Bank of America Head Technician: "Our Bullish View Is Invalidated, Going Neutral; Below 1806 Spells Trouble"
Yesterday's BofA's MacNeill Curry warned that once above $1270, gold becomes "explosive" as the squeeze trap slams shut, which explains why the shorts are desperately defending the critical resistance redline. Today, the chief technician of Bank of Countrywide Lynch looks at the two other key correlation pairs: the S&P500 (via the Emini ESH4) and the USDJPY, which by virtue of being the key funding pair determines the price of risk in virtually every corner of the globe. He is not too happy with what he sees.
Here are his thoughts:
On the S&P500: ESH4: From Bullish To Neutral
Anxiety across markets has reached a n/term extreme. The trends of the past few days/weeks are set to correct, but not turn... The break of 1809.50 has invalidated our bullish view, but we ARE NOT BEARISH, JUST NEUTRAL. Going forward, we expect an 1805.75/1846.50 range trade before an eventual resumption of the larger bull trend. Below 1805.75 spells trouble, but bears only gain control on a close below 1767.75. See the chart for equivalent cash levels.
On USDJPY: Bearish $/¥.
Stay bearish $/¥. As we highlighted yesterday (Liquid Technical Alert: Stay bearish $/¥ 23 January 2014), bounces remain corrective and temporary. Our initial downside target is the 200d, at 99.97, but this should only be a temporary stopping point. Medium-term targets are seen to the Jun'13/Apr'13 lows, at 93.79/92.57, before greater signs of stabilization and a resumption of the LONG-TERM uptrend toward 124/147 (to be fine-tuned).

Finally, gold - redux: Gold upside continues - watch 1270
Gold continues to trade bullishly. Yesterday's price action formed a Bullish Outside Bar on daily charts and NOW it is testing pivotal resistance at 1270. A close above should be the catalyst for short squeeze higher, exposing the confluence of resistance between 1362/1394.

Our view is invalidated...
What a pleasant way to say we tried to get you all to keep buying what we were selling, but you stopped allowing yourselves to be sheared.
1805.750000000000000000 Bullish!
1805.749999999999999999 Bearish!
In fact it's all bearish, but nobody cares.
Chartists are modern-day fortune-tellers - nothing more, nothing less
Don't look now, but 1805.75 just got taken out...
Uh, oh...
DOW 16,000 is in danger...
15,999.80
Mission accomplished...
BTFD, period. BTFATH is out...
didn't you get the memo?
1801.5
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Right, since it was 1,801 like, 1month ago. Revisiting that old past surely means diaster as S&P should be up at leas 1% daily from here on out till he sun burns out.
I guess some people certainly cannot perceive irony without sarc tags, or do not read the OP, or both.
Perhaps you picked the wrong day to wear see thru leggings
Yellen to Bernanke on PPT phone conference: "Wait, if we just print up a lot of money and loan it to the banks at 0.25% interest, while simultaneously keeping bond rates near zero, maybe they'll use it to bid up stocks?"
Bernanke: "Actually, that's exactly what got us into this mess"
Yellen: "Maybe it's not good to have high equity values and low interest rates at the same time"
Bernanke: "I never thougth of that. I bet somebody will get a great dissertation out of that one. When's lunch time?"
hey man, that is a pretty good call and I agree; the market will go down from here, unless it goes up.
easy... that's the number they want fools to wait for while they sell into it..
gold will rise this year.. I tell everyone to $1600 but once it crosses $1500 I will begin selling into the rally
I would like to know where these fucking criminal banker assholes come up with some projected exact number everytime.
Spouting specific numbers makes them sound credible, like they really know what they are talking about. Its the same with every confidence game. Create an illusion of unquestionable authority to perpetrate a fraud. Only trust those who will admit they don't have the answers.
"We've looked at the alignment of the stars and analyzed our proprietary hockey-stick graphs. The crossing of the five-day-average support line means we cannot be bullish this week."
Definition of "Analyst's Forecast":
"Wild-ass guess carried out to two decimal places."
From their criminal banking assholes..exactly!
Ungrateful,
Technicians calculate many areas of support and resistance that are unseen by most eyes. Most that do not understand technical analysis will call it BS - but it's really powerful information that allows one to know where to buy and sell - especially on breakouts.
good .. i want to clean up with my VIX calls.
Another front-runner bank with 0 trading losses last year singing an enchanting pitch for the muppets.
Gold Bitches!!
just because the Fed can guarantee profits doesn't mean savers can't be choosy. that's still a reserve currency, it's acting like one, and not everything is following gold's lead here.
"We need the retail crowd to start selling for a while to meet our trading fee quotas this quarter!"
Thank goodness he is just "neutral", we cannot be bearsh oh no. Not in Americas markets.l
Being a broker means you never say I'm sorry or "sell, as it is all just a fucking Ponzi scheme and is going to consume us all"!

