Video summary
On September 15th, Basel Chapman stepped in as the host of the Tom O'Brien Show to deliver a technical analysis of major indices and commodities amidst a volatile market environment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a steady decline of 368 points to settle at 52,056, while the S&P 500 dropped 35 points to 75.84, displaying negative moving averages despite holding key lows. Although weekly charts remained positive, monthly indicators suggested vulnerability near support levels established in late July. Crude oil reached a recovery high with strong technical signals, though consolidation around the 97-95 range was considered possible, whereas the QQQ faced resistance after hitting an all-time high. The broader market sentiment was mixed, with financials showing divergence as the S&P peaked while the XLF sector failed to follow, and regional banks correcting sharply after round-number highs.
Market weakness was further highlighted by specific technical patterns and sector rotations that signaled potential downside risks. Chapman identified a "lowercase H" pattern evolving into a double top formation in the Dow, Goldman Sachs, and heating oil, which could lead to further declines if left-side lows are breached. The Russell 2000 failed to extend its rally after reaching an all-time high, indicating underlying fragility, while cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin tested critical support near their 200-day moving average following a peak that had since retreated. Sector analysis revealed significant rotation issues, with hospitality giants like Marriott and Hilton declining from their highs, waste management stocks dropping nearly 17%, and real estate struggling despite some stability in utility companies. Heating oil's new high suggested a potentially difficult winter, while silver continued to exhibit weakness within a concerning technical pattern that had not yet closed below its September low.
Looking ahead, the outlook remained cautious due to upcoming election uncertainty in October and November, which Chapman predicted would create a choppy trading environment with numerous cross-currents preventing immediate new highs. Strategic positioning involved raising cash levels and maintaining short positions on the Dow and IWM while monitoring specific stocks held lower for potential opportunities. Key observation windows were identified for Thursday morning between 10:00 and 11:00, as well as Friday afternoon at 12:00, where a Dow close below 51,000 or a failure of the SMH sector to stay above 556 would signal negative action. Conversely, holding Bitcoin-related assets above 2580 by Thursday morning and keeping the SMH sector above its critical level could trigger positive bounces, though the overall expectation remained one of consolidation rather than a sustained rally leading up to the election. The segment concluded with promotions for TFN newsletters offering risk-free market analysis and a reminder to tune in for the next daily show starting at 9:00 AM.

Hey Robin, how you doing man?
>> Yeah, good and thank you for taking my
call. I wanted to let you know that I've
been a subscriber for a couple of years,
just different members of your team and
I really enjoy it. But really the reason
I'm calling is to express my sincerest
gratitude for you providing that
information yesterday on a small
business grant. I'm a small business
owner, primary bread winner for my
family. And if I can get that money,
it's going to really mean a lot to my
family. So that's awesome. Thank you for
uh taking the time to do that.
>> No. Well, listen man, we appreciate you
growling and prowl with us. Now, Tom
O'Brien.
>> Hi everyone. Basel Chappen here. I do
the 10 to 11:00 Tiger Technicians hour
every day here at TFN. And I also have
the newsletter called the opening call,
a daily newsletter, very comprehensive.
Let's just go to the market right now.
The Dow's down 368 at 52,056.
I'm sitting in for Tommy O'Brien in the
Tom O'Brien show.
You can see how quickly we went from the
51,600s
right up to the 54,744
level on the 5th of August. Um, and look
how long we've taken to come down. So
using time is really important because
it means that the uh the kind of
acceleration you sometimes get in a sell
off where the Dow is down a,000 or 1,200
points every day and it just keeps going
down. We haven't seen that at all. It's
just been a steady drip drip drip to the
downside. And that support that 51,542
that will goes back to around about the
21st or so of July.
That's going to be key. So I'll talk
about what we can and we might
anticipate tomorrow. But in the
meantime, let me show you the weekly
chart. That green 9 period moving
average way over the 14 says to go
negative. And look how nice this is.
