2009-02-14 Market Watch: weekly analysis

[Last weekly analysis].  The gain of last week has been completely taken out by the red candle of this week.  The chart is neutral since the it still looks like a range bounding.

Overview of World Markets and Sectors

On the weekly chart, as pointed out in the last week the worlds markets are quite steady, emerging market looks better than developed market which is a good sign.

image world market weeklyimage relative strength

The next chart shows the MSCI World/EAFE/Emerging Market, Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index, Hang Seng Index, and Nikkei 225 index.  SSEC looks bullish, and so is the emerging market.

image

Major indices, commodities, and US dollar are shown in the next chart.  Nasdaq is still very strong with higher high and higher low.  DJIA is in a descending channel.  Since Russell 2000 and Wildshire 5000 are all range bounding, it's hard to claim that the market condition is improving, and in fact people are probably betting the techs could save the world.  US dollar is unable to break the upper barrier, and the potential trend reversal could pump up the commodities which is lagging behind.

Sector overview chart.  Note the weak sectors: financial, consumer staples, and industrials.  On the other hand health care sector is strong which possibly means investors are seeking for safe territories for the fund, while it's interesting to see how long the technology sector can keep strong.

SPX

Firstly let's take a look at the futures.  The sell off in the last several minutes put ES at maximum pullback target.  If ES takes off at the current level, it can still break out Fib 50% area (marked as gray rectangle) and potentially go close to 850.

The scenario A proposed in the last week is more likely at the moment.  No update to scenario B unless 873 on ES is decisively taken out.

Last week, P&F chart clearly showed that SPX would test the resistance, and finally it fell down and formed a range bounding or double top pattern.  Confirmation of breakout will take the index to November low, which is why the target price on the target is so discouraging.

On the hourly chart SPX is neutral, and 845-850 is still reachable at the upside.

XLF and SKF

SKF is neutral, no buy signal yet.  No update this week.

Forex

US dollar: RSI is falling while the price is steady, this means the trend could reverse at any time.  On the other hand, there could be a final rise up if the triangle pattern is resolved at the up side.

image DX daily

Euro: it's not a surprise that euro is at the opposite of US dollar.

image

Japanese Yen: the triangle can be resolved at either side, where the down side is a good news for the stock market.

Commodities

Gold: it broke out, let's see how severe the pull back is.

No update to the crude oil.

2009-02-11 Market Watch


我早上给弟兄们打过招呼,今天中午有事没法写小结。以后每个星期三都没有小结。当然我也说了,今天没有情况,没有行动,手慢的弟兄们继续母鸡。

过了盘后买卖的最佳时间,小结没有意义了,我就随便说一下吧。

先提一下,我写小结的意义是两点:回顾今天各个市场上发生了什么情况,提醒现在指数处在什么位置;盘后操作,因为我是天天工作的,没法DT,早上和收盘是操作的最佳时刻。

如果蛇老大的报告是收盘时候出,我们按照那个报告操作,肯定很好。但是晚上看第二天涨跌已经晚了,因为没法布局了,大家又不上期货。

回过来谈市场。

昨天没有完全到预想的支撑线位置,但从收盘的情况看,极短期的底部已经有了。所以今天不应该有太大的情况。今天的周边市场很糟糕,按照以往应该跌3%以上,但实际发生的情况是:熊熊放水;板块轮转。后来可能发生的就是掩护撤退(我现在的猜测)。

假如没有意外,注意观察期货走势(链接在看盘的帖子里面),可能发生的情况是:
  • 美元下跌,欧元反弹;
  • 黄金盘整或下跌;
  • 石油反弹;
  • 亚洲市场反弹。
如果是这样的话,就证实了今天的市场状况和我的看法,市场极短期的底部已经确立,会有短暂的反弹,超过今天的高点,熊熊们又可以买便宜货了。

但是,我作为坚持做空和母鸡的青蛙,提醒弟兄们不要做多。这年头什么意外情况都可能发生。现在要反弹,你可以没有做空仓位,但不可以冒险做多。高手和快手例外,比如喵喵,我说的是青蛙弟兄们。

谢谢大家长期的支持!

