DrStool Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Posted June 3, 2003 Stooltrading > Stooltrading Stadium > Fry Day May 30, 2003 Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 08:43 AM Good Morning Stooltraders! Here are my intraday comments from last night's Anals. I'll be back with more before the open. Gotta finish updating Stoolwethers. QUOTE After rocketing to new highs in the first hour, the market topped out around mid day and spent the afternoon ratcheting own to go out on what should be a one day cycle low. The lows exceeded the downside cmap of 949 on the SPX but came back to close there, and just about met the 29.20 cmap on the QQQ before closing at 29.31. The 1 day cycle was due to turn up at 3:00. It was at least a little late, so it looks like 3-8 day cycles are turning down, as the charts for those cycles indicate. Will it be a sideways down phase, which would portend further gains after a few days of consolidation, or will it be a hard down phase, ending the wild bull run we have been witnesses to, if not participants in? Tomorrow should give us the answer. Upside cmaps for all short cycles have been hit. How high the AM up phase gets should be the tell. A five hour cycle high is due between now and tomorrow in the first half hour. A 1 day cycle high is due around 11 AM. If the market is weak in the first 1-1/2 hours, it's a good bet that the rally is over. Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:14 AM Good morning, Cycle low today, so I expect a trade below yesterday's low at some point. Let's don't forget the potential "Three drives to a low" pattern on the 15m chart. Other than that nothing else for today. I'll take it easy.. The intermediate top has to be in or it's coming next week. I spend a considerable amount of time yesterday night reviewing my cyclical analysis to see what the heck is going on. In order to understand what I mean exactly, I'll tell you that at any given point, the market operates within two pivots. A high and a low. For example... Since October 10th 2002, the market was operating between that low and the January 13th high. After it traded above the 1/13/03 high, the two key pivots became the 10/10/02 low and the 12/2/02 high. When it traded above the 12/2/02 high the pivots became the 10/10/02 low and the 8/22/02 high and so on.... The high and low pivots apply time and price support and resistance levels to the market. All in all... With everything I see so far. The intermediate cycle that picked the 12/2/02 high and the 3/12/03 low (with 2 days variance) was pointing to a 5/12 high. Although we find oursevles two weeks later trading higher, if we look at the SPX on the which the cycle is based on, the index didn't manage to close above the 5/12 close by more than 8 points. So in theory that cycle is still in effect, although it feels worse than it actually is Another cycle, of longer duration that the previous one, is pointing to a 6/3 high followed by a 7/22 low. This cycle is more bullish than the first one. But it still points to a top now... Now...what do I try to say.....As I said before the top is either in, or it's coming early next week. What we need to avoid is getting trapped into the "just a little bit more" game. In other words. If it doesn't stop at 950, it will be 965. If it's not 965 it will be 975. If not 975 it will be 1000. That's a trap that the mind plays to justify holdind losing positions and on top of that, it prevents us from taking advantage of the upswing. So the plan goes like this. If the price doesn't top, the latest, by next week, I personally won't look at the longer term cycles at all for now, and I'll focus just on the price patterns, and the turn dates. Hopefully, this way, I'll take better advantage of all the trading opportunities that show up Have a good trading day Posted by: the end May 30 2003, 09:14 AM I am looking for a 50%-62% retrace of the 5 waves down. 955-957. Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:22 AM Stocks for today Time pivots: CAH, AMGN, KSS Potential short candidates as long as they hold below yesterday's high: AMGN, MXIM, SYMC, MEDI Potential long candidates: IDPH, CEPH, BGEN, DNA ( all of these at slightly lower levels than they currently are) Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:22 AM From the AM Anals- This morning we have the futures higher. What else is new. We should look for the 5 hr cycle high within the first few minutes, and failing that, a one day cycle high around 10:45-11:15. Upside cmap on the basis of overnight fucutures is, well I don't know what the hell it is from this chart. But it could be 955. The 3 day cycle downside cmap was 947. That was hit yesterday as was the 5 day cycle upside cmap of 959. The SPY's opened on a gap up in the pre-market and are trading at 95.86, which should be worth around 955.50 on the cash. the upside cmap looks like around 96.05, worth about 957.50 cash. QQQ is at 29.53 with a target of around 29.60. We'll look for those numbers this morning and see how the market behaves in getting there. The PM should be weak.