When it goes positive, it flips to green
like it did right there. And that was
April, the week of the 24th stayed green
and now it's still green, but you've got
the the um 9 period exponential moving
average turning down and the 14 period
moving average was flattening and now
it's just slightly turning down. So it's
not negative yet. So there's no real
sell signal in the weekly chart of the
down the monthly chart is still looking
great in leg bees. Hard to believe under
these conditions. I just need to flip uh
to different things while I'm speaking
about this because everything is
related. Look, you got crude oil at a
recovery high. It's up 4.14. This is a
continuous contract at 105.53.
We're looking at this and saying this is
really quite something. I I don't want
to go through this is for technical
Friday where I do chap wave technicals.
Every day I do talk about some of them,
but I'll go through this later on. This
is a trap wave overlapping wave goes to
D then pulls back to the left side lift.
But look what happened. This is an
instant restart and it's continued right
up through leg E. The 914 fabulous. The
MACD fabulous relative strength strong
but it has just pulled back a little bit
from the two days of slight weakness
that we had right at the at the recent
highs. Stochastic flat at 88%. That's
what you want to see when something is
looking very positive. And the onbalance
volume says, "Oh, getting a little bit
overbought." But that's just a a signal
to say, "I'm not giving you time. I'm
just saying you're getting overbought."
Look at the weekly chart.
It's done a whole bunch. It went to a
peak. D in the shave methodology. We're
always looking at that fourth highest
peak. Peak A is the first, B is the
second, three, uh, C is the third, and
fourth is D. It can go higher to E, FNG,
but D is the object of going from a buy
signal to a buy mode. Upgrade. It says
you should go to at least a D. Well,
under that you've got these A's that
keep when they keep failing, the A
stays, but it becomes really an A minus
if it takes out the low. Well, look at
this. This is peak A, another A, and now
it's gone to a leg B under the previous
high. So, that just says that if there
was to be another high right there, and
that would be the high of the week of
the 13th of March, which is at 108.82.
If it goes to 108.83, it's a continuous
contract. So, I'm talking about the
current price. That becomes E/B
and then you see an E in the monthly
chart. So, all I'm saying is that I
don't see anything technically here.
Even the stochcastic in the weekly has
finally got to 80%. I don't see anything
that says uhoh, crude oil is coming back
to 92 or 88. Just at this particular
moment, it looks like it's still holding
very well. If it pulls back, it could be
just a sideways move that goes to maybe
the 97, even 95 area, but that could be
another base to move higher. I'm just
saying these are the possibilities. Now,
I need to go through this real quickly.
S&P right now, the S&P, this is the
cash,
a big red candle, made a lower low than
4 days ago. So it's in a leg after to
the downside at minus 35 at 75.84.
Look the nine period moving average
negative. The MACD moving average
convergence the red and green lines
negative. Uh the relative strength this
little gray line right there negative
stochcastic 21% very negative. Onbalance
volume look at that. There is no volume
even though it keeps coming down. Now I
know some people use volume. I use
unbalanced volume. I do have volume
inside here. you can see it but to these
these vertical lines but I really use
the onbalance volume because all the
years it's really been a wonderful bell
weather for certain turns in the market
but look at this peak see in the weekly
chart five weeks sideways action to down
high lower highs lower lows but it
hasn't broken down and the monthly chart
is in leg D's where other things can
happen but so far it's holding well so
all I can say is this has been a a high
level digestive consolidation
Look at the QQQ makes an alltime high.
Now this is faster than June the 3rd.
Look, there we go. Scroll across. June
the 3rd, it goes to 748.65.
And since then, this champ wave inside
track repellent zone has just constantly
repelled the the price. Now, I need to
just show you something here. You see
this
uh let me show it to you. You see this
weekly chart? You see this arch and then
another arch? So I have a technique that
I call there are three patterns we look
at straight line up straight line down
that's one cup formation that's two arch
formation that's three or a mix of one
and two or one and three this is one and
three where it rallies it comes down
sharply then it rallies and it fails at
a peak A or B and it comes down if it
doesn't take out the left side low it
could have a bounce and then that lower
H becomes a lowercase M and at that
point if it takes out the left side low
you got to be careful Well, we've just
done the H. Okay. Now, let me get back
to the chart right here. Let me just
draw this in. I got to get this all done
very quickly. One. So, here's one H.
