    Phinance's phavorite political prisoner, Martin Armstrong, cautions that "the EU is in dire position", on the precipice of shattering. Since "debts will never be paid and interest expenditures are the greatest transfer of wealth in history ... Western society is falling apart ... If we do not act, civil unrest will explode. The current choice is DEFAULT or HIGHER TAXES & CIVIL UNREST ... Someone has to step forward to save us or we may be doomed. It's time to wake up for this is the future of our children and their children at stake. "

Hard to see given our current credit/debt based monetary system.

We don't "print money" we issue credit/debt.  AFAIKT, tight now there's 480 trillion in interest bearing paper out there (out of 1.44 quadrillion dollars of derivatives). 

Under the current system, new debt would have to be issued at 0% and in the tens of trillions...  AND it would have to CIRCULATE.

But it's not circulating, the banks are hoarding it because they know CRE is going to implode, and that the American people are liable to riot if they manage bailout v2.0.

So I see more deflation than inflation on the horizon.

The primary trend for equities remains down and we will make new lows according to my charts.

Technical analysis can also assist us as to the direction of the economy.

My USD indicator has been giving BULLISH warnings for some time and I'm still expecting a dollar rally.

My indicators can identify trend changes before they occur.

They warned me of an impending market crash back in early  *2007*

The VIX index continues to give bullish warnings as well.

Yes there are signs of technical weakness and there have been for months, but the craziness continues none the less. I think you need to be a bit more open minded to the possibility that there really wont be a major correction in the near future, or even in the next year.

I have been observing your play calling, in fact, I recently got out of my gold futures and moved into dollars at 75.5, which the trade is working nicely thanks to you. I am not a techinician, but absorbing the game being played, I think your right on with a continued dollar rally. So, I am long and strong the USD. However, I believe gold will provide another good trading opportunity. Pardon my ignorance, but is there a way from a technical standpoint to indicate if gold and the dollar can/will rally together or trade in tandem?

Thank you again.

GS - This is my first email on ZH, I didnt see my email\to you posted so I am re-typing my question, I am not a technician.

Based on your comments and the way the market was trading I got out of my gold futures and bought US Dollars, which is working thanks to you. I believe your right that the Dollar will continue to rally. But I still believe the economics and purpose of gold, so I believe gold will provide another trading opportunity.

From a technical standpoint or if could be an indication that the USD and Gold could rally together/trade in parity?

The weekly charts of key equity indexes show increasing signs of weakness and when they also begin to trend down, the March 2009 bear
market rally can be confirmed as over.

It won't hold though.

i agree. everyone closed out on friday just to avoid the EU bailing out Greece news tonight, and the short-term that will follow it. i'm hoping we get back to 1090-1100 so i can take more short positions.

that is what is has come to, we expect govt intervention so we don't hold short positions over the weekend. just stupid.

It seems the DOW / SP500 / EURO / COPPER counter trend rally may start this coming week.

Choppy sideways action and chronic mixed signals continued last week, but the buying support I had previously noted, returned yet again on Friday 12 Feb.

It seems the DOW / SP500 / EURO / COPPER counter trend rally may start this week as intra day signals are bullish again.

But daily charts remain bearish and this will always have more overall influence over the market direction.

the major dow down trendline from the 2007 top would be hit at about 10550. I doubt the dow stops until at least there. If that trendline is broken, then I think everyone must seriously consider that this current bull has a long way to go.

Yes and we are on fumes here. It literally feels like that moment of weightlessness at the top of a roller coaster where everything seems to pause momentarily.

I am not a technician or anything...but the air has a heavy feeling such as right before a storm. I have sold all equities and drawn down everything from my accounts and am holding about 80% physical cash and the rest PM's right now.

If history is any guide whatsoever, what comes next aint going to be pretty. Will not even bother shorting this market, just waiting on a tangible industrial revolution to take hold (within next 18-30 months)

Grand Supercycle,

Thanks for your updates. In your view, have we topped out on the S&P/Dow for this bear market recovery? Does counter-trend rally mean that new highs aren't possible?

