Goldman Sachs Is Talking To Us.For the past five years, stocks like Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) have led the rally in the stock market after being decimated during the Financial Crisis of 2008. After the "Too Big To Fail" banks were bailed out by the taxpayer, they have been able to borrow money from the Federal Reserve at 0%. They would use that money to buy US Treasuries and earn the interest - that's a nice free money policy, especially for the bankers who all basically went bust!
This easy money policy by the Federal Reserve has benefited firms like Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) since 2009, but the charts are warning us that the jig may be up for the "Too Big To Fail" banks. With the stock market at all time highs, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) is 35% below its 2007 peak, and over 10% off its most recent high made in January of 2014.
With a Bearish weekly chart forming on Goldman Sachs and a proprietary time count coming into play, we will be looking to short this equity for a move lower in the coming weeks.

GOS trade ideas
GS bear flag/triangleI like Short idea in Goldman Sachs (GS) here:
1) while the Dow and S&P have been trading nea rhighs I have seen a lot of divergences in the market. Weakness not only in tech but the banks also been an area of major concern. New regulation seems to have affected aspects of their business, and the future isn't looking as bright for the industry.
2) Bear flag. The stock borke down sharply in early April, and basically formed a bear flag/triangle type pattern. This pattern looks like it could resolve to downside for another move lower.
Yeasterday, it was trying to fil the gap area but closed off the lows, reasonable price for SHORT ENTRY here, next resistance zone from $160 to $162. I am looking for move to $152-$154 (TARGET) support area and potential break down if market will show us some weakness. I will ADD if it will go through lows.
GS coiling and ready to jumpJust like a frog getting ready to jump high in the air, I believe that Goldman Sachs is getting ready to join the direction of the overall market. The weekly and daily chart both provide good clues that GS is gathering energy. This daily chart clearly shows that GS is consolidating. It is almost exactly in the middle of its typical range confirming that it is consolidating. To determine which direction it is going next, let's look specifically at the EMA's and candlesticks.
A long trend may not be appearing yet, but since my overall market outlook is long (see my chart for ESZ2013) I believe GS will follow suit. There is potential brewing here to support a long trading assumption. The last three days are beginning to make higher highs showing the potential for its movement long. Even though the 21 EMA hasn't been able to hold up this stock, I believe the 100 EMA will hold and begin to help GS jump up. I will be watching GS this week to see if the 158 level holds as support, if it does then I will be jumping in.
