09:30:00 Pete | PRE-OPEN MARKET COMMENTS FRIDAY – Trade What You See – Not What You Feel. My indicator is telling me the market will go higher....Fed Chairman Powell will speak at Jackson Hole at 10 am ET. The market is waiting for... |

09:31:00 Pete | My morning post was pretty much an article. My heart is telling me the market will go down, but 1OP is telling me we go higher. We are on a bullish 1OP D1 cross. I need to trust 1OP. It... |

09:36:00 Pete | Look but don't touch (unless you are taking overnight gains). There is no reason to take trades ahead of Powell. |
09:49:00 Pete | 1OP works for stocks short term and long term. I was just flipping charts and noticed an excellent bullish div. Compression at the upper end of the range during a big drop in 1OP. The next buy signal should be... |
10:00:00 Pete | After a stock or SPY goes thru a benign cycle, the next one is likely to produce. |
10:02:00 Pete | we have the bearish cycle and a nice long red candle. |
10:10:00 Pete | LOL. We hate it... sell, sell, sell. We love it... buy, buy , buy |
10:11:00 Pete | I hope the vast majority of you resisted temptation. |
10:12:00 Pete | I would like to see a benign 1OP bear cycle. That would get me bullish. we had nice strong buying late Thurs and the shock of negative statements will be over and buyers will return. |
10:29:00 Pete | This action reminds me of the Trump days. We are going to impose tariffs on China. Xi is a good guy, China has taken advantage of us, |
10:31:00 Pete | Up trendline broken H1 and looking more like a bear flag |
10:32:00 Pete | Hari nailed it yesterday. Love the comment regarding rally Thurs. Lure them in and slam the door. |
10:37:00 Pete | UVXY on a path higher |
10:43:00 Pete | What do you do here? If you have stocks with weakness, good to short. With /ES you have to take small size. As long as 1OP bearish and no compressed candles, stick with it. It is very hard to ride... |
10:55:00 Pete | Apart from one very long green candle, the price action is very bearish. If you have been patient... good for you. Here is the set-up we want. During this bullish cycle we want a very weak bounce with tiny overlapping... |
11:05:00 Pete | We are testing the low of the week. |
11:22:00 Pete | This move looks like it is destined for the 100-day MA. It won't get there today, but next week it should test it. Bounces are very brief and shallow. |
11:53:00 Pete | We have support starting to form here. 1OP has been flat, but we are about to get a small bullish cross here. Your mentality should be to take gains on shorts and to wait for a bounce. On that bounce,... |
12:32:00 Pete | 1OP does what it does. You would think that it would have some nice movement on a day like this, but it is flat as a pancake since that bear cross. People often say that they know how it is... |
12:34:00 Pete | I would like to see it move higher. If the market responds great, if not, that is ok too. I can interpret either, but when it is flat like this it is not of any use. |

12:44:00 Hariseldon | From the desk at GS: The number one incoming question this week: Was that dip enough? All clear to buy the dip (BTD)? It was not enough and is not clear. We are entering the worst seasonal period of the... |
12:48:00 Pete | Love that stuff. Especially the inflows and outflows. We want to follow the smart money and we can see those inflows in the daily chart. That is why all we need to do is to follow price. They can't get... |
14:33:00 Pete | This is likely to be a small bounce. This is a selling climax and we have a bullish 1OP cross. Nothing you would buy. Any decent bounce will set up some put lottos. |

14:39:00 Pete | That 1OP spike was so huge at the start of the day I had to zoom out to see it. Again, not suggesting you buy. Just want to make you aware of a chart pattern. We would all like a... |
14:48:00 Pete | Question: In the past post Fed meetings (I know Jackson Hole isn't the FOMC), you've said the real reaction is the day after the meeting. This morning, you posted an article saying you were bullish. After today's heavy selling, would... |
15:02:00 Pete | SPY D1. When you attack support or resistance, you want to do it with a full head of steam like this. I wrote about this in the Major moving average article. Same with trendlines. You want to obliterate it. Then... |
15:04:00 Pete | 1OP bear div and spike. bearish cross pending. A bounce would sure be nice even if it is a solo |
15:06:00 Pete | Never a good sign when SPY is at the top of IceCold search |
