2009-01-02 Market Watch: weekly analysis

收盘小结:

今天石油继续暴涨。所有ETF中,涨的最凶的都和石油有关。从收盘情况看,仍然有新的资金进入,暂时没有下跌风险。

10-yr T-note和30-yr T-bill暴跌,成交量增大。这个对股市是利好。

从周线图上看,今天是周末,突破了前几个星期的盘整区域,所以从图形上看中期看牛。

以前的波浪图需要重新看,晚上再说。

我的感觉是,既然冲过了918前一个高点,下来很可能到950。但今天还是假日,情况未必是真实的。

看蛇老大的图:

001指示的很可能是大盘的顶部。

002:技术指标超买,但pattern突破,另外最近几天成交量一直上升(有假日缘故),所以超买不一定算数。

其它短期的日线图上看,怎么都已经超买了,技术上需要回调。

所以现在信息不明确,作空暂时要作为短期仓位处理。XLF是各个sector中比较弱的。我认为下一个交易日不一定马上下跌,所以建议大家观望,盘后不要进入,等周一。进入的暂时拿稳,熊市作空终究是可以出水的。

另外,为了安全起见,不建议long 3x ETF,因为母鸡的过程中损失比较大。3X ETF适合去short。我进入BGZ是头一次,那个账户不能short,我准备最多拿5天。

谢谢!

Last weekly analysis.  Over the short term the market is deeply overbought, however it has broken out the previous consolidation range at the upside.  We have to see how the market pulls back in the next week and judge whether the trend is upward.

Overview of World Markets and Sectors

In this week the US market is much stronger than the other parts of the world, which is show in the following chart.

image (world markets) image (relative strength)

The next chart shows the MSCI World/EAFE/Emerging Market, Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index, Hang Seng Index, and Nikkei 225 index.  Most markets have recovered significantly from the November low.  Besides mainland China market, other markets are making higher low, which is a bullish sign.

image

Major indices, commodities, and US dollar are shown in the next chart.  The crude oil is bouncing back, and this causes the strong rebound of commodities.  At the same time, gold is making higher low and high, and US dollar is bullish too.  Among the major indices, DJIA is relatively weaker, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 are stronger.  Frankly speaking, the markets look bullish (over the short term).

Sector overview chart.  Only XLV and XLY are still stronger than others, XLF is the weakest, technology and energy sectors are at the resistance.

image

SPX

Now it's very clear that the wave C of 4 has not finished.  And the alternative counting of wave C should be valid.  Based on this counting, the intermediate term trend is bullish and the potential target could be 967 or even 1035.  The next stop could be 946.  However this doesn't mean SPX should go there in a straight way, actually there should be a major pullback before reaching the top.

image (SPX daily)

On the P&F chart, we can see that the first breakout is at 880-885, and the second at 915-920, now SPX is approaching the next stop at 945-950 which agrees with the Fibonacci level.

image (SPX)

Last weekend I under-estimated that SPX should go to 880-890 before dropping to 860, now it has reached much higher.  Assuming SPX is still in corrective wave, I expect it pulls back to 885-900 in the near term.

image (SPX hourly)

XLF and SKF

Last weekend the sell signal of SKF was confirmed and now it got deeply oversold.  IMO the SKF is a buy and the short term target is 114-115 once it takes off.

image (SKF hourly)

Forex

USD/CAD: it seems the downside space is still pretty big.

image

USD/SGD: still the previous outlook, further rebound is expected after a moderate pullback.

image

EUR/USD: expecting further weakening.

image

Commodities

No update to the long term.

In the short term I expect gold to pullback a bit.

The daily chart of the crude oil looks quite funny (left), so let's take a look at the hourly chart.

Miscellaneous

The US treasury-bill and treasury-note futures are breaking down.  This is bullish to the stock market.

Housing index futures: no improvement on the chart.  This should be reflected into URE soon or later.

2008-12-31 Market Watch

Today is the end of 2008, an extraordinary year when the market made the remarkable selling-off.  Let's check the SPX chart of different time frames first.

image (SPX daily, roughly in the down channel, still in consolidation)

image (SPX weekly)

image (SPX monthly)

image (SPX 60-min)

image (SPX 15-min, the downside target is still the previous resistance zone 880-885)

image (SPY 5-min, note the largest volume bars and corresponding price levels)

image (/ES 1-min)

image (/CL, the crude oil, bullish)

image (/DX, the US dollar index future, failed at the resistance)

image (SKF hourly, it's a buy.  If it goes below 103 on Friday, buy more)

Summary: the market is at the short term top and should pull back immediately.  However, should SPX go up to 918 it may rally much further although this scenario is very unlikely.

Trading system signal: buy SKF at the market open.

2008-12-30 Market Watch

今天SPX从盘整状态中脱离了出来,向上方突破,越过了MA50。近几天成交量逐渐上升,今天收盘收最高,这都是比较好的特征。

看cobra的图:
002: RSI2超买,其它信号中性。
003: RSI再次逼近回调位置。
103: SPY 30-min: RSI超买,形成轻微的negative divergence。
104: SPY 15-min: 两个技术指标都超买,有些许negative divergence。假如把盘中回调看作牛旗的话,还有上升空间。
105: 今天是major accumulation day,很牛!
200: VIX继续下跌,信号中性,看牛!

因此,今天的上涨是好的。但是,由于收盘之前的双曲线上涨,无论是SPX还是XLF,60-min, 15-min, 5-min图上都已经超买,技术上需要回调和修正。因此,明天早盘可能回调,如果继续上涨,无疑是short的低风险进入点。

建议:收盘可酌情short,但量一定要小。不可以追高,等回调再说。实际上,不做多是最安全的。

image (SPX daily, still in corrective wave)

image (SPX hourly, don't be too optimistic, it could drop right here)

image (SPX 15-min) image (SPX hourly, overview of left chart)

image (/ES 1-min, note the support/resistance level)

image (/CL, the Crude Oil Futures, hourly)

Summary: prepare to stand at the short side.

Trading system signal: long SKF at the market open.  (SPY is a short)

2008-12-29 Market Watch

大盘早上跌,下午拉回来,快收盘的时候short的cover了不少,成交量还是很小,放假还没有完吧。收盘价和昨天比没有变多少,基本上是方向未定。

从今天的观察和分析看,最近大盘反弹的可能还是有的。今天重新测试了下放的支撑并反弹了。石油继续看好。ES有点像falling wedge,我的近期上方目标在880-890左右。

XLF还是比较弱。但SKF不是进入的时机。

cobra的002图中性,其它的图也都没有什么好说的。

总的来说,还是一个猴市。另外成交量太小,真正的趋势也没有形成(现在即使有趋势也无法确认)。收盘我没有任何动作,继续母鸡。耐心等待反弹的完成再加空仓。

谢谢!

image (SPX daily, still unresolved.  However the mid-term trend is likely bearish)

image (SPX hourly)

image (/ES hourly, short-term bullish should the key level 875 hold)

image (XLF hourly, it's going to burst to either direction very soon.  Follow the BO!)

Summary: the market is close to overbought so it might slightly pullback in the morning.  However the short term outlook is still bullish.

Trading system signal: short SKF.
