High for the year was in January...could be right...
I did some updating of Dennis Slothower...The Big Picture of Today...on the Intro page...
July 25. 2018
I think we are going to find that corporate earnings actually peaked in the first quarter, that the surging dollar in the second quarter will have slowed earnings growth from the previous quarter, and that the third quarter will slow even more.
The trade wars will also impact corporate earnings, the strong dollar, and the vast majority of stocks. I think the January highs will likely still be the highs for the year.
The bulk of the growth in S&P 500 earnings in the first two quarters have come from one sector — Energy. It dwarfs all other sectors at 145.3% for the quarter.
When Trump came into office, a barrel of oil was approximately $44 and reached $75.27 early this month. This is a 71% increase in the price of oil.
This is where the S&P 500 growth has come from. It is oil-manipulated prosperity, not real economic growth. Remember, energy prices represent an expense for most companies.
Oil production is soaring. The state of Texas is about to surpass Iraq and Iran to become the world’s number 3 oil powerhouse!
U.S. crude oil output is now hitting 11 million barrels a day, the most in history. We are swimming in oil, just as the weather cools into the second half of 2018.

About 5 months ago he also said...
We are now close to the Minsky moment when a sudden collapse of asset values is part of the credit or business cycle and that comes when all technical supports are breached and sell stops are triggered on margined positions.
Imagine what a persistent bear market would be like in a full mauling, where primary supports are violated with great force and program trading bots automatically unload waves and waves of sell programs, triggering margin calls on the largest amount of capital on margin in recorded
history. As the market begins to crash, mutual funds are forced to liquidate positions by panicky investors on each down wave, especially in the ETF funds. We know the conditions are such
that it can happen fast, we just don’t know how fast! Yet, it doesn’t take much imagination to figure this one out.

Astro-O-Ology..."Does the concept of a “status quo” even exist today?"
Interesting and good read this week. I'm only posting a small part of it https://mmacycles.com/index.php?route=blog/article&category_id=1&article_id=209
A powerful lunar eclipse is occurring today, Friday, July 27, 2018. The last full moon lunar eclipse was also powerful, and occurred about six months ago, on Tuesday, January 31, 2018. You may remember that time. The DJIA made its all-time high of 26,616 just three trading days before, on Friday January 26. Other markets like the S&P made their all-time highs the next Monday, January 29. By Friday of that week, the DJIA plummeted 665 points, its sixth largest one-day decline in its history prior to then. The next week, it had two days (Monday and Thursday, February 5 and 8) where it dropped over 1000 points each, for the first time in its history. Can it happen again? Of course, anything is possible, especially since this eclipse also makes a T-square with the unpredictable and unstable Mars/Uranus square.
There are some charting similarities between late January 2018 and today. Last week witnessed the NASDAQ soaring to a new all-time high on Wednesday, July 25, just two days before the current lunar eclipse. That was also the day that Facebook announced its disappointing quarterly report, resulting in the largest one-day loss of market value by any company in stock market history. By Friday, the NASDAQ was down triple digits on the day.
Last week was notable for several equity markets throughout the world. Not only did the tech-heavy NASDAQ index make a new all-time high last week, but so did the Indian Nifty Index on Friday, July 27. Additionally, on the same day, the Netherlands AEX exploded to its highest mark since July 2001, and the Australian ASX (All Ords) index sprung to its highest level since January 2008. In fact, most world indices were rallying sharply for most of last week, until the USA equity markets started falling after the very strong GDP report of Friday morning. It was as if everyone suddenly became moonstruck.
Gold and Silver started to recover after their yearly lows of the prior week, but then ran out of steam after reaching weekly highs on July 25-26. By Friday, July 27, they were again approaching the yearly lows of July 19. Crude oil also tried to recover from its recent decline following its three-year high 75.27 on July 3, but it couldn’t get back above 70.00 all week. Bitcoin, however, rallied to $8482 on July 25, its highest price in two months. But it too fell back into the end of the week.