Very good point BB Posted by: GregFokker May 30 2003, 09:26 AM Fokker needs a vacation in a big way. Ms. Market needs to take a breather. Yields cranking up as bonds sell off. Data due at 10AM. Posted by: crooked_anal cyst May 30 2003, 09:28 AM More smashing of Gold....and a dollar jam - gonna be an ugly start Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:28 AM Here is the potential "Three drives to a low" pattern You can see the two "drives" or "spikes" and the divergence on the oscillator. The expectation is a pullback towards the 20 EMA (that's the reason of the gap up today) and if the market decides to complete the pattern, it will push one more time lower, and the swing will be complete. After three or fours "pushes" lower or higher expect a short term reversal.... That will prevent you from entering at the end of the short term move Posted by: Wrecked Them May 30 2003, 09:31 AM BB, I hear you loud and clear. That mental gamesplaying - moving the line in the sand - is very dangerous. With regard to your previous 5/12 cycle high, I did notice that indicators like RSI, ADX, etc are lower now than at the previous high. Until more time passes and we can benefit from hindsight, we won't know for sure. However, this negative divergence is important, at least for now. By the way, I noticed your prognostications are taking on a life of their own over on IDS: QUOTE (wndysrf @ May 30 2003, 08:49 AM) For Blackbelt's count to work out, we must go down IMMEDIATELY after the open. MWH Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:34 AM Follow through on the potential "Three drives to a low" discussion. Since the index traded above the prior pivot high (the high of the pullback after the first low), the potential from the pattern development are decreasing....

I decided to take a short on AMGN at current levels, stop yesterday's high, looking for 1 to 1.5 points Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:46 AM Now we start chasing with the cmaps. Posted by: GregFokker May 30 2003, 09:47 AM Thanks to the magic of option premiums, I can walk away from my INTC puts leaving only the commissions on the table. It met with a wall of sellers at 21.00. I'm going to take a loss and bail if it breaks 21. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:48 AM I'm gonna guess 959.50 and 29.73.

Posted by: Mousey Dung May 30 2003, 09:50 AM I received my first margin call since the summer of 2000. Bummer. I sure underestimated this one. Such is life. I hear what you all are saying about moving the line in the sand. It been very hard to reconcile the TA for the last month with the actual action, nonetheless, I will cover only what I have to as I agree that we are near or in the top and the turn could be harsh and fast. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:51 AM It's tricky here because the 3 day cycle is up, but the 5 and 8 still appear to be topping. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:52 AM Now the qqq upside cmap has pulled back down to 29.65. So that may have been just another little distribution blowoff. I think the time frame is the key. Up phase should be out of gas soon. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:54 AM 1 day cycle ozzies on qqq close to rollover Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:56 AM I am continuing to update the charts on my chart page as frequently as I can. Usually 5-10 minutes on the spx8 and qqq8 and about 30-45 minutes on the spx40 and qqq30. Please visit and refresh the page often to see the latest. Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 09:57 AM Followthrough on AMGN trade... Why did I pick AMGN? Because of yesterday's reversal bar. New high above the previous swing high from 4/24/03 and a close below the previous two days closes. I like the probabilities of the trade, I know where my stop is and if I had to guess I will say that it should target the 20 day EMA at 62...That's the reason for my target. That's 1.7 points away, so I'm looking for 1 to 1.5 (we have to leave some money of the table for the next guy). I might have gotten in sligthly early, there are potential that the stock could trade up to 64.3-64.5 before it reverses to the downside. So I might have to take some squeeze here That's the plan...either it will trigger the stop and I'll move on or it will give me the money... Plan your trades, trade your plan.. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 09:57 AM I'm dropping the SPX cmap to 958.50. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:01 AM So much for that. Posted by: GregFokker May 30 2003, 10:02 AM Chi PMI 52.2, allegedly bullish reading. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:02 AM eSignal stalls again. This should probably be used as some kind of signal. Did it yesterday as the market approached a top. Posted by: the end May 30 2003, 10:02 AM shit! Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:04 AM cmap looks like 960.50. Posted by: the end May 30 2003, 10:04 AM Next stop 965? Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:05 AM Still within the framework of expectations unless it breaks out. Posted by: PyurAureo May 30 2003, 10:07 AM QUOTE (the end @ May 30 2003, 09:04 AM) Next stop 965? Wish it would stop there or before and get turned back hard. I can't help but think that the gamers will take out that number today or soon. Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:07 AM For the "long" list, CEPH It approaches 44 were I would expect it to hold and reverses to the upside again. Also third day in a pullback. On strong uptrends, stocks do not drop for more than three days Posted by: GregFokker May 30 2003, 10:07 AM PCR .43. Put to call ratio .43. Bulls have finally gone batshit. Posted by: DoubleFlush May 30 2003, 10:07 AM CBOE PCR 9:00 AM CST Equity 0.34 Index 1.14 Overall 0.43 Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:07 AM News can only bend or stretch cycle waves. It can't break them. This should peter out. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:11 AM Well... new cmap 964.25. Posted by: RockLedge May 30 2003, 10:11 AM For the volatility being so low.... it sure is volatile. TGIF...... Posted by: the end May 30 2003, 10:11 AM I say 965 but if we don't break yesterdays high, It can still be a wave two. Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:12 AM A high above yesterday's high negate the cycle that points to a 5/30 low and that opens a can of worms... I want to see it to believe it Posted by: Wrecked Them May 30 2003, 10:12 AM For the first time in as far back as I can remember, the adx is not confirming much confidence in this upmove: Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:12 AM targets are 27.75 QQQ and 963.50-964.50 SPX. Posted by: tarrbabycn May 30 2003, 10:13 AM QUOTE (drstool @ May 30 2003, 07:43 AM) Tomorrow should give us the answer. Upside cmaps for all short cycles have been hit. How high the AM up phase gets should be the tell. A five hour cycle high is due between now and tomorrow in the first half hour. A 1 day cycle high is due around 11 AM. If the market is weak in the first 1-1/2 hours, it's a good bet that the rally is over. Doc: Since the market is strong thus far, does that suggest to you that the rally continues? Or do we need more time? Posted by: Wrecked Them May 30 2003, 10:15 AM It's the same on the 15 min chart: Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:18 AM Keep in mind, The important thing is the level not the exact number.... 964 +/- 3. Also that the date for the cycle top using the Square of nine, is a time window from now till next week. The cycle bottom for today is short term stuff... Posted by: marketneutral May 30 2003, 10:19 AM QUOTE (blackbelt @ May 30 2003, 08:14 AM) Another cycle, of longer duration that the previous one, is pointing to a 6/3 high followed by a 7/22 low. This cycle is more bullish than the first one. But it still points to a top now... Interesting BB. If we top on 6/3 and subtract the number of days from the Aug hi to Oct lo, we get 7/22. Out of curiousity, do you use a different method to arrive at the same date? As I posted last night in Talking Stool, it's possible that everything since 2/3 is a reverse mirror of the action from the Oct lows to 2/3. Will this reverse mirroring continue once (and if we top) (i.e. will the next wave mimic the selloff from 8/22 to 10/10 in reverse)? Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:20 AM Here it comes.... Posted by: Pico May 30 2003, 10:21 AM I think there is a bearish butterfly in the SPX 10m left wing top 959 yesterday let's see if the right wing top is in... Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:23 AM If it doesn't break out by 11:15, it's still within the frame of expectations.

