SOME OF THE MIRROR CHART FOLLOW UP

R V There Yet ?

Yes , Market is slowly building the right shoulder. As long as market didn't break UP 929, it is intact with anticipation.

H&S Still Valid

If market is going UP 929 will good resistance. If 929 is not breaking UP that will be good entry for shorts at least until 888.. If that breaks H&S will be valid stay on your shorts !! else Ka-Ching..

No Fear in the Market .. Better you FEAR

VIX touched 26.39, a major support for VIX for long time; as well as broke the lower bollinger band. Could VIX go down again.. ? historically if VIX touch like this, then there are more chances to bounce back. Good examples - 5/20, 6/11

Stimulus Package

It is the month of August, on the shores of the black Sea. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one. The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher. The Butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower. The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel. The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her 'services' on credit. The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there. The hotel proprietor...

Interesting Day

Today open up and touched the Upper band of Darvas Box reverse back. When you look at the William % R , it retraced 50 %. Good sign for BEARS

Neutral day

Today kind of breathing day . After yesterday's Push down, Bears need to breath. There are no Bulls left out to Push this market up. Probably Bulls were waiting to touch 878 region to get back in. Anyway William % R touched the lower band, that is significant bear signal.

Forming a H&S Pattern in Spider ?

After today's move when you look at it spider is forming a Head & Shoulder pattern.

Will it be "W" shaped recovery

Hopefully we will retest last low and recover from there, will make W shaped recovery. If that is true we can see 1000 on S&P, before end of this year. June- Oct will be low volume to down kind of movement is expecting.

Back to Basics .. 3 Arrows

When we over analyze things, we shouldn't forget our basics ..

Clear break to down !

Today's close become clear that we are going to bearish mode. Acceleration mid band broke to down and Williams % R towards down . (cross the mid point)

VIX Callers .. Salute to you

I posted on May 29 th there are huge call volume in VIX for June. BIG BOYS are interested 37 VIX before June 19 TH.

Market turning ?

Market is turning. In my indicator screen even though closing bar didn't broke down, when we look at the Williams % R it is going down. In VIX chart, vix going UP towards upper bollinger band. now you can see bollinger band will expand very fast in coming days because of the expiration.

Mirror Chart

The theory behind the mirror chart is "History can repeat itself". so pick some time frame and repeat and chart that same time frame. there is no guarantee that it will repeat. I used to watch what happened when we made a new low and I am thinking market always retest that low or near that low in future. If so I need to know approximate timing of that. How I will do that. go to the last time when we were in this point and do a same pattern. Nothing is guarantee.. when we read this all with overbought/oversold indicators and support and resistance, it will make sense. "DECISIONS MADE UP FRONT HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON PRODUCTIVITY" "TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THE BEST ONES"

Mirror Chart

I want to post this mirror chart, which I created second week of March..

Is this the turning point ?

I was watching two indicators for market turn. Spider must break and stay 920 level and VIX must up above the 29-30 level. Today both satisfied. tomorrow as well we see some sell off like this, we can confirm that market range broke and trade in lower range. Otherwise market will turn up and hit on 958 level. "It is Swing Traders market".

Reversal Process Started ?

Apart from normal bullish day, today market sold towards close. Is that new bearish sentiment ? I think market is in a tight range bound right now. 956-929 is the range. That is what we saw today. As soon as market touched 956.26 market sold off. When we look at the VIX chart today VIX broke the lower Bolli. band. What we should look at , VIX must be up more than 31 (mid of Boll. Band) and market must break lower than 929, then only our direct puts will work; else spread is the best strategy.

Market don't want to sell off

Bulls trying to hold off the market, even market open 13 points up and sold off about 12 points and closed to 3 points down. wide swing today..

Diverging indicators

All indicators are diverging with market. Market seems to be slowing down.

Nobel Laureate Krugman Says Recession May End ‘This Summer’

The U.S. economy probably will emerge from the recession by September, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman said. "Krugman said that he would not be surprised if the U.S. recession, which began in December 2007, ended in August or September this year. But job losses were likely to continue into 2011, meaning "the period of a depressed economy" could last until 2013 or 2014, he said. " Is this possible ???? check out the chart..

A Doji Day

Market try to Pull down and in last hour mass buy order came and market rip UP and closed to 939.13. If we want to see a down movement, market have to close 929 level. "Trade what you see"

Range bound market ?

As we konw, this is a range bound market. We almost completed 3 Full moon cycle in this rally . Next full moon day is Monday the 8TH. As you noticed in the chart the green plot is mirror chart of the S&P when we came down. from March 9 th onwards market is following this chart about 80-85%. You can see a big down turn in the market from June 9 th -19 th. Not only that all of the market sentiments are as right now is averbought condition. when a sell off comes, most of the people will take profit. If you have profit in your portfolio, Please Please Hedge with some Put or sell some call against that towards resistance. It is not worth to take risk in this stage. Have a good week end. Enjoy

GS 75 to 150 With in 3 months !!

GS Rallied from 75 to 150 from March 6 th. In this time Institutions have to re allocate thier portfolio. Most probably you can see a sell off

Bulls are in Control

It seems like Bulls are still in control. tomorrow expecting a down day. my extectation is, for healthy market need to correct. else market will go sideways for this month

Dark pools

Dark pools of liquidity (also dark pools or dark liquidity) are crossing networks that provide liquidity that is not displayed on order books. This is useful for traders who wish to move large numbers of shares without revealing themselves to the open market. Dark liquidity pools offer institutional investors many of the efficiencies associated with trading on the exchanges' public limit order books but without showing their hands to others. Dark liquidity pools avoid this risk because neither the price nor the identity of the trading company is displayed.

Helios Plans India ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Stock Fund

जय हो में निक्षेप करो Helios Capital Management Pte, the hedge-fund manager once backed by Tudor Investment Corp., plans to start a “Slumdog Millionaire” fund that will buy underperforming shares of Indian companies. “We want to find slumdogs from the Indian equity markets who have the potential of becoming millionaires,” Samir Arora , founder of Singapore-based Helios Capital, said in an interview. The firm plans to raise about $50 million by the end of July for its long-only Helios India Jai Ho Fund, Arora said. “Jai Ho,” which means “victory” in Hindi, is the Oscar- winning theme song from “Slumdog Millionaire,” a feel-good tale of a Mumbai orphan’s escape from poverty that scooped eight Academy Awards, including best picture, this year in Los Angeles. The new fund comes after India’s benchmark Sensitive Index has already jumped 54 percent this year, making it the world’s sixth-best performer and partially reversing last year’s rout. The index surged a record 17 percent on May 18...

GM Bankrupt Rally- Bullish or Bearish ?

Tomorrow is critical day. If we start below 93 and close below 93 in SPY, a major reversal pattern will form. So Bulls will Abandon today's rally. Other wise, if we start above 93 and stay above, my all Puts will change to Bull put spread :) Note : VIX UP 1.12 even market up 23 points in Spider. When you look at the momentum Blue,Red and Green are conjoint in 75 level.
