Today's Video Update: Is the high price of crude oil going to torpedo the equity markets?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 19th of July.

One piece of financial news that doesn't seem to generate a lot of press is the high price of crude oil. The price of crude oil has been sneaking up for the past month and is now fast approaching $110 a barrel. That equates to a 15% price hike for anyone driving or using any kind of products that use petroleum, like plastics, paint, roof shingles, cosmetics, tires, asphalt and many many more products that we use on a daily basis.

It is interesting to note that the Fed does not include energy or food items in its inflation index.

The question has to be asked, "is the high price of crude oil going to torpedo the equity markets?"

At the moment, it would appear as though the markets are ignoring crude oil prices and focusing on earnings. If the high price of crude oil continues, I would expect it will eventually catch the eyes of smart traders and could act as a catalyst for a market break. At the moment the torpedoes are in there tubes waiting to be fired.

With a target zone of $110 per barrel for crude, I see no reason to abandon long positions and want to hold firm for longer term traders. This market could be a classic weekend play. Watch today's video and I'll explain why.

Detroit Goes Belly Up And Gold Goes Nowhere
Despite the news that the fourth largest city in the US just declared Chapter 9 bankruptcy, gold prices barely moved. In fact, gold has been moribund for the last four weeks with all our Trade Triangles still in a bear mode.

Today's Video Update: Apple Is Officially Moving Sideways

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 15th of July.

Every July, it gets very hot and humid here in Maryland and the markets seem to be following suit. The energy markets and the equity markets are hot right now and all in strong upward trends.

One thing to note today is that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is now officially moving sideways according to the new weekly Trade Triangle. This is in contrast to the strong downward trend we have seen in this stock from the $700 level. What does this mean? Well, it could mean that we are in the early stages of a double bottom base being put in place in this once-high-flying stock that institutional investors love. If that is true and we see a new piece of technology coming out of Apple (like a smart watch?), Apple could easily rally back to the $550 level. The key level to watch here is the $466 level. If that level is taken out, then it could be off to the races for Apple.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 12th of July.

With record high closes in the DOW and the S&P 500 yesterday, this is not the time to be short the main indices going into this weekend. I will be using our 52-week high strategy to catch a quick move and you can see the rules on how to play in today's video.

The DOW triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/10/13 at 15,340.09 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

The S&P 500 triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/10/13 at 1,654.19 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

The NASDAQ triggered a Green Weekly Trade Triangle on 7/8/13 at 3,488.31 signaling a resumption of the uptrend.

On Monday, our weekly (intermediate trend) Trade Triangle kicked in and gave a resumption of trend buy signal for the NASDAQ index. The signal came in at 3,488.31 confirming that both the intermediate and longer-term trends are now in unison, signaling a move to the upside.

Today's Video Update: Clear Cut Trends Are Emerging

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 9th of July.

NASDAQ Flashes A Buy Signal
On Monday, our weekly (intermediate trend) Trade Triangle kicked in and gave a buy signal for the NASDAQ index. The signal came in at 3,488.31, confirming that both the intermediate and longer-term trends are now in unison signaling a move to the upside. The NASDAQ could be a precursor of trends to come on both the DOW and the S&P 500, only time will tell.

Crude Oil Takes A Breather
Do not be fooled by this momentary pause in the price of crude oil, with the trend clearly established to the upside, I am looking for new highs in this market. With a target zone of $110 per barrel for crude, I see no reason to abandon long positions and want to hold firm for longer term traders. A close in the August contract over $103.50 this week will represent a new high close and a continuation of the uptrend. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Clear Cut Trends Are Emerging" →
