VantagePoint ai Prediction for Tomorrow
VP clearly projects the anticipated direction and magniture of tomorrow’s market. You can use any symbol; I trade the EMini S&P. My read of this clearly the market is poised for further move sideways. The 3 MAVs are in conflict with the long-term above the zero-line, the short-term below the zero-line but turning up and the medium-term above the line but turning down. To me this speaks to more congestive sideways action coming tomorrow.
The VP projection for tomorrow is for an inside day with a high of 31,610 and a low of 31,713 Friday's close was 31,899 with a low of 31,731 and a high of 32,219. The prediction for Monday calls for a higher high and a higher low. We have been eeking out small up moves all week.
All three moving averages are now above the zero-line and the Short-Term MAV is moving downward.
Last Week I Said:
"It is still saying Long but hasn't produced any new profits this week, since touching the MidLIne. Visually the DMA is still Flat and price is stymied right at that level. Only price exceeding the MidLine will take the market higher. If it doesn't move upward soon, the DMA will hold price down again." And it broke right through the DMA and headed higher.
SunnyBands Implications
Dow Jones
The stats for the Dow are:
This tells us that the market was up nicely, ending the week 611 points above last week's close.
It cleanly broke through the DMA MidLine and headed on upward for 4 more days. Currently price is sitting right on the Upper Inner SunnyBand, which tells me that it has higher to go. The UIB is at 32,093 while the UOB is at 32,534. I think that's where we are going next.
The real question is whether this is a Bear Rally or not. At this point I think it is. The previous Bear Rally that started June 20 went up to the UIB and failed. The current rally will need to break above 32,430 to continue.
We are currently above both the 21- and 50-day MAVs and the 200-day MAV lies at 34,083..
Be careful with your long positions.
S&P 500
The stats for ES are:
The DMA_H is now showing Green again, indicating Bullishness. The ES was up like the DOW though Friday's close was weak. VantagePoint is suggesting an inside bar for tomorrow, which is defined in my Glossary. It could indicate consolidation followed by continued move to the upside. Else, it could be a reversal signal. Stay on your toes.
Purple is still on top which puts downward pressure on price action. Purple has been on top since 4/25/22. And, shows no turn as yet. It is consistently sideways and has just this week started turning upward.
The ES is now above the 21-day MAV and above the 50-day yet lower than the 200-day MAV. We are currently at 3,963. Exceeding 3,926, as I said last week, certainly took us higher. But not enough yet. Price is sitting right on the UIB and the UOB lies at 4,070 beckoning.
The ES is down 17% and is sitting above the DMA MidLine. But, it is right at the UIB.
It seems to me that it could move higher, on any kind of news. I am still waiting for more information as to whether we are in a Bear Rally or if this is a new move up.
I am still waiting for more information as to whether we are in a Bear Rally or if this is a new move up.
The Dow is also right at the UIB and hesitating. On Friday it was a down market that ended up recovering somewhat.
There is a strong Attractor at 32,502, right above current price.
The Dow will have to exceed that price to signal that we are really headed upward.
Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions
Fibonacci retracements show us that theDow is now heading for its 38.2% retracement, but is not quite there. It wouldn't surprise me to see it reached.
Stock Scan for those Above all 3 MAVs
These 18 stocks, out of the 500 in the S&P, are above all 3 moving averages.
Stocks
HUM
The stats for HUM are:
Last Close = +488.97 : the close Friday was at +488.97. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+487.54) = +1.43 Purple or Gold on top? Gold UOB = +496.27 UIB = +487.40 MidLine = +472.45 MidAngle = 38.13 LIB = +457.51 LOB = +448.64 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 476.45 - Above Above/Below 50-day MAV = 455.65 - Above Above/Below 200-day MAV = 439.55 - Above Color of DMA_H = Red
HUM has achieved its complete recovery recently and bested it with continued upward movement. HUM moved both up and down this past week. It is still above all 3 MAVs and likely headed on up.
Nevertheless, the DMA_H is showing Red still. So, this one is definitely climbing a wall of worry. Remember, I always wait for price action to confirm the signals.
The UOB lies at 496 and the UIB is at 487 . The next goal, if this little rally holds, is to break above the UOB. VantagePoint says tomorrow's prediction is for a high of 492, another 5 points upward. The predicted low is at 484.
