When a Red Flag shows up on the beach, it means that for some reason, it is unsafe to swim in those waters. Well, after 3 nice weeks of gains in the Oil & Energy sector, I am still seeing a Red Flag in those waters. As mentioned in yesterdays report, Oil itself still looks fine, but it seems that some of the Oil / Energy stocks may not like the waters that they find themselves swimming in. It looks like a Red Flag to me.
Let's take a look at our markets...
.
SPX - I mentioned that the General Markets can pull back to a 1/2 cycle low, or just go sideways along the 50sma . So far they are going sideways along the 50sma. I expect higher price ...

SPX - Day 17 has us in the middle of a move out of an ICL, and it is overbought. The short term move gets difficult to predict from this point, since it could dip to a 1/2 cycle low and then continue higher, or it may just churn sideways along the 50sma as it struggles in a wedge. Price held above that 50sma, but the Wedge is cautionary short term. My long term view remains the same.
Let's look a bit closer...

Alex - Chart Freak2019-01-23 12:17:482019-01-23 13:12:27Jan 23rd – Wednesday The Big Picture Outlook is based on current information and the formation of current set ups and what they seem to indicate going forward, but they cannot be considered 'Etched In Stone'. They give us a solid idea of what we may expect in the upcoming weeks or even months, and that helps us to move forward with our trade ideas. We have currently taken some trades at Major bottoms (ICLs) in the Equity and Energy Sectors, and we have used the Big Picture set up to have confidence in those trades.
So far, everything is right on track for what that Big Picture outlook here at Chartfreak has been for the past few months. The current trades are playing out well, but as time goes on, we need to stay alert to those big Picture set ups too. Things can gradually change over time, and adjustments are also made if necessary. For example, some may raise stops, others may decide to cut leverage, or even add to current positions , depending on how things are playing out. My admonition remains that as time goes forward, we need to stay current, stay flexible or adaptable, and Stay Frosty! Yes, we want to continue to examine the markets as we watch and see how things unfold.
.
That said, Let's examine our current Big Picture Market set ups. I am noting one change in the Precious Metals sector that needs to be mentioned and monitored going forward.
.
I said this in Friday Mornings report:
SPX – After about only 4 days sideways, The SPX , DJIA , NASDAQ , etc are slowly pushing above the 50sma. It does look like the SPX held the 8 ema, and wants higher price, so that may become the lower trend line. The 200 sma is the next likely target.
SPX Daily 1 - I also noted a rising wedge that might cause a pull back at the 50sma, but here we see here that on Friday it did break above the 50sma, and a run to the 200sma is possible ...
SPX Daily 2 - Since Friday saw the markets push higher, that wedge may become a channel higher. Read the chart.
