08/18/2011 Market Outlook (Rebound maybe, but SPX lower close ahead)

SHORT-TERM: SIZEABLE REBOUND WITHIN 3 DAYS BUT SPX LOWER CLOSE AHEAD ALMOST GUARANTEED

Two conclusions:

  1. Expect rebound and close in green as early as tomorrow, or a sizeable rebound within 3 trading days.
  2. The selling isn’t over yet, most likely the 08/09 lows will be broken.

The chart below is what I see through my crystal ball, should help to understand the 2 conclusions mentioned above.

The chart below explains why a sizeable rebound is within 3 trading days. As for why expect rebound and close in green as early as tomorrow, please refer to today’s Trading Signals, there’re 88% chances.

Why isn’t the selling over yet?

  • NYADV too low, it almost guarantees SPX will close below today’s close soon. Besides, don’t forget, SPX still owns a lower close (below 08/10 close) . From the past successful rate of the chart below, it’s very rare fort both forecasts to fail, so at least SPX will close below today’s close.

NYADV

  • For NYMO to form a visible positive divergence, SPX lower low is the must which means the 08/09 lows will be broken.

NYMO

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: CONCEPT ONLY, THE WORSE CASE SPX DOWNSIDE TARGET  IS 1,000