Even though the DMA_H was been flashing Red for a few weeks, another Buy signal came on 6/21/22 at 449.98. Price is currently at 489. The DMA_H turned Gold on 6/21/22 and then reversed and turned Red on 7/12/22.
As with all my indicators I wait for price action to confirm the signal and it confirmed on 6/22/22. When it turned Red and was confirmed with price moving down was the time to take profits.
AMZN
The stats for AMZN are:
Last Close = +122.42 : the close Friday was at +122.42. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+113.55) = +8.87 Purple or Gold on top? Gold UOB = +125.19 UIB = +121.50 MidLine = +115.10 MidAngle = 40.61 LIB = +108.71 LOB = +105.02 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 113.87 - Above Above/Below 50-day MAV = 112.70 - Above Above/Below 200-day MAV = 147.67 - Below Color of DMA_H = Gold
AMZN, is still the stock with the highest PHW, and has been very tradeable from a short position since 7/16/21. It is currently down 35% from its high. Current price is 122.42, up a bit from the low 3 weeks ago. But the going has been very choppy. The chart formation was in a "spiral" with lower highs and higher lows. It's broken out of that spiral now and seems to be heading upward.
The DMA_H signalled Bullish on 5/12/22 at 115.15. That's good if you took profits at the UOB when price turned down and so did the DMA_H on 6/9/22. That Sell signal has now been broken by a Gold DMA_H signal on 7/15/22.
The 20:1 split made the stock tradeable for the common retail trader, with price now being 115.54. That's doable. The unsplit price would be 2,448.
AMZN is now above its 21-and 50-day MAVs, which is a positive sign. The 200-day MAV lies far overhead near 150. Price would need to break above the Attractor at 129.85 to convince me it is really going up.
TSLA
The stats for TSLA are:
Last Close = +816.73 : the close Friday was at +816.73. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+720.20) = +96.53 Purple or Gold on top? Gold UOB = +822.03 UIB = +793.07 MidLine = +747.82 MidAngle = 84.12 LIB = +702.56 LOB = +673.60 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 722.72 - Above Above/Below 50-day MAV = 713.50 - Above Above/Below 200-day MAV = 908.52 - Below Color of DMA_H = Gold
Cathy Wood's 5-year projection for TSLA (chart below) is still at 4,600 at this juncture; she lowered her projection a few weeks ago. Several other pundits I keep track of are suggesting a much higher price also. And they have announced a split in the form of a dividend (whatever that means). That should be bullish. And yet, prices continue to languish.
TSLA has gained 96 points since last week. I bought in again on Thursday at 824. I'm expecting it to rise to 869, where there is a strong Attractor.
VantagePoint is calling for a high of 836 tomorrow and a low of 805. The breakout last week was encouraging for further upside movement. This is still my favorite stock.
Seems to me people should be flocking to TSLA with gas prices high still. Thankfully it has dropped to $5.10/gal in San Diego, California.
I still believe we will continue to turn to carbon-neutral technologies and electric vehicles. I have not yet purchased their vehicle because I'm waiting for better batteries. I would want to get to LA and back on one charge before it is viable technology in my mind. When the batteries are better I expect this stock to really take off.
Notice that I think TSLA is still a good buy for lots of fundamental reasons (not the least of which is lower prices and a huge run-up potential.) Nevertheless, TSLA has dropped more that 39% from its high.
As you all know, I sold my holdings in TSLA at 1093.87 on 4/5/22. That's 642 points ago. Several readers have asked me to let them know when I buy back in. I'm letting you know now. And since we now have a bullish signal I'm watching Monday's action to buy back in. If price goes up this week, I'm going to buy for a run to the UIB which lies at 775ish.
ARKK
The stats for ARKK are:
Last Close = +46.25 : the close Friday was at +46.25. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+44.11) = +2.14 Purple or Gold on top? Gold UOB = +49.73 UIB = +47.70 MidLine = +44.52 MidAngle = 12.41 LIB = +41.35 LOB = +39.32 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 44.49 - Above Above/Below 50-day MAV = 42.77 - Above Above/Below 200-day MAV = 73.31 - Below Color of DMA_H = Gold
Several months ago I said I thought ARKK price would tick on down to the LOB and possibly beyond. It did just that. But, currently she is somewhat up. ARKK is now Above the 21- and 50-day MAVs although price action is turning upward.
