Weekly preview

Final squeeze up to finish fifth wave, MA200 daily/MA50 weekly were hit and we saw a reversal. The daily candles are not very convincing, but I think we have an impulse and the move lower has begun.
Market breadth is showing a lot of strength and we have strong right translated cycle so we should see shot living move lower(10 days) for 40 day cycle low. With such strength I expect sequence down/up/down 6-8 weeks to digest the vertical move up.

At the moment there is a few possible patterns quick sell off b/B and 1-2/C, more complex correction like flat/expanded flat b/B, or B is finished and wave C lower begins. I am in two minds whether we have a/B or B. On one side after such strength(breadth/cycles not price) we should see continuation higher. On the other side I see so many shares with finished zig-zag and theoretically another sell off should begin - for example EEM,SOX and shares from the tech sector... even BA(last chart) heavy weight blue chip showing so much strength. Despite that I will not be surprised seeing it smashed down 30% in the next 2-3 months.

There is no point to guess. We should just wait for the market to make it's next step, then we will have more information.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - I think we have impulse lower and the high should be tested with zig-zag. Then we should see some kind of down/up/down sequence for 20 week cycle low.


Intermediate term - MA200 hit and reversal, the histogram with divergence and RSI broke the trend line. Another rally higher looks unlikely. Probably the first leg lower will retrace 38% down to MA50 around 2600.


Long term - wave B running for IV from 2009. I am not sure if it is finished or there is one more leg higher.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - turned lower, but still buy signals and oscillators like A/D line and the McClellan Oscillator with divergences so we should see something lower, but short living.
McClellan Oscillator - double divergence and now close to the zero line.
McClellan Summation Index - buy signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - buy signal, but in overbought territory.
Bullish Percentage - buy signal.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - overbought level and turned lower.
Fear Indicator VIX - should move higher for a while.
Advance-Decline Issues - turned lower after divergence.


HURST CYCLES
Day 31, we should see the indexes moving lower roughly week and a half-two weeks for 40 day cycle low.


Week 7 for the 20 week cycle. Shorter 18 month cycles possible with 4 year cycle low this year, so we will keep an eye how fast the pattern develops.


Boeing - one of the strongest shares. Despite that very likely corrective pattern like many other shares. Look at RSI - ziga-zag lower and zig-zag higher. Crazy pattern nested expanded flat(wave B) in expanded flat A-B-C, but waves and Fibo measurements so far are showing text book expanded flat. What I am saying do not underestimate the probability that B is over.

  1. Thanks krasi! Is it possible a expandíng triangle for wave iv and now we are in wave D for a new all time high in 2019? I see C=161,8A and D zigzag with an objetive 161,8 of B. Thanks!!

  2. But if the wave B is finished, the wave C would finish too soon according to the hurst cycles.
    I think we have started a cycle of 9 months in December 2018. This cycle would increase until summer, which would be compatible with c/B

    1. Or as I have explained shorter cycles are possible and 4 year cycle low in May/June.
      Pattern is a pattern who can guarantee that December was 40 week cycle low?

    2. But then the wave C should be very fast because the wave B can not be the shortest in a flat wave.
      The wave C should finish in March

    3. What flat wit shortest B wave!?!? There is no flat if we see finished B now.

  3. Krasi, what do you think about crude and eur/usd?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Crude the same like the indexes now a-b-c higher,one more sell off and higher again.
      EUR/USD lower in the next few months and then higher about a year.

  4. Hello krasi! What if the sp500 makes a new high this week, does that invalidate the sell of thesis, and off we go to 2800 in short order? What are your thoughts? Thx!!!

    1. With very high probability c/B is already running. This explains why I see so many shares with mature B wave.... I wrote about this the weekend.
      I can not say if we will see another 50 points or not. I do not have high probability count.

      Delete
  5. Target for c/B is still 2900?

    Replies
    1. Only if we have 1/c/B... some are counting it this way, but when I look at the indicators and market breadth I doubt it will play out this way.

      Delete
  6. What way do you see it play out from here given the high probability that c/B is underway?

    1. Not sure at the moment... as I wrote waiting for the next move for move information.
      It looks like top to me... despite the new high we have just more divergences nothing else.

      Delete
  7. It seems the top will take place today or tomorrow around 2760 SPX and US-China talks will be the trigger. Currently in wave 4 of V from 8th February

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. From 8th February maybe, but from December it is very questionable. It is more likely corrective structure.

      Delete
    2. We are probably finishing impulse from December low. Wave 1 from 24 to 28 December, wave 2 to 03.01, wave 3 to 18.01, wave 4 to 23.01 and now the last wave. I'm living in one of the emerging markets country and my domestic index is already rolling over as less liquid. US will follow suit.

      Delete
    3. This looks more like a-b-c/B and not like impulse. The weakest wave is iii/3, which should be the strongest.
      The only reasonable impulse which I can count is if wave 1 was finished on the first day 25.12 and wave 3 on 05.02 with Fibo extension 2,618.

