The charts are super interesting to look at. How quickly things turn, as if on a dime.

Retail Wrecks
One by one, retailers are blowing up. Don’t believe Kudlow or Mnuchin. They’re liars. The economy is heading into a cataclysmic recession.

Bitcoin Peak?
One of the great ironies of my charting recently has been my most sensational calls have been about something I’ve never traded in my life: cryptocurrencies. Maybe the objectivity of non-involvement helps.
In any case, back in March I made a bullish call on crypto, and they went up about 200% in the course of a couple of months. I’d like to suggest now, based on Fibonacci Retracement, that we’ve peaked. This is influenced, I confess, by my belief that cryptos have a very “niche” market in the future, and people seem to be under the delusion that buying cryptocurrencies is akin to investing in crypto-related corporate stock, which it isn’t.

Fudge Packard
We are a bit “off the lows” this morning, and I expect fight-back to be constant, but that’s OK. I’ve got my eyes on the long-term picture. And among many dozens of positions is this gem, Hewlett-Packard, whose stop-loss I have tightened up to 19.70.

Two Hundred
It’s a lovely setup. A two hundred point range, approximately, on the ES with failed support at 2800. Take away those 200 points, and you get the nice, round, psychologically-satisfying number of 2600. Given the former import of 2626, often cited here, it seems to me that figure is the one to keep in mind.