Will this reverse mirroring continue once (and if we top) (i.e. will the next wave mimic the selloff from 8/22 to 10/10 in reverse)? No different method... These cycles are based purely on Gann analysis. I try to find out which year from the past repeats. The cycle that I mentioned before with the top on 6/3 and the bottom 7/22 is 1963, a pre-election year, 40 years ago (20*2). 20 year cycle is the most important cycle of all... Although Gann didn't say it 100 back then because people could thought he was crazy, 20 years is the synodic Saturn/Jupiter cycle. If that cycle repeats, then we should expect a 50% retracement of the rally since March 12th, which brings us to 875. But the dates/time is more important than the "length" of the move Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 10:24 AM This is a bulloney bullhorn pattern over the lat two days. . Almost always indicates a top Posted by: Wrecked Them May 30 2003, 10:27 AM QUOTE (drstool @ May 30 2003, 10:24 AM) This is a bulloney bullhorn pattern over the lat two days. .

Damn it.! Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:35 AM Re: Cycles, I can bet the farm that most if not all people get confused with me talking about cycles and being all over the place. cycle low now, cycle high now.... I realize that and I do my best to explain, but it takes a tremendous amount of reading of the Gann methodology to understand where I come from. Even I get confused at times Belive me I do my best to pass to you what I see, right or wrong. Hopefully along the process I'll be able to pass some of the stuff I learned while reading and studing all these material. Keep in mind, that you must use whatever I type here as a suppliment to your own analysis. If you don't know how to use what I type here, don't use them at all Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 10:37 AM Re: QCOM Followthrough to the upside from yesterday's breakout above the range Posted by: GregFokker May 30 2003, 10:38 AM TICK.NQ +720!

So the rule is. NEVER ADD TO A LOSING POSITION Good trades become profitable immediately. If a position takes you under and you freeze and you don't close it, the worse thing you can do is add to it. Keep in mind, that the market will be here tomorrow, next year and 100 years from now. Take care of the losing position and then start fresh again having in mind that (as someone said at a seminar I attended awhile ago) "Your first loss, is your best loss" This is not a race, it's a journey Posted by: Pico May 30 2003, 11:07 AM QUOTE (blackbelt @ May 30 2003, 09:56 AM) Everytime I was down on my swing positions I used to double-up and every single time I will lose at the end.

Averaging down into losing positions may work only if there are no reversals but only corrections. That's why it's easy to trade in secular bull markets.

Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 12:39 PM Yesterday's top phase lasted 100 minutes. Today's has gone beyond that without a break to the downside.

