Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Nautilus Research (@NautilusCap). The S&P 500 printed a bullish hammer candle on the daily chart yesterday. Hammer candles are formed when price falls significantly after the open, only to claw back those losses and close at the upper end of its range. They often mark a trend reversal. Nautilus points out that the forward returns for the S&P 500 have been positive when these hammer reversals occur above the 1-year moving average. According to their data, six months later, the S&P 500 was higher 87.5% of the time for an average gain of 8.56%. You know what they say – you need a hammer to nail in a bottom!

Monday’s SPX intraday bounce came “precisely at its June highs (3230). For traders, that can be a level to trade against on the long side. However, we cannot rule out another leg down towards the 200 DMA at 3105.” @jkrinskypga pic.twitter.com/UaUbMRz6sQ

$SPX, daily
1. 'Former resistance acting as support' pattern. 3250 is the key pivot. I would go short only if SPX drops below this level.
2. 'Falling wedge' pattern. Usually bullish.
3. Bullish divergence on William %R indicator (as well as numerous other indicators). pic.twitter.com/QehsrFgaR0

The Dollar & Stocks have moved like a mirror image since March (updated from Aug 24).
As I said then: in a liquidity-driven market, the biggest risk could be any drop in liquidity triggering a USD rally.
Everything suggests the Dollar rally is just getting started. Stay nimble. pic.twitter.com/sadirp3Rop

Today's surprising stat:
The S&P 500 has risen 1% or more in 26% of trading days this year, the biggest %age for a year since at least 1950.