It's a big larger arch formation. Here's
another one. And what do we see? Look,
it's the same pattern that we saw in the
Dow.
The lowercase H became a lowerase M and
then it took it out. And the rule of
thumb is if it closes sharply below the
left side base, you can get a one to one
to the downside. That's kind of what
we've got. So you've got to be care.
Wait, what the chart did I look at
today? Was it Goldman Sachs? Yeah,
Goldman Sachs just did the same thing.
Left side arch. This is the H pattern,
right? Left side arch next to second
arch. And now it's taken out that left
side low. It looks like the 540 uh 949
200 period moving average target is
right there. So, we're watching this one
closely. Oh, we ran out of time. That
was a very quick segment, wasn't it? So,
I do want to just show you this as we go
to the break. Look at the um yield. This
is the ultra short M20 T bond. Look at
that. We did a one to one to the upside.
What's going to happen tomorrow? We'll
talk about that when we share Basel
Chapman sitting for Tommy O'Brien. This
is the Tommy O'Brien show. Dow is down
uh 379.

Hi folks, Basel Chapman here, this is
the Tom O'Brien show. I'm sitting with
Tommy. This is usually where Tommy would
interview me. And let me just what I'm
going to do is let me just show you
this. First of all, this is my
newsletter right here. The opening call.
Let me just put it over there. So, the
opening call subscriber webinar. Uh I
had a webinar that was uh on uh July the
28th in where I discussed all of these
things that we were topping out that I I
I saw the semiconductors topping out
that we were rotating and it was came to
be a very interesting and choppy couple
of months coming up and uh we try to put
our the positions that we have already
based on a lot of what we had discussed
in the um in the webinar and every every
Friday afternoon at um after the market
closes, I send out um a video. It's
usually an hour, hour and a half. It's
really like a webinar. I just haven't
had time to put a webinar together, but
it's like a webinar and I discuss the
techniques. I discuss what we're looking
at, why we're looking at it, etc. So, if
you're interested, check out front page
of TFN and it's my open the opening call
subscriber. Um and you'll you'll see
that right there. Okay, let me get rid
of this. Whoops. What did I just do?
Okay, got it. Okay. So, there are a
couple of things that I need to do right
now. So, as I'm discussing uh some
positions and and stuff that we have for
the opening call subscribers, I I'll do
this. I just wanted to finish this.
Look, there's a one to one. Look at that
one to one perfect uh in the TBT. My
contention has been for a long time. You
remember some of you might remember when
I came to TFN uh back in 2002 2003
I'd already written a paper that was
published in a book that was by the
Harvard uh psych psych psychiatric
medical center because they had a very
big conference Abby Cohen a whole bunch
of these people famous people were there
I was invited to come I had written this
uh the pretty big article that was
originally for Baronss um what's her
name Katherine and Gallagher.
Uh anyway, she had asked me and my
partner at the time to to write this and
we did, but Barry, it was just so
optimistic. It was 1998
or so. It was just so optimistic that
they refused to do it. Anyway, in it, I
discussed this this mega bull market
that I anticipated. But besides that,
let me just get to the point here. And
the point is that within the markets
themselves, yields, look, yields are
there, but it's not, look, we we've been
here before. Look, we've been here many
times before. This is not a big deal.
This is the yield, the TBT, the ultrash
short Leman 20th Treasury bond ETF. It's
really what what is said. Well, what if
there's a sudden surprise? What if there
is? Look, the the yields themselves are
saying it doesn't matter what the Fed
says, we're already moving higher. Okay.