Not sure if they sell it or buy it. Narrowing bb's has me bothered. Quicktrade. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 12:43 PM If the 1 day cycle is dominant, like yesterday, then the low will come late, around 3:30. But the longer it goes sideways, the more likely there's gonna be a late break to the upside. The problem is that cmaps have been met for most cycles up to 8 days.

Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 12:58 PM ozzies starting to go south on spx chart. I don't want to see prices go sideways as these oscillators correct. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 01:08 PM 1:00 The market did as expected from a time standpoint, but was stronger than expected price wise, this morning. As I write the one day cycle appears to be turning down, but it's too early to tell if the down phase will actually be down, or a swdp, a flat move while the ozzies correct. This morning the SPX and QQQ retest upside cmaps for the 8 day cycle. This should be the cycle high, but it depends on a down afternoon. the 5 hour cycle low is due around 2:00 and the 1 day low around 3:30. If the down phase is flat, there should be a push to higher highs in the late going. Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 01:10 PM Just as I feared. those signals whipsawed. The top shelves are still more or less intact. Time is running out for a down move. have an hour I think. Posted by: blackbelt May 30 2003, 01:10 PM I have all kind of problems with my DSL today.

Other times they fight to a draw when juxtaposed. Best moves are when they are in gear with a near simultaneous high or low. .

Posted by: drstool May 30 2003, 04:04 PM Looks like they'll close the SPX a couple of points above the line in the sand. The Nas has blown way through its LITS. I'll have to see what the implications are on the daily and weekly charts for your Weak End Anals. For now here at the end of the day the juxtaposed 1 day and 5 hour cycles fight to a draw. They've hit all the upside cmaps we deal with here in Stooltrading. Ditto for the longer cycles covered in the Anals. If ,like me, you don't like to trade from the long side, this has been one of the most trying weeks any of us will go through. All we can do is try and follow this trend, and, most of all, be patient. Wait for clear evidence of a turn. Ditto if you're a neutral swinger who will play it both ways. Follow the trend until there's clear evidence that it's over. And congratulations if you have been long! Since it's been so flat all day, I don't have much in the way of cmaps for Monday. We'll get a clue once it breaks out of this range. I may have some data in tonight's Anals. I'll have more in the pre-market here on Monday. Many tanks for joining me! I look forward to seeing all of you next week. If you think it has been worthwhile to be a part of this, spread the word! Have a great weak end! Stool Out!

