Weekly preview

We saw corrective moves this week as expected so I still think that ED is running and most likely we saw wave iii/5. Looking at Europe,Japan,EEM I see the same everywhere - iii/5/c/B. The markets are close to the top for this move up from the Dec.2018 low.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - wave iii for the ED. Confirmation for reversal is a move below 3130 - support and the trend line. MACD and RSI with divergences - this is a top.


Intermediate term - the trend line touched one more time. MACD and RSI with divergences. According to my EW count the index is completing impulse from the October low and most likely this is c/B... or c/y/B it does not matter much.


Long term - close to the top of wave B. When it is finished expect sell off to begin and to continue into Q2.2020. It will complete the correction which begun in January 2018. Alternate scenario a decline in three waves, but still a decline.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - short term turned up, but nothing bullish the same old multiple divergences. The indicators has not been reset to suggest important low.
McClellan Oscillator - above zero with divergences.
McClellan Summation Index - turned up with divergences.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - in the oversold area.
Bullish Percentage - turned up, multiple divergences.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - turned up, multiple divergences.
Fear Indicator VIX - higher lows and building divergences.
Advance-Decline Issues - in the middle of the range with divergences.


HURST CYCLES
Daily cycle trading - we have a cycle moving higher the price is above MA10 and RSI above MA18. For a short trade I want to see failed left translated cycle and RSI divergence.

Hurst cycles - the sine wave is 14 trading days long which corresponds to 20 day Hurst cycle. For the last several months it is running with pretty high accuracy. From the late August low you have 5 such cycles, from the October low 3 cycles. Neither bottoms is perfect for 80day/10w cycle low which needs 4x14 cycles. For now I will stick to my cycle count and I expect 20w cycle low the end of January(the arrow) with 8x14 cycles which corresponds to 2x80 daily cycles or one 20 week cycle.


Week 16, if we see a reversal next week I will stick to my cycle phasing, if we see continuation for another 1-2 or more weeks I have to change it to a 40w cycle low in October.


Tom Demark SEQUENTIAL AND COUNTDOWN - this technique spots areas of exhaustion.
Week 8 for the sell setup. If the next week closes above 3110 we will have finished sell setup and 9-13-9 sequence from the Dec.2018 low.

  1. Krasi, why not impulse for wave 5 instead of ED? You favor ED because of Fibs? The current strength from the start of this daily cycle makes me doubt it will be an ED. Also the rise in Oct looks more like the start of a new 40w cycle.

    1. I favor ED because we have two zig-zags higher... very well visible.

  2. Hi Krasi, I see many EW analysts say we are completing (iii). And we still have (iv) and (v) before this move from Dec 18 is over. What do you think of that?

  5. Hi Krasi, I truly appreciate your work and how generously you share it,but reviewing this year's posts I can't objectively agree with your method. I think you put way too much weight on what the market "should" do based on standard Elliot Wave theory.. constantly calling a top that never came. Anyone looking objectively at historic charts can notice periods of slow drifting without oscillations/waves, that cannot be predicted by EW while they happen, only to then be explained by EW with an arbitrary extension once they end. This is the huge limit of EW, a theory that is mostly subjective and almost impossible to backtest and study from a statistical standpoint.
    Please know this is not a criticism, but an opinion that I am giving to stimulate a discussion. I see that - sometimes - EW can be quite accurate and perhaps it can be used within a larger framework that can identify when it's less likely to work.
    As for the current market assessment I would be surprised if we immediately top: internals are quite good and the divergences you mention are minor. I also don't agree with the long term view. I think that most likely we'll keep drifting higher for a few more weeks, then we will see a corrective move for a few more weeks with a lower target between 2880 and 2980. After that I expect the bull market to resume quite strongly.
    This is based mostly on time tested econometric models that I follow as well as on my reading of sentiment. I think that trying to predict exactly moves in equities is extraordinary difficult, so believe me I am not accusing you of anything.. your attempt seems honest and thoughtful. But I do think EW is inherently interior to models that have a strong statistical and scientific foundation; this obviously applies to longer time frames. Hope this will trigger an interesting discussion that will improve our trading! Thanks

    1. EW is working fine, some can use it some can't. The most can't and of course EW does not work:)
      The biggest weakness of EW, it is not really weakness it is just how it is, is that corrections can take many different shapes and combinations and they are difficult to predict until you see most part of it.
      For example "periods of slow drifting without oscillations/waves, that cannot be predicted by EW" - you see EW failing. I have different perspective - I see very valuable information this is just a correction. This is the important information and not how exactly an index will churn and turn.

      Or take the current situation - in January 2018 two weeks after the correction has begun I wrote "by the time it is over, it would made me look like a fool many times". I wrote this because I know wave 4 a difficult to predict.
      You see failed EW, I see that I could not perfectly predict b wave of 4 which is not easy anyway, but this does change the pattern. I see the correction running for two years following the plan and it will continue. You think because some guy(me) messed up EW does not work and there is no correction and this is your mistake.
      Remember the perspective above - you do no see the forest for the trees. The correction is perfectly fine and running no matter if I was wrong for the exact path of this B wave.


      You do not like EW, I do not like "funnymentals". When I hear someone explaining me about economic models.... I can only laugh. This has zero trading value.
      EW is the only tool I know which can predict in advance that vertical move will reverse and retrace. All other tools are lagging.
      Humans are emotional creatures and they are not rational. All this models expect rational behavior and we have the opposite case irrational(emotional) behavior. This is what EW is about. That is why it is better than any "funnymentals".
      When you see the indexes 30% lower next year and you scratch your head what happened remember that EW predicted it and your models has not.

