“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” – Vince Lombardi
As w have warned, even if we are in a bear market or a prolonged correction, rallies can and will likely be very vicious. It’s all about follow-through and how we react at key levels now. In today’s session, we will go through these levels and structural resistances in more detail.
Interestingly enough, the Shanghai Composite just printed new lows and other asset classes remain muted despite yesterday’s action in US markets. Needless to say, things can stay out of whack and divergences can easily extend but still it’s worth keeping an eye on this and CNH too.
Going into the FOMC minutes remember to keep an eye on Bonds and the USD… that ZB/DXY split screen will be key for cycles across the board.

Key Weekly Close

“If the problem has a solution, worrying is pointless, in the end the problem will be solved. If the problem has no solution, there is no reason to worry, because it can’t be solved.” – Zen Proverb
For the shorter-term cycles, all that really matters is how we close the week. We will have plenty to review and discuss both today and in our upcoming weekly outlook but for now, these are the levels to keep an eye on.

Charts of the Day

“There’s a big difference between probability and outcome. Probable things fail to happen-and improbable things happen-all the time.” – Howard Marks
Key week shaping up as we continue to hold key inflection points across the board. China came back from golden week and as expected, markets are trading heavy. Japan came back from the bank holiday and as expected, markets continue to trade heavy and today we’ll have to see what the Bonds do following Columbus Day. All-in-all we would expect to see a bit of a pause across the board but untimely, more follow-though to come in.

Some Key Charts

“Soros is the best loss taker I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t care whether he wins or loses on a trade. If a trade doesn’t work, he’s confident enough about his ability to win on other trades. There are a lot of shoes on the shelf; wear only the ones that fit. If you’re extremely confident, taking a loss doesn’t bother you.” – Stanley Druckenmiller

Key Weekly Closes

“Unless commitment is made there are only promises and hopes, but no plans.” – Peter Drucker
Markets continue to hover at key inflection points as the misinformation continues with a very biased news feed.
Despite all the wheeling and dealing, DXY and therefore the Euro, remain stuck in a range, whilst the really interesting action started in the metals and is slowly moving into the equity space. Keep an eye on how the metals continue to trade and how they manage to tackle the all too common ‘Whac-A-Mole’ attempts that we continue to see at the all too usual times.
Last week started with the focus on what was shaping up in the metals complex. We started this week focusing on individual sector performance, then we reviewed the action FANGs and today we will drill down on the Yen and the Nikkei.
As already discussed, we are hovering around key inflection points across the board and the weekly closes will likely provide very important clues on how the next roations will play out.