Posted by: PyurAureo May 30 2003, 04:25 PM Stoolies, Have a great weakend. I hate what I'm going to say and I hope that I'm wrong, as is typical, but here it is for FWIW, fearless forecast for next weak : DJX >9000-9200 NDX 1220-1240 COMPQ > 1625-1650 SPX > 975 Qs > 31 I expect that the posturing this weak was just preparation for a breakout and runaway to new highs. After that, who knows ... but with current environment, anything could happen; Up or Down 5-10% would not surprise me. I've taken a beating of late and if the fearless forecast above starts to play out I will take off my Shorts (I hope that I know the stoolies on the board well enuff to do that). I can't make myself take Long Postions so will stand aside there and probably continue to trade short term until the current lunacy subsides.
DrStool Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Posted June 3, 2003 Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 08:48 AM Good morning Stooltraders- I'll start by posting a replay of Friday night's wrap up from the Weak End Anals, and will be back with more as we approach the open. QUOTE The day started with the futures higher, what else is new, and the market ran to a 5 hour cycle high around 11:00. A sideways down phase followed until 1:45 then moved haltingly higher into the close. That may have been the 5 hour cycle high. A 1 day cycle high is due around 11:00 on Monday. The upside cmaps are 29.83 on the QQQ and 965 on the SPX. Cmaps for the 3 day cycle high also due Monday are 969 on the SPX and 30 on the QQQ. If they don't come on the first push in the AM, they may make another try in the PM. I'll just add that right now based onthe fucutures the cmap is 970.50. Earlier this morning they hit 972.20, so 970.50 would be a lower high. Not sure I'm reading the SPY's right, but they appear to have a cmap of 97.50, which is where they are now. That's equivalent to 972 cash. That coincides with the 3 day cycle cmap on the futures. The qqq appears to have a 1 day cmap of 30.15 and 30.25 on the 3 day. Posted by: Flufflander Jun 2 2003, 09:01 AM Nice pop in gold. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:02 AM Good morning, Let me start by following through on my AMGN short trade from Friday. Since the stop didn't trigger I carry it overnight and today, pre-market AMGN is up almost two points. So, having a stop at 1.25 points above entry, I have to cover at a 3 point loss. That's a four digit loss to start the week... The lesson is this.. When the stop triggers, we have to take it, even if it's a lot higher from were we thought it will be. On to business... We are entering one of the most critical week's of the year. If you haven't seen the weekly chart I post over the weekend, visit my site on Stoolcitites here : http://stoolcities.capitalstool.com/blackb...kbelt/index.htm We could see an accelerated move to the upside for a day or two and then reversal to the downside before the week ends. So the key here is to see, how the week will end. Assuming the high comes this week, the next turn is late July early August. According to my calculations that should be another intermediate term low. I don't expect it to be "deep". 50% retracement of the advance since the March lows is my preference. I'll update if that changes, based on what the market will actually do. For today, I'll focus on just a couple of stocks on the long side. My calendar shows CEPH, BGEN and MMM as stocks with pivots. That's for day-trading. My weekly analysis showed the following stocks nearing completion of bearish weekly patterns: C, JPM, GS, LEH, CAT, UTX, HDI (and possibly YHOO...no pattern here but a strong time pivot) These will be the stocks I'll be looking to take shorts on IF the market reverses. Have a good trading day, week and month Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:07 AM Re: DNA Last week I posted that the drop (that day it was down 3 points) was an opportunity to buy on any pullback towards the 20 EMA on the 240m chart. I also said that most will look to short it, but that was the wrong play. Today DNA is up 8 points. The fact that it didn't even pulled back towards the EMA on the 240m timeframe is another sign of great strength. Take a look at the chart and see the characteristics of this stock before the gap up today. The same characteristics appear on many stocks over and over again. Posted by: bullsdemkilla Jun 2 2003, 09:30 AM OT: === BB & Doc, I read the BB's comment's over the weekend on M2M, however his final comment was veeery disappointing and instead of posting on M2M on the weekend and risk his work[charts] being riped off and posted on other websites by lurkers, perhaps BB could consider posting on 'Talking Stool' in 'BB Weekend Forum' {i know he posts otherwise to that forum}which is available to hundreds of paying stoolies instead of THOUSANDS of lurkers and users. On the new weekend talking stool he could still invite the many responses he received this weekend ? BB, I hope that is a better alternative than posting on the free M2M ? Doc, YOU HAVE TO PROMOTE TalkingStool a bit more as many stoolies never ever go there. In fact I didnt even go their until months after I joined capitalstool. I am sure the discussion between BB and the stoolies could be just as good if the stoolies visit it on a regular basis. Hope you both can work this out as it helps to get BB's medium-longterm thoughts instead of just his charts with short comments on stoolcities and then the followup comments from other stoolies. J Posted by: strikerm3 Jun 2 2003, 09:30 AM good morning all! Posted by: GregFokker Jun 2 2003, 09:34 AM Welcome, Striker! Posted by: crooked_anal cyst Jun 2 2003, 09:35 AM Anybody getting Tick Readings?....I'm stuck on 988 since opening Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:42 AM bullsdem- Thank you for your comments! Talking Stool is a great resource. I do need to promote it more! Just need another hour or two in each day. Posted by: GregFokker Jun 2 2003, 09:42 AM QQV is up .79 to 27.47. This looks like a bearish divergence to me. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:47 AM I will suggest people with access to Talking Stool to read the post by MarketNeutral related to the 975 +/- number and the current timeframe... very interesting. Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:52 AM If I were going to do something today, I'd look for a move up into the expected 11:00 AM 5 hr cycle high and find a big cap name that appeared due for a concurrent high heading for a cmap and short it for a day trade, with a tight stop just above the cmap, allowing for an upside into a 1 day cycle high around 12:00. Alternatively, I could wait for the 1 day cycle high. Will update you on my thinking prior to those times. Posted by: zman Jun 2 2003, 09:52 AM just a reminder at 10am the supply management manufacturing index comes out..Last number was 45.4 they are expecting 48...if this is exceeded I look for another push possibly to 977.60..if in line then should head lower.. Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:55 AM Unfortunately, while writing my posts, I sometimes miss things, like oops, the market just sold off. But the plan is to look toward 11:00, so I'll stick to that. Posted by: ROG Jun 2 2003, 09:57 AM Moneyflows are positive into consumers, negative into tech. Opposite flow to window dressing. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 09:58 AM 5m charts indicate impulse move to the upside. The pullback will be bought and a new high should follow. That matches Doc's 1 day cycle projection. I'll be looking for pullbacks to the 20 EMA on the 5m charts on uptrending stocks Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 09:58 AM qqq has fallen a little short of 3 day cycle cmap of 30.25, but 3 day cycle ozzie is starting to roll over.

Last week it was a time pivot and it's also approaching resistance and a Bearish Gartley in the Fib zone Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 10:07 AM The SPX fell .40 shy of the 972 cmap. If the open was the high, I'm too late on this move. So I'll wait for the next one. If the next cycle high falls short, it suggests to me that I may be able to hold a short overnight because the 3-8 day cycles might be rolling over. Too early to know now, but these are the tings I will be looking for today as I look at the Stooltrading charts. Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 10:09 AM OK, I have misspoke in a couple of posts. The expected 11:00 AM high is for the 1 day cycle. The 5 hr high was at the open based on what I had posted in the initial post. Mea culpa... Hopefully I'll get a second chance around 11:00.

