Saturday Review

Saturday Review’s recording (for 11/19/16) …

This weekend’s Saturday Review caught up with the two major current influences: a test of the 2185.00-2186.00 objective, and a bearish WedEX still playing out. The likeliest possible resolutions are put into perspective of Thanksgiving’s seasonal bullishness influence. Other near-term bearish catalysts include a Mario Draghi appearance Monday, and FOMC Minutes being released into an unusually illiquid Wednesday afternoon environment.

Conclusion: A dip should be obvious quickly, or else it may be avoided until after the holiday.

Potential downsides for a dip was described, and the reasons for them, down to 2162.00 or 2141.00. Deeper potential was also described, but generally dismissed for the next downleg, since such productive reversals typically don’t originate at expiration.

Reversing down near-term is likely also because of other factors, such as Friday avoiding a new high close that would have entrenched its uptrend, interest rates having become very attractive vs. stock valuations, and my own proprietary observations among the ES-NQ-YM index risk spectrum. Extending higher anyway or eventually, however unlikely, would next target the 2220.00 area.

11/19/2016 09:37:12 charlie: hi
11/19/2016 09:57:30 d: after the election would you categorize some the sectors of the market like the bond market,russell,financials went into an up crash?. Was the rally in the market was because of the bond markt sell offf?
11/19/2016 09:59:48 Mark Glezer: is 62 likelier than 41 in this setup?
11/19/2016 10:15:40 d: GILD,IBB
11/19/2016 10:21:44 Mark Glezer: elaborating on my Q above. 10 pts move on ES is roughly equivalent to 100 pts move on DOW. A move to 41 could be equivalent to 400 pts drop in DOW and that is not very likely over the course of the next 2 days without a significant news even
11/19/2016 10:21:47 Mark Glezer: event
11/19/2016 10:21:54 Bill G: APPL,XLV
11/19/2016 10:22:17 d: ADBE,CRM
11/19/2016 10:26:30 Bill G: Mark—A 200 pt drop in the Dow would be near the 18650 tgt and also 2142 es
11/19/2016 10:27:41 Mark Glezer: oops maybe I’m wrong
11/19/2016 10:30:12 Bill G: Mark, your not wrong, I meant 2162 es
11/19/2016 10:31:51 Mark Glezer: got u Bill – it’s cool
11/19/2016 10:33:19 Mark Glezer: that’s why I imply that 62 might be slightly likelier since 200 is likelier than 400 but Rod addressed that
11/19/2016 10:33:36 Bill G: I agree
11/19/2016 10:45:01 Bill G: Probably too many steps ahead, but if the mkt works its way up to 2220, woluld that be a reasonable level to expect an intermediate correction dn to 1980ish
11/19/2016 10:46:21 Mark Glezer: yes
11/19/2016 10:46:25 Bill G: yes

We have two big developments to discuss — my upside target has been tested, retested, and re-retested without breaking, while we’re in the middle of a WedEX signal. All amidst a suddenly changed investment environment, which Zerohedge has helpfully described in bullet points:

Some context for the recent moves…

Russell 2000 Biggest 2 week gain since July 2009
Dow Biggest 2 week gain since Dec 2011
S&P Biggest 2 week gain since Oct 2014
EURUSD Longest win streak since Lehman (Oct 2008)
Dollar Index Biggest 2 week gain since Lehman (Oct 2008)
US Treasury Bond Biggest 2 week loss since Jan 2009
Global Bonds Biggest 2 week loss EVER
Gold Biggest 2 week loss since June 2013
Copper Biggest 2 week gain since Feb 2010

Which leaves asset classes at extremes…

USD Index Most Overbought since September 2014
USDJPY Most Overbought since June 2015
USDCNH Most Overbought since Aug 2015
Dow Most Overbought since Nov 2014
Russell 2000 Most Overbought since Jan 2013
Major Financials SPDR Most Overbought since April 2010
Regional Financials Most Overbought EVER
Copper Most Overbought EVER
Gold Most Oversold since Nov 2015
Global Bonds Most Oversold since April 2000
EM Bonds Most Oversold since Dec 2014
Treasury Bond Most Oversold since June 2007

Spot the odd ‘market’ out… US Equities are the only winners…

Saturday Review’s recording (for 11/12/16) …

Interest rates have become very attractive compared to stocks, which rallied sharply last week. Rotation may have begun already, but only on the margins, so stocks may have more upside. But it’s not often too long after Gold tumbles that stocks tend to follow.

