Gap Up Cocktail, With A Short Squeeze Please
ที่อัปเดต:
In a seemingly massive win for the Biden Campaign, Emily Murphy at the GSA (General Services Administration), confirmed that the Trump Administration is ready to move forward with the peaceful transition of power process, in the accordance with the law. I don't know whether or not this is a move to escape the legal nightmare Trump is living each day, or whether he has a final card up his sleeve to somehow hold on to the presidency. More likely than not, Trump is moving on with his life, at least for now. What I found most interesting about the news, though, was the fact that futures spiked almost immediately after. Since when is a Biden victory good for stocks?
- If memory serves, Biden was going to raise corporate taxes on millions of small businesses at the worst possible time.
- Trump said if Biden won, we'd see the worst depression in history because he would lock down the nation, and cause another market crash.
- Biden was going to kill big oil.
- Biden was going to face stark opposition on any stimulus proposal he brought forward.
- Some experts have said they're expecting stimulus in the realm of $700 Billion; that's not quite $2.2 Trillion.
Yet, (global) markets spike on the news that Trump is essentially conceding to Biden. I guess when you can print GDP, who needs an economy?
*Takes deep breath*
Let's see what's happening over on the SPY:
We gapped up on the open to around 360.21, off the back of the GSA news, and we're sitting just above the Megaphone trendline which is now sitting around 357.50. We're also kissing the upper trendline of the triangle/weak (volume) bullish pennant around 361.60. Finally, we're approaching the bottom of the ascending channel formed over the past 7 months or so, now sitting around 362.50. We're outside the megaphone right now, and if we break above for the first time in 9 years, on the monthly, we could see a biblical short squeeze. Just a reminder folks, the end of the month is next Monday. As I said, until we see a clean break of the megaphone on the monthly, I ain't going anywhere...

Vix took it on the chin in early morning trading, but has since regained most of the day's losses. We revisited one of the lowest levels since March this morning, around 21.80, and we're now sitting at a 22 handle once again...บันทึกช่วยจำ

Starting to see some weakness here as we approach power hour. We just tested the 50 period MA on the 5 minute. Tomorrow is an extreme data dump so let's see how investors are positioning into the close for an indication of broader sentiment. Key prints to look out for tomorrow:
- Q3 GDP
- Durable goods
- Jobless claims
- Home sales
- Personal spending
- PCE
- Consumer sentiment
- FOMC minutes

Solid rejection at the 50 period MA on the hourly (362.73). We're back at the ascending trendline again, and it looks like we're about to see a rejection...บันทึกช่วยจำ

Just looking at the current cash market price action on the indexes, it looks an awful lot like the good ole' QE 1, 2, and 3 days, when the market was basically on autopilot, and drunk on liquidity. Almost no volatility whatsoever on the shorter time-frames.บันทึกช่วยจำ
Okay, so it was a fantastic day for the bulls, and quite cyclically historic, actually. Today was among a handful of days since 2011, that we closed above the "megaphone" trendline on the daily. Today was also the highest ever daily close for the SPY. Well done to the bulls.The next challenge for the bulls is to close us above the megaphone on the weekly, and then on Monday, to close us above on the monthly. That would, according to polarity principle, which imo applies with far greater weight to long-term time-frames, would completely end the bearish thesis.
As we discussed earlier, tomorrow is data heavy, and could result in increased volatility. Hopefully that presents us with some new and interesting trading opportunities.
I hope you guys had a great day, the weather in Canada is terrible right now, and people don't want to go out because of Covid. I've heard from friends all over that are struggling with lockdowns, that life is hard right now. I think we're all in the same boat, but remember, when things are terrible, they can only get better.
To the bulls: No one ever went broke taking profits.
To the bears: The first goal of a trader should be to make the best trade. As Alex Elder said, money is secondary.
Cheers guys, have a great night. Michael
