Banking System’s ‘Old Maid’

October 1, 2025 By in Banking, Daniela Cambone, DIA, DIA-25-05, Ed Dowd, Financial Sector, KBE, KBE-25-01, Positions, SOXX, SOXX-25-15, XLF, XLF-25-07 2 Comments

Where Is It?

As Ed Dowd says in this interview (time stamp: 19:16), somebody in the banking system’s holding The Old Maid.

As the overall markets continue to form what looks to be a top, maybe ‘the’ top, a process of (trade) iteration is occurring.

The objective is to determine which sector is the most vulnerable.

Short positions in the Dow and the SOXX have both been stopped out (not advice, not a recommendation).

With implosion of Tricolor Auto and now First Brands, the market itself is telling us, look at financial sector(s).

With that said, short positions have been opened in XLF, and KRE; both of which so far, are holding below their early session highs (not advice, not a recommendation).

Charts to follow.

UAL & Secret ‘Plans’

January 23, 2025 By in AAL, Airlines, DAL, Daniela Cambone, Ed Dowd, LUV, Positions, UAL, UAL-25-01, Wyckoff Tags: , , , ,

Was It ‘Manipulation?’

Looking at United Airlines (UAL), with the precise set-up, four-year wedge, measured move, the top, timed exactly at an earnings release, you have to ask yourself …

Was it all part of a (secret) plan?

Wyckoff Writes on Manipulation

Way back in 1910, Wyckoff wrote the following concerning manipulation (emphasis added, quote used with permission).

“Manipulators are giant traders, wearing seven-leagued boots. The trained ear can detect the steady ‘clump clump’ as they progress, and the footprints are recognized in the fluctuations and quantities of stock appearing on the tape.”

United Airlines UAL, Weekly

When looking at the chart, it all makes sense … it just took over four years to play out.

As the last update said, ‘what now?’

All three major (largest cap) airlines are currently (flat to) lower; DAL, UAL, LUV (11:02 a.m., EST).

American Airlines (AAL), lower as well; it’s down a whopping -10%, just today

What does that mean?

Here’s an interview with Ed Dowd, just posted.

All of the damage inflicted over the years, is not going to be wiped-out with the stroke of a pen (to borrow a comment).

With that, one of the hardest industries to make a profit even in good times, are the airlines. (not advice, not a recommendation).

The ‘Event Horizon’

September 16, 2023 By in $SPSIBI, CBDC, Daniela Cambone, Edward Dutton, Excess Deaths, LABD, Positions, SPBIO, Wyckoff, ZeroHedge 3 Comments

Set In Motion

Serious students of the markets discover quickly enough, price action has nothing to do with forecasts or fundamentals.

Once that mental hurdle is overcome, the market landscape takes on a whole new meaning.

Moving Parts, A-Plenty

At present, there’re a lot of moving parts but a few things are known: the on-going population collapse, the soon-to-be market and currency collapse (or severe de-basement), the possible ‘balkanization‘ of the U.S., just for starters.

Those wheels have already been set in motion.

Within that construct, are the market navigations (trading actions) presented on this site.

Biotech Has Spoken

At least for now, the bears are in control (not advice, not a recommendation).

The minor ‘spring’ set-up, materialized during Thursday’s session, just as this update said was likely.

It’s what happened next, that’s important.

On Friday, the set-up failed; showing the higher probability is for more downside.

Biotech SPBIO, Daily

Price action is posting lower.

The potential trading channel has been re-drawn with the grey lines; indicating the possibility for more aggressive downside action (not advice, not a recommendation).

Positioning

As can be inferred with these updates, I’ve already positioned short this sector via leveraged inverse fund LABD (not advice, not a recommendation).

The stop is Thursday’s high (SPBIO, 6,135.81) which corresponds to LABD 16.66 (interesting, that).