Meanwhile, Tuesday night’s plunge left a mark. But it didn’t change the structure that greeted last week’s rally. Saturday Review describes that impact, and also addresses the market’s likely paths, their levels, and characteristics to expect.

11/12/2016 09:31:32 David B: Good Morning
11/12/2016 09:32:08 Mark Glezer: gm
11/12/2016 09:32:11 charlie: hi
11/12/2016 09:51:20 Mark Glezer: historically limit downs retested within a month or so?
11/12/2016 09:54:48 sm: While there is “no particular timeframe” on the retest of last weeks low, is there nevertheless a persistent drag on the market’s ability to rally from here – to new highs and beyond? At what point would the market escape the ‘magnetic pull’ of the need to retest that low?
11/12/2016 09:56:05 Mark Glezer: major indexes showed a bearish relationship lately, is that still the case?
11/12/2016 10:09:07 sm: Since the NQs generally represent speculative interest (relative to the S&Ps and DOW), how does this underperformance square with your earlier comment that the context of the rally right now (which has the needed retest of last week’s low still outstanding) will be characteried by speculative fervor?
11/12/2016 10:10:14 Mark Glezer: fresh high in ES – meaning 86-87 would not suffice to expect a durable reversal?
11/12/2016 10:15:34 Mark Glezer: BAC – off to the races?
11/12/2016 10:15:54 sm: Reaching 87 – 92 WOULD change the structure – would it not?
11/12/2016 10:16:15 sm: Isn’t that a new high?
11/12/2016 10:16:52 sm: I interpreted your meaning of ‘structure’ as lower lows and lower highs
11/12/2016 10:17:57 sm: I guess that’s what I’m saying – that if a new high is seen, it means that we have a new structure of higher highs (and higher lows) underway.
11/12/2016 10:22:25 David B: has 2120 and 2160 cash been a very influence level on a break below. it seems when we godown they seem to bounce back above
11/12/2016 10:22:39 David B: godown=gone down
11/12/2016 10:29:15 Bill G: NFLX still above lower highs
11/12/2016 10:30:19 Mark Glezer: thx much
11/12/2016 10:30:28 charlie: tks
11/12/2016 10:31:06 sm: thx

Certainly among the most interesting weeks I’ve ever experienced. But still only a contender. And most of the others were within the past year or two. In the excitement, prices change so dramatically that normal relationships don’t keep pace. We’ll look at some of those opportunities during this weekend’s Saturday Review.

Sunday night’s Globex chaRTroom link

However skillful GOP candidate Trump may be at keeping the spotlight on him, he could still take a lesson from FBI Director Comey. He has just announced no change to his investigation’s previous conclusion not to recommend charges. His name is on everyone’s lips, as it was last Friday. Not for his magic ability to review 650,000 emails in a time frame far shorter than his own original projection.

Anyway, his about-face is likely to have the same effect on S&Ps, which slid 56 points in the interim. Combined with the 2077.50 target having been met to within 6 ticks at Friday’s lows, a sizeable bounce is all but assured. Other factors prevent it from being durable — like the gap back to Friday’s close which would be left outstanding.

So, is it over? Proximity to the election probably inhibits Clinton from dropping another October-like surprise, as it would distract attention from her being cleared. In her favor, Wikileaks needs to release video footage of a capital crime to move the dial any more. Few would be surprised they have it, but for now we’ll focus on tonight’s Globex session, which opens at 6:00pm ET. You can monitor it in the chaRTroom…
