Shanghai Composite: The Tiger Leaps!

My last post, "Shanghai Composite: Crouching Tiger" suggested an impending breakout above 2700. Today, the Tiger took the leap on high volume (+ 3.13%). I have added some long positions with a stop just below 2700. The initial target of 2900 from my last post still stands, with a potential short-medium term target of 3100. Watch out for resistance from the descending trendline.

All the best!

Hang Seng: Expect Consolidation Here

Last post on the HSI suggested 23000 as the first stop, in this medium-term bullish breakout. We're there now, and also at the top of the channel as shown. Expect a back-test of the breakout here, or at least a sideways consolidation over the next few weeks, before any further upside. A sustained break above 23000 right now might turn it into a strong support level instead.

S&P500: Make or Break time!

In March this year, i suggested "Sell in May and go away", based on a 15-year SPX chart. In May, the SPX peaked at 1220 right on the dot as shown on this chart. Now, it's make-or-break time for the S&P500. It is up against downtrendline resistance joining the Oct07-May10 tops, and overbought. Just above is the long-term trendline(red) that stopped the SPX dead in its tracks in May. Which way is it gonna go?

The answer may lie in this daily chart below. SPX is currently also up against the blue upper channel line.

Considering seasonality, chances are it will turn here. But if it does zoom up above those trendlines, the correction may have ended at point A, and we may be reckoning with a wave 3 up here with a test of the highs looming.

Look for a impulsive decline below 1130, or a continued surge above the downtrendlines.

All the best!
