Hey, Al, what's going on? Hi, it's been wonderful. This gentleman here with the Gold Report right before the market fell apart ended up with TAAF. We have a 98% gain in the year. And I mean, you want 99% proof like Irish whiskey, but we had a good game there. You always told us to do what we feel comfortable with. And if I lose a little bit of money on the table, I will. But I know that I just pocketed $8,000 or $9,000 in two weeks. That's a beautiful thing, man. Now, Tom O'Brien. OK, folks, this is Larry Pessemental setting in for Tom O'Brien. And I'm going to start the show by looking at the E-mini S&P. This is a daily chart going back to the 9th of October. Let's try that again, 9th of August. And here we are into the 24th of September. What we're looking at here, folks, is a perfectly symmetrical head and shoulders pattern. It has to be a perfect pattern in order to be a head and shoulders pattern. And by that, we mean your left shoulder and your right shoulder. The right shoulder must be lower than the left shoulder if you're bearish, the reverse if you're bullish. The distance between your left shoulder and the head and the head and the right shoulder has to be equal. That makes it a perfectly symmetrical head and shoulders pattern. That's what you base it on. This pattern was defined by many people, but it was proven mathematically by Dr. Andrew Lowe from MIT in his book, The Non-Random Walkdown Wall Street. And this is the pattern that he uses and the formula behind it. And that's what we use. So it is a perfectly symmetrical one. We made the 61% retracement in the E-mini S&P yesterday at 54.55. The high was the actual S&P. E-mini 618 number was 54.53, one and a half points. We then dropped 30 handles. And the $64 question is, if we close above 54.55 in the next 15 minutes, that will tell us this head and shoulders pattern not only did it not work, but it's going to lead to something probably very powerful on the upside, if that's the case. But we need to look at all of the indices because as funny as it may sound, every single index hit the exact price. We're going to look the next at the Dow Jones industrial average. This is the actual index itself. It is not the futures. The E-mini did exactly the same thing, but you'll notice the high yesterday at 34,873 was eight points higher than the exact Fibonacci number at 84, 6, 0, 84, excuse me, 34,864. So it was almost exactly spot on. From there, we broke 300 points and we've taken most of that back already today. And again, if we get above that level, that will mean what we're looking for coming here on Monday may not happen because it has to be everything lined up absolutely perfectly with no leeway on either side. Now, if we look at the NASDAQ, this is the NASDAQ 100, then you'll notice here as we look at this pattern, you'll see yesterday again, we hit the exact 61% retracement of the September 7th high. That came in at 15,361. The higher the day was 15,365, four points and something that's valued at 15,000. That is absolutely perfect. And as you can see, it's down only slightly today. And again, if it gets higher, that means that what we're looking for on Monday as far as a down day most probably will not happen. Now, if we look at the cash S&P market, the SPY, we'll take a look at this and you'll be able to see the same thing. We went right up to the 61% retracement. Right now we're up a little bit on the day, but we're not even close to that high that we made on Thursday. And that's the important one to look at. The last one we wanna look at, of course, will be the Russell and we'll bring this up to let you see it here. Russell has been in a weaker market, of course. You'll notice here that we've had lower highs here since June and actually since May, actually is when it's made as high, but we did make a perfect 61% retracement yesterday. We were still down on the day in the Russell. So this is another one that's lined up perfectly. Now, the reason why it has to be so perfectly goes back to history and some of the stuff that I've done and studied in the markets over the years. What I'm going to show you now is a chart of the S&P 500 as it existed in the large contract. This is not the many as long before the many. This is back in 1987. And if you'll see that red arrow, it's there. That red arrow points to October the second of 1987. The high that you see back here to the left of the arrow, the black arrow, that was August 25th, 1987, when we had a thing in the news it was called harmonic convergence. That's where we had five planets all lined up at zero degrees. That only happens once every eight or 9,000 years. And at that point, I thought we would be making a top in the market. And we did. And as you can see here, we broke down sharply from August