So, what the Fed says might just be a
clarification of what they're doing. So,
I don't see this as the end of the
world. What I do see is that crude oil
and every day there's something new
that's in the crude oil market that is
making it less and less likely that
crude oil can suddenly slide 15 20 bucks
at at least very short term. That to me
is an issue because it affects
everything. I mean, food just you name
it. Transportation, the works. So to me
that is really an issue. So this
climbing right here and you could be
getting a cup and a handle and this one
of my least favorite patterns because it
often fails but not so when I'm looking
at the crude oil contract because the
crude oil contract says um I don't see
anything
that would have crude oil just plunge.
Oh, we could consolidate, sure, but I
don't see. So, to me, okay, that's an
issue. Now, the reason why we went short
the Dow and I'm going to get to I had a
question about uh uh some the in the in
the Bitcoin area. If I look at certain
stocks, I will. But the reason why we
went short is that the the Dow in a
monthly chart is still really positive.
In the weekly charts at a peak C,
remember Pak D is your objective. And
once you go buy mode and we're in a buy
mode so we could pull back but at this
particular point it looks to me like
over couple of weeks where's the
election election is right there. All
right that right there that that line
that you're looking at look how quickly
we go through five six weeks. All right
so anything can happen. So I'm looking
at this and I'm saying all right the
Dow's at a decent pullback is actually
holding well the onbalance volume saying
you know what we're kind of close to
some kind of a bounce. You might don't
have to get it. I'm just saying
technically the stochcastic at 90 19%. I
like it more at a single digits rather
than 19, but it's getting to a point
where uh it could have a bounce. The
MACD is just horrible. It's going to
take a lot for that MACD to get positive
again. And the 914, the same thing. So,
I see the Dow as being very vulnerable.
So, we have been short. The IWM, the
Russell 2000, not a good-look chart. It
was doing very well. is one of the only
charts that I can see in historically
that has gone to an all-time high where
the um there is a chance look uh 30
302.72 on the 12th on the 1st of July
and then it makes a slightly higher
high. Let's just say there was a G.
Well, there's never an H. So, there's no
other way. I have to count that as a B.
This is a one of the first failures.
We've seen the Dow occasionally at a PC
C fail uh at an all-time high, but it
very quickly gets back to the D. This is
a failure and that just says to me that
it is invulnerable reason why we shorted
be the TZA three time short um is
because I just see this as being highly
vulnerable and the sectors that would be
involved in this particular phase with
the higher rates etc is very important.
Okay, so that's that. Now I've been
talking about the XLF. The XLF is the
financials. Look at this. I always look
for round numbers. I've been looking at
round numbers since before the crash of
1987. So, it's a big deal for me. Look
at this. To have a composite index, S&P
Select Financial Spider Fund make a
round number at his high of 58.60. That
day, the open was 58.00.
That was the 3rd of July. I'm watching
this closely. Why? I've been showing
this chart for a long time. I will spend
too much time on it. I'll do that. I'll
do that in my show tomorrow. I'll show
it again at 10:00, but this is the S&P.
This is a monthly chart. It's just a bar
chart. Pink for the S&P. Uh blue for the
financials. And I made a big deal about
this chart right here that uh if I can
do this, maybe it's better that way.
That
right now you can see it better. So,
what I said was
uh Oh, I can't move it. All right. I
want you right here. There was this big
divergence where the XLF failed to make
a new high while the S&P did. Look at
this chart. You can see every almost to
to the month every single peak and
trough coincided. It's the most
beautiful chart. What an example of of
parallelism XLF and the SPY monthly
chart and all of a sudden you got that
divergence. Well, all of a sudden what
do we have? We have the spy now making a
peak last month and the X enough this
month has gone to a higher high. There's
another divergence. So I talk about
that. That's one of the things to me
that's very important. The other thing
is when the financials come down,
usually it's because rates have come
down. Uh when rates go high, it really
benefits the banks. So I'm watching this
very closely. If you look at the KRE,
this is the regional bank index. The S&P
regional bank index made a high a double
top 7835 on the 4th of August and then
it retested couple of weeks later at
78.24. These double tops are dynamic. I
can't tell you how many double tops have
said oh be careful. It's almost like a
round number at a high and look what
happened. They pulled back sharply. So
there's a divergence between the
regionals and the the big the big the
heavies. Um that's Bank of America. Look
at this. JP Morgan.
