All Star Market Timing

Folks,

Market Observations for the Week: The E-min sold off hard on Sunday night and continues to trade weakly on Monday night.  If we get a gap-down open on the SPX Tuesday morning, that will finish an EW a-b-c correction on the hourly chart. Our TRIN-5 indicator closed above 6.0 on Friday’s close again which is bullish and a RECONFIRMING Buy Signal for the stock indices, so the SPX will be making higher highs soon. Our plan here is to buy 3-wave corrections in the DIA on the hourly chart, so we will be looking to add to the DIA on Tuesday which is a turn window in our work. Geo-political news from Iran,  oil sector for some long setups in our favored energy stocks: XOM/CVX/COP/SLB. Both the SPX and gold/silver gave us just 3-wave corrections on the 55-day Fibonacci step out on 1/14 and so, we are bullish for the SPX and the PM trade going into January. Stock selection will be key going into 2026, and we do favor an important intermediate peak in the SPX in Q1 2026 – XOM/CVX/SLB is coming into a seasonally strong period. Our current investment positions were updated on the 1/9 close: 20% cash, 5% SLV, 15% DIA, 25% GDXJ/SILJ/XLE, 15% XOM/CVX/SLB and 20% physical gold/silver/platinum. We have a 25% overall allocation to our short-term trading account which was last updated on 1/13 to include: 20% cash, 10% SLV, 20% SILJ, 10% Barrick, 20% DIA, 20% XOM/SLB.

TURNING POINT DAY

Our turn window into the weekend is on 1/9-1/10.

Folks,

Market Observations for the Week: The SPX made a low on Friday, 1/2 and the stock market is rallying hard into the first trading week of the New Year. The DJIA made an all-time high on Monday and the SPX is close to matching that. The big volatility that we saw for the SPX has been a strong trend up so far, so our caution is letting up to the point that we plan to buy 3-wave corrections in the DIA. The news from Venezuela will have us watching the oil sector for some long setups in our favored energy stocks: XOM/CVX/COP/SLB. How the SPX and gold/silver trade into January 9 will dominate our thinking into Q1 2026.

TURNING POINT DAY

Our turn window for the coming week is the 1/5-1/6, the Full Moon Timing Window.

Folks,

Market Observations for the Week: The SPX declined on Friday, the first trading day of 2026, but the futures are up overnight Sunday and the SPX could give us a gap-up open on Monday. The SPX gave us four down trading days in a row and we could see a rally on Monday as the big institutions return to Wall Street. We are still cautious here for the stock market and we expect some big volatility to hit the market by the close of Monday or Tuesday. There is a huge cluster of astro-finance activity this week and that promises some big volatility – we plan to mostly watch on Monday and watch the relative strength of the market sectors. The news from Venezuela will have us watching the oil sector for some long setups. We are looking to raise cash on Monday, 1/5 on the expected SPX rally. How the SPX and gold/silver trades into January 5 will dominate our thinking into Q1 2026. The VIX could be tracing out an EW 1-2, i-ii to the upside and could spike to give the SPX a slap in the face on the first week of the New Year. Stock selection will be key going into 2026, and we do favor an important peak in the SPX and in Q1 2026 – gold/silver may have already made an important peak on 12/28, but XOM/CVX/SLB is coming into a seasonally strong period. Our current investment positions were updated on Friday’s close: 25% cash, 0% QQQ, 15% GDXJ/SILJ/XLE, 15% XOM/CVX/SLB and 20% physical gold/silver/platinum. We have a 25% overall allocation to our short-term trading account which was last updated on 1/2 to include: 50% cash, 0% SLV, 0% SILJ, 0% Barrick, and 50% XOM/SLB.
