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.

S&P 500 Technical analysis.
S&P 500
I was asked about the types of technical analysis that I used. Thus, I would like to give my opinion about technical analysis.
I am a fundamental analyst more than a technical analyst because I've more faith in the fundamental analysis due to my life experiences.
Let me begin the journey with LTCM.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management
Basically, LTCM was a quantitative fund management firm which was managed by 2 economics Nobel prize laureates and many PHDs in mathematics and computing, and also top technical analysts. The failure of LTCM had shown that technical analysis per se didn't work.
Furthermore, there is not a billionaire now who uses technical analysis. The only billionaire is Warren Buffett who uses fundamental analysis per se and he doesn't believe in technical analysis.
Since I am neither a Nobel laureate nor a PHD in maths or computing, I will stick to do what I do best which is fundamental analysis.
Nevertheless, I will still give my technical analysis for S&P. Technical analysis is something subjective and different people will interpret it differently because different people have different time horizons in investments.
I am a swing or position trader technically instead of a day trader. For explanation purpose, I will use publicly available charting tools to illustrate my technical analysis.
I've drawn 2 lines on the chart. The recent 2 high points line will be the resistance level and the 2 low points line will be the support line. Furthermore, I've added Bollinger bands (2 Std Dev, 95% inclusion), 60-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), 100-day SMA, RSI and Stochastics to the chart.
From the chart, it looks like the S&P is at a pivoting point whereby it will either rebound or continue its downtrend. If the S&P breaches the 100-day SMA or my support level (also near 100-day SMA), it will continue to fall further. However, if the S&P closes above my resistance level and/or climbs above the 60-day SMA, then the S&P will continue its recovery. As for the RSI, the recovery will take place after it crosses the 50 level mark on the chart. The stochastics are in oversold territory but are stagnant now. Thus, a stochastics upward crossover will signal a recovery in the S&P.
In conclusion, I will adopt a wait-and-see position for the technical signals to be clearer first.
The technical indicators that I commonly used for my investment time horizon:
5-day SMA
10-day SMA
20-day SMA
60-day SMA
Bollinger bands (2 std dev)
Self-drawn technical lines (resistance and support lines)
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Momentum indicator (Stochastics or DMI)
Last but not least, I use candlesticks just to determine their high-low points and also to check for any candlestick's gap. I don't interpret the candlesticks' patterns (doji, hammer, etc) because they were invented based on perishable commodities.

The Philippines has disgraced itself in the UN by using a fake international court ruling.
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/duterte-gets-rare-praise-raising-103654139.html
The Philippines has disgraced itself in the UN by raising a fake international court ruling (PCA).
We had stated that PCA was not an international court previously.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2016/07/the-truth-about-south-china-sea-ruling.html
The UN also stated that PCA was not under the UN because its international court was ICJ.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2016/07/icj-has-declared-that-it-is-not.html
By bringing up a fake international court ruling in the UN, the Philippines only serves to disgrace itself because the true international court is ICJ which is under the UN. By the way, the Philippines has not recovered the US$30m spent for the fake court ruling from the US yet.

The Greek Ex-Finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, shared his first-hand experience about China.
https://twitter.com/isgoodrum/status/1104848244671016960?lang=en
Yanis Varoufakis, a Greek ex-finance minister and an economics professor, shared his firsthand experience about China.
His speeches contradicted the fearmongering by the US & other European countries.
He also told other countries to stop demonizing China.

US F22 and F35 are not stealth anymore!
China can detect and track US stealth fighters and bombers now.
China has just released its Jilin satellite video footage to show that it can track the US F22 in the sky.China can also detect F22 and F35 using its quantum and JY radars.

The latest 5G technology is coming!
Many people including my peers still don't understand 5G technology because they only know that it is a lot faster than 4G.
Therefore, I will give you a simple explanation.
5G technology will revolutionize the existing ICT infrastructure. Why?
This is because 5G technology doesn't focus on standalone advanced system-on-chip (Soc) processors that have to be in every device but rather it focuses on the super-fast transmission networks. This technical ideology will change the existing Infocomm technology infrastructure. For example, a standalone device just needs to have a super-fast transmission network and transfer all the processing to a cloud computing network which is run by a supercomputer. In this way, the cloud computing network can do the processing much faster than a standalone device and also can perform very complex tasks that the standalone device cannot do. Furthermore, this will lower the standalone device cost which will benefit consumers since advanced Soc processor is no longer needed in every device.
In the video, Alibaba has created a 5G device that relies on its super cloud computing network. Moreover, this device just needs to connect to a wireless screen and keyboard through BT or Wifi to turn it into a high-powered desktop.
6G technology will be much better than 5G because it will be faster and have a worldwide connection since 6G infrastructure involves micro-satellites. With 6G technology, a person can have a network connection anywhere (in the middle of the ocean or on top of a mountain).
Welcome to the future, guys! Cheers!

We had already told you that coronavirus was heat tolerant before Hungary research.
The Hungary scientist found that the coronavirus could within high temperate and the summer season couldn't get rid of the virus.
However, we had already announced this in April 2020.

Another constellation is aligning and a big financial crisis is brewing this time. - Part 8
https://www.investing.com/news/economy/world-banks-ifc-warns-of-asiapacific-financial-crisis-2298424
The world bank has just warned of a financial crisis to corroborate our previous warnings.
https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2020/08/another-constellation-is-aligning-and.html
https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2020/08/market-distortions-are-precursors-of.html
I would like to offer a technical perspective after my previous qualitative analysis.
The Cape Ratio (Blue Line) is currently between 29-30. This chart is showing that a bear market will proceed to start a downtrend when the Cape Ratio starts to fall from its recent peak. The S&P 500 is at a record high now and the Cape Ratio has just started to fall below its recent peak which presages a bear market.
Both my qualitative and quantitative analyses are showing that the constellation is aligning and this gives consternation of an impending financial crisis.

Besides trying to poison Asians with chemical-laced meats, the US is trying to poison Asian vegetables now. Once the US can conquer Thailand, it will be easier to bulldoze its way through ASEAN to accept Bayer's toxic products.
Vegans have to worry about their veggies now!

Bogus HK virologist's accusation about covid was quickly dismissed by other US scientists.
Other US scientists have come out quickly to dismiss the bogus HK virologist's accusation about COVID being created in Wuhan Lab because it is against all existing scientific literature of the virus.
If she is right, she will be awarded the Nobel prize but we all know that she won't because she is lying for the sake of a huge payout by Steve Bannon. Other US scientists have connected her to Steve Bannon and the organization he set up.
We had already stated clearly in our previous posting that she was lying because the genome sequencing showed that the ancestral genome was traced back to the US. If China created this virus in Wuhan Lab, the ancestral genome should be found in Wuhan residents but Wuhan had no such ancestral genome at all.

WTO found the US guilty of illegal imposition of tariffs against China. Hahaha!
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/wto-finds-u-tariffs-china-143458942.html
The US was found guilty by WTO. Needless to say, the US sanctions are also illegal.
If other countries continue to carry out US tariffs and sanctions against China, these countries will be breaching WTO rules too.
CIA spy was caught in Venezuela. Hahaha!
Hahaha!
CIA spy was caught by Venezuela for trying to sabotage oil refineries and electrical service.
If the US can do this to another country, then another country can do this to the US too. This is what I called a fair game!
