Squawk Morning Briefing: It’s That Time Again.
Friday, once again, brings the BLS report. This is always a closely watched data series, and this is likely to remain the case as everyone tries to get a reading on whether the economy is merely pausing, or whether something more dire may be looming. We will be watching markets closely on the release of […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Powerless
David is without power today and Kevin is filling in with a combined briefing for the DJIA and YM. The Euro has invalidated the prior triangle count possibility, but in a way that is consistent with comments on Friday so we will let those comments stand until David’s storm impact is mitigated.
Squawk Morning Briefing: Hurricane Coming
It seems that the market is expecting a category 4 press conference at 10:00a EDT today. It just doesn’t know where it will strike. We’ll be watching keenly to see whether bulls or bears are scrambling for safety once it hits. Or maybe it will weaken offshore and be a dud. Sometimes it happens.
In other […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Waiting on Jackson Hole
Markets seem paused awaiting any signal from The Fed on Friday. As always, we care more about the reaction to any announcement than the actual announcement itself. Short-term wave counts remain conflicted about market direction and we’ll look to see if any movement on Friday creates an actionable pattern. In the mean time, today’s briefing […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Late Briefing
After yesterday’s early briefing, we’re following today with a late briefing. While David was able to keep track of markets from the jury pool yesterday, it wasn’t the same as watching tick by tick. Today took a little longer than usual to analyze and prepare the type of analysis we prefer.
Like sticking one’s head in […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Early Update Today
This morning’s update is coming a bit earlier than usual as David is off to Jury duty today. Kevin’s videos were recorded late Monday night and David’s were recorded early Tuesday morning. Both contain our outlook for the day.
Yesterday’s webinar was recorded and will be available later in the week. Once it is available we […]

Squawk Morning Briefing: The Big Question
The big question on our minds is the degree of fourth wave that likely completed last week. This would also tell us what degree of fifth wave we’re in now. We discussed this some in last night’s webinar and we seem to harp on it daily, because it is the single most important factor affecting […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Fibonacci Webinar
Prices continue to move in-line with our basic expectation. At the moment that means a break of the August 9th lows. However, the short-term is murkier in the cash equity indexes. It may be prudent to pay more attention to the possible futures counts for the time being. Of course, options expiration can be crazy, […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Tough Situations
Higher inflation and fewer jobs combine for a difficult situation for policymakers to manage, yet that’s exactly what reports out at 8:30 EDT told us. The news came out after our videos were recorded and sent markets down and it is likely that the weakness will hold through the open.
More weakness allows us to focus […]
