Technical Commentary:

QQQ +2.19%, SPY +1.80%, IWM +1.55%, DIA +1.53%,

Stocks reversed course as futures gain Monday night and continue higher on Tuesday.  SPX and SPY found buyers on Monday near their 200% S&R measuring target from Friday’s break of support and rallied big on Tuesday.  VIX continued to fall on Tuesday confirming the SPX bounce.

A large number of MACD histogram divergence bounces and setups occurred today.  See our list below.

Friday’s volume looked like capitulation selling as we previously wrote and today’s bounce just reinforces that view.  Monday dropped on lower volume which appears to be a liquidity premium, “you want out today?  Okay it’s going to cost an extra percent.”  Those who sold out on Monday, not only sold low but also lost today’s bounce back.

We wrote Monday evening, “If Monday’s support lows hold and price bounces, we should look for entries according to our rules.”  We hope you took advantage of the bounce today.

On Friday 39 SPX stocks rose, today 31 SPX fell and 469 rose.  In addition to the energy stocks listed next, SPX gainers included NRG, FCX, PVH, OI, C, CMA, AYI, FSLR, SPLS, AGN, UA, BAC, WHR, MS, UA, NWL and WY.

Oil rallied on Tuesday after bouncing from on similar low, from June 16, on Monday gained over 3% today.  Energy rebounded big on Tuesday with eleven stocks among the top 25 SPX gainers:  SWN, MPC, MRO, COG, MUR, DVN, NFX, CHK, XEC, RRC, HES

After just three NDX stocks rising on Friday, Tuesday was the inverse with just three stocks falling ILMN, DLTR and MNST.  Tuesday’s NDX leaders included ENDP, LBTYA, STX, BMRN, MU, AAL, INCY, CTRP, GILD, VOD, WDC, STX, AVGO, SWKS, NTES, AKAM, FB, ADI, MAT, TMUS, NFLX and PYPL.   

PAYX and MU have earnings on Thursday.

Brexit Selling Day 2...SPX, SPY Finds Buyers Near Friday's Support Break Price Target..Futures Gain After-hours...

Eight of nine sectors moved lower on Monday …XLU, XLP and XLV were the strongest sectors while XLB was the weakest sector.  Oil futures fell -.96 to close at 46.61.

Breadth strengthened slightly as decliners led 2,495 to 584 on the NYSE and led 2,251 to 379 on the NASDAQ.

Technical Commentary:

DIA -1.47%, SPY -1.74%, QQQ -1.98%, IWM -3.43%,

The winners were bonds TLT +2.50%, utilities XLU +0.83% and gold GLD +0.53%. The losers were stocks and volatility VIX -15.68%.  VIX failed to confirm Monday’s lower move suggesting that the selloff may be near support.

Monday’s SPY volume dropped 33% from Friday’s level which looked like capitulation selling.  Monday’s volume shows less selling which is a sign that stock is shifting from weak hands to strong hands.

Futures are up in after-hours, another indication that selling may be waning and buyers are returning.

If Monday’s support lows hold and price bounces, we should look for entries according to our rules.

Both SPX and SPY found buyers on Monday near their 200% S&R measuring target from Friday’s break of support.

Technical Commentary:

DIA -3.36%, IWM -3.66%, SPY -3.64%, QQQ -4.12%,

The big losers on Thursday night and Friday were equities with SP futures dropping to a low of 1,199 overnight before closing on Friday at 2,018.25; the British pound which dropped to a 30 year low over Thursday night before closing at 1.3677; and David Cameron, the British prime minister that called for the non-binding referendum to shore up support in his Conservative party, because he thought stay in the EU would win.  A bold political move that totally backfired.

The winners were volatility VIX +49.33%, gold GLD +4.91%, and bonds TLT +2.68%.  Yes, not everything goes down on a big down day. 

Three NDX stocks as three retailers ORLY, ROST and WFM gained on Friday.  Other NDX retailers DLTR, COST, BBBY and ULTA were lower on Friday but much stronger than the NDX -4.07%.

Thirty-nine SPX stocks rose on Friday including NEM, HRL, ED, O, CMS, DTE, ES, XEL, KR, ORLY, VTR, AWK, SCG, MO, AEP, AZO, RAI, HSY, WEC, PCG, PNW, EIX, CME, RTN, AEE, LLY NI, DG, CLX, DUK, WM, CCI, HCP, TSN, D SO and PSA.  ORLY, ROST and WFM are also in the SPX.

Watch if support holds or not next week.  If support holds that tells us that institutions are using lower price level to accumulate stock much like they did in August, October and February.  If support holds and bounces, we should look for entries according to our rules.

If support does not hold, look for price to drop to the next level of support.

Technical analysis based trades should be closed before earnings.

After the Close...Brexit Vote Sends World Markets Tumbling...Gold, Volatility and Bonds Higher...

After-hours Alert:  What was known about the Brexit vote before it happened was that to stay in the EU was status quo and certainty, to leave the EU was uncertainty and with that uncertainty increased volatility.  Brexit wins 51.89% versus to stay 48.11% and world markets dropped amid the uncertainty of what it really means.

S&P futures dropped more than 100 points, VX volatility futures jumped more than10 points, GC gold futures jumped more than $100 and ZB bonds jumped more than 7 points.

While nothing other than market reactions changes immediately, the UK now moves into the process of negotiating the terms of the exit with the EU which will evolve over the next few months leading to a process that may take up to two years to complete.

Clearly Thursday’s strong positive market action suggests that the net institutional conclusion was the vote would be to stay in the EU.  The conclusion was wrong.  Market action discounts everything and as it became clear that Brexit was winning markets discounted the surprise vote results by sending stock and futures prices lower and volatility, gold and bonds higher.

Markets generally sell off until prices get to a level that investors and traders are attracted to buy by what they consider bargain prices as they did on Monday, August 24, 2015.  Now we will wait to see at what levels buyers take advantage of lower prices.

All nine sectors moved higher on Thursday …XLF, XLE and XLB were the strongest sectors while was the weakest sector.  Oil futures rose 1.13 to close at 50.13.