Price is now above the Attractor eminating from a Pennant formation on 6/6/22. Last week I said: If she breaks above that line I'm hopeful for continued moves on up.
Gold is now showing on Who's On Top at the bottom of the chart which tells me that we can expect more positivity. And, the DMA MidLine is now turning up.
When you think about your own trading success, take a look at what one of the most notable traders (Cathy Wood) has done.
I do think, still, that she over-trades. And bottom fishing is a risky business.
MSFT
Last Close = +260.36 : the close Friday was at +260.36. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+256.72) = +3.64 Purple or Gold on top? Purple UOB = +277.74 UIB = +271.64 MidLine = +261.49 MidAngle = 4.29 LIB = +251.34 LOB = +245.24 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 260.60 - Below Above/Below 50-day MAV = 260.32 - Above Above/Below 200-day MAV = 296.38 - Below Color of DMA_H = Green
MSFT (closing at 260.36 Friday) is now below ts 21- and above the 50-day MAVs and still below the 200-day MAV. That's a Death Cross.
Price is caught in a Pennant formation and going sideways. And it is also right at the DMA MidLIne waiting to take direction.
Don't you think you should purchase the SunnyBands and DMA_H for your own? Sure helps Profits! I will gladly give any reader of this newsletter 20% off for the next month. Use the Discount Code SSS_Offer.
Looking at the weekly chart, MSFT is still below the Purple DMA and on Who's On Top Purple is still showing. Yet, the DMA_H gave a Buy signal on 6/24/22 at 267.70. However, it was not confirmed by price movement, so I didn't take it. Still waiting for the markets to Do Something.
Looking at the PHW_Lower indicator below (green vertical lines) you can see that you could have made $65 per share on a Long trade from that last signal and $36 per share on the short trade.
Buy the DMA_H and SunnyBands for yourself. They are life savers. I totally rely on them for my own trading. You can have these indicators for yourself. They are a great trading tool! And now I have a new indicator that plots a series of colored dots letting you see at a glance Who's On Top, Purple or Gold. Here's what it looks like. It is the series of Purple and Gold dots at the bottom of the chart.
Please join my Podcast (The Sunny Harris Show! with Sam Tennis). It's a lot of fun getting to know the Gurus from a personal standpoint and hear their predictions for the coming market. I listen to podcasts while I trade.
Oil
The stats for CL are:
Crude Light (CL) on a Daily chart (closing at 94.70 Friday) after being sharply up and then down again for the last few months with Putin's war and now it is in a large Pennant formation with price range narrowing since 3/9/22. The long term trend is now down 21% since its high of 120.50.
Putin will decide where price is going next. If, and it looks likely, Russia begins to support Kaliningrad to the West of Lithuania and North of Poland we will get into a war with Putin defending Lithuania and Poland, members of the EU.
If price breaks above the long Pennant we will be going up again; if it breaks below the Pennant we will continue to head down.
BitCoin, Etherium, Gold, Bonds
BitCoin
The stats for BTC are:
Last Close = +22,615.00 : the close Friday was at +22,615.00. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+21,190.00) = +1,425.00 Purple or Gold on top? Gold UOB = +24,496.92 UIB = +23,359.15 MidLine = +21,545.10 MidAngle = 88.89 LIB = +19,731.04 LOB = +18,593.27 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 20968.81 - Above Above/Below 50-day MAV = 24719.80 - Below Above/Below 200-day MAV = 41769.28 - Below Color of DMA_H = Gold
BitCoin is down 69.75% since its all time high of 70,040 on 11/10/21.
I'm writing this on Sunday, and in after-hours trading it is down 20 points. Price on Friday took it above the 21-day MAV which could be a positive sign. The 50-day MAV lies at 24,719 and the 200-day is way above the top of the chart.
Price is above the LOB and the LIB yet Purple is still on top. The DMA_H gave a Long signal on 6/21/22 and it was only confirmed by price action (just barely) a week ago. Price is right now below the Flat DMA and needs to break above it to show any strength. There is a very strong Attractor at 22,105, which price is now below. That's where I thought price was going, and it's now below that. All bets are off. It could easily go either way.
