Tide Has Turned Negative For Stocks

Currently, a sharp fall is anticipated for the equity markets. This decline will be accompanied by ‘new volatility’. There is a great deal of ‘uncertainty ‘within the U.S. markets. Currently, we are viewing a ‘textbook’ ‘head and shoulders pattern’ in the S&P 500 that is going to be a big inflection point we look back on months from now.
There are less and less stocks that are participating in the recent move upwards which suggests a technical breakdown is likely to happen.
The ‘cycles’ of the SPX have recently confirmed that we have now witnessed the ‘highs’. The ‘top’ is currently in place and I expect that the ‘negative trend’ will continue to persist.
The ‘smart money’ has been exiting the equity markets during the last few weeks with strong waves of selling volume taking place on a consistent basis.
Monday, May 16th, 2016, I alerted subscribers to two new positions to enter into so as to take advantage of during this next significant market move and change in volatility. Consequently, consumers have already started to slow down in their spending. They will change their past behavior, and, as a result, will begin to save (whatever funds that they may still have) as stocks start to fall in value along with the average investors retirement accounts. The present day spending behavior will come to a grinding halt in due time!
Before “The Great Credit Crisis of 2007 -2008”, the ‘smart money’ exited the equity markets in November of 2006. And it appears that the NASDAQ 100 and the US Russell 2000 are leading the ‘charge’ downward once again for the pending market correction.
We are, once again, repeating this same technical pattern, now!
In short, the first chart I showed in this article paints a very clear picture of where stock prices are headed – Lower.
