Weekly preview

Choppy week with zig-zag lower and zig-zag higher so far. For the weaker indices DI,NYSE,RUT the pattern continue to look like triangle for SP500 like the yellow pattern from the hourly chart last week.... all this heading into 5w cycle high some counting it as 20w high. It could squeeze another 1-2 days higher, but time and pattern look mature for a turn lower.


TRADING
Trading cycle - the trigger is on buy. The price tested MA10 making 10d cycle low and RSI tested the MA. Most likely we have completed daily cycle with length 31 trading days. Now the next one running at day 9 - it looks weak so far I expect to fail as left translated and it will decline for the final leg of the correction and for a few weeks to complete the 20w cycle.
Alternate we have 20w cycle low late June... because usually the 20w cycle consist of two such daily cycles.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - I am watching a-b-c pattern with complex b wave as w-x-y. If we see the move higher continue longer than another 1-2 days or higher around 2300 this is in fact bearish and it is most likely Z wave the red count.


Intermediate term - expecting c wave to complete correction. Lower target for the decline at least to 38% retracement and closing the gap makes more sense. Again if you are bullish you do not want to see continuation higher the red path. This will mean the move from the March low is complete and it will decline until November.


Long term - currently I think the bull market completed in 2018. Since then a bunch of corrective waves. Watching this pattern at the moment as most likely... but with corrective waves often you have to adjust so stay open minded.
Because of the NDX I added this "or X" if we do not see correction it will not make it higher until October. We will see a top now.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - are in sell mode.
McClellan Oscillator - below zero.
McClellan Summation Index - sell signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - sell signal.
Bullish Percentage - turned lower.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - up and down in the middle of the range.
Fear Indicator VIX - time for the next spike?
Advance-Decline Issues - in the middle of the range.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - I think we had 10d low this week and now heading into 40d/5w cycle high. After that the indices should turn lower for 5w cycle low to complete the 20w cycle.


Week 16 for the 20w cycle. We should see decline for 2-3 weeks to complete the cycle. Alternate we have 20w cycle low late June... this will be very bearish development.

  1. Hello Krasi and thanks for your works: i have a questioni about Oil? After this trading range in the coming data could break 41 to next resistance at 49 or could turn lower to 30$ area according to all indicators and time cycles?

    1. The price is corrective, it looks tired after the sharp retracement. I do not see conditions for strong rally. More likely like stocks completing the pattern and lower.

      Anyway we have divergence on the monthly chart between waves 3 and 5.
      For the NDX we should not see bigger correction just completing w5 that is why the alternate option today.

  3. Hi Krasi,
    What is the reason for this - "if we do not see correction it will not make it higher until October. We will see a top now."

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. With correction the indicators and the EW count will be reset and the indices continue higher into October. If we do not see this late June was 20w cycle low, the move from March will complete w-x-y or z... and with high probability NDX the bull market from 2009.

      Delete
    2. Thank you. If it continues higher, the chart shows continuation higher for a very short duration. If 20w low was late June, shouldn't it run higher longer?

      Delete
    3. Not necessarily, I am talking about the same pattern like Jan-Feb - shorter bullish 20w cycle the next one making slightly higher high and reverses. The same cycle echo like on the weekly chart, but lower degree for the 20 cycle Jan-Feb -> June-July.
      If we see two more weeks higher and/or 3300 this scenario will be activated.

  4. Hi Krasi. In your 2nd chart, I believe the y=w/b target has already been met in the cash chart. In futures chart, yes we do have much higher to go, /ES=3216. Am I right?

    1. Yes, second leg for zig-zag y/b to be completed properly.

    2. In that case, we'll likely make a higher ICH then. Also I don't think NDX has seen the 20d low yet since late June.

    1. If we see the final leg of correction starting next week the end July.
      If it takes longer or moves higher like 3300 probably the low was the end of June.

    1. I understand nice structure, text book 20w cycle, makes sense... but I see signs that we can get fooled. Stay open minded as I wrote above if we see two more weeks higher and/or 3300 with very high probability we have the same cycle setup like Jan-Feb.