I still believe BTC and ETHUSD will be widely accepted as currency, though I have no idea when. And I certainly don't know where regulation would take it.
Ethereum
The stats for Ethereum are:
Last Close = +1,526.23 : the close Friday was at +1,526.23. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+1,256.88) = +269.35 Purple or Gold on top? Gold UOB = +1,629.84 UIB = +1,513.85 MidLine = +1,309.30 MidAngle = 87.47 LIB = +1,104.74 LOB = +988.75 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 1241.00 - Above Above/Below 50-day MAV = 1480.83 - Above Above/Below 200-day MAV = 2916.69 - Below Color of DMA_H = Gold
I haven't held any BitCoin. Instead, I have had ETHUSD (Etherium) since its low in May 2021. I'm still holding ETHUSD and intend to hold it for years just to see what happens. Currently it is below my buy-in point. Why not sell? Because I'm in this one for the long-term and expect it to take off at some point. If it doesn't, oh well. It was an interesting experiment.
The chart of ETHUSD has jumped 80 points and is now above the DMA MidLIne, which now shows Gold on top. That's a positive sign for ETHUSD. The current candle is a Doji, which could signal a large move to follow.
I don't know what to expect at this point. BTC is down and ETH is up. That it is above its 21-day MAV and the 50-day, and above the DMA is very positive.
Gold
The stats for Gold are:
Last Close = +1,727.40 : the close Friday was at +1,727.40. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+1,703.60) = +23.80 Purple or Gold on top? Purple UOB = +1,793.78 UIB = +1,772.35 MidLine = +1,736.47 MidAngle = -53.16 LIB = +1,700.58 LOB = +1,679.15 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 1755.08 - Below Above/Below 50-day MAV = 1806.32 - Below Above/Below 200-day MAV = 1851.37 - Below Color of DMA_H = Green
Gold is currently up 23.80 since last Friday, and yet is below all 3 MAVs. The candle today, on Sunday, is a Doji bar, which to me indicates that a bigger move is imminent.
The Midline is at 1736 the LOB is at 1,679. The MidAngle is negative. Anything could happen with this one, but it looks to me like it could go farther down.
I still believe we will hit the 2,000 price again someday and go higher. World strife used to add to the attractiveness of gold. I still think that will be broken to the upside. NOTE: Glenn Neely (of NEoWave Forecasting, and our 4th Podcast) thinks Gold has a lot lower to go. It's a riveting Podcast!
And Russia and China have been accumulating and stockpiling gold. And both are rattling sabers. And we recently put sanctions on Russia's gold pile.
August 13, 2022 I will be giving a talk at Traders Corner . You'll hear and see how I simplify Long-Term Trading to beat Buy & Hold.
Bonds
The stats for @US are:
Last Close = +142.06 : the close Friday was at +142.06. Change from last Sunday (+/-) (+140.03) = +2.03 Purple or Gold on top? Gold UOB = +142.38 UIB = +140.74 MidLine = +138.08 MidAngle = 12.95 LIB = +135.43 LOB = +133.79 Above/Below 21-day MAV = 138.73 - Above Above/Below 50-day MAV = 137.89 - Above Above/Below 200-day MAV = 149.81 - Below Color of DMA_H = Gold
Bonds are up on the week and have been up since the Green DMA_H Bullish signal on 6/15/22 at a price of 133-13/32. With the price now at 142-2/32 that's over an 8.5 point profit which translates to about $273 per contract.
Gold is still on top in the "Who's On Top" indicator. Previously it was Light Purple, signifying a weak Flat movement. Then it went to light Gold and is now solid Gold. Price dropped on 7/6 - 7/8 and subsequently is recovering. Still, they will need to best the high of Thursday at 142 and change for Bonds to continue on upward.
Bonds go down, yields go up. In fact, the 2-yr / 10-year Treasuries yield curve is now inverted; that is the yield on the short-term treasuries is less than the yield on the longer-term. Looks like we are expecting even more inflation and higher interest rates, probably by 0.5 - 0.75 points this next time.
