SPX Chart
The S&P 500 is not Bouncing off the Red Line!

 

04/015/2017 Markets were down about 1% for the week, as Investors are becoming worried if Congress will agree on Tax Reform and a new HealthCare bill. The major Indices did not bounce off of the Red Lines (see Chart above), which indicates a lack of Buying, except for only the strongest Darlings (mainly large cap NASDAQ 100 stocks like AAPL FB AMZN GOOGL, etc.) There is Support on the S&P at 2322, for a possible “W” pattern back up to the Highs again soon.

Bonds have rallied all the way back up to the Green Line, indicating either War Fears, or expectations of a Slowing Economy…

Crude OIL was up 1.8% for the week,  but it needs to Close above $55.24 for a Bull to begin.

The Financials have really weakened, as longer term Interest Rates dropped on Bond buying.

Gold Miners were up 4% as the US Dollar fell.

 

MONEY WAVE BUYS SOON:    There are currently 7 Open Positions,  and 11 Investments are on the Watch List. Many Investments were Stopped Out on Thursday.

ON DECK to Buy soon:  Watch List.  Wait for GREEN ZONE BUYS.  We will email or text when they are ready.  

 

LONG TERM TRADES – We are looking for a good Entry Point for these, which could possibly Double:

DBC   COMMODITY FUND   Waiting for Break Out Above $16.08.
IPI    INTREPID POTASH    Waiting for Break Out Above $3.04.
JJC     COPPER FUND            Waiting on a Pull-back.
KOL    COAL FUND         Waiting for a Pull-back.
MDR    MCDERMOTT INT’L.  Waiting for Bounce Up & Above 90 Relative Strength.
UGA   US GASOLINE FUND   Waiting on Break Out Above $32.03.

Alert! Market Risk is Lower now (Yellow Zone). The probability of successful Short Term Trades is lower, when the S&P 500 is Way Above the Green Line. Even the Strongest Funds can get chopped up. Either take quick gains from Money Wave Pops, or STAY IN CASH & WAIT for a larger correction.

QUESTION:  Doug writes: “I am considering your service and am curious as to the difference in  RSf numbers and RS ranking from investors.com.  Is it a weighting difference in the near term quarter or something else altogether?”

ANSWER: Hi Doug, we prefer to use Relative Strength from IBD (Investor’s Business Daily) or www.etfscreen.com, as they use more of a weighted 1 year RS.

SCTR (Stock Charts Technical Rank) is more convenient, but is weighted too much to the last 90 days of trading…

Good trading, and tell your friends!