JP Morgan makes a round number the day
it made the day after it made his
alltime high. 366.60 on the 15th of
August. Made a round number 365 open and
whoosh. The day it went down to 343. It
doesn't sound like much, but for JP
Morgan, this is the longest correction
it's had in quite a while. I'll be back
in a moment with Mrs. Basel. Tim or will
not be with us today. I'll be continuing
with this and I'll go to the Bitcoin and
I will show you something very
interesting. Just reach down 359 of
chapter sitting for Tommy O'Brien.
Many trading newsletters attempt to
focus on a narrow set of equities or
commodities. While this works for some,
it often times misses many opportunities
that possess huge gain potential. But
how is an independent trader supposed to
scan the entire market looking for these
hidden opportunities? One simple answer,
the opening call newsletter. Basil
Chapman, developer of the Chapman wave
trading methodology, has been trading
markets for longer than most trading
influencers have been alive. And over
that time, he has honed his methodology
in order to accurately call movements in
a wide range of equities, from
semiconductors to uranium to key indices
and so much more. Basil is old school,
taking the time to educate the trader
while also giving his insights into key
indices, selective stocks, and more.
Opening call subscribers also receive
access to dozens of educational live
streams that can be accessed at any time
for your edification. All firsttime
subscribers receive a 30-day money back

Hi folks, Battle Champing for Tommy
O'Brien. This is the Tom O'Brien show.
So I thought I'd just continue this. So
I had questions about uh the Bitcoin
area. So Bitcoin itself is down 3170
3,170 at 75,995.
Made a peak E in the CH methodology at
82,515
the other day. We've been long for a
little while and we've been taking some
money off, but I'm watching closely. I
said we'll watch it today. Um because
the weekly chart is holding okay but the
um daily chart doesn't seem to find it
has some strength yesterday. This
weakness needs to be monitored. The nine
you can see the nine is still positive
over the 14 and the 200 period moving
average. Remember I are we talking about
the 200 period moving. I put it in the
charts. I don't have to use it until I
have to use it. Do I have to use it
here? Not at all. This is the first time
it's got back to the 200 period moving
average since oh I don't go back since
for months right so that makes it
important it's like a magnet and it says
to me it could pull back but the 77,800
level uh that is the 200 period moving
average should become a magnet so that
if it goes down it'll retest that and
that'll be the big test whether it's
going to break it above to go to the
7850 5,000 area 78,500
area or whether it starts to pull back.
Today's low is uh 74,925.
If it gets into this candle right here
to the bottom of this candle, the 21st
of August, which is at 73,30,
sounds like a long way to go, but these
things move very quickly. That means
it's now in a stalling formation and I
can see it coming back even more. This
is a very important moment. So, let's
just look at the question was what about
coin? So, CO I N
um now this is a particular pattern. You
see it almost is the same pattern as the
Bitcoin except it's under the 200 period
moving average. So, it's struggling in
the daily. The weekly chart is way
worse. So, it's it's not a very
good-look chart. This one I think is a
little bit more vulnerable. So that if
today's low of 18 oh 184 round number
high today um let me just check and yeah
181 low on the day that it made that
peak E high at the 200 period moving
average. So all I can say is um the low
today is 168.07. So make it as simple as
possible. If this closes above 184 it
has to be within two sessions. If it
closes above 184, that is really good
action and it says, "Oh, we should
retackle the 194 200 period moving
average again. But if it closes um this
is not a chap Roman candle, the the
body's too thick." But I can just say in
the meantime, if it closes under 171,
man says that weekly chart. Now you see
this weekly chart. You see the keep your
eye in the middle chart, the weekly
chart. Look at this chart right here.
