NASDAQ update
Posted on March 10, 2014 Leave a Comment
cliff notes: most all of the targets that I had for the NAZZIE have been defeated. There is one more target (shown) that should cause strong resistance. nothing else has, but it still needs to be respected. also, note the PRICE and TIME correspondence coming into play w/ the all time high in the NASDAQ and the calendar day count. We are close to PRICE equals TIME. Stay tuned …
Dollar Index update before NFP

Cliff Notes:
- thrust and momentum into the final pattern level at 79.52 is strong // warns of a failure. a BIG deal.
- losing this level will open 79.00 // can’t stress enough the importance of this most recent action w/in the FX world.
- Chinese Yuan completed a perfect pattern and is moving up .. (WATCH THIS CLOSELY)
Chinese Yuan continued

in our last post we proposed 3 outcomes:
- the intervention was a shot across the bow … ruffle the feathers, so to speak, of the derivatives and carry trades being worked on this “no brainer” trade…
- it was the normal course of events, and things would return back to normal.
- this was a trend change and it could have global repercussions.
obviously, we don’t want the last one and right now it appears that we are somewhere in between the first two bullets above. that being said, trying to NOT take into account that this isn’t truly a liquid instrument I still “trust” that the patterns will prevail. So, some key levels are noted. Let’s watch the show because the last thing we want is support to hold and then interventions and massive moves up to occur.
right now …everything is normal?
Chart of the Day … the BEARISH PATTERN completing on XLF
Posted on March 5, 2014 Leave a Comment
CLIFF NOTE: the classic AB=CD sell pattern is complete on the XLF.
my last post on XLF depicting this pattern: https://bartscharts.com/2013/09/14/part-ii-the-sp-500-and-too-big-to-fail/
it’s all probability and, quite frankly, the probability certainly appears to be in the favor of the bulls …
so, the financials “broke out” and, as a PURE pattern recognition chartist they broke out right into a bearish sell pattern …
WYNN pattern complete

cliff notes:
- candle strength is still strong but the target that we ID’d has been hit.
- wait for a MONTHLY signal reversal candle to go short.
- the last 4 months of candles are very powerful, so be patient.
- the original sell pattern got steam rolled so … wait for some weakness on this one.

A monster move …

a lot of work goes into finding high probability set-ups … this was our last post on Coffee Futures and SBUX. I had been trying to find an end (not trying to call a top but simply look for a pattern) to the SBUX run. Ratio analysis was finally sealed the deal for me …
the cliff notes was that it wasn’t the price of coffee but the relative strength (COFFEE/SBUX) that had synced nicely.
the Coffee futures came down to the monthly node ID’d here:
and the result …
folks, this is a monster move! so what happened to the ratio?
the COFFEE/SBUX ratio before:
the COFFEE/SBUX ratio after:
here’s the charts of SBUX and GMCR

TOO BIG TO FAIL …again?

it’s Sunday night and another 10-12″ is coming our way in Leesburg, VA. The Asian markets are opening down 1-1.3% and EVERYONE is focusing on Ukraine. And, well, rightly so. That being said, believe we also need to look over at China. A financial crisis is brewing. The Chinese Yuan crashed last week due to intervention by the Chinese government. Why is this a big deal? The same reason 2007-2008 was a thumping … D E R I V A T I V E S. Leveraged carry trades have been the no brainer trade …that all got spooked last week. The potential losses to the “too big to fail” banks is in the 100’s of billions …
Folks … get ready to rumble …
GOOG update …

continuing to work GOOG as one, if note the most, “important” stocks to be watching w/ regards to it’s weighting, psychological effect, etc …click the link below to see previous posts. we are in another zone of targets that “probably won’t” hold it, because as luck would have it his stock is NEVER going to go down.
https://bartscharts.com//?s=goog
did some quick geometry, like that of IBB, and it’s looking like GOOG has or is about to “parabolic” … but don’t worry about that because, well, the stock is never going down.
at or close to being parabolic … but don’t worry, it’s never going down.