    1. This is a possibility... what bothers me this wave a/B is getting way too stretched.
      Not impossible, but than c/B should be weak.

    2. si, stanno spiazzando tutti , addirittura per caldaro questa potrebbe essere la 1 di 3 quindi da una probabilita del 80% che dopo un test sui 2550 si va' su nuovi massimi

      Delete

    3. Non penso che lasceremo abbassarli 2600

    4. Caldaro can not count waves, I do not know why the guy is "famous".... has not spotted a single correction always bullish with wrong impulses to the moon.

    5. non so' non usa elliott , ma qualcosa di simile , ha un modo di conteggio tutto suo non riesco a capirlo ne anche io , conta onde su onde, ma una cosa intellingente che fa' nei cambi di direzione tiene conte delle divergenze su rsi

  9. La correzione piatta

    Il vertice di onda B è quasi allo stesso livello come l’inizio dell’onda A.

    ReplyDelete
  10. For those who think we are in impulse, take a look at the corrective structure in 1937, after that the bottom fell out of the market

    2. It looks like impulse, but something stinks... I use RSI to confirm counts and it says NO this is NOT an impulse.

      Delete
    3. Whats strikes on this image is that 1 looks corrective (overlapping waves etc) and 2 looks like an impulse where it is actually vertical corrective ABC, similar to what we have now. Not saying this will play out the same, especially that CBs intervene at every inflection point since 2009 and I guess next big selloff will end up in rate cut (I wonder what the market reaction is going to be)

  11. How do you use RSI to count impulse?
    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. This is 1/UVXY where you can clearly see ABC with rsi confirming impulse in A and C. The RSI trendlines clearly show when each leg has finished

    2. RSI pattern and trend lines help to find the single waves. It is very helpful if you have shallow corrective waves b or 4 - on the price chart they are not well visible, but RSI shows them very clear. This way you can find the single waves which build a complete leg up or down.

      In the case of an impulse the usual behavior is overbought/oversold level->broken trend line-> retest with divergences. If we have very strong impulse iii/3 is the first overbought/oversold level and RSI oscillates between 50-70 for a while.

      If you use EW start watching RSI and with the time you will get the idea. It will help you make a decision which count is more likely and if it is right at all.

    1. Not an impulse is the opposite:) This does not mean go and short... just the odds that we are close to the top of the whole B wave are now higher.

  16. Your post on December 22nd...the long term chart. How about we follow that playbook?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That is what I am starting to think - we have the whole B wave. This weekend I explained why this is possible. With the higher high this week the odds are just increasing.
      As I wrote what bothers me is we have very strong market breadth and reversal and plunge is unlikely.

      Delete
  17. I think the odds are that we grind or rip higher...put another way, the stops lower in December are empty gaps higher in January, February and beyond - doesn't that make sense? there is no one else left to sell but the burnt out shorts who've been covering and reshorting on the way up...this is the easiest money to be made on the long side! and I'd like you to say fuck it, I'm covering my shorts and I'm not going to say anything until I've absorbed this shitty outcome over the next few days and I'm going to make an unbiased assessment this weekend. I think that's how anyone who's been short, gets smart... personally.

    1. Go back one year and see how many times we have the same herd thinking:
      January 2018 no one will sell DJ 30K - yeah sure.
      September 2018 SPX at least 3200/DJ 30K, it is so strong - yeah sure.
      December 2018 the bull market is over it will never go up - yeah sure.

      The fact that we have parabolic move means the correction is not over. The same bullshit over and over, for 8 weeks from "the world is over" to "just buy it" - I call this herd mentality.

      The only question is - is this a/B or the whole B. This is what I am trying to find out and not if will go down or not.

  19. This is what I see at the moment - https://imgur.com/a/frC5hxF
    NDX because the pattern is better visible.
    As I wrote RSI does not confirm one leg higher as impulse. We have two legs and this counts best for me. After the correction late January the waves higher look like zig-zags and it is confirmed from RSI.

    I went trough all the 30 DJIA shares and I do not see a single one with an impulse zig-zags every where.

    ReplyDelete
  20. On which basis , increased likelihood that Sep 18 was a major top?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I do not think it is a major top. We saw only zig-zag lower which confirms it.

    2. For current wave, why IWM is much stronger than QQQ? small cap is visibly stronger? Does it mean more upside potential in short term?

    3. No idea. You are thinking too complicated looking for some short term correlations.... just choose one index and follow the pattern.

    1. Wrong for couple of months!?!?
      Wrong in September explaining that 3200 even 3000 is fantasy.
      Wrong explaining that this is only correction and not the end of the world.
      Wrong about multi month retracement higher.

      What were all the experts with paid subscriptions predicting? I know what - garbage:)

      Yes, the speed surprised me and could not identify the b wave exactly, but I do not see the "experts" predict it either. After the fact are everybody so smart....

  22. This is happening for the third time for roughly a year and each time close to the top:)
