Global View: All Markets  

The extended implications of Thursday’s June S&P 500 future Close below the 1,833-1,828 range confirming the “Equities have topped” perspective from after the previous Friday’s poor US Employment report response was very clear. Further ‘good’ US economic data was not enough to offset the cumulative weak data from elsewhere. Of course, that also included some weaker US data the equities had conveniently ignored on the way up (especially the weaker than expected PMI’s that were reflected in Germany as well, and still weak global trade data… especially China.)

After the week ago Friday failure, we felt the US was leading all the equities into a broader correction, even if classical form still left room to retest the various higher resistances; such as June S&P 500 future 1,865-68 most recent short-term DOWN Break and previous hefty congestion it reached in the wake of the still very accommodative FOMC minutes Wednesday afternoon. Of course, that didn’t stop the psychology from getting so stale again Thursday morning that it dropped below 1,833-1,828 for the US Close. Which made Friday’s further erosion below the previous month-and-a-half trading lows a foregone conclusion if there was no immediate recovery back above 1,833-1,828  instead of the meager test of the low end of the range after Friday’s gap lower opening.

There is now consideration that extensive further slippage below 1,833-28 has left that significant month-and-a-half ‘superstructure’ of resistance above the market. In those cases it is not likely any market holds the near term support, and the June S&P 500 future is not likely an exception. While the Fibonacci and minor congestion support at 1,810, it seems more likely this market can see the more major levels into 1,800 or even lower major trend supports. That it has come up so far without a sustained correction since late 2012 leaves it vulnerable to some extensive slippage below 1,800; even if that would only be down to more major bull trend support (more below.)        

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the factors noted above along with the as expected Euro-zone Industrial Production numbers as we awaited the US Retail Sales figures. In the event, those turned out to be stronger –than- expected, which is assisting a short term equities bounce this morning. Yet with a light reporting day today, it will be more important how markets respond to much more extensive critical releases (including European and Chinese data) from tomorrow onward.

It moves on from that overview to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 01:35 and intermediate-term at 04:30, then the other equities from 07:15, with govvies analysis beginning at 17:25 and short money forwards at 17:00. Foreign exchange begins with the US Dollar Index at 21:00, jumping over to Europe at 22:50 and Asia at 26:00, followed by the cross rates at 30:00, and a return to June S&P 500 future at 34:00 for a final view and additional perspective. As this is an especially extensive analysis due to its assessment of significant near term contingencies in the S&P 500 and govvies, even more so than usual we suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Concise Highlights   

This is a brief follow up to Thursday morning’s extensive Global View, where we extended the implications of last Friday’s analysis of why the June S&P 500 future has likely topped in the intermediate term. Of course, that is also important for all other asset classes. And after retesting and holding the still critical 1,833-28 area of the recent trading lows (that were part of completing the failed Double Top and Rectangle patterns) Tuesday morning, it was ready for the recovery rally we expected. Yet all the while, we still felt the US was leading all the equities into a broader correction, even if classical form still left room to retest the various higher resistances as part of the general topping activity in the June S&P 500 future. 

Those included the 1,865-68 most recent short-term DOWN Break and previous hefty congestion it reached in the wake of the still very accommodative FOMC minutes Wednesday afternoon. And even though more prominent resistance awaited at the failed 1,877 Rectangle pattern UP Break (also the old Double Top), in cases where the psychology is getting really stale (maybe on all that weak foreign data Thursday morning) markets can fail at the lowest of their prominent resistances… and that appears to be exactly what happened on Thursday in the US.

Of course, there is now consideration that extensive further slippage below 1,833-28 will leave it as a significant month-and-a-half ‘superstructure’ of resistance above the market. In those cases it is not likely any market holds the near term support, and the June S&P 500 future is not likely an exception. While there is some Fibonacci and minor congestion support at 1,810, it seems more likely this market can see the more major levels into 1,800 or even lower major trend supports. That it has come up so far without a sustained correction since late 2012 leaves it vulnerable to some extensive slippage below 1,800; even if that would only be down to more major bull trend support (more below.)

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the factors noted above along with the overnight economic data being very limited and as expected on Chinese and German inflation numbers and the Japanese Corporate Service Price Index. And while we will also see US PPI and Preliminary Michigan Sentiment, those are just not the sort of trend-decisive numbers which are likely to reverse the major psychological weakness that is now afflicting equities that have topped in the near term.

It moves on from there to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:15 and intermediate-term at 04:55 including all the important pattern and trend implications of the weakness spilling over from yesterday into this morning. Then it’s onto the other equities (mostly responding to the US leadership) at 09:25, followed by discussion of the govvies benefitting modestly from the equities weakness at 15:10 and likewise for the short money forwards at 16:30, and discussion of foreign exchange conforming to yesterday morning’s assessments at 16:40, with a return to the June S&P 500 future at 17:10 for a final view and additional perspective.

