The Nasdaq 100 is headed for a test of the psychological level of 4000* at roughly the same time the S&P 500 is testing 2000. Expect resistance at these levels, but profit-taking is unlikely to be sufficient to halt the primary up-trend. Rising 13-week Twiggs Money Flow indicates medium-term buying pressure.
* Target calculation: 3700 + ( 3700 – 3400 ) = 4000
Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered above 17000, indicating the recent retracement is over. Follow-through above 17100 would offer a target of 17500*. Recovery of 21-day Twiggs Money Flow above the descending trendline indicates selling pressure has ended. Reversal of the index below its (secondary) rising trendline at 16900 is unlikely, but would warn of another correction.
* Target calculation: 16500 + ( 16500 – 15500 ) = 17500
Russell 2000 small caps retreated from resistance at 12.0/12.1. Declining 13-week Twiggs Momentum shows the up-trend is slowing, while reversal below zero would warn of a primary down-trend. Breach of support at 10.8/11.0 would confirm. Recovery above 12.1, however, remains equally likely and would offer a target of 13.0.
* Target calculation: 12 + ( 12 – 11 ) = 13
When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive….. When these things can be said, then may the country boast of its constitution and its government.
~ Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man
Nice sentiment…but really..please..this is just imaginary niceness…democratic governments have completely removed themselves from any constitution..they are like the fire insurance standover man who has become ever so brazen…and how do they get away with it ? Because the rank and file are lazy arsed serfs that still believe the government are their parents..that’s the problem right there…for every person trying to fight the infringements of civil liberties there are 1,000 who could not care less..it will get worse..a lot worse..because of the inability of good folks to look out for bad governance.I know it’s a downer.
