Unless you were following our research, see below, and were already aware of the many warning signs we\u2019ve been posting in our continued efforts to help traders and to help educate skilled investors, you were probably caught completely off guard by the news of near trade tariffs last Sunday, May 5th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it, the short position in the VIX was an indication that institutional and retail investors had gone \u201call in\u201d on this rally and had failed to even consider anything disrupting the narrow range price rally that had been in place over the past 45+ days.\u00a0 Well, all of that changed on Sunday night and many traders woke up Monday morning to the INDU down nearly -500 points.<\/p>\n

The most incredible facet of this rotation was that the markets had already discounted the trade tariff news and began to rally almost immediately after the opening bell on Monday.\u00a0 Sure, we are not out of the woods at this time with the potential for continued price volatility and price rotation, but the fact that the US stock market was capable of rallying back from a very deep opening price shows just how resilient the US stock market and the economy really are.\u00a0 The issue this time, we feel, will be felt in the global market and in foreign currency rates. We\u2019ll get into that more as we continue.<\/p>\n

April 28, 2019: Markets Are Setting Up a SHAKE-OUT \u2013 Be Prepared
\n<\/strong>https:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/markets-are-setting-up-a-shake-out-be-prepared\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve covered a bit of our past research, allow me to attempt to summarize things a bit.<\/p>\n

_ First, we continue to expect new high prices to be established over the next 30+ days.\u00a0 Yes, volatility will be larger than it was 30 days ago, but we believe the \u201cShake-out\u201d is just starting and we believe the US stock market will continue to push higher \u2013 at least for the next 3+ weeks.<\/p>\n

_ Second, we are very cautious of the July\/August 2019 Cycle Predictions, see above.\u00a0 We believe these cycles could be a warning of a major price trend change that prompts some type of \u201cdynamic shift\u201d in the global markets.\u00a0 Right now, it appears a \u201cShake-out\u201d in China\/Asia may be in play.\u00a0 But we believe a bigger \u201cShake-out\u201d may be brewing somewhere else in the world.<\/p>\n

_ Lastly, we believe any top formation in the US Stock market will result in a Pennant\/Flag formation, rotational top formation, that will give traders ample time to reposition their trades and reduce risks.<\/p>\n

Just a few days ago, we posted this research to help traders understand just how close the markets are to topping and what to expect \u2013 see below.\u00a0 We continue to believe this \u201cShake-out\u201d is more about disrupting low volatility expectations and less about a major market top in the US stock market<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

April 30: How Close Are The Markets From Topping?
\n<\/strong>https:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/how-close-are-the-markets-from-topping\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Chinese stock markets will likely continue to drop as new expectations are suddenly realized and trade issues, especially IP and future IP partnerships, become a major contention moving forward.\u00a0 Every step China takes, right now, is very fragile in terms of US expectations and the ability to show the world China is willing to become a responsible player in the technology field.\u00a0 If China fails to realize this, the world will clearly see that China\u2019s intention is to take as much as they can from global technology leaders while stuffing their pockets full of foreign cash \u2013 it will not end well.<\/p>\n

The Shockwave that has just started to unfold across the global stock market\/financial world is that trade, economic expectations, and currency valuations will continue to \u201crevalue\u201d to address these ongoing concerns until some formal resolution works itself into place.\u00a0 In the meantime, any new issues that become present could further complicate these \u201crevaluation\u201d efforts.\u00a0 The concert just started, folks.\u00a0 We have a long way to go before this is all over with.<\/p>\n

This Weekly YM chart showing our proprietary Fibonacci price modeling system is suggesting we have a \u201clong way to go\u201d before we could consider any downside price rotation a major risk.\u00a0 The recent price highs in this YM chart have prompted a Bearish Fibonacci Trigger Price near the December 2018 lows (see the RED line near the $21,450 level).\u00a0 You might be asking, \u201cwhy so low?\u201d.\u00a0 This \u201clearning modeling system\u201d attempts to learn from price and attempts to identify where key price levels are that MUST be reached for a confirmed trend change.\u00a0 As price has continued to rotate within a very wide range over the past 7+ months, the Fibonacci modeling system is suggesting that price could fall all the way back to near the December lows WITHOUT triggering a new \u201clong term\u201d bearish price trend.<\/p>\n

In other words, the current price range that would constitute \u201cnormal price volatility\u201d is anywhere between $21,450 and $26,950.\u00a0 When we said to expect increased volatility, we really meant it.\u00a0 This is a $5,500 range in the YM that could become a \u201cnormal volatility zone\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The NQ Weekly chart, on the other hand, is providing us a much clearer Bearish Fibonacci Trigger level, near $7,393.\u00a0 Once the price is able to close below this level, then we would consider the NQ entering a new Bearish trend as long as price stays below the $7,393 level.\u00a0 If it was to rally back above this level, then the trigger is negated as long as it stays above the trigger level.<\/p>\n

Pay very close attention to the YELLOW price channels that originate back in early 2018.\u00a0 Those levels are likely to play a very important role in going forward as price attempts to establish new price ranges\/channels throughout this expected price rotation and volatility.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lastly, we\u2019ve been warning that the Financial Sector could come under some intense pressures over the next 5 to 16+ months as all of this \u201cShockwave\u201d plays out.\u00a0 The reason we believe the Financial sector is vulnerable to this crazy volatility is that the exposure to multiple levels of capital risk could complicate the long-term earnings capabilities of this sector.\u00a0 Almost all of these firms are involved in Personal, Corporate\/Business, Real Estate, Trade, Global financing, Currency, and Bond related business ventures.\u00a0 These firms are not remotely immune to any \u201cShockwave\u201d \u2013 they are located right in the Bullseye\/Target zone.<\/p>\n

We believe the XLF may come under increased pressure over the next 3~6+ weeks as the Shockwave event continues to unfold.\u00a0 We believe issues with Personal\/Consumer credit will be the first sign of a Shockwave event and further pressures from Corporate\/Business\/Global\/Currencies would likely be the second shoe to drop over the next 8+ months.\u00a0 We believe a rotation in the XLF to near $25 is very likely over the next 3~6 months and that this move could be the result of extended risk factors originating from the \u201cShockwave event\u201d we\u2019ve been suggesting is currently unfolding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Skilled traders should be watching technology stocks, the NASDAQ, the INDU, the Financial Sector and commodity prices over the next 4+ months for any signs that the Shockwave event is increasing in amplitude.\u00a0 Additionally, pay very close attention to how currencies are moving and where the US Dollar is moving in relation to other currencies.\u00a0 Gold and Silver should also be on your radar over the next few months as well.\u00a0 Lastly, prepare for the major cycle event in July\/August 2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our advice continues to be to look for opportunities as the volatility increases and continue to expect an upside price bias in the US stock market \u2013 at least until we have any strong evidence that price trend has changed.\u00a0 Don\u2019t buy into the doom-sayers just yet.\u00a0 In our opinion, this US upside price move is not over yet.<\/p>\n
