I just finished an update on the key banking indicators and other monetary indicators, in terms of what they tell us about the stock market trend. Very interesting!

The signal is coming from the ratio of xxxx xxxx to total bank deposits, as reported weekly in the Fed’s composite banking system data. That ratio is at an all-time record, tying the peak reached when the stock market topped out in December 2021. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

It’s only flashing red, not solid red. It means that we must stop, look, and listen for the next few weeks to see if this signal goes full red stop, or back to flashing yellow. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Other indicators similarly suggest caution. They’re not outright bearish for the big picture, but they’re in position to develop that way in the weeks ahead. By the same toke, they are also in position to break out and go higher. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Taken together, it means that the market is at a significant inflection point. The information coming from the banking data in the weeks ahead should give us a significant signal on the market’s intermediate term direction. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

This report shows current charts so that you can see for yourself. I’ll track this data for you in the weeks ahead as we stay on the lookout for something big. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Meanwhile, the hourly chart of the ES 24 hour S&P futures looks like a failing bottom setup, with a 5 day cycle projection now pointing to 4410-15.

There are so many downtrending spport lines and levels that they're making my head hurt. 4430, 4422, 4415 etc. But oh my, all that red. We know the dip buyers will appear somewhere. But where?

I'm heading out to explore beautiful Antwerp again, the most interesting, beautiful, and European of big European cities that most Americans have never heard of. It's definitely worth a stop on your next European tour. I have fallen in love with the place and suspect that you will too. 

Belgium is a bilingual country, but the languages are extremely regional. Here in Antwerpen, everybody speaks Dutch. Don't even think of trying to speak French. 😁

So Tot ziens for now!

Riding the waterbus, we are now stopping in Hoboken. That's Hoboken Belgium. By the way Bayonne is in France. So we have Hoboken and Bayonne. In Europe. Just like New Jersey. 😄😄😄

A new downtrend channel has formed and it's pointed toward 4395. That also looks like an updated 5 day cycle projection.

The channel widened, and the angle of the dangle is less sharp. The 5 day cycle projection is now 4410.

The contract rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose 7 basis points to 7.16% in the week ended Aug. 11, according to Mortgage Bankers Association data out Wednesday. The gauge of home-purchase applications slipped for a fifth-straight week to the second-lowest level since 1995.

Remember just a few weeks ago how all the soofayers were saying that the housing market decline was over and I said, just like in 2007?
