Once again, the above video link provides an overview
referencing current stock market conditions relative to similar

Markets are fluid and subject to change as we all know - key is
to establish a methodology that fits with your beliefs. You
can also incorporate a hybrid approach with your portfolio by
position investing certain funds for longer term (accepting
volatility until EVIDENCE changes) and dedicating other funds to
short term trading. Those are decisions for each individual.
If you have yet to formalize an investing/trading approach
please take some time to formalize a template - you can always
adjust but it's best to have something in place. From there,
you should formulate a PLAN that entails your objectives.
Once a plan is in place, then you can refine down to which
specific securities you want to invest and/or trade. This is
a TOP DOWN approach that should be enacted PRIOR to looking for
trades. Just like a Football team(or any sports team) - the
General manager has a vision/approach on how he/she wants to build
a team. Then he/she hires a coach to devise a scheme around those
players to maximize their talents. Next, the coach puts
into place a weekly game plan (making necessary adjustments) before
finally selecting specific plays.

Friday game plan - looking for consolidation after big move up
Thursday. Expect Crypto to move up as market moves down but
Crypto is range bound other than Etherium which needs to get back
into pattern. Also the VIX must behave for the Bull case
which seems a little bit too obvious - see CNBC talking heads
patting themselves on the back for ST bottom call. If Cryto
and Vix behave and we don't see Tom Lee tomorrow then the bull case
should hold and we should see a flat to down close with Crypto
starting to look better, oil and energy leading down and the VIX
sitting at bay. Crypto should then have a big rally this wknd
out of the patterns followed by a jump on TQQQ, KWEB and the growth
high fliers for a quick trip to 4230. If Ukraine ends or
China ends lockdowns (I'm expecting this one as soon as this wknd)
that supports the ST bull case but after Powell does his measly 50
basis points in June... the 4th of July bear fireworks will be
spectacular !
If however Crypto and the VIX do not behave, i.e. BTC breaks
down out of consoidation, VIX spikes up and stays up and we see Tom
Lee... Then the post memorial day fireworks will be spicy !
Happy to share that I went long EOD Wed, exited EOD Thursday and
well, you know what I'm thinking about for Friday... bear traps are
sneaky but I hope I'm safe with Shorts end of July and Longs 2
weeks out - echoing Steve's mid term views. Bottom line -
stay on your toes and take profits early !!!
Posted by fredsaid on 27th of May 2022 at 12:00 am
Likely one of the best bounce areas over the next little
while... I think money will rotate out of oil and energy into
everything else just for the bounce.
my understanding is that a p- shaped volume profile is actually
a bullish pattern( and a b shape is bearish). Im actually
quite new to volume profiles and we dont tend to use them too much
here at BPT, but here's a link with an explanation:
https://ninjatrader.com/blog/understanding-the-4-common-volume-profile-shapes/Like
I said, I'm new to this type of analysis so I dont have any
experience with it.
definitely and today the NYMO closed at 77 which is quite high.
However, what I discussed last night is that when the NYMO or NAMO
closes outside its upper Bollinger Bands after price is coming out
of a very oversold condition it can be bullish where you get an
uptrend that lasts for 1 or 2 weeks, not without pullback days of
course, but overall tends to support a trade low that holds for a
bit and doesn't just roll back over. Here's a couple charts -
the one from last night, and some past examples, I like the clean
histogram version
-20% is generally enough for a non-recessionary bear/correction.
In a recession forward earnings can be revised down 30%-40% easily
so that will make the decline a lot larger.
“How are the fundamentals so bad but we are only down 15%?” This
bear market is full of FOMO from the bull run since 2010. The fear
of missing the low is outweighing the fear of a prolonged decline.
For this reason, it will still take a limit down day in
$SPXto form a bottom.
From a pure technical viewpoint - the move into 3810 was just 3
waves (zig zag) and that doesn't support a bottom so maybe a 4th
wave flat or triangle (since we had a symmetry break).
