  • Sideways summer

    Markets did climb last week, before stumbling pretty badly on Thursday, but still ending the lunar Green Period with a decent gain.

  • More to come

    Markets stabilized last week, which is not bad after the drop we saw in early June. But I would prefer to see a bit more upside action, given that we remain in a lunar Green Period. If we do not get any further gains from here, then we are probably setting up for a retest…

  • Ready for rebound

    The Nasdaq has reached our 2900 downside target last week. Many stock indices have reached 3 month lows on the charts, and we are reaching important support levels. Here is the Nasdaq chart (click for larger image): The Nasdaq has come very close to the bottom of its uptrend channel since last summer. A dip…

  • Working its way

    Some interesting moves last week. As we have been telling for weeks, the market is ready for some sideways action after the recent rally. Let’s have a look at the current chart for S&P 500 (click for larger image): The steepest trend channel is being abandoned, which means the downside is opening up and we…

  • Holding up well

    Our lunar Red period has started, but the market is holding up pretty well so far. This suggests the market is trying for a double top with the March highs. We could very well get there later in May, but I think we will see some more hesitation before the Nasdaq gets back above 3100.…
