This Looks Like A Top

Lots of people been calling the start of a bear market and saying the market has topped. From what I have seen in the past, the current price formation on the SPY chart doesn't look like a top to me.

Still On Path

On December 1, 2015, I've posted a chart of the Nasdaq 100 ETF, QQQ highlighting the trajectory to the 2000 tech bubble high. Here is an updated chart of the QQQ showing it is still on path toward the all time high level at 120.50. From the chart, barring any black swan event, one can estimate the target will likely be hit in January or early February of 2016. This historical milestone might trigger a climactic move that could resulted in a major market reversal.

Another Round Of Holiday Cheers

For those that were waiting for Santa’s rally last week were not disappointed. Santa arrived just in time to spread the holiday cheers before Wall St shuts down for the Christmas holiday. Now Christmas had passed and the New Year is approaching, Wall St is getting ready for another round of holiday cheers to welcome in 2016.

Still Waiting

Last week, the FED raised the Fed Fund Rate for the first time in more than 7 years, and the market around the globe rallied off that news until it got back to NY the follow day, then a funny thing happened, the market started to fall. It gave up all the gains from the rate hike rally and more, and the SP500 had an 83 point swing last week and ended the week at 2005.55, a loss of 6.83 points or 0.34% from previous week. As Christmas holidays approaching, market participants are still waiting for Santa to show up and sprinkle some holiday cheers to get the end of the year rally going. Looking at the recent internals, there appears to be some divergence that could be pointing to a Santa's Rally to commence very shortly, just in time before the holiday break.

FED Decided To Hike

The FED has decided to hike the rate by a quarter of a percent, 0.25% today. The market has essentially pinned the FED into the hole it has dug for itself, and it is more like damn if you do and damn if you don't. The FED didn't have much of a choice but to raise even with the backdrop of an impending recession. Now the market will celebrate for a while until it realizes the potential ramification of the rate hike will have on the economy. For now, it's onward to 2016 and Santa rally time!

Here are some DOW stocks you might want to watch for possible year end move.

Oil Prices

Everyone is calling for lower oil prices and with the level on oil inventory along with 'don't stop the pump' from Saudi Arabia, it is logical to expect lower prices. After all, it is the first law of economics; supply and demand! But as most things in life, it is not so black and white. There are always external factors that make everything ideal to be more reality, some people call them second order effects and I call them unintentional consequences. Whatever one might call these external effects, they do alter the pricing equation based on supply and demand. For oil, it is what one might call "Geopolitical effects."

Hike Or No Hike

If you have listened to all the talking heads speaking about the possibility of a rate hike from the upcoming FOMC meeting, you might have walked away thinking the rate hike from the FED is a foregone conclusion. After next Wednesday, it will be a foregone conclusion on whether the FED did or did not hike the interest rate. But in the meantime, here are some charts for you to muddle a bit and see if indeed it is a foregone conclusion that the rate hike is imminent.

Market Update - 12/3/2015

Market continues its pullback and testing its near term support. On a larger time frame, the market still appears to be trending higher. Signs of weakening breadth started to appear, but the presence of weakening breadth doesn't mean the market cannot continue to move higher. The market typically halt its ascend after a euphoric or a climactic move followed by a narrowing one last grasp of a new high. At the present, the market appears to be setting up for a euphoric move more than it appears to be setting up for a roll over. In regardless what the market breadth is saying or whatever the fundamental is projecting, the price behavior will ultimately inform the attentive participants what lies ahead.
