I wonder if North Korea and China’s real plan for unification will, ultimately, see NOKO become another Province in China (while retaining its nuclear program) as an alternative to its alleged wish for a denuclearized unified Korean peninsula, with Kim Jong Un at its helm?
Just a thought.
And, instead of telling me that such a scenario would never happen, how about describing how it could?

Each candle on the following charts of the Dow 30, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000 Indices represents a period of one quarter of one year.
Buyers tested the waters above the highs of 2017, but were not able to hold those gains as they received little to no support to advance any further, and even gave up most of them, by the close of Q1 of 2018, with the exception of the NDX (which held above last year’s close).
Near-term resistance on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) sits at 2632.91 and support at 2585.68…formed by a one-day moving average (mid-point of candle high/low — input source is hl2) of the February 8 & 9 candles, as shown on the daily chart below.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post of the FAANGs, volatility is on the rise for all of them, including Netflix (NFLX).
The weekly chart below shows the confluence levels of two sets of Fibonacci retracements…around 273, 235, 210 and 174. These levels also intersect with the lines parallel to the median of the Andrew’s Pitchfork channel, and the median, itself.
A drop and hold below the first at 273, combined with an accelerating decline of the momentum indicator, may see a retest of 235, or lower. (more…)
You can see, at a glance (monthly charts below of FOXA, CMCSA and TWX), which media giants are leading or lagging each other overall…they are all at or below their respective major resistance levels.
The only one whose momentum indicator is above zero on this long-term timeframe is FOXA…if it plunges and falls below zero, no doubt the others will weaken further.
On the flip side, if FOXA breaks and holds above its prior swing high of 39.27, the others may gather strength, as well. (more…)