into the middle of September. And then we had a very, very strong rally. And that's what we're going to talk about next because we're going to take this red arrow and we're going to blow it up over a chart that came out of my book, Astro Cycles, The Trader's Viewpoint. Sorry for the little plug in there, but there's no other way I can get around it. And if you want to buy the book, just email me larrypeseventosemail.com. Anyway, you'll notice the solar eclipse that had here in September of 1987. And then you see the mark when the far left corner folks up at the top, you'll see the Venus is actually trine Uranus. That means that high that you're seeing on that day, Tuesday, October the 2nd, the market was making a perfect 61% retracement. Now we were doing the same thing in the NASDAQ and we were doing the same thing in the Russell. And if you will remember that because it was absolutely perfect, that's the same thing that we have going on today. Yesterday was a Venus opposition, excuse me, Venus conjunction zero degree Uranus. That's at zero degrees, but it was set up exactly the same setup like we had in 1987. If that's the case, it means next week is going to be the start of something dramatic. And I don't know if it's gonna be bad or not. I view it as probably one of the best buying opportunities of the fall would be my guess because October is a month that you get to see a lot of lows. And so if you add the 17 days like we did in 1987, that will take you down to October the 8th, which is two weeks from today. So we're thinking based on what happened in the past. In fact, very few people will be looking at this because first of all, the astrology gets people scared, but there's nothing to be scared about folks. That Venus Uranus cycle goes around each planet 255 days of the year. If you divide 255, divide it by the number of days in a year, 365, it comes out to 0.618 of the year. So it is a Fibonacci cycle. And that's what we're seeing today. Just exactly like we saw in 1987. And we'll be right back after the words from our sponsor.

Okay, folks, this is Larry Passevino setting in for Tom Bobrien today. And what I'd like to do is to take a look at the most actively traded stock in the world or certainly one of the most. It is certainly the most widely held. This is the price of Apple. We're looking at it here at around 147 and change today. But the important thing to look at here is you'll notice that we topped just like the rest of the market back on September the 7th. The market went from 157 all the way down to $141 a share and over the last four trading days, all we've been able to do is rally back to the $147, $6, which takes it exactly to a 382 retracement of the move. The reason why 382 is important is it is you add 382 to .618 and that gives you to one and that tells you that's the smallest cycle that we look at. And if the market only goes to a 382 and then fails, that is extremely bearish and that is the possibility that we're looking at here at Apple. Now, this pattern would be broken should we see a price of 148. That would tell us the market has broken the 382 and it still has some more to go to the upside. But right now after a four day rally and only going to the 382, it doesn't look very good from a technical standpoint. And there's many things in the world that we hear in the news, not just the things that are going on in the South Texas and Mexican border and that kind of stuff, but things that are happening in China with them taking Bitcoin and making it illegal, that may or may last more than one day. The cryptos were down about 10% at one time. They've come back about half that way. So some of them are just shaking it off, but there is some news coming out and the market always reacts to the news, sometime the exact opposite of what you might think. Now, let's take a look at the most actively traded market in the world that every single one of us are evolving around this. And that is interest rates and the treasury notes. And the reason why the treasury note here is you'll look at this long-term weekly chart on the treasury notes. We have been in a bear market since August. Well, actually the high was made in February of 2020. And then it made another high in August and September. And if you'll remember, just think about it just a little bit. During that time, all we were hearing was negative interest rates, negative interest rates, negative interest rates. And as you can see, the notes went from 140 all the way down to 130. And folks for the market to do that for treasury notes is no small feat because this is the largest traded contract of any commodity that we trade. Open interest is close to 7 million compared to the E-mini S&P, which is about 2.4 million. Treasury bonds about