Oscillator Sell Signal

Oscillator gives us a Sell Signal or Sell Warning – which has in the past warned that price may only make a token new high before selling off.

It is important not to think of that as a short signal until we see a confirmation signal such as a move below the mid-point or a short-trigger (8/21 crossover), but does allow us to consider entering an OTM call credit spread as a hedge.

Today's action brings us back within easy strike of the all time high again and yesterdays low held (for now). All good signs that the price structure is now following the split centre (blue).

We should then theoretically grind higher into september 17, pullback into the 23rd, and maybe higher into the 30th.

S/T stopped at 1992

Stopped out again on the S/T position for a small loss. (-6)

Challenging the mid-point at 1985 so a great place to bounce (or die)

The T structure suggests more upside ahead but the oscillator is weakening.

Buy Signal above 1956

With the opening up above 1956, a longer term (L/T) Buy Signal has been made and the mid-point can now be used as a stop in the case of any pullbacks. Target new highs ahead.

Recent trend analysis seems to suggest that the uptrend is accelerating – if this is the case we may see 2040 or even 2050 by end of September.

Buy Signal above 1929

With Friday's relief rally (after Futures sell-off overnight) the market made a Buy Signal during the last few hours and closed above 1929.

A rally to the mid-line at 1955-8 is now on the cards, and possibly a move back to the all-time high for a second look (maybe a kiss goodbye?)

Get is still saying resistance at 1944 and possible lowere low but the T structure is suggestive of a rally into early October. A new high in the 2020's – not out of the question. Certainly if the Russian problem is over?

Oops Argentina!

Yesterday's non response to the Fed + the overnight selloff (Argentina probable default) indicate that a Sell Signal should occur today at the open. It is clear that we need a pullback – but how far down?

Initial support indicated by MOB is 1945 at the 55EMA, then 1935, then 1920s.

As sell signals can rapidly develop into Buy signals at lower levels, I have drawn a possible T structure that could develop out of this, and will re-draw daily.

Sell the news

Blow out news from TWTR, X and GDP
Sell the news and wait for the FED.

A Sell signal is developing today after the early pop-up and drop – currently at 1963.5 at midday
this is on a major trendline from the April low and IF it holds today we could get a rally back to the highs (and beyond)

The last 2 Fed rallys were both about +50 points from similar squeezes – 2015 or 1915?
By end of day we should have a confirmed signal eitherway.
