2008-11-01 Fed charts update

Update to the special report.

BOGNONBR: Non-borrowed reserves of depository institutions.  Now it becomes even worse.

1

TERMAUC: Term Auction Credit.  There is no update on the website.

MULT: M1 Money Multiplier.  It dived even further and there is no improvement at all.

2

BASENS: St. Louis Adjusted Monetary Base.  It is out of control.

3

For explanation of the chars, read the special report.  My conclusion is that, the economy is going down, no sign of recovery at the moment.

2008-10-31 Market Watch: weekly analysis

Here is the last weekly analysis.  Now we got a short-term rally, a really violent one.  My strategy is changed to short on rally of ultrashort ETF's cautiously -- in another words short-term long.

Market Overview


The volatility dropped down in this week although it is still very high.  On the right it's Matthew's VIX chart.

TED spread didn't change so much but it looks better than the last few weeks.

The following chart shows the MSCI World index, MSCI EAFE index, MSCI Emerging Market, Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index, Hang Seng Index, and Nikkei 225 index.  One can see that almost all markets are bouncing back.

image

Major indices, commodities, and US dollar are shown in the following chart.  Stocks seem being improved, but commodities are still at a low level.

image

Sector overview chart: all sectors look identical, there is no clear winner.

image

Glance of major indices and bullish percent: they look like mid-term long, but I am not convinced.

Wave Counting


SPX: [left] overview of waves; [right] close up.  Wave are in wave iv of wave 3.

image image

spx-15 (SPX-60min)

QQQQ: consistent with SPX.

image

SKF: bounce over 140 is a short.

image

INDU 60-min and SPX 60-min:

image image

Forex


USD/CAD: the recent crash and violent rebound have invalidated the previous wave counting.  Now it has approached to a resistance level.  My feeling is that it may go back to 1.1 in the near term.

image

USD/SGD: approaching to a resistance.

image

USD/JPY: it is recovering but don't forget the primary trend.

image image

USD/EUR: the game is paused but not over yet.

image

Commodities


Gold (continuous adjusted): Here is the monthly chart of gold price since 1974.  It's at a key support/resistance level.

image

Crude oil (continuous adjusted)

The following chart [left] shows the adjusted crude oil price since 1983.  It dropped to Fib 61.8% precisely.

Matthew's charts


INDU daily: If it can break the upper edge of the consolidation region, it will be quite bullish.  Note the TRIX has given a signal.

1

SPX TRIX: bullish.

spx

NASI: mid-term signal is almost there.

nasi

SDS system: signal is short.

sds

Others


EWZ: short! so is FXI.  Many ETF's are due for a pullback in the beginning of the next week.
