Bulls 3 yards and cloud of dust


Recommended Posts

The more time frames one looks at, the more likely one is to find a SMA point of support / resistance somewhere, to explain a price reversal.

 

Is this not correct?

 

And, is there the risk of misleading one's self in the process? :mellow:

 

 

Yes, it is absolutely correct, that is the point I was making. Would you have been more mislead by reading just the hourly chart of BIDU, or looking at all 3 at the same time?

 

The BIDU example is not all that uncommon, and is often why you will see a lot of churning at tops while all the diff time frames start to flatten out, so that they can all start to turn down in unison.

 

I am starting to see that flattening process develop up here on ES swing time frames now. The first big pivot will be a move below 1060. If that happens, then all those shorter time frames will turn into resistance at 1060 for the short term.

 

Often times you will also get a move below the flattening time frames, and then one last push above as the time frames continue to flatten, and then the next time down rolls them all over, and a large decline begins. I have shown below a chart with the 4K tick time frame, which is usually a decent swing trading time frame. As you can see, we pushed back above after the big battle, at 1050, and the 4K is flattening as I described above.

 

If that pivot at 1060 is taken, 1050 will likely fall as well, and lead to a more extended decline. If we run significantly higher than a few more days, then everything starts to turn back up again like early September, and the risk of an extended run to the upside grows. While the top could come at any time, it is a bit risky to be short above that pivot put in on Friday. If it fails on Monday, the bears will very likely be in bizness. But will not be surprised to see a run to 1080 or perhaps a bit beyond.

 

FWIW, this link provides a T-theory case for the top coming Monday.

I am also watching the 50k tick here real closely, especially the cyan 72 MA, as it has flattened out big time after the bounce off the 200. Bears DO NOT want to see that kink upwards, as it usually portends further move in the direction of the kink. It would be best to get back under 1050 before that happens, ideally Monday or Tuesday at the latest, and roll that 72 right on over the 200. We have the Neggie D's big time on this chart. Can the Bears get it done here?

Care may be needed where the comparison in on futures vs cash. An ES day ain't an SPX day. More 1 hour bars on the ES per "day"..

 

Also Charmin -- by your arithmetic, I suppose by adding a whole lot of SMAs on a short timeframe chart, the info otherwise seen on a longer timeframe chart can be seen, all at once on the short timeframe chart.

 

I.e. A 4500 SMA on a 1 minute chart is a 900 SMA on a 5 minute chart.

 

As unsophisticated as I am, I typically use three moving averages - 8,21 and 50 and when I am looking at an hourly chart I know that a 50 bar moving average is an 8 bar moving average in a daily chart or at least an 8 bar moving average in a higher time frame. It does give a bit more perspective when you can see a few important moving averages in one sitting. I have set a 325 bar moving average in an hourly chart to give perspective to the 50 bar moving average in the daily.

If you are using cash that is fine. You cannot compare a 24 hour futures chart in the same manner, unless you multiply inputs by about 4 to compare to daily.

 

For example, hourly ES futures chart generally compares well with 15 min cash. Although there are at times small discrepancies, like in September, when the 15 min cash scored a direct hit, and the hourly futures fell just short of the target. That is why I watch both cash and futures for clues.

Is FHA going broke?

 

More stories of inept government run amok.....taxpayers gonna get da bill....again

 

Barney Frank quickly becoming my least favorite person.

 

The huge increase in risky loans by the FHA is a deliberate policy to try to prop up house prices nationwide. In a remarkable quote, this was admitted to by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) who chairs the House Banking Committee:

 

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing that the bad loans occurred, he said. “It was an effort to keep prices from falling too fast. That’s a policy.

 

Essentially, it is playing the role of a sub-prime lender, and appears to be making many of the same mistakes the fallen or defunct sub-prime lenders made. For starters, it is allowing people to buy with down payments of only 3.5%. Further, people can use the $8,000 first time homebuyer tax credit for that 3.5%. Buy a house and walk away from the closing with a check in your pocket.

 

From the anecdotes in the story, it seems like many of these FHA buyers really have no business being homeowners in the first place, and are being set up to fail.

jickiss is back!

