Bear Trap Alerts

As the phrase implies, a "bear trap" in trading is a situation where markets seemingly tempt bears to put on aggressive short positions at precisely the wrong time. A down move which looks like a clear-cut breakdown suddenly reverses on a dime and, effectively, traps in shorts who had been pressing for a fresh move lower. And just this...

Heavy Lifting: But is it Natty?

Both Apple and Intel are surging higher after earnings this morning which is, clearly, more than offsetting weakness in shares of AMZN. Beyond that, AAPL and INTC are housed in both the Dow as well as the QQQ ETF, leading a double-whammy of the indices painting much higher.

This Market Reminds Me of Warm Autumn Days

During most autumns there comes a moment, right around now usually, where we see unseasonably warm temperatures for a week or two in a row. In that instance it is human nature to extrapolate and think, "Maybe it won't get too cold this winter; Heck, maybe even winter entirely misses us this year!" Of course, the moment always passes.

Know Which Way the Wind Blows

With the Dollar and rates both sinking this morning, equity bulls have an opening to rally as year-end seasonality turns more bullish in a pronounced manner. True, the FOMC, followed by the midterms, not to mention tonight's GOOGL MSFT V earnings (just to get the ball rolling before AAPL AMZN META later this week) and a side dish of Russia and...

Japan is Clearly Sweating This Level

The Dollar/Yen currency cross, below on the hourly timeframe, has actually been in a strong uptrend since the beginning of 2021. However, it was only in late-September of this year that the Bank of Japan began to truly panic over its currency's weakness, right around the same time as the U.K. faced its own issues with the pension funds. As the...

We'll See if Bulls Have a Marvelous Boxing Chin

It is often said that Marvelous Marvin Hagler has the best "chin" in boxing history, meaning it was uniquely different to connect on punches to the point where it knocked him down. In the current market we have China tech stocks being bludgeoned today. BABA PDD WB and many there formerly hot-to-trot growth stocks are getting absolutely...
