The cycle screening data has now been updated.
When a technical signal is rendered and then suddenly reverses, we call that a whipsaw. Whipsaw signals are often signs of powerful moves ahead. Last week we had a helluva whipsaw of the post Labor Day short term buy signal for the market.
That massive turn has put the market in position for a big decline. It doesn’t guarantee it, but it does set up the conditions for one.

The buying the previous week actually weakened the market in an environment where longer term demand is limited by the constant shortage of money (liquidity) caused by two related forces. One is the Fed’s policy of removing $95 billion from the banking system every month. The other is that the US Treasury keeps adding $100 billion per month on average to the supply of investment paper in the market. Both processes suck cash out of investment accounts, requiring stocks to be liquidated. Non subscribers click here to access.

Cycle Screening Measures – Thanks to my bank and data provider I was unable to update this portion of the report over the weekend as usual. Due to an overly aggressive fraud detection procedure, my bank, in its infinite wisdom, rejected my monthly payment for my market data that allows me to do my regular cycle screens. It’s a payment that I’ve made automatically every month since I joined this bank 7 years ago. And of course, neither the bank nor the data provider had any customer service available over the weekend. I will post an updated report as soon as possible. Non subscribers click here to access.
Likewise, I will be unable to post the weekly Swing Trade Stock Screen Chart Picks until data is restored. I will post that as soon as possible also. Non subscribers click here to access.
