Latest Blog: Market Update - Statistical perspective
Rough start to the new year, I'm in and at the moment plan to ride it down which will suck.
For the S&P 500, over the last 240 months, 43 closed down on the first 2 days, with 3 happening in January with one of those 3 happening in 2014. Of those 3 occasions, the next day's results were flat with
Jan 2014, -.25%
Jan 2005, -.36%
Jan 2000, .19%
For PnF, lots of warning signals, but no price reversals
- AGG - signals a Long Tail Up "This pattern is recognized when the prices rises 20 boxes or more. After such a steep rise, the first reversal provides a good trading opportunity, but the steep rise should give the buyer pause."
- SPX/W4500/NDX signals a High Pole Warning "The high pole warning is given when a chart rises above a previous high by at least 3 boxes but then reverses to give back at least 50 percent of the rise. The reversal implies that the demand that was making the prices rise has given way to supply pressure. The pattern is a warning that lower prices could be seen in the future."
The key thing to watch for will be to see if this current column of Os are lower than the previous O-Column.
