Chart: $XMI: Price Track Reflections In The Major Market Composite Index in 2012 and 2011

  Chart: Price Level Reflections in the Major Market in 2011 and2012

  Below is a daily action chart of the Major Market Composite Index, the $XMI. It covers the period of July 2010 through July 2012

  The chart includes a rather awesome econometric 'coordinate price level vectors math tent' that has occurred in the price data. You can see this mathematical 'vector tent' by connecting the key and correlating price-value time points discerned for 2011 and 2012.

  For those who aren't sure what this might mean, let's just say the chart is basically illustrating and depicting key price track reflections that exist in the $XMI for 2012 from 2011.

  And for those who might question that 'history repeats itself' in the major markets, this chart and its illustration offer an example of a powerful and perfect 'price echo tent' that may be very educational... and quite interesting.

  Incidentally, for those who are presently wondering whether or not to 'Sell in May and Go Away" in 2012, this chart may be equally as useful, considerable, and educational. I, for one, do not like to 'discount the weights of history' in making my market forecast assessments.

  So, in your consideration of all the good fundamental reasons on why or why not you may want to consider adjusting your market risk exposures going forward into May of this year (there are many discussions on this matter going on this year), you may want to be aware of this awesome, and so far definitive, 'price refection tent' that has already occurred, and continues to mathematically exist, within the 'price data' of the Major Market for this year and last.

  I do.

ISM MARKET SHORT SQUEEZE, MUCH LESS SQUEEZE THAN INITIALLY SUSPECTED

Tuesday's ISM Short Squeeze, Much Less Squeeze Than Some Suspected. 

May 2, 2012 5:19 PM | about stocks: DIA, SPY, IWM, QQQ

ISM MARKET SHORT SQUEEZE

After the recent releases of many of the regional ISM numbers (most of which looked surprisingly weaker than expected, save for the Richmond Report), the national ISM number was released Tuesday at 10AM and was surprisingly good, considering the weaknesses in the bulk of the preceding regional reports.

This surprise in the strength of manufacturing at the national level produced a market short squeeze Tuesday, with many investors who where predominantly short covering their positions, and therefore, temporarily yet dramatically adding significant buying pressure to the markets.

Included in this short-squeeze buying where rises in stocks, the dollar, and commodities. The rotation in this new buying was reported as being generally more indicative of positive reaction to an expectation of a strengthening economy, than to further Fed QE actions.

This could be good news, if these expectations are correct.

Now, to see positively trending employment data emerging and released in reports later this week would be further good news... especially for those eagerly looking for a potential breakout in current composite index price resistance levels at this critical juncture, and even a potential reactive market melt-up.

However, today's market action failed to follow through, and at one point in the day even erased all of yesterday's gains in the Dow 30 Industrials.

ISM MARKET SHORT-SQUEEZE

After the recent releases of many of the regional ISM numbers, which didn't look very strong (save for the Richmond Release), the National ISM number was released this morning at 10AM and was surprisingly good, considering the bulk of the preceding regional reports. This surprise in the strength of manufacturing has produced a broad market 'short-squeeze', with many investors who where predominantly short covering their positions, and therefore temporarily, yet dramatically, adding buy pressure to the markets.

Included in this buying where rises in stocks, the dollar, and commodities. The rotation nature sand positioning within this buying is reportedly to be generally more indicative of a reaction to an expectation of a strengthening economy than a reaction to an expectation of further Fed QE actions.

Such expectations may prove premature and faulty.  And today May be a premium day to add to short positions and/or raise and lock in higher general insured (hedged) price gain levels.

SPX CHART: 

GuideChart Illustrating The "Sell In May And Go Away!" Wall Street Phenomena And The Subsequent Stock Market Composite Price Level Drop In Presidential And Congressional Election Years.  

May 1, 2012 12:08 AM | about  SPY, DIA, QQQ, IWM

Provided below is a graphical display of the professionally favored and broadly watch Large Cap Stock Market Index, the $SPX.

The SPX is the favored index, and "general stock market measure" used by professional analyst and investment managers both domestically and globally. It is held as the predominate and most representative measure of the US Large Cap Securities Market.

Presented below is a GuideChart of the SPX which illustrates the effects of the (1) Presidential Election Cycle and the (2) Congressional Election Cycle on the price level of the SPX.

In this illustration, I am focusing particularly on the effect of the old Wall Street adage "Sell in May and Go Away", and how this adage is (1) illustratively pronounced in Presidential Election Cycle years and Congressional Cycle Years, and (2) how it can lead to the start of, and cascade into a precipitous and major Stock Market selloff's in Regime Change Cycle Election years (which are usually every eight years, but can occur, post facto, in four years as well.)

Also illustrated is how immediately preceding annual echovector cycles can also foreshadow the May selloff (see the May 2011 and May 2010 echovectors highlighted in beige)

READING SPX GUIDECHART:

1. Click on the Chart and then Click again to both enlarge and zoom the chart. Use your optimum display settings also.

2. The SPX GuideChart is a 10-Year Weekly OHLC (Open/High/Low/Close) Price Bar chart

3. The Congressional Election Cycle is displayed in alternate yellow and agua-blue vectors, in order to discern every two years along the chart from the key First Trading Week of May bar and its high price more clearly.

