Weekly preview

We knew that cycle and pattern are not completed and the market decided to go for blow off, which is not unusual. It has to fool as much traders as possible - judging by the comments it was successful. Three days will not change the last two months - another corrective move, which is topping... it is history it is done.

Nothing changed - the move from the November low is completing and the 20w cycle will turn lower for several weeks.


TRADING
Trading cycle - buy signal, more closes below and above MA10/RSI crosses. The same - expecting setup like Jan-Feb and turn lower.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - you can count a-b-c with c=0,618xa, another option is the whole move from the November low is diametric not just the c-wave. It works for indexes like DAX,SP500 and others, but it is best visible on the NDX chart.

SP500 closer look - from 9-th of Dec real mess and final blow off. This double zig-zags/diametrics are every where. Another one looks close to completion ideally 10 points higher.


Intermediate term - nothing new, the indicators with long and short term divergences warning for a high. Neowave pattern symmetrical completing at 18m high looks good. Classical EW pattern should be W-X-Y with the catch that there is no impulses.
Alternate this is THE top... still the pattern high should be later, but if we see the last move retraced very quickly like 4-5 weeks we have reversal.


Long term - DJI weekly chart another touch of the trend line with double RSI divergence does not make me feel bullish.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - oscillators turned up, but weak with lower highs so far. This three days up do not show some big strength.
McClellan Oscillator - slightly above zero.
McClellan Summation Index - sell signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - sell signal.
Bullish Percentage - bounced from 70 lower high so far.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - bounced from 75, lower high so far.
Fear Indicator VIX - higher low, short term double divergence.
Advance-Decline Issues - turned up from zero, lower high so far.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - this time the DAX, because it shows more clear what is going on. I still think we have 20d high and next is decline into 20d low.


Week 10 for the 20w cycle. The indices are at 20w cycle high and turn into 20w low is expected.

  1. We did not top yet, RSI is at highest level since Sept high. We need one more pullback and rally to complete move. No top until end of the month.

    ALso the move down that comes next is anyone's guess how far it can head down. It can go down anywhere from 3000 to 2200.

  2. I remember when people said 3800- 4000K was for sheep. Sigh.

  3. I think it goes back to the point where you can ride it all the way up and become over confident that it won't decline, especially after you see these 100 point drops intraday get beaten back up to new ATHs, you think you are invincible, when suddenly, one day the 100 point drops doesn't get beaten down and it turns into a landslide which doesn't stop. It's just as hard psychologically to get out on the way down. As Jeremy Grantham said, you may miss the top, but getting out at a reasonable point near the top is advisable. Traders are way over-confident at the moment. Plenty more black swans to come in the coming months.

    1. Very well explained with few sentences!
      I had comments like why bother trying to find a top - simple you need to know when to stop running with the herd and it was this week.
      Plenty of examples to confirm it - for example Feb.2020 would it be so bad to take profits lets say at 3200 three months earlier.
      What is the point of cheering 3800-4000 for example when majority will not take profits and watch 200 points evaporate in days and you are at August-September levels 4-5 months back.

      Taking at least partial profits is smart and the goal of the analysis is to tell you when.
      Of course my analysis is stupid because it can not nail the top as if this is the goal.....

    1. For such short term time forecasts I can use only the 10d/20d cycles and I can not nail it exactly the day.
      Your dates look too stretched - usually the cycles are 10-12 days long. Another day is ok 14th looks too stretched... unless completely new 20d cycle is running.

  7. Krasi, thank you very much for the weekly update above. For the first anticipated downturn, which index (S&P, NASDAQ, RUSSELL2K, or DJIA) will experience the greatest PERCENTAGE drop before retesting the near-term high that will take place before THE HIGH. And would that answer/opinion apply for the drop after THE HIGH as well? Thanks much for all you do to provide your expertise.

    1. I can only guess - looking at the levels, where each index should drop to I would say RUT.

      Delete
    2. I appreciate your "stab" at answering my question(s). Been curious on this due to overzealous run upward on both RUT and NASDAQ. Buying EVERY dip is going to bite some people one of these days. Thanks again for all you do here at your blog.