three and a half million. Gold, maybe 800,000, so you can see how important this is. This is how they determine the interest rates on your credit card, your car loan, the mortgage on your house, and any other incidentals, things that you use or you use credit is based on how these treasury notes and treasury bonds are traded. But mainly treasury notes will determine the interest. The treasury bonds, which is the 30-year contract, that's used for investment purposes that they sell to foreign countries. In the past, Japan and China have been our largest purchasers of treasury bonds, but that has changed over the last few years. Now, if treasury notes are going to higher interest rates, that means that the bond market is also most probably going to higher interest rates. So what we're going to do now is we're going to take a look at the bond market just to show you what it looks like compared to the treasury notes. And it'll take me one second to get it up here, and then you'll be able to see it and we'll be able to talk about it a little bit. Here's the, we're gonna do the daily first. This is the December contract. And as you can see here, we are actually higher than the treasury notes at certain times, but we're starting to roll over right now. And as you can see, the last two days, we've had a big move down. That means the notes have gone up in interest rates and also treasury bonds have gone up in interest rates. That means the bonds are going lower. Folks, if they're going to pass this legislation for $3.45 trillion, whatever it happens to be, the only way that the United States government is able to pay for this is for them to print money. They go to the Federal Reserve for that. And what they do is they print treasury notes and treasury bonds, sell them back to the US Treasury. And then what happens is they're sold to the public and whatever interest rate can be gained to get rid of these bonds. So if you've got a lot of bonds to sell and you want some to buy them, the only way you're gonna get them sold is to entice them with the higher interest rates, i.e., lower bond prices. No one's talking about, at least in the United States and some other countries, that we're so far from zero interest rates that it's ridiculous because rates are going higher. So in order to sell a large quantity of bonds, you have to lower the treasury bond itself because when you lower the bond, that means the rate goes up and then you still get the capital on the bonds, not as much as you did before, but you still get them sold. And that's the problem. Now, you see that when you stop and think of the bond market, folks, being six to 10 times larger than the futures and the stock exchange bonds and the stock market. And I'm not talking about corporate bonds here. I'm talking about US Treasuries. The corporate bonds are in worse shape than the treasury bonds because people are out there searching for yield. They're begging for yield. Anything they can do to get a yield. That is contrary to what you should think of as an investor. Bernard Baruch, the great speculator who wrote his autobiography called My Own Story. In the 1930s, he was J.P. Morgan's, not only his personal friend, but a confidant that helped him determine what the relationships of some of these things should be with interest rates as they applied to the markets. And he was a genius at it. His, one of his, in his book, My Own Story, there were a couple quotes in there that have stayed with me my whole life. And number one is, don't be concerned on the return on your money. Be concerned on the return of your money. In other words, go to the best place where you can be sure to get your capital back. That's why people will buy you as treasury bonds and treasury notes because the government is never defaulted. Even though you might not get the same capital, in other words, if you buy a bond for, say, 160 and it goes down to 140, yes, you do get a higher interest rate, but your capital on that bond has lost 13 or 14%. And that's what you don't want to have happen. But the only way they can sell these, in my opinion, is to lower the price of the bond, i.e. higher interest rates. Speculators will see, ha, higher interest rate on a AAA bond, that tells me, yes, I can do that. But remember, these are 30 year bonds. No one knows where interest rates are gonna be 30 years from now. Just think where we were back in 1980. Those same bonds, folks that are trading today for 160, when I first started trading the bonds, when they became available in 1972, they were available, folks, at $65 per 100, per 100. That was a $10,000 bond you could buy for 6,500. That mean the interest rate on it was around 10 or 11%. Because inflation was 10 or 11%. Let's take a little break, 877-927-6648.

