Dow futures – Peter Brandt

I bought the completion of a rectangle on Thursday – and did so with hesitation knowing how frustrated I have been buying strength (over and over and over again) during 2019. The possible inverted H&S pattern has an up-slanted neckline.

China A50 (SGX)

The monthly chart exhibits a possible 4-year ascending triangle. The daily chart is attempting to complete a continuation symmetrical triangle. Factor is long – note the small 2-week pennant on the daily graph (boxed). I have an interest in pyramiding this trade. A close above 13995 is needed to confirm the daily chart triangle.

DAX (Eurex)

The advance on Aug 30 completed a small, but well-defined, inverted H&S bottom. Factor is long. The Sep 3 low is my pivot for protection. I will look to jam stops if the market approaches the 12462 target.

DJIA (CBOT)

I view the weekly chart as a 17-month inverted H&S with a premature breakout in Jul.

TSM (NYSE)

Two weekly charts are shown to display the massive 17-month inverted continuation H&S pattern. The total- return chart is on the right. The prices on this chart include previous dividend payments. The chart on the left is ex-dividend (prices have been reduced by previous dividends). Factor is flat. I will buy a breakout.

Interesting Equity Markets

(This is an excerpt from the past weekend premium member report)

The cumulative A/D line for the S&P 500 remains close to a new high. I continue to view the S&P breadth to be positive for U.S. equities.

DJIA (CBOT)

The DJIA has been unable to make a new high for the past 18 months. This is also true for the S&P 500. My thinking is that a decisive new high by these two indexes confirmed by a new high in the S&P A/D is required to put the cyclic bull trend back on track. The Factor Tracking Account is long the micro Dow Index.

S&Ps (CME)

A decisive close above 3021 would be a breakout on the S&P chart. Such a close would establish a target of 3640. Factor is flat. I will buy S&Ps if it breaks out before Dow futures. I would not wait for 3021 before acting.