2009-02-10 Market Watch

今天大盘图穷匕见,跌起来穷凶极恶,基本上把前一段时间的上涨抹去了一大半。目前来看,ES正在下一个支撑的上面徘徊,由于极度超卖,目前ES正在盘整小反弹。今天是一个major distribution day,下跌幅度很大,有反弹可能性,所以短期做空的要锁定一部分利润。从收盘情况看,short covering量稀少,对明天不看好。

image ES hourly

从波浪角度看,目前还是存在两种可能的走法:直接从这里下去到11月20日低点;或者拉高到1000+。第一种可能目前看起来比较大,但不应该是直线下去。从波浪结构上看,我维持中期做空的基本策略不变,但在低点位不会重仓,随时会套利或对冲。

image SPX daily, wave counting

看NQ,科技股在这次大跌中表现很好,市场内在涨势应该还在。如果做多或抄底,应该继续考虑QQQQ相关的。同样,从NQ感觉目前做空还是要谨慎。

image NQ hourly

金融就不用单独说了,每次下跌都有“我不下地域谁下地狱”的精神,总是冲在最前头。但由于成交量最近把握的不好,我不建议去抢这个风头。

石油期货故技重施,先拉高,然后跟随大盘跌成大红,突破前期低点,反弹非常弱。没有石油的参与,能源股走不了多远,大盘同样也不行。

image CLh9, hourly

美元昨天夜里跳空,虽然拉下去填了空,但今天还是涨的很高。按照我的理解,这个是股市和汇市的相互作用,虽然谈不上谁拉动谁,但总是操作的一个参考。美元期货成交量大,所以暂时还不看好股市。欧元是相互对应的,就不多说了。日元期货图上能够找到同样的图形,自己看吧。

黄金的走势和美元是背离的,暂时不多说了,继续观察。值得注意的是,T-bond/T-note反弹强烈,这个对金融的影响需要继续关注。

蛇老大的图:

0.0.2 SPY Short-term Trading Signal: 下跌放量,还在盘整区间。
0.0.3 SPX Intermediate-term Trading Signals:中期信号又要whipsaw了,测试趋势线。注意趋势线不能测试的太多,多了就容易破。
1.0.3 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 30 min): 严重超卖,STO看立刻反弹。
1.0.4 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 15 min): 同样的意思,看反弹。
2.8.0 CBOE Options Equity Put/Call Ratio:今天怎么也得突破趋势线了,说明现在是短期顶部开始的下跌。
2.8.1 CBOE Options Total Put/Call Ratio: CPC理论再度得到验证,看下跌。

总结:建议短期做空的锁定一部分利润,中期做空的可以继续母鸡,注意设置stop,手快的可以抄一小部分底,但多数青蛙弟兄们都是手慢而且没有什么主意的,就要继续母鸡。

2009-02-09 Market Watch

大盘今天测试前期高点ES 876,差一点点就到了,蜡烛图是一个Doji。无论从成交量还是价格走势上看,目前都处于等待状态。ES的875-876是前期高点,也是Fibonacci 38.2%,构成了一个阻力。目前有突破之后再回头的可能性。ES在小时图超买并形成negative divergence之后盘整,超买压力部分解除。科技股仍然强劲,NQ今天继续涨了。

image ES hourlyimage NQ hourly

石油期货冲高到昨天的水平之后大幅度回落。相比上周有小幅度下跌。

image CLH9 houly

欧元还在阻力区盘整,上下突破都有可能,不排除小牛旗的可能。美元突破支撑下跌,今天稍微有所反弹。注意黄金也下跌了。

image6E houlyimage DX hourly

今天金融股比较好,XLF上涨了1.22%,仍然超买。

0.0.2 SPY Short-term Trading Signals: 仍然在盘整区域之内,连续上涨3天,成交量逐渐萎缩,STO/RSI均超买,NYADV上升空间不大了,TICK超买看回调。

0.0.3 SPX Intermediate-term Trading Signal:中期目前是买入信号。

0.0.4 SPX:CPCE:CPC非常低,看短期最后的上涨之后的大回调。

1.0.3 1.0.4 SPY 30-min and 15-min都是中性偏超买(周五的超买已经解除),上方有阻力。这个图目前不很重要。

2.4.2 NYSE - Issues Advancing:注意上涨股大幅度减少。

2.8.0 CBOE Options Equity Put/Call Ratio: 应该还没有更新,现在看不见spike。

2.8.1 CBOE Options Total Put/Call Ratio:非常低,可能是短期见顶信号。

总结起来,大盘走势目前看比较强,但近期可能有大的回调。按照以往,现在收盘时候是做空的好时候,但最近我做的不好,不喊进入空仓了。已经有空仓的可以耐心等待。有short term long position的需要设置好stop,随时准备退出,或上空仓对冲。