I have posted the long-term weekly chart of treasury bonds over the last four years. You can see the big top that was made several years ago. We had a big break, i.e., lower interest rates for a while. Then we had this consolidation, but the consolidation has taken its toll because we're only able to rally the bonds a very, very shallow amount, only a 38% retracement. And as you can see, this market is heading lower, i.e., higher bond, excuse me, lower bond prices, higher interest rates. That's the only way they're gonna be able to fund this stuff, folks, so get ready. It's gonna be accompanied with some transitory inflation along the way, but we're seeing massive deflation in certain things. Like we've seen a huge drop here in silver over the last five or six weeks. Gold has also been weak. And platinum has also been weak, and so has copper. These are not inflationary, but that's for the market to decide what's going to happen. Now, one of the questions that someone's posed to us today is to take a look, if we could, at the various fang stocks because they're so very important. The first one we're going to look at here is Netflix. And as you can see by that big red ABCD pattern that completed up there at 610, that completed a major pattern. And that means this stock should be topping out, which it has so far. We've gone from 615 all the way down to 570 and are able to rally back to $600, now trading at around 589. So that is still a bullish pattern, but it's showing signs that it's made a major top. And all we could be looking at now here is a little retracement. And we're seeing this in so many of these. That's one of the reasons why we want to be looking at it. Now, I'm going to bring up another chart and you're going to have to use your imagination here. Because if you'll remember the, when we talked about a hidden shoulders pattern with the S&P, the futures, now what we're going to be looking at here is Amazon. And if you will look at the middle of the chart there where it says made a first, you'll see where it says double top. And then you see the market make a high in July. And then a retracement back here on September 7th. That is a perfect symmetrical head and shoulders pattern. That's exactly what we're looking at in the E-mini S&P right now. Unless the highs of last night were taken out, then we have to reassess that this was not a head and shoulders pattern. But anything below 44, 55 in the E-mini S&P here in the next 25 minutes will tell us yes, that is a head and shoulders pattern. And we're most probably getting ready to go lower. Now, you'll notice with Amazon, it was the pattern came in at 3550, well, the market went, dropped 500 points. Well, that 500 point retracement was a perfect 61% retracement of the low that we made back on August the 31st, 23rd, excuse me, August 23rd. So that's how you try to fit these numbers together to match up what they're supposed to look like. But there's certain rules that have to be followed in technical analysis. If you're looking at a head and shoulders pattern, that must be symmetrical. Another, the distance between the shoulder and the head and the head and shoulder should be very close within 5%. And not only that, but if you're bearish, the right shoulder should be equal or lower than the left shoulder. If you're bullish, it's just the opposite. So let's take a couple of other ones to take a look at. We've already looked at Apple, that's already done. Let's take a look at Google because that has been the one that has been one of the strongest along with Microsoft. So we'll get up here and take a quick look at it. And we don't really see a major topping pattern here. The fact that we were able to make a correction, the one that we made here back on Monday was an exact 78% retracement of the low on the 23rd of April. And now what we've done is over the past month is we made three lower tops. So that's the first sign here that Google could be getting ready for a move to the downside. Because this is so important, I'm going to draw it in and let you look at it from a technical point of view. When you put the Fibonacci numbers in with it, you'll see that the high that we were making here, just the other day did not make a 61% retracement. That tells us that this market is actually weakening a little bit. Now, it might make it today because that number is 28,600. And we closed yesterday at 28,470, 47. So if Google is up just a little bit, it shouldn't get any higher than 2681. Here, we're going to let you do the homework. And as Jim 21 has always said, defy human nature, do the work yourself. Go check on the high of Google today and see if it made 28,61. If it did not, it's completed a retracement pattern. This one known as a 135, where we have three lower tops. And you notice it's selling at that level. You don't have to risk more than about $10 in a stock that's trading for 2800. That is a very, very small risk. Okay, now we're going to take a look at one of everybody loves this one. I don't particularly, because I don't trust anybody that has a car that has, that you can't hear. And that's the main thing that we're worried about here. If we take a quick look here, by the way, if you do have a question, folks, it's 877-927-6648. And Dan is telling us that the high today is 2855. Dan, we're looking for six points higher at 2861. And if we don't get any higher than that, it's worth a sale. Let's take a look now at the Tesla. You'll notice Tesla is taking out last week's high. We are also making a, just a little above the 61% retracement of that. So this could be a valid breakout here in Tesla at the 769 level. And if it stops at that point, that's where you have to be really careful because this market, even though it is going up strongly, it is a much weaker than market. Remember, it made its high way back on March 31st when we had the head and shoulders pattern that you can see on the left side there. There was another perfectly symmetrical, left shoulder, head, right shoulder. And that's where it sets. And what we're looking at right now is that same thing. Is this going to be a valid breakout? Well, I will tell you this, boys and girls, we are going to know that on Monday. And that's the key to watching it. So with this late in the day, with 20 minutes to go in the trading, my assumption is it's going to close right near the high. And that'll give us some breathing room coming in on Monday. Now, we're going to take a look here at Softy here, Microsoft, even though it's not a Fang stock, it's one of the largest, of course, in the index. And it affects the market as much as anything. And we'll take a little gander at it here if you'll give me one second. You know, bring it up here. I've just been informed by Al, our technician here at TFNN, that one line has just opened up. So if you hurry and call in and ask your question, you'll be able to do it because everybody else has been waiting around to get through and they've just not been able to do it. Now, here's a stock that everybody hears about on the news. It's almost impossible. It's more popular than Twitter. We'll be right back.