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

need a price...I don't know what R2K is...show me a link.
What I'm talking about is significant price levels I've seen the intraday charts have difficultyor reversals at...= pivots are not the R1,R2,R3 pivotpoints...just certain pivots
I'm talking actual price action support/resistance/pivot levels...
2820 +/- 10 points=2830/2810= 2830 is resistance until it isn't...2810 is
support until it isn't...
2815 +/- 15 points=2830/2800 today I said I'd rather 2815 was pivot price.
I want to see what the technicals are saying at these price levels. I said I wasn't very confident price would close below 2815...I said this before price moved above 2815...
Daily...I don't use this kind of pivot points...
2820...I don't like it that price closed above 2820...and like yesterday... there was another spike in UP volume the last hour...strong earnings reports continue...and its only Tuesday...
Price defined itself rather well...2820 is pivot (I'd rather 2815 be pivot but the Market doesn't listen to me, I'm suppose to listen to it).
2830 is resistance and 2810 is support until it isn't...
30minute
30minute has gone flatline at CCI centerline
60minute...price would have to get below 2810/2809 to bring the 3 day average into play...20period Bollanger Bands centerline is close enough to be the 3day average on the daily chart...
60minute needs to do a complete down cycle and get oversold...
Daily...I'd like it if price closes below 2815...I'm not very confident it will...3day average=2810/2809...
30minute chart becomes the focus after 15minute CCI crosses its centerline.
2820 was difficult but after that price went fast and now you're exclusive the signals on the 30 minute chart. This down came with a -1000 TICK...which was interesting...undoing the plus 1000 TICK on the open...
15minute
30minute
Daily...all the intraday charts are telling you is a micro view of today's price action of the daily charts one price bar or candle stick...
15minute focus goes to the 15minute chart... 10minute CCI cross below centerline...
10minute...once price was inside the upperBand price tried to walk UP that band and ran into resistance=gives price definition...2830 is resistance until it isn't...price has also tried to bounce off gap support around 2820...
So far price is taking its time...
10minute

add short 2825...this is early...I saw the trade at 2827...

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

Well thanks...ask questions because this is not an easy game...
I hope you read the post (complaint) to Circlem about how bullish I've been...
Right now I'm considering a short at 2825 maybe sooner...it will be early if I take it and then the intraday charts best fall in line...
Recall what I said about FCX...the buy happened...its really not a good buy because of the slow down in China...and dollar strength...But you just hold your nose and see what the market is willing to give you...maybe China news is enough...
Daily...
10minute price is way outside the Bollinger Band...TICK has hit +1000...
Price needs to get back inside the Bollinger Bands and then "define" direction."
I'll walk the intraday charts to see if there is a good short setup...
Price could backtest the 2816 breakout and make another run at UP...or could just decide its on a oneway street and continue up once price is back inside the upperBollinger Band.
10minute Chart...CCI very overbought...can't give price definition when its outside the Bands...other than MANIC...
2804 I would consider a short...Earnings are going to be strong all week; so I'm not looking past 2795.
Need to see how overnight goes...the close today saw some very good UP volume.
Right now the futures are UP $2.50...that can change...one issue is the strong dollar....so have to keep an eye on that...
Daily the signals are there...suggests DOWN...while intraday is trying to finish an UP cycle...I'd rather intraday finish it's cycle.
60minute...
Daily...
Daily UVXY...I MAY TAKE A POSITION $9.50 to 9.60...
Daily...3day average is 2805.70...so you can say the 20period average and Bollinger Bands on the 60 minute chart is close enough to represent the 3 day average...as a day trader you could go long above the 20 period moving average...
60minute
Daily you can start to see the reversal on the %B indicator...you just see it first on the 60minute...so IF you're not sure what the daily is saying...ask the 60 minute what it thinks...
60minute ...some hints of more strength here, may suggest price above 2710.
With all the big earnings reports this week there may be 3-4 days of UP here.
This sideways range of 2800/2810 started to change this morning to the down side...but reversed...so some follow through above 2810 could happen. And the range expands to 2795/2815...
It is nice when daily bias is ready for down and intraday 60 minute gets overbought and hooks up with the daily bias...
Something like 82% of the earnings reports have been beating the estimates...that should be bullish...instead Price has been sideways...
60minute
SPX...right now the daily CCI points down...Bias is down...best trades are with the daily bias...but the intraday cycle is oversold and wants to run the UP part of it's cycle...
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=138725942
30minute...15minute CCI already crossed up above CCI centerline so it is the 30 minute chart that will decide the intraday cycle...it would be best if 30 minute cycle reached overbought...
close 2799 short at 2800...just want to try and get a better price...like something above 2805...
Long ...

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.
