Real Vision TV

By -

Grant Williams, who is an extraordinary writer, blogger, and thinker, was kind enough to invite me to coffee when he was visiting Palo Alto a few months ago. He told me about a new venture he was launching called Real Vision TV, which is now live and you can visit by clicking here. My shorthand way of describing it would be “ZeroHedge, televised”, but probably with a good dose less tin-foil-hat and lunatic comments. It’s unique, thought-provoking, and gaining a lot of momentum (plus, I’m honored that they wanted my own contributions with some charting videos). Be sure to check it out; it’s one of the coolest things to happen in finance media in ages……..(and they got a lot of attention with their recent Albert Edwards interview):

Important Support Test Here

By -

I posted the chart below on twitter last night to show that the channel support that I posted as a target on Monday morning was tested at the close. I was concerned by that test being on the low ticks of the day, and we’ll have to see whether that holds this morning. On my main scenario we see a strong bounce from that support into new highs, very possibly this week. If we were to see a hard break down then I’d be looking for a very possible gap under channel support at the open today and at the moment at least, that seems unlikely. SPX 5min chart:
