11/19/19 S&P reverses, barely.

2-month (approx.) focus chart.

Current Market Prediction (slow model):

$SPX (S&P 500), Bull-trend signal (10/18/19) with TTP= 3006.72.

Current price for CTM research (signals), $15,000 per quarter for the S&P 500 “fast” nonlinear model. The faster model is more optimized for options trading.

Model notes: Todays S&P 500 small-scale reversal (less than 2 points) may be more sympathetic to the DJIA losing ground on the back of Home Depot losses (-5% plus). The model seems to still be in-sync with the current t uptrend. We are just a couple points off the 2-month closing high.  Chaotic trend / nonlinear trend analysis is giving us the glimpse at the future ahead.

What is the S&P 500 signaling about current events? We have discussed this about a week now and the major index continues to drift upwards. Today’s action continues to show the market is not really concerned. The side topic of an escalated “trade war” with China

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TTP (Theoretical Transaction Day) is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • S&P 500 forecast (SPX): The S&P basically drifted higher over the last couple of days.  Today’s 2 pt downside reversal is pretty tame considering action of the last 2 months.  We keep saying (in various ways) that the bears just don’t seem to be able to pull a meaningful raid off. The impeachment proceedings are not producing enough angst among market participants to be a bearish factor (lack-luster testimony and Republican control of the Senate are contributing to the peace). Technical trend is still up. Nonlinear / Chaotic indicators are still bullish. We are keeping a lookout in case darker clouds arise.

11/14/19 Several minor reversal attempt recently, nothing significant yet.

2-month (approx) focus chart.

Current Market Prediction (slow model):

$SPX (S&P 500), Bull-trend signal (10/18/19) with TTP= 3006.72.

Current price for CTM research (signals), $15,000 per quarter for the S&P 500 “fast” nonlinear model. The faster model is more optimized for options trading.

Model notes: Todays S&P 500 close is the highest of the week so far.  So far, we have kept with the trend while avoiding being tripped out by false signals that trick bulls out of a bullish trend. Model still in-sync. Chaotic trend / nonlinear trend analysis is giving us the glimpse at the future trend.

What? Well, the impeachment is on. With a Republican controlled senate, it seems like a waste of time. I would like to share how I look at this. The Democratic Party is fractured into 2 halves: liberals (Biden) and progressives (Jr. Communist, Bernie Sanders). Progressives consider Warren a liberal, trying to pass herself off as a progressive. The liberals have received some analysis advising them they will lose 2020 no matter who runs from their current 3+1 (Buttigieg) team. For them the impeachment is a disparate “hail Mary” pass, trying to snatch victory from defeat. The progressives are actually trying to take over the Democratic Party. To them this is an attempt to remove Joe Biden through displaying Hunter Biden’s corruption (also a jab at Trump is okay for them). The market is taking a longer-term view of this and is ignoring the hearings largely.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TTP (Theoretical Transaction Day) is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • S&P 500 forecast (SPX): S&P closed at the high of the week, despite limited selling over the past several trading days, since Nov 7th.  The bears don’t seem to have the firepower to drive the market down yet. The clumsy political machinations by the Democratic Party has not provided enough angst (against the backdrop of a Republican-controlled Senate) to bring in sellers. Technical trend is still up. Nonlinear / Chaotic indicators are still bullish. We are watching.

11/8/19 S&P 500 drifts up, bears can’t dig in their heels yet.

2-month (approx) focus chart.

Current Market Forecast (slow model):

$SPX (S&P 500), Bull-trend signal (10/18/19) with TTP= 3006.72.

Current price for CTM research (signals), $15,000 per quarter for the S&P 500 “fast” nonlinear model. The faster model is more optimized for options trading.

Model notes: S&P 500 closes at the high of the week, sellers attempt a couple reversal attempts but couldn’t get it going. Model still in-sync. Chaotic trend / nonlinear trend analysis is giving us the glimpse at the future trend.

What? Have a great Veterans Day!

09/25/19 Status: $9500.xx support level failing

2-month (approx.) focus chart.

Current market Predictions:

  • $NYXBT (Bitcoin), bearish since model (V6.0) went online, awaiting “real-time” signal with a current TSP. I don’t post hypothetical model trades.

Current price for CTM research, $15,000.xx per quarter for two symbols.

Model notes: This is basically the debut of the 6.0 version. This approach is more mathematically elegant and should help CTM research models to stay in-synch with the underlying markets that are being modelled. This is a big deal in non-linear modelling.   I am going to shoot more to post once a week instead of just trend changes.

What? The Pelosi impeachment investigation is billed as a “get Trump” political action. Lack of evidence to such a high crime is not present. This is more likely a “backdoor” Democratic Part infighting move to take Joe Biden out of the presidential hopeful list, possibly to create room for a more progressive candidate to get traction. I don’t see this as a particularly well thought out move (Dems are synonymous with the unpopular ailment known as “Impeachment fatigue”). Still as a short-term move to rearrange the Democratic hopeful list, sometimes the gunfight goes simply to the quick.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TSP is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:Bitcoin forecast ($NYXBT): Now we are looking for the cryptocurrency to move lower. Near-term support at $9500 has been pierced.

04/29/19 Status: Sell trend signal. Projection hit.

3-month focus chart.

Current market Predictions:

  • $NYXBT (Bitcoin), 4/29/18, bear trend signal. TSP (4/30) = waiting.  Downside 3-month bitcoin price forecast = Calculating.
  • $VIX signal, waiting. This is a new signal current trend is down. We are waiting for the first signal to start posting a chart.

Current price for a 4 symbol package = $7,500 quarterly.

Model notes: Bitcoin trend change signal comes after hitting our upside projection. The sell TSP should be higher than the entry (assuming tomorrows close is near today’s). So the model is still in synch with the market. The downside projection will be posted later. We plan to add a Vix signal as well. Volatility is another strange non-traditional market that should be benefitted by looking through the lens nonlinear analysis.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TSP is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • Bitcoin forecast ($NYXBT): Now we are looking for the cryptocurrency to move lower. The market has hit the upside projection and nonlinear analysis forecasts more weakness ahead.
  • $VIX forecast: Awaiting a fresh signal (this is a new venture). The market has been beaten down in the wake of S&P 500 strength. Currently the index habitats in the 12-13 range.

04/12/19 Status: The Rocket kicked off (finally) in our direction!

3-month focus chart.

Current Cryptocurrency Prediction:

  • $NYXBT (Bitcoin), 11/20/18, bull trend signal. TSP (11/21) = 4409.72. Upside 3-month bitcoin price forecast is 5250.

Current price for a 4 symbol package = $7,500 quarterly.

Model notes: This post was made Friday (April 12) midday, looking back at the chart updated through April 11. The great news is that the chaos nonlinear forces have finally kicked in and Bitcoin moved decisively higher. The “catch the falling knife” bull trend signal (11/20) is now “in the money.” We briefly kissed our nonlinear forecast projection (5250). Basically I am waiting for the projection to ratchet up of have a reversal signal. The model is still in-synch with the trading.

Signs and Times: Since the Mueller investigation concluded, I think the Clintons have disappeared. I don’t see them in the media. It is as if a UFO came and collected them late one night. Or they could be hunkered down in a bunker surrounded by lawyers, carefully listening across the waters for Trump to yell “Starboard side, prepare to fire!”

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TSP is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • Bitcoin forecast ($NYXBT): Wow! Bitcoin rocketed up 25% in a month. We are now at our projection area warning this could be a toppy market. On the other hand, the trend is still pointed upward. So, I am waiting for either a trend signal change or an upward market projection to higher levels. The classic technician’s dilemma. For now the nonlinear process is still up.

Trend up, but it isn’t a rocket!

Current Cryptocurrency Prediction:

  • $NYXBT (Bitcoin), 11/20/18, bull trend signal. TSP (11/21)= 4409.72. Upside 3-month bitcoin forecast is $5250.00

3-month chart. Current price for a 4 symbol package = $7,500 quarterly.

Model notes: This post was made Saturday (March 23rd) looking back at the chart updated through March 22. The model is still under water from the “catch the falling knife” buy (11/20 signal) but the recent bounce off the early Feb lows looks convincing. The 5250 projection is northward (this is roughly in line with our previous projection). Incidentally we have recently added a Bitcoin price forecast to our comments, our research effort continues. The model is still in-synch with the trading.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TSP is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • Bitcoin forecast ($NYXBT): The Bitcoin market trend has reversed to the upside following lows in mid-December and early February. We do have resistance ahead at the 4200 mark but the nonlinear projection of 5250 indicates this should be broken going forward.

Never sell a dull market!

Current Cryptocurrency Prediction:

  • $NYXBT (Bitcoin), 11/20/18, bull trend signal. TSP (11/21)= 4409.72.

3-month chart. Current price for 4 symbol package = $7,500 quarterly.

Model notes: This post was made mid-day on March 8 showing EOD chart from March 7th. Model is still in the bull trend mode. The “catch the falling knife” buy (11/20 signal) was a little early, and is still under water but the situation is becoming more positive. Recent nonlinear projections are looking north of the recent 3-mo closing high (approx. 4200). 5000 is not out of the question. The model is still in-synch with the trading.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TSP is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • Bitcoin forecast ($NYXBT): The fading volatility seen in Jan and early Feb has resolved itself to the upside with near-term trading breaking out above the 3-month down trend line. As stated earlier the nonlinear models are now projecting toward the 5000 range.  So we are not looking for the 4200 resistance point to hold.

New Year trading outlook!

Current Cryptocurrency Prediction:

  • $NYXBT (Bitcoin), 11/20/18, bull trend signal. TSP (11/21)= 4409.72.

3-month chart. Current price for 4 symbol package = $7,500 quarterly.

Model notes: The was in good position for the November Bitcoin collapse, though the “catch the falling knife” buy (11/20 signal) was a little early, the downside momentum has dried up. The model is still in-synch with the trading.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TSP is defined as the closing price on the day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • Bitcoin forecast ($NYXBT): The model “falling knife” bull trend signal was a little early but not irrelevant as following trading revealed the downside momentum was drying up. There are some associated positive fundamental factors at work here too. The recent stock market drubbing (flight to quality), interest rate drop (asset valuation enhancement) and financial stress for Bitcoin miners (at the sub 4000 level) are all in play right now. And the outlook for the trade currently? 6000!

It is hard to catch a falling knife!

Current Cryptocurrency Prediction:

  • $NYXBT (Bitcoin), 11/20/18, bull trend signal. TSP (11/21)= 4409.72.

3-month chart. Current price for 4 symbol package = $7,500 quarterly.

Model notes: The model caught most of the power slide, entering long just a couple days too soon. Still a look over the past three months reveals a very positive, prescient model.

Note: The following comments are based on using technical analysis to ‘flesh out’ our nonlinear trading signals. TSP is defined as the closing price on the trading day following the signal day.

Nonlinear Trading Themes:

  • Bitcoin Forecast (Bullish) ($NYXBT): The model took a swing at catching the “falling knife.” We got in a lot closer to the bottom than the previous top. Further good news is that the math indicates the 3700 level will provide stable support. Finally, recent downside volatility seems to be drying up.