4. The selloff from the first week of May to the traditional 2ND or 3RD Week of August is displayed with a red vector. The white bars located under Congressional Cycle or located on the weekly OHLC (Open/High/Low/Close) price bar line also display these annual sell-off sums.

5. In solid green are the correlate dates of the weekly bars beginning the selloff the first trading week in May for the cycle years.

6. In solid red are the correlate dates of the weekly bars completing the selloff sum at that time. Notice that in many cycle years 'lower lows' are achieved before this date.

7. The horizontal solid pink line illustrates how the SPX has achieved the nearly perfect correlate price level to May four years earlier, on aweekly closing price basis. This is often referred to as a resistance price levelvector (with respect to the expressed specific time quantity (in this case, being four years).

8. The eight-year long dotted-green lines represent key price vectors and ascending price channels identified by EchoVectorVEST MDPP.

9. Notice the magnitude of the selloff from (1) the first week in May of Regime Change Cycle Election year, or, (2) as measured from its preceding year's summer price high.

We hope this chart helps demonstrate the prudence of applying price level insurance to major market funds and ETFS. These funds and ETFs typically comprise a large portion of overall portfolio exposure existing under passive professional management regiments and affiliations.

The historical reward-to-risk ratio of proceeding beyond THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY without 'major stock market exposed' portfolio price level 'insurance' applications, or proceeding to just continue along within 'full uninsured passive portfolio management portfolio exposures', would seem imprudent and potentially counter-productive to overall accrued, and time-already-spent-earned, portfolio value.

In the present era of active and advance financial management and financial position and holdings value optimization techniques, better price protection strategies and portfolio management and portfolio value enhancement opportunities are available.

• A Current USO ETF EchoVector And EchoBackDate Price Analysis: Is Seasonal Price History Unfolding Again?

  A Current USO ETF EchoVector And EchoBackDate Price Analysis: Is Seasonal Price History Unfolding Again?

  April 29, 2012 2:35 PM

  Recently there has been a tremendous amount of interest and much media attention given to the energy markets, and particularly to the markets for crude oil and gasoline.

  The seasonal February-through-April 'price strength period' unfolded and manifested itself once again this year, and with usual its usual price vigor.

  Provided below is a chart with an excellent graphical illustration of this year's 'price seasonalities' in the USO ETF.

  Also shown and marked on the chart are the many regular and repeating annual price 'ebbs and flows' experienced in the USO ETF the last several years.

  A close examination of the chart may significantly aid the portfolio manager, and the trader, in their management of USO ETF positions, analysis, and reasoned forecasts, and perhaps also with other USO-related ETF's and commodity futures and indexes. Especially if their analysis includes or emphasizes seasonal and historical conditions and price patterns... and relevant echovectors.

  Following the USO ETF price chart below I have listed some 'suggestive analytical perspectives', and some key 'notes of interest'.

  Upon review of this chart and its technical indications, prepared caution in the near-term regarding the USO ETF's present price level, and going forward the next several weeks, may well be in order.

  (Click on chart and click again to enlarge and zoom)

  

  On Chart Above: Suggestive Analytics and Key Notes of Interest:

  1. Be aware of month 4 in the Annual and Bi-Annual Cycles

  2. Note first 3 weeks of month 5.

  3. Note the 'price level low' of the first week of May, and how it proves to be 'around top or close to sell-down price level,' occurring at end of July and beginning of August's 'mid-2/-3rd week's summer top.'

  4. Be aware of momentum reversal at the end of September and the beginning of October, after downside price consolidation.

  5. Be aware of the 'about one quarter earlier in time' momentum bottom occurring at the end of June/early July. Note that reversal is good for first month, of three subsequent months, leading to October, and failing around beginning of August. This forms a cone with June/July and September/October bottoms with an August 'pointed top'.

  6. In our view, these are significant seasonal relative strength reversal periods and indicators. EchoVectors and EchoVector EchoBackDates are significant in the analysis, forecast, and current price and price level measurements here.

  7. Note the importance of week 6 low and the week 9 high, and sell-off from week 9 to week 11, in the 'Winter Quarter EchoVector (following the prior fall and summer quarterly weekly High and Low weekly momentum pattern deltas, within a quarterly and bi-quarterly echovector and echobackvector analysis, focusing on key echobackweek highs and lows.

  Within your own working analytic frame, retopologize the 3-Year OHLC daily price action charts for further definition and precision revelation, and then retopologize those further to 'hourly intra-day and further discrete price action for even further 'resolution and revelation'. Then overlay this data with regular announcement schedule information, special inventory and/or production announcement information occurrences, and further with related macro-event impacting announcements... all for increased and even further definition, forecast, and management insight and effectiveness.
