S&P 500 Technical analysis. - Part 3
Let's continue our S&P 500 technical analysis.
The above chart showed that 2 positive signals had developed prior to the S&P rise. The candlestick had closed above the 5-day SMA and the stochastic had a bullish crossover.
If there were at least 2 positive signals, we could execute a trade with a calculated risk.
What's going to happen next?
A candlestick gap has occurred and this will provide a support level for the S&P. As long as the S&P doesn't fall below the gap, the S&P will continue to rise. Once the gap is breached, we will have to draw new resistance and support levels based on recent high volume days.

Another constellation is aligning and a big financial crisis is brewing this time. - Part 9

Many banking and financial entities and experts are warning about an impending financial crisis after our first warning. Oxford economics is the latest entity to warn about an impending financial crisis.

It seems to me that an unknown force or someone is trying to capitalize on this by disseminating information to exacerbate this crisis.
FinCEN is a highly classified US agency. Therefore, the leakage of sensitive documents is impossible unless someone leaks them deliberately. All the financial documents will be stored in a secured server with encryptions. Even if the documents are stolen, you will still need passwords to access/read them.
Therefore, it looks like someone is trying to create a banking crisis at this moment to facilitate a financial crisis. Let's see how this will pan out.

The US property market is becoming distorted now! - Part 3
The US existing home sales have hit 6m which is 14 years high in a recessionary environment. Why?
The continuous MBS purchases by the US FED have caused this unusual phenomenon because these MBS purchases encourage the banks to give out more mortgage loans since they can transfer the risks to the US FED by selling the MBS to the US FED.

S&P 500 Technical analysis. - Part 2
Just as expected, the S&P 500 traded between the drawn resistance and support levels.
We need to wait for S&P to breach either side to determine its trend. Thereafter, we will need to draw the new lines again.

Is the US preparing for a 2nd covid lockdown?
The US imports have surged as the retailers are stockpiling in view of the COVID resurgence situation.
In August, we had analyzed that the US was undergoing an inventory reduction phase and we were correct in our analysis.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2020/08/how-do-you-interpret-ppi-vs-cpi-and.html
Then, in September, we concluded that the US would end its inventory reduction phase after our PMI analysis.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2020/09/the-us-ism-pmi-improved-again-in-august.html
The US retailers' stockpiling have corroborated our PMI analysis that the US inventory reduction phase would end soon.