You see it actually went to the 200. The
the MACD is good. The stochcastics fed
83%. This is the weekly chart. 914 is
good. This has a little bit more
strength. And I've been saying that for
a while. I was asked about Bitcoin. I
said Bitcoin to me is the better one. If
you're looking at Ethereum, look,
Ethereum um has this chart. It doesn't
have the veracity, but it's it's not
holding it badly. This is still pretty
good. But it's they're all doing the
same sort of thing. This is over the 200
period moving average, which gives us
support. So So to me, uh, CON I I'll
just give you the parameters because
right now the technicals are mixed,
but the 914 is still good and it's very
close to the 200 per moving average. So
that should be like a magnet. And the
next question was CRCL.
So this is Circle Internet Group built
infrastructure for digital money and
blockchain products. This is a little
different. The daily chart has got this
arching over and it made um a red candle
today at 87.81. It's down 9.61. It's
down almost 10%. And the weekly chart uh
this is a bit of a struggle. So let me
just give you parameters at the low
today is 84.80
by Friday if this takes out you see that
arch formation has taken out the left
side low if this closes under 84.20 20.
I think that's a problem. That is a
problem. If by Friday instead of closing
down, it's actually had a good Wednesday
and Thursday it goes into this candle
here and it's able to get above. So,
this is on both all of them are on the
cusp. 9775.
They haven't broken down, but the weekly
charts are the ones that I'm really
watching. I need to see the weekly
charts improve, otherwise they're just
going to stall in this market. You can
see you have good action and then it
just stalls. So that so let me talk
about that. Now next thing I wanted to
just mention was gold. Look the GDX
talking about the chart the weekly
chart. Look GDX look how high this
consolidation is with the 9 period
moving average over the 14 and the MACD
is good stochcastics okay at 81%. Look
at the gold itself.
That is not a particularly good look the
9 period moving average couldn't even go
positive. It's deflected lower and look
at the daily chart. So there's a big
difference. The gold stocks have been
holding. Look, we own a AMG agnica eagle
taken nice profits got in quite a lot
lower in the 180 area and it went to
224. I don't see any round numbers in
the gold stock. So that says to me,
okay, maybe that's a good thing. The
weekly chart still is holding well. So
it's the individual stocks that you got
to be uh monitoring because overall if I
just base it, look, silver, the same
thing. You look at silver silver chart.
Look, that weekly chart is really
pathetic. The daily chart has had a big
pullback from where the peak D uh went
to peak AB. This is the dreaded H
pattern. Remember we were talking about
Oh, was I talking about it? I'll talk
about it now. In this particular
pattern,
the H can become an M. Oh, I did. Yeah.
The lowerase H can become an M. A
lowerase M. Well, we did the H. It fell
at a peak B. That's really what happens
in the um dreaded H pattern. And we've
been, look, from that low,
we haven't yet closed below this low,
even though we've had three candles
below it. That's the low of the 2nd of
September of 68.8
63.88.
Um, I'm watching this closely. So,
silver has been kind of weak. Uh, we do
have a silver solder way down. It's done
very nicely. We haven't added to it. Had
a very good run and now it's doing some
some digesting. gold star gold positions
we've had still nice and AEM I'm
watching it very closely agna eagle so
um within that context I just wanted to
put that into rel relation to positions
we have in the opening call daily news
there now here's another thing within
the context of what we're looking at
here let me go through this
uh
yeah so
within the context text of
the rotation. Look, we have we have
Iran.
So, this is an this is Iran limited.
It's the next generation data centers,
renewable energy, GPUs, everything. And
it's held well from our 22 entry point.
We took money off on the way to the 73
high and it's been stuck. And then all
of a sudden has a big move like this.
There's another one that we had. You
never know. It looked terrible just the
other day. Look at this. This is cyber
security doing very nicely today. I'll
be back in a moment. Dow's down 372. S&P
is down 41. We'll be right back. If

>> Tom O'Brien.
>> Hi folks, Buzz Trap singing the Tommy
O'Brien. This is the Tom O'Brien show
and we're looking at this particular
show. This is the 10-minute chart of the
E- Mini. This is December contract. So,
look at this. It it it made a low around
about 420 this morning and then it had
this peak A peak B CDE E F and then it
turned down and in the in the uh in the
D and was it my show? Yeah. During my
show I said uhoh if I'm correct making
this trough after peak D which is what I
usually do a midpoint there should be
bar symmetry. I don't know if we can
come back down, but there's the if it
does, 7645, the low that was at 420 this
morning would be a target. And we
watched it and it came down. This is the
CH wave inside wedge dash pink target
support line and lo and behold, bam,
look what it did. It went right there.
