Each time there is a panic selloff and recovery, the buyers who stepped up to the plate and accumulated shares at a discount show that they are in control of the market. What happens when VIX or VXN spikes when the market falls? Well, sellers of options demand higher prices to compensate for higher risk or higher costs of taking a trade. Also, buyers of options ...

The chart of $TSLA appeared to be falling without end in sight, but if you had short positions on from higher levels, you knew where to cover them - and that is right at the "EARNINGS LEVEL".  I believe it is essential to know where these levels are and I track them on every listed stock here on TradingView that I trade.  The EARNINGS LEVEL is the green triangle ...

Here's a big point... HOPE vs FEAR as shown by Municipal Bond Prices (using the Dreyfus Muni Bond Fund ETF $LEO) Hope is the time when people are selling their "SUPER SAFE MUNI BONDS" to invest in stocks. Fear is when people are buying SuperSafe Muni Bonds It's a general-view, but worth attention. If $LEO turns down, then look for the market to turn up for ...

Here is a quick diagram of the relationship of two of my favorite indicators combined with Gold. I've got to get this out to you now, and follow up later with more details. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and sometimes I have to spell out the words, which may be the case with this one. Many worry that VIX is low, but low VIX is not a worrisome ...

And now it is poised to drop. I would compare the current price advance to climbing to the highest point in a tree... There is nowhere to go but down from here. Or you can wait for the tree to grow. The Time@Mode structure of the Ethereum Bitcoin price reached the price projection on multiple time frames all within a short period of time. Time@Mode is a method ...

$10,000 invested at $0.08 would grow to $1,000,000. This chart is an amazing run that everyone should have a look at. When we look at the chart of $BTCUSD or other monster gains in stocks or in any market, we often see 75% retracements and many 50% retracements, but only 1 50% retracement in this chart of $CSCO. I remember the top very well and not many could ...

Time At Mode Methodology on display here in $RVLT (Revolution Lighting Technology) on a quarterly time frame. The quarterly downtrend started from the high of the chart and progressed downwards in logical fashion until the downtrend expired two quarters ago. The uptrend is emerging now that the price sits above the 6-quarter price zone marked in bright blue at ...

The "building blocks" method I call "Time@Mode" allows you to count time at the mode of the trend and use that time to count forward in time to have an idea of the duration of an advance (or decline). The "price range" around the "mode" of the trend is the measuring stick for the rally (or decline). So, you get both a time and price target to utilize. In ...

Liquidations of $USDJPY correlate nicely with major bottoms in $SPX500. I put this chart together to make a point to our Key Hidden Levels chat room this morning. I had never made this chart before but I knew it would look like this just from watching markets for 30+ years. I highlighted a handful of these situations from the last two years here for you to ...

I don't know what to make of this, but I found it on April 24th and I saved it as a private chart because I didn't think it was anything really of interest. It was just an observation and I've tried doing these lines with EARNINGS levels too, but I'm not one for trendlines in general because I don't believe people "THINK IN TRENDLINES". Now that almost another ...

Using the Time At Mode (Time@Mode) technique, we can see how the $EURUSD has built a base of 12 weeks and has moved strongly up and away from that accumulation level (called the "mode" or most frequent price since the bottom was reached) by forming a range expansion rally. The yellow triangle shows the range expansion move. Look for a move up to the target as ...

General education: Plotting fundamental data. POP gives you the population data for the United States. You can put the scale to log-scale so you view the same percentage changes in the data across the data series. What you can see here is a slightly different view. The pace of growth from 1975-1986 continued forward until today shows were are on that same ...

The market is always worrying about various data series and the impact on the stock market. Today, this one was inspired by a Tweet by someone I follow on Twitter that I respect. The point of this chart is to show you the batting average of "What Happens When The Unemployment Claims Bottoms Out"? Technically, we don't know this is the bottom yet, but you can ...

Using data from Finviz, here is a graph of the stock price projected out 1 year from the date of the forecast. Each company certainly has a different impact on the market based on the quality and credibility of the analyst and the firm. Either way, wouldn't it be wonderful to see every stock and the price level where analysts feel the stock might be worth? ...

The YEARLY TREND of $XAUUSD or Gold is still in an uptrend from a massive, 17 year mode at the $395-$398 zone. The 26-year sideways period from 1979-2004 had 17 years at a $3 price level between $395.3 and $398.3, which is a remarkably long time for a market to stay at one price. Once a market gets moving out of a range like that it tends to go for 17 years in ...

Looking at the long term chart of $TSLA here: There are 12 quarters where TSLA traded every single quarter between 224 and 214. Last quarter, the 1st quarter of 2017, $TSLA had a RANGE EXPANSION rally, implying it is on a new uptrend phase. If we count the range that $TSLA is in around this mode of 224-214, it is 290-140 or 150 points. We can add this ...

Here is the updated chart to my publication from last year. Once again, we can see that as crude oil tumbles, it leads to stock market selling but then that zone of selling becomes important support for future setbacks to hold. In other words, lower crude oil prices are BULLISH for stock market prices. The 76% decline in crude oil prices starting in 2013 ...

Even though the price target has been reached, there still is plenty of time left to rally. The "Time At Mode" process involves counting 17 months of time at one price as shown on the chart around the 207 level. The measured move involved the range of price action around the 207 mode, which was 214-181 (rounding off) and then adding that range to the mode to ...