  8. The Feb-March decline looks like the 2008 decline except of course in a smaller scale even the recovery is fitting with he 08-09 recovery. We stopped right around 78.6%. I wouldn't be surprised if we run until mid-next year after a pullback in the coming weeks

    1. And TSLA to 10000... not even close 2009 started with impulse now we have corrective move.
      If it runs higher until mid next year the next 18m cycle high it will be a huge flat and now A completing and test of the low following.

  12. Krasi,

    The short term drop is over after the recent break upwards from the June low. If we were to have continued lower, it should've happened after the classic abc break. But instead of the big c, the c was truncated and we broke above the 10 dma. Additionally, after breaking upward any move to test the 10 dma was immediately met with surge in buying. That is not bearish at all. I would suggest the scenario of the continued upward surge to ATH or slightly passed it is way more probable than moving lower in two days. I would guess in two days we go a little lower and that will bring the short sellers in then another surge to push the indexes higher. Afterall, the short sellers are the reason for violent move upward.

    I guess my point is why take a position if its 50/50? Why not wait until the price comes to you and take the position on the 10dma break?

  21. Do you think this is medium term reversal just like shown in the short term chart? If so, would you add to your short once MA10 is broken? To me its a perfect, double top at ~3230 with strong divergence and looks like reversal. VIX also had very interesting behavior today where it didn't drop in the morning but rallying hard now on reversal.

    1. Yes, with high probability this daily cycle is failing as left translated as expected.
      Yes, I will add to short position. I added today long volatility - rally 50 points and VIX not reacting this was obvious fake rally.
      Double top and like the longer cycles on the weekly chart we have as I call it echo for the 20w cycle - tops Jan-Feb now June-July.

  42. Krasi,

    I am looking at the futures market and it is very weak. I expected a rise but appears to be under pressure from the open. Looking like it will test this week's low at least. Then maybe June's low? Divergence building and my bullish bias has now flipped.

    Generally I would like to see synchronized action across all indexes but I am bothered that oil isn't synchronized as it usually is. What are your thoughts on synchronization before big moves?

    Thanks for your thoughts,

    1. My opinion is that the market is so smart it found a way to synchronize the patterns. Now all indices including the weaker one are synchronized and have the same pattern like SP500 including the EUR/USD.

  50. Krasi, I'm a bit confused. Since late March your analysis has been saying revisit S&P 2,200. Your charts have said down, down, down. Yesterday you mocked a guy for criticizing you, and you implied that you've been saying up all along when the rest of the world was expecting a double dip. (Am I interpreting this correctly?)

    I'm not trying to troll, but I am trying to learn. It seems as if your current analysis is S&P going to 2,900 in the near future, and back up to S&P 3,300 by October. This would represent a 38% retrace. Is 38% retrace a minimum, or what are the chances of a 50% retrace? Again, not trying to troll, but it seems as if you're sending different messages. Thank you for your time.

    1. My friend, this is trading. The market is dynamic and you adjust your expectation all the time depending on the market movements. It's an exercise of coming out with "if x happens, then y, otherwise z" statements with one possibility having higher odds than the other based on your analysis, back-testing, etc. A trader would then modify these statements along the way depending on price movement. If you have someone who can tell you exactly what will happens with certainty, then please let us know so that we can all become rich.

      It's silly at times to listen to people who takes such an absolute view on the market, and just telling Krasi off when he's wrong. Every traders gets it often it's how you manage your risk and trade: your entries, stops, exits and position sizing that will determine if you'll become a profitable trader or not. These blogs only gives us a framework to come out with these "if else" statements. Everyone still needs to do their own due diligence if you want to be successful.

    2. It was an irony in 2019 and 2020 I was explaining that we will see 30% correction around 2200 when literally everybody were explaining how the indices will go much higher.... well the herd was wrong.

      Then forecasting test of MA200 around 3000 and retest of the low - the retest did not play out, very unusually short 40week cycle.... analysis changed a month ago.

      No one can tell if the decline will be 38% or 50% - this are the two most likely targets and accordingly shown on the chart.
