Abandoned Babies and Dead Cats — No Time to Panic Sell

The S&P has fallen 800 points from its highs, but it's no time to panic sell. The correction is running out of steam, and we should bounce this week.

[Energy and Capital logo] Abandoned Babies and Dead Cats — No Time to Panic Sell [Christian DeHaemer Photo] By [Christian DeHaemer]( Written Jan 25, 2022 About seven weeks ago, on December 7, 2021, I put out an alert with the subject line “I Hate to Say This, But…” Here's what I wrote: This is the most ominous chart I’ve seen in years: [SPX Gravestone Doji Chart] This is a five-year monthly candlestick chart of the SPX. The SPX is based on the 500 top companies in the United States. Each candlestick represents a month. The chart goes back to 2017. That red candlestick from two months ago (October) that looks like an upside-down hammer is called a “gravestone doji.” I went on to explain the chart and ended with: We are 12 years into this heated bull market. A 700–1,000-point drop on the S&P 500 could happen over the next few months. I’ve been telling my [Launchpad Trader]( readers to take profits, banking short-term gains like 93% in Encore Wire Corp (NASDAQ: WIRE) and 90% in Asana Inc. (NYSE: ASAN). I’m making the call. It's time to change your mindset from “buy the dips” to “sell the rips.” No one ever went broke taking a profit. You can read the whole thing [here](. Doctors Just Made a Shocking Discovery About the Aging Process... Take a look at these mice: Looking at the frail, decrepit mouse on the left, you would think that it’s years older than the sharp, healthy mouse on the right. But believe it or not... These mice are the exact same age. See, scientists were able to actually REVERSE its aging process by using one simple trick... And the good news is, ANYONE can use this simple trick. It could lead to a sharper memory, a boatload of invigorating energy, and a slimmer body. [Learn more about the secret behind this anti-aging trick.]( It turns out I was absolutely correct with that bearish call from early December and you were correct to take some money off the table. The S&P has fallen 800 points from its highs, but it's no time to panic sell. The correction is running out of steam, and we should bounce this week. Here’s Why First of all, this has been a tech sell-off, with riskier stocks taking the biggest hits. But the blue chips have been knocked around as well. Microsoft fell from $349 to $282, and Apple dropped from $182 to $157. And those are the market leaders. Everyone owns them in some fund, 401(k), or ETF. But here’s the thing: Both of these companies are reporting earnings this week. Microsoft in particular should do well. It's beaten expectations each of the last four quarters, and its business — so far, anyway — has been immune to supply chain issues, inflation, and COVID lockdowns. Apple gets a lot of money from services these days, and those numbers should be up because of the new COVID economy. Of course, we won’t know until the reports are out. However, the real reason I expect a bounce is because the charts tell me so. Groundbreaking New Treatment Stops COVID Dead in Its Tracks (Not a Vaccine) A new nasal spray has the power to stop COVID-19 symptoms within just seven days.And the small biotech firm behind this new COVID treatment could skyrocket within the next 12 months — especially if it gets fast-track approval. This is the breakthrough treatment we’ve been waiting for to end the pandemic. And you definitely don’t want to miss out. [Let me show you more about how to retire wealthy off the “COVID killer.”]( An Abandoned Baby The Nasdaq yesterday showed an “abandoned baby" doji, or at least the first part of it. If the market closes up today, higher than the close yesterday, we will have a clear turnaround signal. Generally, you can expect the market to bounce back 50%. In this case, the QQQ fell from $390 to $344. The initial bounce would put it back at $367 or so. That red cross-looking candlestick at the end is called an “abandoned baby.” It has a gap down followed by a gap up. [QQQ Abandoned Baby Doji Chart] Furthermore, candlestick charts tend to run in three–five-unit series. We are now down five days in a row, which means we are due for a reversal to the mean. And you'll note the massive volume spike from the last trading session. Bottoms are formed when all the sellers sell. A big down day with corresponding large volume is called a capitulation low. So if you're looking to panic sell, don't. At least not yet. It's always a good idea to wait for the dead cat to bounce.
