About market, TAPE gave a clear signal today that all is not well on Wall & Broad St. IF I have to guess, that we may have seen peak in earnings, that means that there will be more contraction in PE.IF that is accurate then we have a bear market on hand, irrespective of any new development which may be taken as positive. Rallies in bear market are non existent, rallies are generally for maximum a day and then down days again. Rallies are also sold.

Market ready to move UP.......

It has been 7 weeks of slump in worldwide markets.

US markets may have overdone on the downside.

DOW is giving signal that " worst may be over "

DOW is the only index which is above 200 DMA.

S&P 500 & Nasdaq are below 200 DMA

SOX & RUT are not only below 200 DMA but are showing " death cross "

Since DOW is giving " contrary technical picture " it is safe to buy stocks which are not in the " epicenter " of this down move.....

Who are in the " epicenter " of this down move......AAPL FB GOOG  AMZN MSFT NVDA......to name a few

YELP is in neverland

Most technology stocks are trying to find support.....

This may be a rare chance to buy high growth stocks @ sharply discounted price

Technology are offering " early black Friday sales "

Sentiments could not be more negative after 7 slumping weeks, a reliable contrary indicator......

SO...get your confidence UP and do some homework on your strong buys....

You may look back @ current prices as the most opportune in a long long time...

Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

Markets...where to now?

Market has seen unbelievable weakness in the month of famous and much dreaded October, it was pretty much a straight downhill for whole month of October 2018.

In the first 18 trading days in October, we lost 337.37 points in S&P 500 or DOWN 11.47%.....a very fast pace of decline...

Once October ended, in last 9 trading days S&P 500 has gained 171.47 points or UP 6.57%.....

Since beginning of October when we were sitting @ all time high of 2940.91 in S&P 500, we are still down 159.90 points or 5.44% as of Friday's close.

NOW...the question is.....

Are we going to test the support again or Friday's slump to 200 DMA in S&P 500 which we held and moved UP is enough....

Chart readers / technicians are very excited about reverse head & shoulders which we have formed and are predicting once in a lifetime opportunity like bottom of 2009....

Technicians are correct only 50% of the time no matter how well they read their chart, so tread with caution on any prediction of this TAPE.....

World economy is definitely in turmoil partly due to natural economic cycles and accelerated by US / China trade tensions.

Oil slump is very puzzling, its in a severe straight line slump, not seen as a pattern.

Oil is loudly saying " all is not well economically speaking in this world "

IF we believe oil scenario, then Federal Reserve is " totally on wrong path of increasing interest rates "

IF interest rate in US are near top of the range, then it will give lot of room for equity to expand.....

US Feds are known to wake up to new reality of slumping oil prices & slowing worldwide economic activities.....

SO..IF FED back tracks on its language, we MAY have formed a sustainable bottom in market.

In my opinion, Fed is controlling this market in US, IF they remain hawkish, we go down to make new lows.....

Good luck with your own analysis and your comfort level.

About market, TAPE was in wait and read mode for Fed statement which offered no surprise employment getting stronger and business investment getting moderate, sees gradual rate increase which is a desirable approach. Tomorrow we may see rethink about Fed reaction, hopefully we close green. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

About market, TAPE went into overdrive and improved its technical picture, DOW is above both 200 DMA & 50 DMA, S&P 500 above 200 DMA and very close to 50 DMA, Nasdaq above 200 DMA, these are tell tale of DOW leading other indices into higher ground. Internals were mostly positive and strongest I have seen in a while.