      Delete
    3. Rut was weakest Friday, might be a clue into the new week.

    4. Thanks Roberto. When "hunting the herd," best to pick out the most susceptible, weak targets to take down the kill. At least that approach works for wolves, hyenas, lions, and the like. Good hunting to you.

    5. Based on relative strength comparisons between various ETFs I see a lot of trends changing in the coming weeks into February. Some may already have pivoted (like FANG today), others may finish the current moves into the end of the month and then reverse. Starting with what I see being the weakest to strongest indices over the intermediate term-

      NYFANG < SMH < XBI < IWM < QQQ < EEM < XLF < SPY < DIA

      Look for breaks of the current trends and confirmation of reversal, for example - https://i.imgur.com/7K8kfJ5.png

  8. I think the drop will not begin until the 20th, it is the inauguration usa and whatever happens that day the drop will begin later

    1. The drop will begin with the media starts writing about how many people stopped using the big social media platforms. That should be any day now.

    2. I would say 20th is 5w lower high.

  9. Avi Gilbert expecting sp500 to 4600 this year!

    1. Avi Gilburt can not make a difference between impulse and correction so I do not really care what he thinks - he can not count EW braking the rules all the time.
      He will fail miserably again like in 2019. I do not know how someone can take him seriously.... traders have short memory.

      Delete
    2. Definitely talks up his "successes" anyway

      Delete
    3. "He will fail miserably again like in 2019. I do not know how someone can take him seriously.... traders have short memory."

      In fairness you failed miserably as well in 2019. All one has to do is look at your 2019 charts. Lots of people have short term memory.

      Delete
    4. In fairness in 2019 getting out three months earlier for example at 3200 was way better than buying fantasy third wave 4000 and watching everything evaporate for 4-5 weeks.
      Admit it to your self and you will feel better.

  10. 3 waves down from Jan/Feb peak, 3 waves up now from March low. I am expecting 5 waves down to hit lower trendline. 2100 by April.

  11. Ded, tomorrow the exit doors get taken off

  12. You were never calling 3200 in 2019. Maybe once we got there. You were even trying to short the market. I remember cause I lost money trying to follow. Not trying to start shit just being honest.

  13. 4th January is another possibility for 10w low

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. According to the indicators I use the answer is no, example - https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%21MCOSIRSPX&p=D&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p03552267157

      If you look at weekly chart there is three sideways candles two of them red showing downward pressure - this is the down phase of this 10w cycle.
      On weekly line chart you will not even see this push lower on 4th of January.

  14. Neely has updated his charts to be short term bullish into Feb, before B wave terminates!

    1. how low does he say we go down next?

      Delete
    2. He doesn't really say specifically

      Delete
    3. I find Neely's analysis ambiguous and poorly worded. He continuously changes or alters his predictions.
      Not impressed......

      Delete
    4. Seems most elliott wave technicians short term wave counts are open to changing,his long-term perspective hasn't altered much, still sees this as a B before a massive final leg correction

      Delete
    5. We have very complex B wave of a triangle or what ever - you CAN NOT predict the path it will take.
      You can not predict the shape of b/4-waves in advance - it is impossible. This is the nature of this waves.
      All you can do is to predict part of what is this corrective wave and you have to adjust all the time. Close to completion its pattern will be visible.

      For someone with EW experience it is well known and you have to accept it.
      For someone without EW experience this theory is garbage.

    1. Levitating and doing nothing probably waiting for the option expiration the end of this week.
      It looks like 5w high, this is the fourth week already and next week lower into 5w low.

  23. Welp looks like Bidens plan is gonna be the catalyst for the move down. Double top on spx.

  24. If we see carefully, With these many people into market, even short sellers don't have money to short the market.
    It's just that many stocks in S&P are yet to grow, so correction is simply rotation to growth stocks from speculative stocks. At the end they're in same index.

    Look at the analysis below. Simply superb.
