How will the US air strike on Iran impact the world’s stock markets?

I don’t think there will be any impact at all. There may be some dip and overreaction of the markets as is typical these days, but then the markets return back to their normal behavior. If you look at the overnight US futures and market opening we were about 1.22% negative (when I saw it, Continue reading →

So, I will keep it simple today: The markets broke up through their resistances recently and they are in clear uptrend (see SPX chart and IWM charts below). Continue reading →

WHAT DO I EXPECT NEXT WEEK (Nov 24 – 29)?

After a Friday’s strong rally a week ago the market went up on Monday and then stalled. I mentioned to be cautious although I believed we had room to upwards ①. After that, the market went mostly down ②.       But, it was evident, that this market was not in panic, it was Continue reading →

Topping pattern?

The market was doing well in the morning but at about 10 am MT it went into a spiraling selloff. After the fact, the media told us why. Great to know, now I can sleep better. But later on the market started recovering the loss. The market lost -1.34% intraday. It recovered a bit and Continue reading →
