Books & Trades #220 October 16, 2014 Market Update Toronto 2 spots left / New York still open New High New Low 2 nd edition Specials Dear Friend, Books & Trades sent out on September 25 was titled The Twin Towers market. The sell signal that was shown in that letter, was elaborated in a follow-up letter on September 29. That update pointed out to severe overhangs in several popular stocks: AMZN (was at $323 when the letter went out, hit $293 this week), LNKD (was at $213, hit $188), and TSLA (was $247, hit $217). I believe that the New High New Low Index is the best leading indicator of the stock market, but the raw index alone is not enough. The precise multi-level way we analyze it each day in SpikeTrade.com puts us and our members a big step ahead of the crowd. Today I am happy to announce that the 2 nd updated edition of the e-book New High New Low Index has been released and is available (see more information on it below). Now let s see what NH-NL is telling us today. Click here to enlarge this chart (only when you re online) On the weekly chart, S&P stabbed below its channel and moved back inside positive. The channel is hard to see on this chart, so I highlighted it with a short dashed line. Notice a similar occurrence in October 2012, which led to a rally.
On the daily chart, on Thursday it flashed a Spike Bounce signal, as the 20-day NH-NL crossed above its minus 500 level. This is a short-term buy signal. The severe decline of the stock market was led by a rapidly sinking Russell index (small caps). On Wednesday we saw a change of character, as Russell outperformed the S&P. It got even stronger on Thursday. You can see the last few bars of the Russell, shown as dark insets, both on the weekly (left side) and daily (right side) charts. I saw this strengthening yesterday, while working at the Virgin Atlantic lounge, and that prompted me to continue covering my shorts while waiting for a flight to New York. The current chart patterns suggest that the decline has hit support. They do not tell us whether we re going to have a V-bottom or a double bottom. I ve been receiving emails from several advisors who were bullish a month ago and now those geniuses call for a 20% decline from the current levels. It looks like they may be wrong again. I am not sure how strong this rally will be perhaps not very strong but what I do anticipate is a great increase in volatility, compared to what we had in summer. Not a bad time to be day-trading, as long as you know how to do it (not a beginners game!).
