Dow Crosses Below 200DMA For First Time In 2013

Tyler Durden's picture




 

'They' said it could never happen... 'They' said to BTFATH... The Dow has now dropped 6.2% from its highs 14 days ago  - the biggest such drop in 11 months and for the first time in 2013 has crossed below its 200-day moving average. The trend is no longer your friend it would seem...

 

Dow is at 14719 and the 200DMA is 14728.5... the 50DMA has also crossed below the 200DMA

Actually it is more interesting that the moving averages are crossing on the downside. Not good for the bull case.

Moving average indicators are a shared delusion. They only have weight because sheep investors glom on to the herd mentality. A monthly, quarterly, or yearly moving average (based on # of trading days, not calendar year) might have some degree of merit, but 50 days and 200 days are completely arbitrary, and would have no value in a market of free thinkers. Anyone using them as an indicator is relying on the sheep. Got fleeced?

Some kind of back door deal that will screw the taxpayer will be done.

Then it will be new all time highs just in time for Christmas and Hanukkah bonuses.

It needs a few sessions of closing below the 200 mDA.

 

Then they will tell you it is just a healthy correction. Yeah. I will have to agree at that point. It will be healthy for that damned market to absolutely meltdown. It will be even healthier if it almost dies in the process. After the poison of graft has left it then, maybe, it will be rebuilt on a solid foundation of trust and honesty. But I have always been a dreamer. I will not hold my breath and suggest you do not hold yours.

 

There will be no Debt Limit deal. But the market will be saved for awhile longer.

 

The FED will increase QE by purchasing MOAR MBS from the Government. They will accelerate those purchases so that the Government can refinance the Rollovers on Bonds without incurring MOAR DEBT.

 

The Debt Limit does not have to be increased. They will let the Federal Reserves Asset sheets swell with that Toxic poison from hell. Yellen is the perfect stooge picked for this. The price for the MBS from the Government will be marked up with extreme premiums reflecxting "the improvement of the Housing Market and increasing prices" BULLSHIT. There is no Mark to Market accounting anyway. Those securities are worth a Gazillion...

 

If there is a will to Fraud you can rest assured that the US Government and the Federal Reserve will find a way. Besides the prople will buy it. It is backed by the full faith (*cough*) and credit (*choke and gag with gurgling sounds) of the United States Government. They are the most...er...trustworthy (*death rattle) people in the World.

 

Just watch the Talking Heads on yer TeeVee Set. They will never lie to you. Naaah. They iz yer friend.

 

In the short term this will decrease interest rates and increase the USD Index. Gold will tank.

 

But the acceleration of QE (NO TAPERING) will lead to a quicker more profound collapse. It just is not going to happen for a little while longer. But it will happen. You can be assured of that. SO PREPARE ACCORDINGLY.

Hubbs's picture

Yeah, Tom,

 

In my simplistic thinking, what is all this debt ceiling fuss about  when the FED can just print up the money anyway? I think it will  be interesting to see the latest scheme they cook up to print this deficiency, assuming that  a deal to raise the debt ceiling "one more time" doesn't go through, although I think they will agree on something at the last minute.

 

People will just yawn, the markets may get a boost,  UNLESS the the Pols go apeshit and pass a bill to begin siphoning off  private sector peoples' IRA and 401Ks, etc...which is why I am glad I stopped contributing 5 years ago.

People who are government employed with government pensions may not get as alarmed, because they are so used to having everything provided the by the government in the first place, they will assume it will be there for them forever.