Hi, Larry. How are you? I'm very good. And your question is, what are the chances that a trading day can become a trending day? Not exactly. What I wanted to ask is, if you have any ways of determining when a day will be a trending day. Like we just had one yesterday, Thursday. Yes. And I would definitely trade differently if I knew it was going to be a trending day because I have a lot of reversal trades which you've ruined. I understand that. And I have the answer for you, Jeff. Do you have a pencil and paper handy? Because I'm going to give you the answer right now. Those of you that are listening might want to pay attention here. You could always tell a trending day by the end of the day. Jeff, the real key to this is, if you stop and watch the markets, most of the time, the market will open near the high or low of the day about 60 or 70% of the time. So if you're looking for a strong trending day, what you want to watch for is to watch for a very wide ranging bar, the first hour, far above the opening price. And that'll give you your first indication that yes, the trend is up. Then that usually means they've trapped a lot of the short sellers and they're trying to get out of it all day long. Now remember, you don't see strong trending days very often and really strong trends like we saw in the stock market over the past year and a half. We've had a lot of those days because the market has been so strong. But in general, if you did statistics over a period of 30 or 40 years, you'll notice that only about 15 or 20% of the time do you have a strong trending day. So if you follow technical analysis like we do and do a lot of mathematics on it, the first thing you want to look for is once the market opens and gets above that opening price because the opening price will be near the higher low of the day within a 10% band here, about 70% of the time. That's a huge advantage. Just look at what you're looking at today. Look at the low today in the Dow Jones, the S&P, the NASDAQ, they open right after the lows. Now the reason why is when they open and you have to do this if you're trading stocks or stock indices, you must use the 930 in the morning timeframe as your opening price. Between 930 and 10 o'clock Eastern time, that will give you your opening range point. And once you break above that, that gives you the first indication that, yes, this may be a strong trending day. And if it goes substantially above it in the first hour, the odds increase that it's going to be a strong trending day. Does that answer your question? That is a fantastic answer. Yes, it definitely does. I was a little confused though. I heard both the opening range of a half hour and one hour reach. Did you recommend one hour to you? No, what I usually do and when I wrote the book about this stuff, with John Hill, my mentor, what we did is we took the opening price, the exact tick that we see. This was years ago, but with the overnight trading, we don't get that anymore. But if you were to take the exact tick at 930, wherever the S&P ticks at 930 or Dow, whatever it is, that's your opening price. That's what you have to go by. But then you want to give it a half an hour because the opening, part of the day is amateur hour, Jeff, because people put their orders right in on the open and that's how, well, the brokers don't, meander the prices or scalp off of it anymore because electronic trading. But after the first half hour, you'll get an indication of what that opening usually is. Sometimes the first tick will be the low. Sometimes you might go down for the first five or six minutes and then go back up. But after the first 30 minutes, you're going to have a pretty good idea what that opening indication was. And that'll tell you whether that market's trending higher or lower. There's an old easy way to learn this, Jeff, and as if you'll just start checking it yourself, go look at stocks that are really active like Apple or things in the currency markets like the Euro, the pound, the end, the Swiss, you'll be able to see this over and over again. And it's not 100%. If you're looking for 100%, you've got to go into politics because I don't have anything that's even close to 100%. So you get anywhere near 70%. There's no baseball player that bats 700 and no golfer wins 70% of his tournament. So if you can get close to 60 or 70%, you're going to be just fine. Okay, excellent. Well, thank you very much. That was a very perfect answer. Just what I was looking for. Well, good. I just made it up, but I've made it up so many times in the past 45 years. I know it by heart. I've lived it so much that I know exactly what to look for. That doesn't mean that I see it every day, but most of the times it's easily pretty easy. This morning in the stocks, you could see that you had