Thanks again.

             --------------------------

Anonymous,  daily and weekly charts remain bearish but messy and very choppy. 

A counter-trend rally is a small rally that goes against the main trend (which is currently down / sideways)

Since the daily and weekly time frames are still bearish I don't see any new highs coming up.

Hi,

No targets for the USD index atm, but daily and weekly charts remain bullish and I still expect a substantial USD rally as other currencies like EURO etc. continue to trend down.

It could be a multi year USD uptrend.

The USD uptrend should strengthen when the DOW/SP500 downtrend becomes more established.

But there will be more SP500/DOW choppy counter trend rally this week it seems. So this means some EURO strength and thus USD weakness.

The DOW counter trend rally continues to trend up and current target is 10,550

USD should retrace during this time while EURO has a counter trend rally (it's just started)

This choppy DOW rally could end anytime as the more influential daily and weekly charts remain bearish.

Looking ahead, the USD rally I forecast way back last year should continue to strengthen and EURO / COPPER should continue to weaken during 2010.

We have seen directionless, choppy action with conflicting signals.

However DOW/SP500 weekly and monthly charts are not bullish and when the current buying support stops, the main downtrend can resume.

Rockfish,

EURO and USD index daily charts are choppy and going sideways atm, but the more influential weekly outlook has not changed.

When DOW/SP500 primary downtrend resumes this year, the EURO and USD index should trend better. (ie USD up and EURO down)

USD index weekly chart still gives bullish warnings.

EURO weekly chart still gives bearish warnings.

USDJPY (dollar yen) daily chart now gives bullish warnings.

DOW/SP500 counter trend rally continues but it could terminate anytime as larger time frame charts are not bullish.

The 10,550 target may be exceeded, anything is possible with these choppy extremely volatile markets.

What we do know is that DOW/SP500/COPPER/EURO weekly charts remain bearish/sideways and they've been like this for a few months now.

UPDATE:

The opposite applies for the USD index.

As the buying support is still present, the DOW/SP500 counter trend rally may continue for longer.

The DOW/SP500/EURO/COPPER bearish medium to long term outlook has not changed. (ie their weekly and monthly charts remain bearish)

The undecided EURO daily chart has now gone neutral (ie going sideways) so it could break out up or down.

EURO weekly chart is bearish to neutral. This medium to long term outlook will always be more influential than the daily chart.

The opposite applies for the USD index.

In other words, this year I expect a continuation of the USD rally when the DOW/SP500 downtrend resumes.

There is minimal stockmarket market consensus: reflecting the uncertainty and chaos in the economy.

So conflicting trend action continues.

When the daily chart direction is not in sync with the weekly direction and the monthly direction this is the result.

These conflicting cycles have been occuring for several months now and as mentioned earlier, this choppy directionless behaviour won't be resolved until the DOW/SP500/EURO resume their downtrend and USD resumes it's uptrend.

But what happens when market participants are more in agreement with each other and trend direction is more uniform and reliable ?

That's what we had between 2003 and 2007 but it's not coming back.

Did you see it's up to 10700 almost now?

Just because you change your calls the next day when they're wrong over and over does not mean that you weren't wrong in the first place.

Many analysts are aware that currently there is much uncertainty regarding market direction.

Lack of consensus between market participants being a significant factor.

Conflicting patterns have been occuring for several months now and this choppy directionless behaviour won't be resolved until the DOW/SP500/EURO resume their downtrend and USD resumes it's uptrend.

Unfortunately I have no control over the economy or the markets.

Two monthly charts of the DOW are enclosed showing how we have been going sideways for several months now. In other words the big picture as represented by these long term charts - shows how buying and selling strength is in equal proportions and as a result there is no clear trend on a monthly basis.

SP500 chart is very similar.

The strength are not proportional, we have had many up days on small volumes and of the down days, most are distribution days on much higher volume.