  6. I have mentioned that wave ii for the ED is too shallow... it bugs me all the time.
    I am starting to think that we have wave i and not iii of ED(white) like that - https://imgur.com/a/G9v84Fq

  7. I think it is ED from 23 october. Wave 2 was 62% of wave 1, and wave 3 62% of wave 1.
    Wave 2 is ok because wave 2 (of ED with wave 1 extended) are very very very fast (Neely`s theory) and that's why I think the ED is right.
    Now we must see the wave 4. It has to be around 38% of wave 3 and last the same as wave 2 or 62%.
    And then the wave 5 that can be truncated or be a triangle to burn time

  11. Well, I hoped to stimulate a good discussion and I am disappointed that my models are "funny" while yours are so scientifically sound. Elliot Wave cannot even be backtested: why do you think it's superior to models that use sound statistical methodologies? I will keep using my models and I will definitely let you know if and when they turn south. I am sure that if equities don't drop 30% next year you will find a way to explain why your EW analysis was correct anyway. That's fine I guess, but not intellectually honest; exactly like it is not intellectually honest for you to pretend things went as predicted this year. Unfortunately I find many practitioners of EW to have something in common: they are not humble. I won't fail to give you credit next year if you turn out to be right. I hope to find the same level of honesty if you turn out to be wrong after so blatantly dismissing my work.

  20. If august was 40w cycle low and sp goes down of 2820 for 20w cycle low in January, does it mean that the next 20w cycle can not make new ATH?, Because we will be already in the decline of the 40w cycle

    1. It does not matter August or October the pattern is almost completed and then multi month decline will follow.

    2. ok, but I follow counts of other indexes and there is a possibility of a last ATH before the big move down.
      I like to have all the possibilities planned
      that's why I would like to know about the cycles.
      if sp moves down below 2820 it is already impossible to see new ATH according to the cycles

      Delete
    3. All indexes are showing 5 waves higher for c/B there is no other higher high - either reversal or not.
      If the price moves below 2820 the second 40w cycle will make lower low than the previous one, which means the cycle of higher degree 18months turned lower and we will not see higher highs before 4 year cycle low.

      Delete
    4. Hi Krasi. I've been having the same EW count as you for some time now. However I've been struggling to find an alternative bullish count if we do break higher. There are many indicators that I'm seeing that is saying we're not ready to turn down yet, so I am open to the melt up scenario. How would you change your count if price continues to melt up?

      Delete
  21. Like I said 3200 will be hit. It's a shame I was made fun of the obvious. You wasted a whole year of trading looking for your low. I'm not sure what technical charts you guys are following. Don't expect a good pull back until 3300. I'm just trying to help. We are in the early stages of III. Yes, there will be pull backs but ignore at your own peril.

    ReplyDelete
  22. xyz, don't waste your time: even when reality is the opposite of what should have been based on EW analysis.. a new count will come up that demonstrates that EW was correct anyway.
    And don't you dare suggesting the opposite.. even the well-recorded and never ending list of tops that were called this year wasn't wrong: it was correct! We live in a world where many people believe the earth is flat so... unfortunately reality doesn't seem to count that much, in astrophysics or Elliot Wave

  25. If the Fed announced tomorrow AM they were immediately printing 30 trillion dollars to buy SPY over the course of the day I think that would matter. Everything matters. The turning point = the tipping point when algos can turn the market's direction...when the musical chair song stops playing and there isn't enough buy the dip $ left to stop SPY from breaking support level. No clue if that will happen tomorrow. Pt is only short when support is broken.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Listen,

    It is not logical to say that nothing matters except the charts when clearly there are examples of reversals defined by fed announcement, brexit, presidential election. On the evening Trump was elected Krasi stated that markets do not move vertically. He insisted that market would revert and resume lower. Look at where we are now. Come on.

    Look, you clearly seem to get some of the calls right but you can't tell me that you can outperform indexing by making tiny trades where you get some right and many wrong. It doesn't work that way. How much did you bet on the current trade? Compared to someone who is fully invested all the time? You insist how superior your trading results are but you are spinning your wheels. You get some right, sure.

    In the end, you need to be honest with your results. If you are so good, publish your trades real time with amount you are trading. Lets see how you manage risk. How those decisions impact your bottom line. Show the people instead of hiding behind elliot wave bs.

    2. You just do not understand EW. The way it works is - if then elseif else. For you this is weakness to many outcomes for others a tree of possible outcomes and use it to build a trading plan with high probability and low risk.
      I have posted recently how to cover many different trading outcomes to build or get rid of a position with low risk - it was exactly this logic.
      You just do not understand it, your thinking is stiff and you are not flexible. For you there is tell me the future buy and wait.

      That is why Avi is always somehow right - he lays out all outcomes he sees and waits for one of them to play out triggering a trade. Your thinking is one dimensional - tell me the future(the direction) period... it is not EW the problem, it is your capabilities to understand it.

      Delete
    3. But your system over the last year hasn't provided multiple outcomes. You have said for the last year the market will hit 2200 (with high probability). You have said multiple times a top is in. How is that not a EW problem? Where have you provided an outcome of hitting close to 3300 by EOY? I think anyone with reading capabilities can understand that your high probability has been off for a year. You said you use this high probability and low risk to make a trading plan. Well then the trader is under water by now or missed a huge opportunity. You can sugar coat it all you wanna. Instead of acknowledging it you say others are too stupid to understand. I understand you have said for a year that EW is showing the high probability that we pull back to 2200. That never happened. May never happen. Rather than say the count has been wrong for a year, the reader is just stupid and doesn't understand EW. OK. This shows me everything I need to know about EW. Thanks.

    4. In this case I would say yes the reader is stupid with zero reading capabilities.
      Yes the market will hit 2200 with high probability... in 2020 can you read? Or use your eyes?
