Whether ST or IT, we are nearing a low with a possible spike down to SPX 2780/90

 

WHEN? It's all up in the air as reaction to today's plunge comes in and traders assess.

 

I do not expect new SPX high until September or October, if at all possible this year, but the 

markets will make a low and rally in September with the prospect of a 50bps cut as well as increased QE.

 

FED could come in earlier - they have that power

Have to go back to 12/16/1992 to find an all-time high daily close that was then immediately followed by a 6 day losing streak.

Volatility expectations among the S&P's 100 largest stocks have doubled in less than 2 weeks. One of the few times in 30 years traders have adjusted this much, this fast.

Not over as yet:

 

"Charles Hugh Smith, known for his Of Two Minds blog, like many other market bears, has been calling for a painful end to this bull run for a while now.

“Nothing the Fed could do will restore a fragile, speculation-dependent, debt-bubble economy to any sort of health,” he wrote. “Whatever the Fed does, it further distorts a massively distorted system, increasing the odds of a catastrophic re-set.”

He posted this chart to give an idea of how bubbles typically end:

Are we about to see a bounce that provides that “last exit point?”

Soon enough, Smith says, the Federal Reserve, at the behest of President Trump, will attempt to save the market but will ultimately fail."
