a bit of grey.
➤ With a strong rebound higher in markets over the last couple of trading days, I think things look pretty Bullish. The trend from the October 2022 bottom is Bullish. It is a series of higher highs and higher lows. The classical definition of an uptrend.
➤ It looks like the Sellers have dried up. All the selling has been absorbed by the Buyers. Everything pretty much adds up to the Bullish tone.
➤ The only grey is the price structure that I look at (my secret sauce) remains not so clear. There is not yet a trading signal for a BUY and there is still a reasonable possibility to go SHORT.
➤ How prices evolve this week will almost certaintly settle the case and we should see a trade soon enough. 🤞
➤ Conclusion: Looks can be decieving. 🥸
Dip Dip Dip...Is it Done? 3 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ A massive reversal of fortunes as the dip buyers show their hand. Is it the end of the short-term downtrend from the 2nd Feb high?
➤ The honest answer to that is I have no idea and no one else does either. We can only assign probabilities as to what may happen next. That after all is what Trading and Investing is all about. Making a sound judgement and then backing that up with money.
➤ With the current scenario, it is completely unclear to me as to how prices will evolve. That is why I haven't put on a position. That is why my Strategy hasn't given a trading signal.
➤ Today's price action builds on the scenario that I outlined yesteday. That is the Bullish scenario as explained by the abscence of strong selling pressure. I described it as the "drip drip drip" of small downward movements. The large Bullish intention of today's move could mark the end of the drip.
➤ However, there are many complications. One of which is how price resolves itself around the 200 day moving average. It is hanging around there like a bad smell.
➤ Conclusion: Trading is about discipline. We are not forced into a trade, it is a choice. There are good and bad choices.
Drip Drip Drip... 2 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ Another down day to start off March. You can see that prices have trickled down slowly drip by drip since the Feb 2 high. It feels like a death by a thousand cuts. Not enjoyable for the Bulls nor satisfying for the bloodthirsty Bears.
➤ It's certainly different to the drops in the past year where they have been fast and furious. This has two potential meanings:
❶ There's a lack of strong selling
❷ There's strong selling still to come
➤ In the first case, the behaviour says that the Bulls will eventually win out. They are absorbing whatever level of selling there is. Bears will exhaust themselves ending in an inevitable levitation in price (perhaps a fast one since there are no more sellers).
➤ In the second case, the dumb Bulls are buying the dip. As a more clever Bull you have the knowledge that there are more sellers than buyers. In order to exit your buy positions at the best price you exit with care, drip by drip. Until at some stage, the dumb dip buyers run out and then the drip feed becomes a selling waterfall as the Bears come to feed.
➤ Conclusion: These are the types of games the big players play. I don't really care for either explanation. My only care is that I grasp this opportunity to make money.
DOW JONES This is the bottom. Fractals from 2022 confirm.Not surprisingly to us, Dow Jones has stayed inside the High Volatility region that we have identified back in late November:
The 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) has supported twice already since November 10 and is now going for its 3rd hold. If we pay a closer attention to the 1D RSI we see that it has printed the very same pattern it made on all Lows during the 2022 Bear Cycle. That is basically 3 occasions. The RSI is very close to the 30.00 oversold barrier and as the 1D MA100 supports, it makes it the most optimal long-term buy level on a 2-month horizon.
Even though it has been mostly trading sideways within the High Volatility Zone, on RSI terms, it is comparable to all 2022 Lows that bottomed out on an oversold 30.00 1D RSI and started an aggressive rally in the form of a Rising Wedge.
Our Targets are: short-term = 33400 (Pivot Zone), medium-term = 34400 (February 14 Resistance), long-term 35500 (April 21 Resistance).

easyMarkets Dow Jones Daily - Quick Technical OverviewAfter a recent decline, the DJIA index found support near the 32700 area, which is near the lowest point of December. If, eventually, that support area surrenders, this could clear the path towards the 31740 zone.
Alternatively, a break above a short-term tentative downside resistance line, drawn from the high of February 14th, could help attract the bulls back into the game. More of them may join on a move above the 200-day EMA.

Apple: Bearish Daily Close Apple may have just given us the first daily topping signal. It closed below key support which leaves it extremely vulnerable to more downside. This leading stock will take the markets much lower if it breaks down.
Daily secondary lower close is on watch to solidify this trend change in apple.
Poised for Action, 1 Mar 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ February is done and dusted. Tuesday trade ended down after a late sell-off. The second consecutive down day. Although prices have moved laterally for past few days, the behaviour shows Bears taking control. Previously, we saw buying support to close out the day, this has now reversed.
➤ I think price is poised to stride lower very soon. I'd like to see VIX rebound higher in concert with a price drop to bring a higher level of confidence that the drop will stick. In fact, VIX has been stuck in the low 20s for a while. I need to see this spike much higher.
➤ Conclusion: February was favourable although there was little trading action. On to March we march.
A Short Pause, 28 Feb 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ As per recent weeks equity prices opened with optimism and finished with a whimper. Today was no exception. Price filled the large gap left open on Friday trade but made no further headway.
➤ S&P500 equity index is still dancing around the 400 level and the 200-day moving average. I expect this to continue but only for a few days. Price should break away from this area very soon.
➤ Price could move upwards to fill in the two smaller price gaps just above but I think more likely it may drop. A good sized drop will give me an opportunity to re-enter with shorts. A move higher may mean staying patient for a trade.
➤ There's plenty of action in other asset classes. See above links for USD and NATGAS price action.
➤ Conclusion: Last day of Feb, time flies by so fast when you're having fun.
TGIF, 24 Feb 2023🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈
➤ A negative day to finish off a negative (shortened) week for equity prices. S&P500 was down around -2.7% from previous Friday close.
➤ Yet again we saw Friday trade finish higher than it started (green arrows in chart). This makes it 9 consecutive Fridays. Probably the only consistent observation that I can make since the start of the year. Yet I do see a wrinkle, overall, the size of the "body" of the candle i.e. distance between daily open and close has narrowed. Either someone has exploited this anamoly or it is simply the fact that we should expect a narrowing during a short-term downtrend since 2 Feb. In that case, when the bullish trend returns, we should once more see a large profitable body on Fridays?
➤ We should also note the gap in daily prices between previous days' close and the next days' open (blue arrows in chart). These tend to get filled in due course, meaning prices should at some stage (whenever that will be) will return back up to these levels.
➤ Anyway, I shouldn't bore you with such uninteresting and useless observations. Over this weekend, I'll re-visit some of the charts to look at any price developments in other asset classes such as NATGAS, GOLD, USDOLLAR etc.
➤ Conclusion: TGIF, have a great weekend!
DOW JONES Aggressive bullish reversal expectedDow Jones (DJI) broke below its Pivot Zone and Higher Lows trend-line and as per our strategy published 2 weeks ago, we took that break-out sell opportunity:
With the 4H RSI though printing Higher Lows against the price's Lower Lows (i.e. a Bullish Divergence) and the price approaching the 32480 Support level and the 1D MA200 (red trend-line), which both provided Support and started aggressive rebounds on November 09 2022 and December 20 2022, Dow is turning into a medium-term (at least) buy opportunity again.
In fact the very same RSI Bullish Divergence formed the December 20 Low. It is important to add that this Low was formed after a 4H Death Cross, a pattern that we already formed again 2 days ago.
We are buyers again on Dow, targeting the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line). Then we will either wait for a pull-back or buy when the price breaks above the Pivot Zone and re-tests it as Support, in similar fashion as on January 06 2023 and January 23 2023. Long-term target 34300.
