SHORT-TERM: IN WAIT AND SEE MODE

Three cents:

  1. Could see red day tomorrow and more likely today’s low will be revisited. I don’t mean to revisit today’s low tomorrow though.
  2. More up ahead.
  3. FEELS no good about the market but I don’t have any solid evidences. If you’ve been watching my intraday comments, you probably know that my feeling is not bad, so nowadays I dare occasionally mention how I FEEL, hopefully you don’t mind, I know it’s not objective.

Why red tomorrow? Because it’s a Major Accumulation Day right after a Major Distribution Day.

MADNextToMDD

Why more up? Because today is a Major Accumulation Day, as per the law of inertia, so it almost guarantees a higher high ahead. However due to the reason mentioned above, I’m not sure if we’ll see a higher high tomorrow, may need wait for a few days, my guess.

Now let’s talk about HOW I FEEL. Pay attention, I said FEEL which means it’s not a solid conclusion, need wait for a few days.

First of all, today’s candlestick pattern is not Bullish Engulfing, it’s called Last Engulfing Top, although the name sounds topping but statistically it has 68% chances to continue higher. My point is the volume surge today feels no good, plus the bar size, which are enough to make me thinking of the “exhaustion” word.

SPYDaily

I see too much negative divergences on SPY 60 min chart. Especially the RSP lagging is no good sign, which may imply that some big guys deliberately pushed the heavy weighted stocks up (while leaving the majority stocks behind) to make indices look good, which is suspicious.

SPY60min

IBM dropped today after ER, which “predicted” the SPX gloomy fate in 5 weeks. The statistics below are little out of date, so I also provided the recent IBM ER chart (in comparison with SPX), looks like the statistics are still valid, only failed in the recent 2 times. In fact, if you read the chart carefully, you’d find that no matter what, SPX fell after IBM ER anyway at least since year 2010.

SHORT-TERM: IN WAIT AND SEE MODE

三点说明:

  1. 明天可能收红,今天的low多半会被revisit,当然,我不是说明天就revisit。
  2. 多半还没有涨完。
  3. 对大盘的前景感觉不好,但没有什么证据。看多我intraday comment的,直到我感觉还可以,所以现在我也敢把感觉当个事情来说了,呵呵。

为什么说明天会收红?因为Major Accumulation Day紧接着Major Distribution Day

MADNextToMDD

为什么说还没有涨完?因为今天是Major Accumulation Day,由于惯性,基本可以保证至少还有个higher high。不过由于上面提到的理由,我不确定明天是否就会有higher high,可能要过几天了。

HHGuaranteed

下面谈谈为什么感觉不好。注意,我是说感觉不好,并没有下结论,需要看今后几天的走势再说。

首先,今天的棒棒不叫Bullish Engulfing,而是Last Engulfing Top,虽然统计上有68%的机会continue higher,不过今天最让人不放心的是放量了,有exhaustion的嫌疑。

SPYDaily

SPY 60 min chart上negative divergence太多了。特别是RSP lagging让人很不放心,强拉权重股造成繁荣假象,非常可疑。

SPY60min

IBM ER后跌了,意味着SPX down in 5 weeks。下图的统计比较老,因此我又补充了最近几次IBM ER与SPX的对比图,看起来统计还是有效的,只是最近两次不准。其实仔细看,基本上自2010年开始,IBM ER后SPX都是跌。
