Not going to work if market psychology breaks... keep an eye on the 200-day moving averages in SPX/INDU/NDX... they have survived four tests since the recovery from the late Dec. 2018 low. If they are sliced through with ease, it will signal a complete change in market character.

By the way, the charts still look very much like the 1928-1929 template and a variant of the 3 peaks & a domed house formation. I attach a chart I made a few months ago...

If it IS this formation, then we have just entered the crash window. Time to start counting days from the peak, and paying close attention when the bounce after the first wave down unfolds (the nature of the bounce will ideally tell us what outcome to expect).

should one choose to believe the numbers, and I do believe the numbers are the best as known by the top authorities (obviously the lower authorities would be suspect) and that the numbers are based on effective and plentiful test kits (? question mark, but small question mark), then the people's war has turned the corner, maybe, perhaps, possibly, time shall tell, in china

if that is all the virus can dish out, even as heck of a dress-rehearsal, the planet lucked out, however all eyes on teams elsewhere, S. Korea, Japan, Italy, and and and

and the virus best not be an annual event, because protracted debilitating war of endurance might take more than we have

Dispensing w/ the graphs & skipping the charts

In the last 24 hours:

China has got the disease increasingly under control. There were only 256 confirmed new cases.

But there were 275 in other parts of the world. The epicentre of the virus has now moved to South Korea (893 cases up from 763); Italy (231 cases from 157) and Japan (domestic infections which increased from 146 to 159).

Hong Kong had 7 new cases bringing the total 81. Singapore had 1 new case bringing the total 90 and Taiwan had 2 new cases raising the total to 30.

Among poorer countries Iran got worse with cases increasing from 43 to 61 with a total of 12 fatalities up from 8 yesterday. The Gulf States now have 22 cases with the disease spreading for the first time to Bahrain (2), Kuwait 5 and Oman (2).

The number of global cases is now 80150 – an increase of 531 in the last 24hrs. 275 of the increase was outside China (Mainland). China’s total confirmed cases are 77659.

Over the most recent 24hrs, fatalities increased globally from 2619 to 2701. China 71 new fatalities, S. Korea 2, Italy 4 and Iran 4. Another passenger from the Diamond Princess died in Japan. The fatality rate is now 3.4%

In the latest data, global recoveries rose by 2649 to 27672. The recovery rate is now 34.5% of all confirmed cases. The daily change in the number of cases that have recovered is nearly five times that of new infections. The number of active cases continued to fall by 1361 in the last 24hrs to 49777. It peaked at 58656 on Feb 18. 81.5% of active cases are considered mild and 18.5% are classified as in a severe condition.

On balance, the threat of a global pandemic is still real and present, but the locus is now outside China. We take the view there will not be a global pandemic. But the global fallout from the disease will be have longer term effects on the world and markets economy than is broadly anticipated.

Coronavirus UpdateCoronavirus Update:

According to this report, an article published in Antiviral Research concludes that CoVid-19 coronavirus ia found to contain unique “gain-of-function” property “for efficient spreading in the human population.”

Further, the science paper finds that there is no known viral ancestry to the CoVid-19 coronavirus, meaning it did not evolve from nature. It was engineered, and the science paper authors also state that the virus contains elements from MERS, stating, “Before the emergence of the 2019-nCoV, this important feature was not observed in the lineage b of betacoronaviruses.”

On Feb. 12, 2020, orders were sent to the U.S. Marine Corpsand Navydirecting “geographic combatant commanders to execute their pandemic plans in response to the NCOV outbreak.” The U.S. Marine Corps directive told combat commanders to “review, update and validate existing disease containment plans and policies in order to implement procedures for response, isolation, quarantine, restriction of movement and community-based intervention” and to “become familiar with authority to declare a public health emergency, restrict movement, quarantine and isolate [and[ coordinate with Federal, State, local, and military treatment facilities and public health emergency officials…” The U.S. Navy directive stated, “DoD will continue to follow CDC guidance and comply with local public health authorities during this outbreak.”
US military prepping for coronavirus pandemic–Esper directs Northern Command, geographic combatant commanders to initiate pandemic plans| 07 Feb 2020 | U.S. Northern Command is executing plans to prepare for a potential pandemic of the novel coronavirus, now called COVID19, according to Navy and Marine Corps service-wide messages issued this week. An executive order issued by the Joint Staff and approved by Defense Secretary Mark Esper this month directed Northern Command and geographic combatant commanders to initiate pandemic plans, which include ordering commanders to prepare for widespread outbreaks and confining service members with a history of travel to China. The Navy and Marine Corps messages, issued Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, reference an executive order directing U.S. Northern Command to implement the Department of Defense Global Campaign plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Diseases 3551-13.
Pentagon to extend availability of 4 military bases to help with coronavirus efforts – official| 15 Feb 2020 | The Pentagon on Saturday said it will extend the availability of four military installations to act as temporary housing through March 15 in an effort to help the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) manage the novel coronavirus, now known as COVID-19. Lt. Col. Chris Mitchell, a Defense Department spokesman, confirmed the move to Fox News and said the Pentagon will continue to assist HHS by providing support at the following installations: Travis Air Force Base, Calif.; Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas; Fort Carson, Colo., and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif. The Defense Department will also provide necessary equipment for passenger and cargo handling, a facility for briefing passengers, office space for 50 HHS personnel, equipment, bedding and linens, as available, Mitchell said.


