Weekly preview

I was expecting 3-5 days higher for 5w high and test of MA50 - we have it.

What is next is more difficult question.
From cycle perspective we have conflicting signals - the trading cycle is in buy mode this should be the expected 4th cycle and we should see another 15-20 days higher. But from another perspective we have 4 weeks lower and one week higher for 5w high(which is bearish) and next we should see decline for 3-4 weeks into 5w low this is what comes after 5w high.
From pattern perspective the bears see LD and now a-b/B or 2, the bulls see a-b-c finished and new highs coming.
I would say expect something different - most likely some sideways pattern like triangle. This can resolve this cycle conflicting signals or the other option just continuation lower.


TRADING
Trading cycle - buy signal. We have a trend line already tested on Friday. This is the 4th cycle running and we should see another 15-20 days higher(the red count high-to-high). The problem is this is the final cycle for the 40w sequence, which should be the weakest one. Probably the most profitable part of it are already behind us with the rally from Fridays last week and this week.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - the "bullish scenario" the white count is what the majority follows A/1 LD and a-b/B or 2 running.
I think something else is going on. I do not believe in LDs and I expect the decline for b to take longer into 20d low and retrace more than 62%(the yellow count). All this pat of a bigger sideways pattern.
The alternate options - continue to new highs, which is not very likely or just continue lower, which will not surprise me.


Intermediate term - the price broke below MA50 and testing it, MACD broke below the zero line and testing it. Again waiting to see what happens next before putting labels....


Long term - the bull market completed in 2018. Since then a bunch of corrective waves. Currently I think this rally should be a corrective wave of a bigger pattern flat/triangle or x wave. With corrective waves often you have to adjust so stay open minded.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - turned up, lets see what will follow next week.
McClellan Oscillator - reset and above zero after slightly oversold levels.
McClellan Summation Index - sell signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - sell signal, but reached oversold level and trying to turn up.
Bullish Percentage - turned up in the middle of the range.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - jump from the 25 level and in the middle of the range.
Fear Indicator VIX - nothin interesting, doing nothing... it looks like bottoming.
Advance-Decline Issues - nothing interesting in the middle of the range.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - we saw 4 days higher for 20d/5w high as expected. Next we should see decline into 20d low, curently 6 days old so we should see something like another 4-8 days lower.


Week 12 for the 20w cycle. At the moment my assumption is that we have 40w high and 10w low.

  1. I see a problem to fit the high cycles, when were the 2 last 10w high?

    1. I wrote about that the previous weeks. Because of the speed of the decline it is exactly the same like Q42018/Q12019 - exactly 32 weeks. High to high cycle consist of down part and up part.
      The down part is only 7 weeks and not 20 weeks as it should be. This is the answer why it is shorter.
      In fact it is not shorter at all because if you start from 2000 you will see that the 54 month cycle(high-to-high) is with length roughly 3.5 years or the 40w cycle is two months shorter. So it has average length - 32 weeks.

  2. Yes, but is posible 40w high around elections, or a lower high

  4. looks like it's cementing the break above 3400 - if so 3450-60 should be next . not far to the ath from there.

  6. According to RSI we have a-b-c running 1h chart - https://invst.ly/sdgad
    On the 4h chart we have broken trend line with divergence so something lower is coming - https://invst.ly/sdgb-

    1. Fantastic, and dxy to make a C up to 96?

      Delete
    2. DXY looks like testing the MA50 break out and higher.
      I can not see clean pattern for now.... I am starting to think that the USD is in a huge multiyear triangle.

  7. NYSE clear zig-zag a-b-c with c=a so one speculation at the moment - https://ibb.co/RTBHZz0
    This was my alternate pattern for Y just SP500 did not retraced so much for the c wave of the triangle.... but NYSE and RUT look good.

    1. seems that last night was an extreme version of 4. NYA doesn't have a complete patter for a "C" does it?

  8. chop, chop,chop....see if 3450/60 offers resistance today . Seems there is rotation going on with small & mid cap outperforming . Dow might have a shot at it's all time high , tech not .

    Think this high could stretch into friday/monday . Best bet then is a c wave back to the a wave low for a flat correction . Other options lower odds now imo

    1. You are very optimistic... the market is topping and the next wave lower below the Mach low will begin soon.

    2. Krasi, I assume you are referring to a slow grind down, and the wave below March 2020 will be summer 2021. Am I reading this correctly?

      Delete
    3. Yes, the low should be next year with 18m low. I doubt it will be slow grind... more likely sharp decline after the election than something higher/sideways for months... then maybe slower grind lower for a few months.

  9. looking very similar to 2011 correction where we made a leading diagonal then had deep retracement and then big plunge. 2800 atleast by EOY is my target.

    1. I do not believe in LDs... I do not think they exist. See the NYSE chart before we see thee 10w high there will be no big decline.

  10. The futures show complete pattern with c=a and y=w - https://invst.ly/sejn5

  11. Some people thinks september was 20w low, I think it too, it is a litle long 26 weeeks but I think this is the best option

    1. I think this because price goes down below ema10 weekly and this week is recovering it, this did not happen in august

    2. This does not make much sense. It means you have 20 week cycle high with length 30+ weeks, which is definitely not the case.

    2. Or H&S

      DAX https://invst.ly/sev0a
      SP500 with triangle https://invst.ly/sev22
      Very interesting is how the H&S target is exactly the 62% retracement.