Went just a tad under it and then it
started to rally. Well, what was the
pattern that I was just talking to you
about? the lowercase H there become a
can become a lowercase M. Well, this is
exactly and look at the price time at
that says by what is the time right now?
Uh 3:43 in the next not this 10 minutes
by the next 10-minute bar there could be
a retest of this low which is 7641 uh
4350. I don't know if it'll happen but
anyway that's the technique that I like
to to show demonstrate. Um, sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't, but that's
the technique. All right, let's just get
back to the questions here. So, I had a
question about um, so I showed you
rubric. So, all of a sudden, heck, this
is the cyber security ETF. Uh, finds
signs.
It was looking terrible just three
sessions ago. Look at that. And then two
sessions. And that's what's happened to
this market so often. So, you see this
is a PC.
If this goes this particular move up
which is in great leg C goes through the
left side high of 121.97
in this move that becomes not a C it
takes over that because you're going
alphabetically from the highest letter
and then it becomes a D that would be
very positive and becomes an F in the
weekly chart that's amplify cyber
security and look at that monthly chart.
So what I wanted to point out is that
this is a rotational
digesting market. If you look at
Marriott,
Marriott, I've always I've had a couple
of stocks that I always use and I say
this is telling us a lot about the
market. Well, Marriott made its high uh
let me see if I've got it written down.
Yeah, 410.98
on the
uh 410.98
on the 15th of June.
And um it had was it that the day
before?
No. Then it just came down from 41098 to
where it is right now. 335. But if I
remember it was Hilton. Let me just see.
Is it Hilton
or Hyatt?
No, I think it's Hilton. Hilton HLT.
And this is part of the economy. This is
telling us that for some time now the um
the resorts hotels have been pretty weak
and it had a 358 round number to the
penny exact high on the 12 on the first
of on the 20th of January. I wrote that
wrong. 20 of 2026, the beginning of this
year, a peak D in the monthly chart,
peak G in the weekly chart. And if you
look at this, you look at syntax, I
always look at these things because it's
telling us about the look, lowerase H
goes to a lowerase M and we're going to
see whether or not um it takes that out.
But look, it made a high of 219 island
reversal high um right there in uh in
July and it started to pull back. So I'm
looking at this and I'm saying, you
know, you can make higher interest
rates, but there are a lot of things
that are are really um that are core to
look this is WA waste management. This
is the cities that you have waste
management, right? just made a high of
247.15
uh back in July and it's trading right
now 217. That's what is about a 16 or
17% decline. So I'm looking at this and
I'm saying
you can raise interest rates and there
are a lot of reasons but mostly I I I
might be wrong because I'm not an
economist but really isn't it crude oil
and look at heating oil. Look at this.
Heating oil made a new high today. Not
an all-time high because that goes back
quite a way, but the heating oil has
gone straight. Look at that monthly
chart. This is going to be a tough
winter. So, I'm looking at this and I'm
saying, okay, there are a lot of things
if they raise rates, it could have quite
an unsettling effect for a little a
little while. But is there a reason to
raise rates? Well, it depends on how you
look at it. If you're looking at um H,
look at this dollar HGX.
This is the real estate market. Hey,
October of a year ago at 837.8.
It's been struggling. It's not really
failing. Well, unless of course you look
at the daily chart, but look, it's come
down straight down. I mean, that's a big
deal, right? So, um even the last high,
look at this from the last high. So if
you look at Toll Brothers, so I'm not
sure just what they're going to
accomplish. Look, there's the lowerase H
that goes to a lowerase M and then has
yet another one and then it takes out
the lows and it's come down sharply.
