  • New highs

    Stock markets have held steady, and several market indices have recorded all time highs. Still, most retail investors and people in the street are nowhere near optimistic about the economy. And that probably means there is more upside action to come. We have to bear in mind that the 2008 crisis and market decline is…

  • About the Solar Cycle

    Markets continue to trade with a positive bias, but it is not a crazy race to the top. We will be entering a lunar Red Period this week, so I am looking for a bit of a pause to start. Let’s have a look at the S&P 500 index (click for larger image): This market…

  • Stock markets have started the year strongly, but are hesitating to build on their new year gains. The sunspot number has jumped up to near 200 in recent days (see widget on the right side), which may add to nervousness. But with another week of lunar Green period to go, I am looking for the…

    The markets have continued to sell off without any let-up, so our lunar Green Period has ended with a 129 point loss on the Nasdaq. That’s one of the weakest Green periods in a long time. The implication is that the path of least resistance remains down, and we shouldn’t underestimate the possibility of even…

With another week of lunar Green period to go, I think we will see a rebound attempt that takes us back up to these old support levels. Let’s have a look at the Nasdaq (click for…

  • Winter waves

    Our lunar Red period has just ended and recorded a 90 point decline on the Nasdaq. This is the most bearish Red period so far this year, and confirms that the path of least resistance is down for the moment. Most stock indices sit right on important support levels now, so the question going forward…