The 973/975 area seems to be key resistance and very strong resistance at that. I am watching carefully as I think a strong move above this range means SPX 1000+ and a negation of the "neckline". DOW is also running into heavy resistance. If it clears 9100 a mover significatnly higher is possible. Currently mostly long in my options portfolio (APC, CSCO, DELL G, JNPR, LAB, NXTL, QQQ, SUNW, WDC) except for MSFT and CLS. Still stuck with puts in DD and JPM that were profitable, but have been trapped in account transfer limbo for 2+ weeks. Will likely take losses on those. Calls are all in the money or close to it (APC added today). The exception is SUNW. I am loading up on October 5 calls at $0.35 - 0.40. So far 30 contracts. I will probably buy another 20.

Posted by: Flufflander Jun 2 2003, 02:08 PM Nice call on the S&P BB. Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 02:09 PM The problem with negative divergences in an uptrend is that they are symptomatic of a sidewasy down phase and are bullish in that context. If price moves down after a negative divergence, then it signals that bigger cycles have turned down. That's when they're bearish. Divergences happen all the time when a cycle phase runs countrer to the larger phcycle phase or ternd. They are basically neutral indications until resolved either in the direction of the trend or against it. It's the direction of the resolution that matters.

The price area from 6/25/02-7/9/02 should provide some kind of resistance. Also the breakout level around 938 (the close of 11/27/02) needs to be tested again, if that upswing is to continue. I will repeat that the bulls need to close the week above 965 and the bears below it Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 02:11 PM Thsi could either be a 1 day cycle low on the qqq, or the beginning of a breakdown. next 15 minutes should tell.

Posted by: strikerm3 Jun 2 2003, 02:17 PM QUOTE (drstool @ Jun 2 2003, 01:09 PM) The problem with negative divergences in an uptrend is that they are symptomatic of a sidewasy down phase and are bullish in that context. If price moves down after a negative divergence, then it signals that bigger cycles have turned down. That's when they're bearish. Divergences happen all the time when a cycle phase runs countrer to the larger phcycle phase or ternd. They are basically neutral indications until resolved either in the direction of the trend or against it. It's the direction of the resolution that matters. would this be a good example....negative divergance last week. http://www.saavycharts.info/ Posted by: RockLedge Jun 2 2003, 02:21 PM NVDA rolling over....

This half hour is prime time for the 1 day cycle low. We won't know if those weakening 3 day cycle indications are for real until we see how things go in the next few minutes. The market still hasn't broken the uptrending pattern and hasn't fallen enough to make the 984-986 projection moot. It could, but it hasn't done it yet.

In my opinion, this isn't going to be a very easy to trade downswing till the end of July. The trend should be up till the end of October, according to my analysis, so there is going to be accumulation during this drop. That leaves us with a time period of about 2 months with a lot of trading on both sides. That's how I see it Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 03:34 PM 1590 was a critical level on Nas then 1563.

Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 03:45 PM I said this morning I thought there would be an opportunity to take shorts in some big cap names around 11:00 and mentioned MSFT and CSCO. These would have been slightly profitable if take at that time. A little better later when CSCO in particular got close to cmap of 17.25. I had the high cmap on qqq at 30.18 all day. That would have been a good play as the high was 30.20, and the 3 day cmap was 30.25. At this point, the 1 day cycle low should be in, and we should expect a rebound in the AM. However, the longer cycles appear to be turning over, so I would not be adverse to holding overnight through an AM up phase to see what happens after that. Depends on your time frames and comfort zones. Posted by: RockLedge Jun 2 2003, 03:48 PM Riverboaters nightmare,....

That's how I see it All the recent corrections have been 2-3 days in length, which one would expect when trending. One of the first confirmation we need to see is a selloff greater than 2 days. If we can overbalance on the daily (which would be 936), then I will start to look for short entries. Posted by: drstool Jun 2 2003, 03:55 PM If the last couple days of the rally were nothing more than month end tape painting, the whole thing will unravel with breathtaking speed. So, like I said, if I had taken those shorts I talked about earlier today, I personally would hold overnight. But I must remind everyone that I am a horseshit trader. You should do what is right for you. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 2 2003, 03:56 PM Some general thoughts 975 was the lenght for two equal length swings to the upside from the October lows. Believe me, everyone and their sister knew about it. So having those with long positions since the March lows, or those that entered on the December breakout talking some profits, is natural. Also revisit the inverted H&S I posted over the weekend that showed the 965 area as the target of the mini H&S. The traders who trade these patterns take profits here and generate the selling. Also expected. Now we have the timining pointing to this week. Till recently I hadn't heard many talking about an early June high. Now I read quite a few posts from people who "count" having this timeframe as a top. I don't like that and altough I expect a down swing towards the end of July, I'll be very cautious on the shorts I'll carry overnight. On top of that, add a shitload of shorts that held all the way up since March. These people are going to start covering on any dip they see trying to break even. I don't think the shorts have been blown out. Maybe some hedge funds that play with other people's money could have been blown out. But the ma and pa shorts that learned the game last July are still holding.