This is Toll Brothers. I always look at
these. I didn't see any round numbers
there. So as a sector, I didn't get
anything. Uh mistake the very day after
it made its all-time high of one. Oh,
no. It wasn't the alltime high of the
most recent high of 163.43.
The next
166.23
on the 26th of June. The next day it has
a round number. Boy, these round
numbers. No, it had a round number 164
open and a round number 165 um 0. Uh
does that um high? Oh, and look at this.
is now trading at 134. Um, yeah,
these round numbers really, they they
tell an incredible story. So, with that
said, I don't know quite what's going to
be accomplished by higher rates. Um, the
market either way could have a big shaky
day tomorrow and Thursday and it may be
settled down. As I see it, this is not
the issue. The issue is that I think
investors are going to be really nervous
about certainly October going into the
November election. I just don't I I
think it's going to get so ugly that
people are just going to step aside.
What if it gets so ugly that people
don't actually show up to vote?
Well, I don't know about that. But
meantime, I think this is a very choppy
market coming up. It's been choppy. I
think it's going to get choppy year. Now
have a look at this.
Negative, negative, negative. No, wait a
minute. Telephone, beautiful move today.
AT&T, we've been talking about this for
my subscribers. I've been showing it for
a couple of weeks now. Holding
beautifully, holding the 9 period moving
average even on that sharp pullback.
It's at 26.77 of 26 right now. The
weekly chart. Oh, I'm afraid to do this,
but I will do it because I always do
this. When I see a move like this, I
say, "Hey, this could be the rectangle."
Now, I've had webinars in the rectangle
formation. What it says is from if you
go straight down, and this went trough
A, trough B, trough
C, trough D, and then it started to move
up. If it starts to make higher highs
and higher lows, it could very well get
back to close to just under or right on
the previous high, just above. And then
there's a whole bunch of techniques that
you look at for a pullback. So this is
20 uh 2678
right now. The previous high was just
just above 29. I'm wondering look at VZ.
This is a Verizon. So you can talk
negative as much as you want. There's
always something moving up. Verizon very
nice. A new high. I'll be back in a
moment. B Chapman D 374.

Folks, as we wrap up this one, as I said
for my subscribers, we've raised cash.
We've been very cautious. We've got
certain stocks that are still holding
well because we've got them quite a bit
lower, but at the same time, uh, we we
we we're monitoring and we we are short,
as I said, the Dow and the, uh, IWM, and
we'll be monitoring it. It wouldn't be a
bad idea to take a little money off
tomorrow again because anything can
happen. Now, let me just quickly do
this. BMR, which is um in the Bitcoin
area,
it had a round number low, yes, 23
today. I'll make it simple. If it goes
under 23, 2241 is the key 200 per moving
average support. And if it by Thursday
morning in my show, 10:00 to 11, that's
going to be really important looking at
the market. If it's above 2580, that's a
good sign. All right, let me just
explain what I'm looking at. So, it's
not so much what happens going into the
close tomorrow because that's just
hysteria based on student. It's Thursday
morning at about 10:00, but certainly
1020 with the new arrivals coming, the
more mature players in the game. Um, if
the Dow has taken out 51,000,
uh, that's very negative action. But if
it starts to rally, it's going to be
very important that it holds the rally
into Friday at 12. And I'm saying that
for the Dow, the S&P, everything. Most
importantly, the SMHs. Look, they are
holding so far quite well even though
they've been since June is the second
going to the third month um of uh
consolidation and there's the H2M
pattern. So if at any point by Friday
afternoon the same SMHes are below 537
that is not good action at all. If it's
above 556, I'd say, hey, save the day.
You can have a bounce. But I still think
we got a really choppy period coming up
at least close to the to to the
election. I I just don't see any
positive that says, oh, new highs
coming. I don't see that right now. It's
just there's just too many crossurrens.
But I also see that a chunk of
consolidation has already been done. So
with that said, check out my opening
call daily newsletter. I will see you
tomorrow at Tommy starts off at 9:00
with his uh morning market uh kickoff
and I will be in at 10:00. Have a
wonderful evening and we'll see 24 hours
time we'll know.
