Bears must be extra careful here since one tweet such as "talks going well. holding off on tariffs for now" will reverse this market and zoom away to new highs. But, a bullish tweet is needed now to hold SPX 2850.

Asia stocks resume slide following through soft US session as tariff worries linger. China's Liu He and US's Lighthizer will only have a few hours together Thu night to de-escalate trade tensions before tariffs are hiked on Fri morning. US 10y yield holds at 2.46%. Gold near 1.3k

June, 2018 https://realmoneypro.thestreet.com/dougs-daily-diary?published[value][date]=2018-06-11#with-global-coor-20180611  For now it seems to me that fundamentals and technicals have given way to The Swan. Black or Orange or hopefully Green, who knows what color but over the short term it is all about which way the Trade talks go.

From here:

https://cracked.mark...-being-buyable/

The next meaningful support level is 2,850 and the 50dma. That was a near-term bottom for Tuesday’s selling. Break that and far more durable support rests underneath us at 2,800. If that fails to hold, then we need to reevaluate all of our assumptions. But until then, this is just another buyable dip on our way higher. People always pray for a pullback, but when the market gods answer their prayers, they are too scared to buy the discounts.

Against my better judgement, opened a NQ long trade .... 

I would not sell in May and go away, I will trade in May, sort and long.

 

"Technically Speaking: 'Trade War In May And Go Away'
May 7, 2019 3:54 PM ET

Over the weekend, President Trump decided to reignite the "trade war" with China with two incendiary tweets.

The problem is that China knows time is short for the President and subsequently there is "no rush" to conclude a "trade deal" for several reasons:

With the market pushing overbought, extended, and bullish extremes, a correction to resolve this condition is quite likely."

Many of the analysts I follow think this is a mere pullback and the trend up resumes to new highs, Quite possible. 

 

"New all-time highs – as projected – were the only possible way to reconcile those indicators.

Even though the S&P has reached the minimum requirement before a larger (and quite possibly nasty) pullback, the yellow projection carries the S&P 500 to trend line resistance around 3,000. 

My preferred scenario was featured in the May 1 Profit Radar Report (see below). Based on this scenario, the S&P would drop to 2,890 – 2,865 (in wave 4) and rally towards 3,000 (in wave 5)."

"Why is this my preferred scenario? Because waves 4 (especially when comparatively long-winded) tend to drag down high breadth and momentum readings (seen at wave 3 highs), which creates the bearish divergences usually seen at the wave 5 top (although the upcoming top should be noteworthy, I don’t expect this to be a major market top).

There was a bearish RSI divergence at the April 30 closing high, which could be enough for a sizeable drop, but a more pronounced set of divergences at higher prices would be a clearer signal.

Summary

The expected down side risk became reality, and the S&P may continue lower, but the 2,890 – 2,865 zone is where a rally to about 3,000 may start."

I see 2650 here, 10% correction, unless Trump turns this around soon. China, with a long term approach is most likely willing

to wait until the 2020 elections to see if Trump loses, and a stock market and economy down will not help him win.

As I said, be alert for the tweet, here it is, good so far for about 100 DOW points and 15 SPX points, but may suffer from erectile dysfunction! 

 

 

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Chinese negotiators “just informed” the White House they are “coming to the U.S. to make a deal” on trade.

One thing I'm sure of is that the Fed or someone or maybe even just someone inside the government is making a lot of money trading before these tweets and comments come out.  It's ridiculous how it moves the markets, they shouldn't be allowed.