Did coronavirus originate in Chinese government laboratory? Scientists believe killer disease may have begun in research facility 300 yards from Wuhan wet fish market–Beijing-sponsored South China University of Technology concludes that ‘the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan’ –WCDC is just 300 yards from the seafood market and is adjacent to the hospital| 16 Feb 2020 | Chinese scientists believe the deadly coronavirus may have started life in a research facility just 300 yards from the Wuhan fish market. A new bombshell paper from the Beijing-sponsored South China University of Technology says that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control (WHCDC) could have spawned the contagion in Hubei province. And as well as the WHCDC, the report suggests that the Wuhan Institute of Virology could also have leaked the virus, as has previously been reported by MailOnline… The report concludes that ‘the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.’


Hubei Doctors Warn of Even Deadlier Coronavirus Reinfection, Causing Sudden Heart Attacks–Meds for virus damage heart tissue| 15 Feb 2020 | Doctors working on the front lines of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak have told the Taiwan Timesthat it’s possible to become reinfected by the virus, leading to death from sudden heart failure in some cases. “It’s highly possible to get infected a second time. A few people recovered from the first time by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart tissue, and when they get it the second time, the antibody doesn’t help but makes it worse, and they die a sudden death from heart failure,” reads a message forwarded to Taiwan Timesfrom a relative of one of the doctors living in the United Kingdom. The source also said the virus has “outsmarted all of us,” as it can hide symptoms for up to 24 days. This assertion has been made independently elsewhere, with Chinese pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan saying the average incubation period is three days, but it can take as little as one day and up to 24 daysto develop symptoms. Also, the source said that false negative tests for the virus are fairly common. “It can fool the test kit – was there were cases that they found, the CT scan shows both lungs are fully infected but the test came back negative four times. The fifth test came back positive.” – Taiwan Times.


Trump furious Americans infected with coronavirus flew back to US without his permission – report| 22 Feb 2020 | President Trump was furious that 14 Americans infected with the coronavirus returned to the United States without his permission rather than remain in quarantine overseas, according to a new report. Trump had been briefed that the healthy U.S. passengers who spent weeks quarantined aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan would be allowed to fly home on two chartered planes — while those who were sick or infected would stay in Japan to prevent the spread of the deadly virus. The president became “furious” with senior advisers after learning the 14 Americans who tested positive had been put on a plane with healthy passengers, according to The Washington Post. One official told the paper that the failure to inform Trump of the decision in advance of the plane’s departure was a “big operational mistake.”


Trump was not told coronavirus-infected Americans would be flown home from cruise ship| 21 Feb 2020 | President Trump grew furious with senior advisers this week over a decision to allow 14 Americans who tested positive for coronavirus to return to the United States from Japan after being assured that infected patients would remain in quarantine overseas, according to administration officials. Trump and the administration’s coronavirus task force were told last Saturday that Americans who had spent weeks in quarantineaboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship where the virus had spread to hundreds of passengers would be brought home on two chartered planes — but that patients who had symptoms or the infection itself would stay in Japan. Trump was briefed on the decision and agreed that healthy passengers should not be on the plane with sick ones, three senior administration officials said. But the State Department [deep-state terrorists out to destroy the US economy] and a top U.S. health official ultimately decided to bring back the 14 Americans who tested positive for the virus on the planes and place them in isolation — without informing the president first.
