September S&P E-mini Futures: Yesterday the ES dropped about 10 points
below its trading range low but has since recovered half of its decline from
2451.50. I suspect that a drop below 2400 lies ahead but will put aside this
suspicion and turn bullish if the ES can move visibly above 2431. If the ES
does drop below 2400 on relatively high volume I will conclude that a move down
to 2290 is underway. Even in that event I still will expect the ES to trade above
2500 later this year.
QQQ: Short term support is
at 136. This average is headed for 150.
TNX (ten year note yield): The 10 year yield has dropped visibly
below its 200 day moving average yesterday. The market is concerned about the
deflationary effects of shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet. Should the 10 year
yield stay below this moving average I think the US stock market will be
vulnerable to a drop of 10-15% because of these balance sheet concerns.
Euro-US Dollar: The ECB’s QE policy will ultimately drop
the Euro below par. The 113-117 zone is long term resistance.
Dollar-Yen: A new bull market is underway. Support now
is at 108. Upside target is 126-27 then 136
West Texas Crude Oil: Support at 45 has apparently failed. Resistance
is at 48. Downside target is 36-38.
August Gold: Next
resistance is at 1305. I still think Gold is headed back to its 1035 low.
July Silver: Silver is headed for 13.00 and below.
Google: Upside target at 1010 is nearby but the bull market is still
going strong. Next upside target will be 1070. Support is at 900.
Apple: AAPL
is on its way to 162. Support is at 144.
Facebook: Support at 140. Next upside target is 160.
Twitter: Resistance at 20 is likely to stop any rally. A move back
above that level would have longer term bullish implications. Until then TWTR
is headed for 10.00.
Alibaba: I think BABA will have a hard time moving past 145-48 without
a 15-20 point drop first. Support is 125
Visa: Next upside target is 105. Support is at 90.
