Financials Struggling To Find Its Footing Still, Energy Is In A Bear Flag Pattern
My Swing Trading Approach Neutral portfolio – I’ll go the direction the market decides to take today. Indicators VIX – Solid bounce today, but needs to break above the monthly highs to wrestle control from the sellers. T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average) – Breadth was poor yesterday for the bears and it […]
Another Week Of Sub 250K Jobless Claims
It used to be that a weekly reading for initial jobless claims that came in below 300K was a big deal. Nowadays, sub-300K readings don’t even raise an eyebrow as the new 300K is 250K. In this week’s report, first-time jobless claims came in at 234K compared to estimates of 238K. Not only is that […]
USD/CHF: Loses Upside Steam With Further Downside Threats
USD/CHF: With the pair continuing to hold on to its downside pressure despite its consolidation threats, more decline is envisaged. On the downside, support lies at the 0.9600 level. A turn below here will open the door for more weakness towards the 0.9550 level and then the 0.9500 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and […]
Back Toward The Underbelly
Well, my hope that prices would swan-dive away from the broken trendline is denied – or at least delayed – as equity prices clamor back toward the underbelly of the broken trendline. We see that here with the S&P 500 e-mini futures… …as well as the Nasdaq… There’s no particular news driving this (and, to […]

GBP/USD Weekly L3 And D H4 Confluence In Downtrend
The GBP/USD broke below 1.2020, the weekly L3 level, thus turning the support into a resistance. The pair started to retrace towards the POC zone 1.2830-50 (Order block, ATR high, trend line, D H5, EMA89). The price could reject there towards the 1.2880 and 1.2770. Only a break below 1.2768 could spur additional weakness in […]
J.M. Smucker Downgraded On Challenged Coffee, Pet Food Outlook At JPMorgan
JPMorgan analyst Ken Goldman downgraded J.M. Smucker to Neutral from Overweight after the company’s Q1 earnings report and guidance cut, stating that it is becoming “increasingly clear” that the company’s position within the categories of coffee and pet food is “highly challenged.” While the company lowered guidance, he does not think it cut its forecast […]

The 4-week moving average was 237,750, a decrease of 2,750 from the previous week’s unrevised average of […]
Market Odds Of Government Shutdown Surge: Republican Sees “Chances As High 75%”
One week after Goldman raised its odds for a government shutdown from 33% to 50%, days after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin issued the loudest warning yet that the debt ceiling situation has to be resolved over the next month, and one day after Compass Point said that after Trump’s Phoenix rally shutdown threat, the “odds of a government shutdown […]
