Fake News Reports The Bull Market Isn’t Over
CNN Money reports the good news that the bull market isn’t over just yet: “Dow soars 432 points.However, personally I’m still thinking the advance that began in March 2009, ten years ago is getting pretty long in the tooth.
Reasons To Avoid The Stock Market
Deflation seems to be the primary theme in the market. The last time the Dow Jones saw its BEV value at -8% was in early July of this year. It took fifty-three NYSE trading sessions for the bulls to work up to a new all-time high on September 20.
The Hot Breath Of Mr. Bear On The Back Of My Neck
Extreme volatility (Dow Jones 2% Days) continues in the market; Tuesday saw the Dow Jones close 2.17% above the previous day’s close. So, that’s the third day of extreme volatility in the past two weeks and that isn’t normal, or bullish.
Big Problems In The Stock Market
It’s a better than house odds bet that we’ll see more extreme market events in the weeks to come. That can’t be good for the Dow Jones. I say that because NYSE 52Wk Lows have been increasing in the past few weeks.
A Look At The Mortgage Market
This week the Dow Jones on Tuesday and Wednesday closed at all-time highs. That makes four new BEV Zeros in the BEV chart below in the past ten trading days, and that’s something I can’t complain about.
Gold And Silver Days Of Extreme Volatility
Last week the Dow Jones saw new all-time highs on Thursday and Friday, but this week it saw none, closing the week -1.07% from last week’s close. Is this the pause that refreshes? It very well could be, and then maybe not.
Dow Jones’ Bear’s Eye View From 1885 To 2018
The Dow Jones saw two new all-time highs this week. These new all-time highs in the Dow Jones marks the termination of the fourth correction in the post sub-prime/credit crisis bull market
Did Gold Hit Bottom On August 15?
The stock market is advancing perversely again, rising on declining trading volume. The Dow Jones bottomed on March 23, and has been rising ever sense on declining trading volume. That’s unnatural.
The Dow Jones Advances As Gold Declines
The Dow Jones did well this week. Hopefully it can take that out next week, but who can say whether it will or not? So let’s all cross our fingers and hope for the best.
Daily Volatility In Gold, Silver And The Dow Jones
The stock market is in its dog days of summer; for the past month the Dow Jones didn’t want to go up yet refuses to go down. Since July 16 the Dow Jones has remained in a tight trading range in the BEV chart below, from -3.71% down to -5.91%.
Market Update For The Week Of August 6
Eighty-one days after April 11 gold has fallen 10.23%, which from a gold bull’s perspective is better than the declines seen in 2011 or 1980.
Step Sum Symmetry
Since late March the Dow Jones has reversed direction, developing a new trend with its recent pattern of higher highs and higher lows. So what’s driving the Dow Jones higher? Well, it’s not higher earnings.
The Step Sum’s 15 Count - Measuring Buying And Selling Pressure
The decline in the Dow Jones since late January could very well prove to be just one more correction in an advance that began on 2009. All it would take is for the Dow to move up by less than 6% from the close of the week and make an all-time high.
Market Update And A Reader Request
This is a market that could very well see new all-time highs in the next month or two. It could also work out that the last all-time high of January 26th will stand as the last new all-time high for the March 9, 2009 to the January 2018 advance.
Sit Down And Shut Up
The Dow Jones Total Market Groups’ (DJTMG) top 20 closed the week at 49. This isn’t a market shattering event, not so far anyway. But should the top 20 continue declining, at some point it will be.
Historic Step Sum Bear Boxes & US Treasury Bonds
A third failure of the Dow Jones to get above, and stay above the BEV -5% line is interesting. Whether the Dow Jones breaks above one, or below the other may tell us how goes the stock market for the next few months.