Everytime a bear wins, an angel loses its wings....
It's a gentler way of saying get out now.
They don't want you out. It's their way of sucking in bears so they can squeeze this thing higher.
Nothing like a little controlled sell of to send people scurrying to the ten year and making the fed's job a little easier.
There is only "relative" safety as it is all fucked.
their drug of choice is stocks, if they can't sell them, its game over
Dr,
I bet it's more like teh fed backing offf from buying stawks to put their money into the bonds - of course you are correct that other money coming out of stawks also help support bonds. They are fighting to hold below 3% on the 10yr.
Once they push the 10yr low enough then they have room for another run up in stawks to all new highs yet again.
Lulz.
i recall a live presentation from a very highly rated technical analyst in the late 90s (she was showing the charts of the new energy companies, ENRON) and projecting the thesis than an overbought market can work its way through high PEs and earnings projections without a correction, if there is enough time on the chart in which the market trends sideways. the market did not trend sideways, and then there was ENRON. of course we're a lot higher than that now but if you average the returns since say 98 and project to say 2018, well you get the picture
what have i told ya'll about the close in London...
every fucking day the same bullshit atttack on the phony paper price....
behold....

When I'm watchin' my TV,
And a man comes on and tells me,
How big my IRA could be,
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't buy
The same stocks as me.
I can't get no, oh no, no, no.
Just wait 'til Puerto Rico declares bankruptcy. You ain't seen nothin' yet.
what a bunch of crap. why don't they draw in the lines where the fed interceded? worthless effing charts without fed interventions highlighted. nothing has changed. to make $ you must btfd.
invalidated bull market? since this market has climbed out of every conceivable bear indicator lets say we have moved from invalidated bear market to invalidated bull market, which is quite a lot to say actually. the usual pattern of corrections has been down hard, down harder, down harder yet - break all normative resistance levels, and then rally back (markets best gains the last few years on pullbacks of greater than 10%: an article posted here some time ago) beware of the style of collapse of the 2000 nasdaq, relentless constant, and all on a small rise in interest rates
Yea when I see the DOW down aound 11,000 then I'll beieve somehing is real here. Until theit's just the same old pump and dump within a range. I'm waiting any moment for 'The New Rescue' speech from the Fed to correct this little blip down and save us all for the big Stupor Bowl weekend. We can't be down 2% without another massive emergency monetary intervention.
12800 is a bear market or 20%, which puts us back at 2000 highs. there would be a lot of consternation over that, as it would imply that bond returns were better then stock returns over that period, and we all know how poor the bond market has been.
Thanks BoAML - some kind of forecast.
Should be interesting to see what comes next week.

The NASDAQ100 is still down only 0.7% on the week. Not quite a crash - yet.
It's crashing! EVERYBODY PANIC RIGHT NOW. Go out and spend to save the economy!
the chart makers are in the Mariner Eccles building, what do they think?
just because the Fed can guarantee profits doesn't mean savers can't be choosy. that's still a reserve currency, it's acting like one, and not everything is following gold's lead here.
I love the bullshit yet real part of technical analysis. The lines people draw are totally arbitrary, but a lot of people are basing decisions on these arbitrary lines. The arbitrary line or tea leaves or astrology say people should sell if the price goes below X, and that's exactly what people do. The fundamentals have been pointing to a crash for a long time, but now the technicals are saying crash as well. This could be the start of a crash or a slow downtrend.
Bank of Murca- 'Hey thanks for buying our shares higher'.

i would wait for Stolper.. ;-)
My tea leaves say the bears are already in control.
There is no way this market stays below 1805 today. The BTFD team isn't going to be defeated so easily especially into what could be a volatile weekend.
Well until their goal becomes to make stocks go lower. These people don't care whether stocks go up or down, it's all in the timing of the pump and dump cycle.
I can see the 200day avg. on usd/jpy (99.90 area). But I think 93.00 is a bit ambitious. I've stated my inital target as the 101.50 area. Might have to lower it a bit. I still think the 1267 area in gold is a more important level then 1270, but it's only $3 difference.
Below 1806 spells trouble; with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for PONZI!
elliot wave nonsense