Global View: All Markets  

This the full follow up to Tuesday morning’s extensive Global View after yesterday’s Concise Highlights. We have once again extended the implications of last Friday’s analysis of why the June S&P 500 future has likely topped in the intermediate term. Of course, that is also important for all other asset classes. And after retesting and holding the still critical 1,833-28 area of the recent trading lows (as part of completing the failed Double Top and Rectangle patterns) Tuesday morning, it was ready for the further recovery rally we expected. While we still feel the US is leading all the equities into a broader correction potential, on classical form that still left room to retest the various higher resistances as part of the general topping activity in the June S&P 500 future.  

Those include the 1,865-68 most recent short-term DOWN Break and previous hefty congestion it reached in the wake of the still very accommodative FOMC minutes yesterday afternoon. And more prominent resistance awaits at the failed 1,877 Rectangle pattern UP Break (also the old Double Top), or even last Friday’s 1,883-87 major ‘outside day’ DOWN Closing Price Reversal signal and Tolerance area. It is admittedly quite a wide berth, and that makes it especially important to watch the short-term price activity for any signs of near term topping activity which might indicate which of them it is respecting on the recovery rally before heading down again.

Of course, there is always the possibility our assessment is wrong, and the June S&P 500 future will overrun all of that on a bull surge. Yet in our experience even if that is going to occur at some point, it is not likely to happen on the initial retest of resistance after such a definitive near term failure. If we are right, the 1,833-28 area will not only be retested. It will be overrun at some point for a more major swing to lower supports closer to 1,800 at a minimum, and possibly well below it. Going out a month or two, the major trend support (congestion, Fibonacci and major up channel) is the mid-low 1,700 area.       

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the factors noted above along with the very weak (second month in a row) Chinese Trade figures, and weaker than expected French and Italian Industrial Production. Yet the Bank of England holding steady today and still looking accommodative as well is limiting the equities weakness. And it is a very light, therefore psychological, US data day.

It moves on from that overview to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:10 and intermediate-term at 05:30, then the other equities from 08:00, with govvies analysis beginning at 11:15 and short money forwards at 15:20. Foreign exchange begins with the US Dollar Index at 18:30, jumping over to Europe at 20:00 and Asia at 23:00, followed by the cross rates at 26:50, and a return to June S&P 500 future at 30:00 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

It moves on from there to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:00 and intermediate-term at 04:55 including all the important pattern and trend implications, then discussion of the other equities condition (mostly waiting on the further US leadership) at 08:00, govvies being mixed and short money forwards being flat at 08:20, and foreign exchange conforming also being very flat from last night’s Closes at 08:40, with a return to the June S&P 500 future at 09:10 for a final view and additional perspective..

Global View: All Markets  

We note once again in this follow up to Friday’s definitive view on why the June S&P 500 future has likely topped in the intermediate term and Sunday’s analysis of other asset classes, be sure to watch those videos if you have not done so already. This morning’s analysis is a more concise follow up, yet still lengthy to address the two-sided contingencies markets are facing in the wake of the extensive Friday-Monday slide of US equities. The full implications of US equities activity after Friday morning’s ostensibly constructive Non-Farm Payrolls number is critical perspective affecting the other asset classes as well.

In a nut shell, the June S&P 500 future new high above 1,877 was more than a fresh extension of the sustained rally that could not break the mid-March 1,833 low on the last selloff. In a variation of a top evolving into a ‘continuation’ pattern (more on that below), the push above 1,877 was also a definitive fresh UP Break.

The problem for the equity bulls is now twofold. Not only was that 1,877 UP Break Negated by Friday’s sharp drop, but it also occurred on what was ostensibly ‘good’ headline economic data. That is often more telling than a selloff on nominally ‘bad’ news. And the opposite is true for the fixed income markets. Rallying sharply from lower support, or in the case of the June T-note ratcheting back above failed support, is a strong sign for the govvies in the wake of what should have been depressingly constructive economic news. The same goes for the short money forwards.    

Foreign exchange also saw a response, even if far more subdued. The US dollar Index inability to sustain its recent recovery above the key .8040 area and EUR/USD holding the 1.3700 area are just two manifestations of the US equities selloff reversing more upbeat American and greenback sentiment. That US dollar rebirth was supposed to remain after continued accommodative noises by Mario Draghi at Thursday’s ECB press conference, yet won’t work if the US economy is softening as well.

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the more limited data release schedule this week leaving the current US equities drop to support a more important psychological decision. Monday’s Japanese data was OK, yet with a weaker Bank of Canada Business Outlook. This morning has seen weak Australian Business Confidence as well, yet better UK Industrial Production. And one of the key factors is the OECD Composite Leading Indicators being very pointed on the weakness of the emerging markets outlook while asserting the developed economies are okay. Yet a look at the actual graphs of the developed economies shows a goodly number of them might also be rolling over into less constructive economic outlooks. We shall see.

It moves on from that overview to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:40 and intermediate-term at 05:00, then the other equities from 09:30, with govvies analysis beginning at 13:15 and short money forwards at 19:39. Foreign exchange begins with the US Dollar Index at 23:35, jumping over to Europe at 25:10 and Asia at 28:25, followed by the cross rates at 32:00, and a return to the June S&P 500 future at 36:20 for a final view and additional perspective. As this is an especially extensive analysis due to its assessment of significant near term contingencies in the S&P 500 and govvies, even more so than usual we suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.