I remember buying EMLX only to see it gap down 20 points the next day. Same with CIEN. I remember buying a gap down at 124 and I would sell it for a loss at 100 the same day. Now it's the opposite.

DrStool Posted June 3, 2003 Author Report Posted June 3, 2003 Stooltrading > Stooltrading Stadium > Toots Day June 3, 2003 Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 08:48 AM Good morning Stooltraders! Futures were trading in an odd line this morning. They are currently in an up phase on the overnight cycle. A one day cycle low was due in in the last hour yesterday, and while it was delayed, we should see an up phase this morning that lasts until 12:30 on the basis of the 5 hour cycle and 2:00 PM on the basis of the 1 day cycle. However, if the market shifts into a 3 hour wavelet, the first high would be due at 10:30. Since we don't know what will happen, we want to keep our eyes on indicators for all three time frames. That means watching the 26/18 stos, 25 period RoC's and 12/26 MACD's on 4 minute, 6 minute, and the usual 8 minute bars. Right now the the upside cmap on the fucutures is 969.25. The qqq has been trading in a line in the after and pre-markets. It's now at 29.48 with too narrow a range for an upside projection. The SPY has a cmap of 97.36, which is more or less equivalent to 971 cash. Given the fucutres and the spy indications let's expect a high around 970. Aaaaand as I complete these comments, here comes the jam. I will see you around the open! Posted by: zman Jun 3 2003, 08:59 AM Good morning all, I have first resistance at 977.23 -- 2nd resistance at 986.27 first support at 961.33-- then at 954.47. Pivot point is at 970.37. Have a good trading day Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 09:10 AM Good morning, I decided that since there are people interested in what I have to say about the markets, it's not fair to them to stop posting completly outside this forum. So I'll open a thread on Talking Stool and post my thoughts on the markets. That of course if I have anything to say. Feel free to comment and add your own opinions too. I posted a message last night and I also answered a question related to the cycles I follow. If you have access to Talking Stool you might want to read it. I'm not going to trade today. Last week it was raining and I didn't play golf so I'll go and tee it up today. The market should put a lower low today, a trade below yesterday's low. I do not have any time pivots pointing to today. I do have a time pivot for tomorrow. As I wrote at TalkingStool I don't think the Nasdaq high is in. The SPX could have been in, but I'm not sure about that either. The truth is that I don't feel confortable right now trading on either side of the trade. So I'll do my best to keep myself out of trouble. I updated the daily index charts on my site so if you like you can go and see the coming time pivots and Fib levels Have a good trading day Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 09:39 AM Stocks with pivots today: IDPH, KSS, SYMC ESRX, MXIM If any of these stocks are putting lower lows today on the daily, the pivot "could" be a low Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 09:40 AM If you need a follow up on any of the setups I mentioned yesterday, please let me know.

Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 10:44 AM Nice old fashioned 1 day cycle swup under way. As I suspected there's evidence of 3 hour waving, as we had a high right around 10:30. This may cause a shift in the expected 5 hr cycle high to somewhat later then 12:30 and close to the expeted 1 day cycle high around 2:00. Overall, it points to some weakness from 1:30- 2:00 to near the end of the day. Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 10:56 AM I like to look at this chart 2-3 times a day.

Posted by: AnotherOne Jun 3 2003, 11:33 AM Hmmm....a quick splurt up just as the intradays looked to be forming a double-top. Closed my QQQ calls too early. Waiting for an intraday top below yesterday's 2:30 pm levels to buy puts. If, for some reason, it exceeds that, I'll have to consider going long again. I'm not expecting it. This market needs a pull-back and consolidation before it tries to break key resisistance levels. Posted by: AnotherOne Jun 3 2003, 11:38 AM On Livecharts, it look's like most of the cycles are tyring to turn up after only a one day pull-back. Doesn't look right, but I'll have to be cautious about shorting.

