Long-Term trends for each index remains up and nothing of late has changed that!!! Each index is testing some form of overhead resistance. These are price points where bulls will say “No Thank You” to selling pressure taking place. NOT a place where a bull would want to see weakness start taking place.

August 17, 2017

RIGHT CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE CHART ABOVE- Above is our update of the Fibonacci breakouts above 161% “Extension levels,” based upon 2007 highs/2009 lows. So far, pretty much clean upside action after using old 161% resistance level as new support. As mentioned on the prior page, bulls don’t want to see bearish reversals taking place just under long-term resistance line at (2), which could be starting this week.

1-Year Fibonacci 161% Extension Level in play!!!

For the past two years, the Power of the Pattern has been sharing how important the 161% extension level off the 2007 highs/2009 lows looked to be for the Dow and S&P (prior chart). Below looks closely at the 161% Extension level, based upon 2016 “weekly closing highs/lows.”

As mentioned above, two potential “Doji Star” topping patterns took place the prior two weeks, followed by a large reversal pattern this week at (3). Again, not a price point where bulls want to see bearish reversal taking place.

1999 & 2008 Repeat By Transports?

Transports in 1999 broke above 1998 highs and appeared to be heading much higher until….. a reversal took place, support broke and the index fell hard (50%+). Transports in 2007 broke above 2006 highs and appeared to be heading much higher until…. a reversal took place, support broke and the index fell hard (50%+). We’ve shared this chart several times in the past and below is our current update. The index could be creating a pattern currently, that is very similar to the highs in 1999 and 2008.

I’ve said this before and I will say this again….this pattern doesn’t matter until it matters. The odds are low that it will repeat and be meaningful.

If the read would happen to be correct, we all know it could become very important. Bulls would not want to see support give way at (3) with momentum!!!

Equal Weight (RSP) and S&P 500 comparison since 2009 lows.

RIGHT CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE CHART ABOVE Risk On trade wants both of these moving higher together. RSP continues to out perform SPY since 2009 levels. RSP has gained 90%+ more than SPY since the 2009 lows. Positive price action taking place for many months. If rising support in each at (1) would be taken out to the downside, would send concerning message to bulls.

Global Dashboard Chart Patterns-

S&P and Russell both kissed underside of overhead resistance of late and have declined a couple of percent. Russell is nearing its rising 200MA line. Bulls would not want to see this ratio break below it. BIG TEST for EFA and EEM, as both are nearing levels where buyers dried up and they peaked numerous times over the past few years. So far this week “BOTH” have created weekly bearish pattern just below heavy overhead resistance lines!

GLOBAL DASHBOARD DESCRIPTION

Global Dashboard consists of 9 charts ("9 pack") covering four major investment categories including U.S., International, Commodities and Currencies. The purpose is to provide members with a weekly snapshot of a current pattern read of key global markets. This is an excellent tool for people with limited time or desire to make account adjustments or to accommodate trading restrictions in the case of many corporate retirement plans. we want this to be your “28-second advantage” to quickly see and understand the chart patterns then make adjustments when Power of the Pattern opportunities materialize.

*Ideal Criteria: An investment that is out of favor / unpopular / fallen a great deal is not enough to take action. Our ideal circumstance to go long is an out of favor investment plus any or all of the following: a support line, a falling wedge, at the bottom of a channel or a key Fibonacci support level. The opposite is true for investments that are in favor. Our ideal circumstance to short (score on defense) requires any or all of the following: up against resistance, a rising wedge, at the top of a rising channel or a key Fibonacci resistance level....just because public opinion is popular on a asset/investment, is not enough evidence for taking action.

Delivery time for updates:. Our emphasis is on timeliness of quality opportunities over timeliness of updates. We may need Monday to gather current information, chart patterns for opportunities, if any, then we will put together the report. We will be planning on updates to arrive on Tuesdays by 1 p.m. Eastern.
