Do Not Disturb, Drunk on a Yacht

已更新

Boy do I wish that were true. Instead I'm waking up to a freezing cold winter in the North Pole (Canada), and a world on lockdown. It is Friday, though, so I'm in a particularly good mood, and if I must say, watching global markets in the red (for a change), just puts a smile on my face. Yesterday we discussed the potential for further downside, off the back of overbought conditions across multiple timeframes. Overnight, the S&P tested the 100 period MA on the hourly (3644.30), after hitting a session low of 3628.38, just above the gap from Dec 1st. It feels unusual discussing a gap down, as it's been so long since the market has shown any real weakness. I almost forgot what it felt like to see red numbers on the screen on a Friday, but the majors are all down around half a percent, and Vix is up 6% to a 24 handle as we approach the open. According to the financial media, today's sell-off is brought to you by, "Stimulus doubts," and "Disruptive Brexit talks." Nothing to do with the historic valuations, debt, lockdowns, or the crumbling economy I guess.

Today we'll be watching the 21 day EMA around 361.80 for initial support, and if sentiment is actually shifting negative, the top of the megaphone at 358.50 is most definitely in play. We could see buy the dippers panic bid markets on the open, but I have a feeling the tank is beginning to run on fumes. The Vix, Rates, the Dollar, and the Put/Call ratio are all showing strength today, so let's see what happens next...

Small relief rally back to the 21 period EMA on the 5 minute (364.11). Let's see if the bulls make a run for the 364.40 level once again. If so, I expect a rejection before another leg lower. Polarity principle and all that jazz...