The strength in equities given the large fed drain of 5.25B, combined with strong buying in treasuries, is inexplicable. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 01:10 PM I'm back.. Did I miss anything? Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:14 PM Not sure what cycle is in charge here. If it's 3 hours, they may drift up until 3. If it's 5 hrs then down until 2:30. 5 hr ozzies are pointing down, and 1 day are still in the process of rolling over. I think odds are good fro a downdraft. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 01:16 PM After going quickly over the oscillators I follow in different timeframes, the indications are that the downside has some more to go before a bounce comes Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:30 PM tentative possible downside cmap on spx 962.50. qqq 29.30. Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:36 PM Anals PM Update- 1:25 The market made a 1 day cycle high at 12:00 and is working its way grudgingly lower. A 5 hour cycle low is due at 2:30, and the 1 day cycle low is due at the close. The 3 day cycle is in a week swup. the 5 day is headed down and the 8 day seems to be slowly rolling over. We should have some downside ahead. Very tentative cmaps at this point are 962.50 on the SPX and 29.30 on QQQ. Given a little early acceleration here it could be a lot worse. Posted by: DoubleFlush Jun 3 2003, 01:37 PM .. Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:42 PM We have a trendline issue right here. See the s40 chart. Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:46 PM and on the qqq it's a neckline issue. See the qqq30 chart. When these break there's gonna be some downside fireworks. Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 01:48 PM they are being defended and with 5 hr low due by 2:30, should generate a bounce.

Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 02:01 PM SPX - 240m There is an important timing for tomorrow for the first half of trading. Using the 60m chart I narrow it down to the second hour of trading and when we apply the variance we get a time window between 9:30 and 11:30. That should be a good pivot, whether it's a high or low.

This is the one that shot up 5 points yesterday. If it manages to hold above 47 and especially above 47.5 while the market is pushing higher, for the day, it could try to test yesterday's high.

Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 03:01 PM Doc, Based on the current cycle configuration can you guess what tomorrow morning might be? I try to see if the morning pivot I have will be a high or a low. Tanks Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 03:06 PM MXIM Another one for tomorrow. Today it tested the trendline that connects the October and February lows. Last time it did that it consolidated for three days and then moved up 4 points. This is the second time it's testing the trendline and the previous bounce didn't put a new high. It could go either way but usually these are the king of positions we want to find stocks in. Decision time and big move moving. We just have to identify the direction Posted by: RockLedge Jun 3 2003, 03:07 PM QUOTE (strikerm3 @ Jun 3 2003, 01:26 PM) volume hitting SIRI again..possible move to 3.50 before this is over....new commercials and races with Nascar will boost popularity as well .....imo of course............staying long until down volume hits..if it does today at all. Yupper,.. the one day chart gave it away... long again @2.14. Lowered my stop... faked me out good last time and took it from me @ 2.11. IMO, I see no resistance on this stock as far as volume is concerned. Valuation, that's a whole another story.... Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 03:08 PM Hard to say which cycle is in control here. If it turns lower in the next few minutes then a 1 day cycle low is due around the close/open. If it holds up, I 'd look for a 5 hr high around 10:30. All depends on what happens now.

I think it will be the first. It should be a low near the open. The 1.618 ratio on the 60m chart doesn't appear in minor cycles. If it's correct, then it should market the high or low for the day. I'll prepare for both scenarios just in case.. Posted by: DoubleFlush Jun 3 2003, 03:15 PM .. Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 03:17 PM right now, 29.74 and 969.50 look like interim cmaps on tis move. that doesn't mean it's over at that point, just that it could be. Won't know until indicators reach extermes in conjunction with cmaps. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 03:18 PM LLTC Add this one for tomorrow as well. Only on the long side.. Mini inverted head and shoulder pattern on the daily, currently on the right shoulder. The pattern starts on 5/5/03 Posted by: drstool Jun 3 2003, 03:22 PM The 5 hr cycle low was almost perfectly on schedule at 2:30, so I gotta go with that. That means that if it turns down before 10:00, bigger waves are starting to come down. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 03:23 PM QCOM Add this too....slightly extended but still below the 36 target we spoke about when it was at 30.. Today the volume is strong and the stock is up 1.35.. Day trade only Posted by: strikerm3 Jun 3 2003, 03:30 PM 5 million share block on SIRI just stalled it... Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 03:31 PM Well.. Judging from all the patterns that I see right now tomorrow should be an up day. It doesn't mean it WILL be, but during an uptend, what we want to see is selloff in the morning and reversals to the upside in the afternoon. As wahoo said yesterday no more that two to three days selloffs. So if tomorrow the market doesn't come out of the pullback to the upside and instead reverses and starts selling off, we will start seeing "cracks" in the structure of the upswing. The same rules apply to a downtrend. Posted by: blackbelt Jun 3 2003, 03:35 PM QUOTE (strikerm3 @ Jun 3 2003, 02:30 PM) 5 million share block on SIRI just stalled it...

Still watching silver for a bottom in the $4.30's to 4.40's to re-enter. Seems to be in a pattern with lows about there and highs in the $4.70's to 4.80's.

Then we'll look ofr the 1 day cycle high at 12:00. Could be higher or lower. That will tell the story of the strength of what looks like a 3 day cycle swup at this point.