very negative news coming in from China and the market was due to be sharply lower. We were 25 handles lower in the S&P and what did it do? It opened only 15 handles lower and then away it went and went all the way up, rallied almost 40 handles. Went from 10 to 48 and it does very, very... Well, I haven't seen the last price on it, but it's going to be interesting. Regarding those prices that I talked about today, if they do get, if we make new highs, I'm just checking it right now. We're very close here. We're trading at 44.51. If we get above that 44.55 here in the next 12 minutes, that will tell us that by golly, this thing has broken the upside that we were possibly looking for. So we haven't seen that happen in some of the other things yet, but it certainly could, but we're not going to do it in the NAS... Well, we could do it in the NASDAQ. In fact, I think, no, we're a little bit away, but it's very close. It's going to close right on the high. Now, to be really bearish, I would have assumed that this would have occurred near the lows of the day coming into Sunday, but you're in a weekend, and you're in a not a holiday atmosphere, but it's certainly not the most active time of the year, which will start in October through November. It was one of the most active times of the year and half of December. So we'll watch it on Monday to see. The importance of Monday will be very, very important because if we take out those highs on Thursday, all of this bearishness has gone away and we're looking at probably a market that might go up and make another new high here. We could certainly do that because those numbers are very, very important and we have violated them. We have not violated them yet, but if we take out the highs on Thursday, we certainly would have. Okay. Well, I will be biting my nails all weekend. I used to have nails, but no, nothing to be nervous about. There's going to be another market. There's always another train coming down the tracks, Jeff. So remember that. You don't want to get, you want to love your wife and then trade your positions. Okay, great advice. I won't thank you very much. You bet. Thanks for calling in, Jeff. Certainly appreciate it. Very interesting question and those of us that trade very actively, we do watch that opening Christ. Extremely, extremely important. I want to check the Dow Jones industrial here, folks, because we are very, I believe we're very close to taking out the highs of the day. And if we do that with the Dow, doesn't mean that much to me because it's only 30 stocks. And I'm not, yes, oh my goodness, we are so close. We're within a heartbeat of doing that. The high we had yesterday was 34,749 and we're trading at 34,708 here with 10 minutes to go. So we could easily do that, but this is gonna be interesting if we do that. I'm going to put my alert on to let me know that we're going to have that hit. So we're not very far away from some of these things. So we will be paying very, very close attention to these.

Okay, we're back, folks. I wanted to, hold on one second. I want to be able to bring up a chart here that I think is the most important. Here's the game plan. This is the pattern that is very, very important. This is the S&P 500. We're seeing this in a lot of different things, but this is really a perfect head and shoulders pattern. Right now, we haven't taken out that high on Friday, but I'm expecting, in fact, I thought that it was going, because we were down 30 handles last night and then rallied up 40 handles. I would think that we were going to go lower, but as I usually guess wrong, I have to wait to revert to the charts. If we're strong on Sunday night or Monday, I will assume this pattern, well, it would have been breaking because it's perfect. I mean, it just can't be any better. So we cannot take out $44.55. And the last price I saw was $44.51. So remind ourselves of that. These patterns are mathematically proven by Dr. Andrew Lowe in his book of 650 pages. The nine random walk down Wall Street written in 2002. It's the reason why you see so many charts is because he proved that not only do they repeat, but they do have a great deal of predictability. And that's why they are so very important. But I wanted to share with you because we do commodities quite a bit here at TFNN. We've had a major bottom form here on natural gas this week. As you can see here on the 21st, we made this beautiful ABCD pattern on Monday. We went sideways for two days in consolidation and we've had a huge move of a rel over $4,500 yesterday and today because the market has regained its strength after being as high as $560 and dropping $4,000 all the way down to $470. So commodity markets are getting crazy, but that's what we like. If every day in an attitude of gratitude can be God bless.