 

 

 

jickiss is back!

 

and

 

Dear roxy, for Sure, it is a lot easier to "Manage" One Billion doolars than to manage and grow, let's say, $100,000 doolars in a trading account. The Big Boyz have the advantage.

 

Back to your question, without saying anything against any anal cyst, (such as Doc) describing the mechanicals and the flows behind the curtain,

 

rather, it is suggested that you just look at a Pairs Chart as follows:

 

just use your Imagination. Imagnine you are running the usa Long Bond Position for the Vat tic can Desk.

 

ok? ok. When you "Run" the position for your Boss, your Boss will give you a Benchmark. The Benchmakr is the USA doolar, for it is still the so called Reserve Currency of the World. Therefore, you will use the following chart to guide (Stress is on the word here GUIDE) your thinking.....

 

in jickiss street talk, your Shorty gave the trouble-sell signal above in the small chart. da USA long Bond is in Trouble. The Major Desks want to lighten their USA long Bonds, or not, But YOU decide, based upon the following jickiss chart.

 

to your jickiss, the following chart says PLENTY.....But not all.....For if you have the Insiders Play Book, and IF there is an attack on the E Peoples by YE, then, expect a doolar rally to "happen by magic." If, again, IF such a doolar rally comes out of East Field, you can then sell ALL of your USA long Bonds into a doolar rally market!

 

Hence, if your jickiss were running the position of the above mentioned desk, (by example) scaling out now would be the idea, with a Large Desire to really hit the Bid if the E peoples are hit. With the Insiders Play Book, you can not lose...without it, well, there is risk is every trade.

 

ok?

 

here is the chart:

Disturbingly, there are only a handful of counties across the nation where mortgage delinquencies are actually improving over last year. (Kudos to Beaverhead, Montana and Red River, Texas!)

Boy does that look like 3 divergent drives to a top...

I think I can make an assumption that this is one big bias shift against the downtrend going on now for 10 year treasuries. A bounce from the 50 day and stochastic turning up from here would be a continuing development against the bias.

As long as that kinking upward 200 day holds, I am bearish on bonds and bullish on yield, especially if we climb back above the 500 MA..

 

IF the 2 hundie fails, I aint gonna rule out new lows in yield. HUGE pivot just set.

along the lines of the BIDU chart before...

 

Here are the 10k and 20K tick looks at ES.

 

After dipping below the 10K line in July, ES bounced right on the 20K, and once back above the 10K, did a shuttle launch after the move over 900.

 

Now we have bounced off the 10K, and if we can get thru on the downside after this leg up finishes, the 20K is most likely first big target downside. If after a bounce there (am guessing around 990-1000), the 20K fails, then I believe the 200 day MA on SPX will come into play, and maybe even fill that July gap at 906. Would have to happen fairly quickly for the gap fill, as 200 MA just starting to rise above 900, and I doubt this coming down leg, if it materializes, would be able to take out that 200.

 

But first we gotta get back below 1060, and more importantly 1050.....

this is amazing, falling taxes surprised them. One time event? what a joke.

 

California Budget Is Already in the Red 10 Weeks After Passage

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will know within a month whether a $1.1 billion drop in revenue collections is part of a growing budget shortfall or an isolated event, his budget spokesman said.

 

Revenue in the three months ended Sept. 30 was 5.3 percent less than assumed in the $85 billion annual budget, state controller John Chiang reported yesterday. Income tax receipts led the gap, as unemployment reached 12.2 percent in August.

 

“The culprit here appears to be estimated quarterly personal income tax statements,” H.D. Palmer, the governor’s budget spokesman, said yesterday. “The numbers are cause for concern, but the issue now for us is to determine if this is a one-time event or whether it has more long-term implications.”

 

The latest figures show that California is facing resurgent fiscal strains brought on by the U.S. recession. Since February, Schwarzenegger and lawmakers have cut $32 billion from spending, raised taxes by $12.5 billion and covered $6 billion more with accounting gimmicks and borrowing. Even with those actions, state budget officials predict an additional $38 billion in deficits in the next three fiscal years combined, including $7.4 billion in the year starting July 1.
