Weekly preview

Corrective structure up as expected. This surge has the signs of a final push before a top - it comes after the price bounced twice from MA50 but not resetting rather topping, vertical move to look convincing, gaps up every day most likely exhaustion gaps, selling the highs every day.

According to my analysis cycles and pattern are very close to their final target - 18 month high and completed corrective structure from the March low.
Next week we have FOMC, which is usually some kind of a low/high. If we see the week starting higher this is not good the indices are heading for the final top. If we see a few days lower than watch for the top in the fourth week of March.


TRADING
Trading cycle - buy signal after another MA10 cross. The analysis was right that the sell trigger should be ignored.
Again analysis and trigger should point in the same direction for a trade. High-to-high daily count entered the time window for a high and the next time we have a MA10 cross both analysis and trigger will point in the same direction.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - this move up is some complex corrective structure - I see two zig-zags so far.... is this a and now b? If we see the price lower for a few days around mid-week it is a b-wave and we have one more c-wave up. Alternate I am watching f lower and g higher.


Intermediate term - I see one big zig-zag up. You can count it as W-X-Y(white) classic EW, but we do not have impulses. More likely series of zig-zags A-B-C(yellow) with the C-wave as a diametric.
Multiple divergences MACD and RSI - this looks like a top and not a continuation to me.


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. At the moment I think the best looking pattern is Neely's triangle.
The best alternative I see, if it is not a triangle, is w1 of ED and 50%-62% decline for w2 of the diagonal.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - short term bottom and turned up as expected. At the moment we have plenty of long term divergences.... if price turns lower in the next 1-2 weeks we will have confirmation for intermediate term high.
McClellan Oscillator - above zero, series of lower highs so far.
McClellan Summation Index - turned up, very high probability for a divergence.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - sell signal.
Bullish Percentage - turned up, series of lower highs so far.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - turned up, series of lower highs so far.
Fear Indicator VIX - testing the low again with higher low so far.
Advance-Decline Issues - turned up, lower high so far.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - 4 weeks from the previous high so it is time for 5w high. Waiting for the second 20d cycle high to be completed.


Week 6 for the 20 week cycle. The high-to-high count reached my target 4x7 weeks. Soon we will know if it is right or wrong.

  2. Krasi, if we blow past 4,000 what would you say? Just wait and see or it would it just be more topping scenario?

    1. I will say the last c-wave of the last zig-zag is running.

  3. How much more before the B wave top theory is invalidated, Krasi? What would be your alternative if it is invalidated?

    1. The alternate scenario is shown on the weekly chart ED, which is much worse.
      Corrective wave is a corrective wave and this will not change - the past already occurred.

      Delete
    2. I go with the ED topping sometime in the first half of 2022 at much higher level. but first we have a big wave 2/B correction into the fall after whatever top we see in the next 2-4 weeks. As Krasi says this is a much more bearish scenario in the long term. We will see.

    3. Krasi, may i ask that you explain abit of the weekly chart ED, which one is it? pardon me, i do not understand what is 'the past already occured'.

    4. This weekend I will post a chart with more explanations.
      The time from March.2020 until now is already past, the move is corrective - fact. We can not go back and change the past... it is what it is.

  5. Yesterday or today may be 5 week high but I think this is not the last one, my cycles count expects a last 5 week high next month for the 18 months cycle high. In any case, we should see 2-3 weeks a litte bearish

    1. This will create too much waves and subdivision - from pattern perspective very low probability.
      20d low for several days and one more 20d high is ok, but I do not how to justify 2-3 weeks lower - this will mean 10w or 20w low.

      Delete
    2. Because for me 3th March was 20 week low

      Delete
    3. So in 2-3 weeks 5w low

  6. Peter Eliades latest video is calling for a crash soon - 70-90% ala 1929. The charts are convincing I have to say.

    2. This is only possible with a neutral triangule, If March 2020 was wave A, now wave C to 261 of A

    3. I will show a chart with another triangle.

    4. Great video. He mentioned the A/D line is still making highs, so he wouldn't be surprised to see a pullback and then new highs in the market while the A/D line diverges.

    5. Problem is everyone with two eyes can see that channel. Too obvious IMO.

  8. Hi Krasi, NQ has been weak but SPX is holding up and still well above MA10. What is your criteria for entering short this time? Pattern complete and drop below MA10 or drop below ~3720 (previous support from Feb and March drops)?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It is always the same 1/3 completed pattern and more after we have a trigger.
      Much higher than 3720 more like 3920.

      Delete
  9. Hi Krasi, 2022 will be a 4 year cycle high, it will be also a 9 and 18 years high?

    4. good for him with his gains, but with the bond market collapsing, I can't see how people can ignore that so easily.

  11. Very difficult move to count... as expected series of zig-zags.
    Current thoughts it looks like FOMC was a low probably 20d low and we should see the next cycle making higher high and turn lower early as left translated.
    My best count of all this zig-zags looks like this - https://invst.ly/u6pxw

    Confirmation is sharp reversal below 3930-3910 area. Time to watch very closely....
    Alternate - we still have not seen this wave-b/20d low, which means red days today and tomorrow.

  12. Isn't this 5 weeks high?

    1. Heading into 18m low. Most likely will turn higher when the indices turn lower.
      After that a few months higher and lower again.

  14. we may have already started - look at apple - 5 clear waves down with a small retrace to .382 fib ending yesterday.

  15. do you mean the top top with the big decline to follow? as indicated in your long term chart

    ReplyDelete
  16. Another try to make sense of all this zig-zags - https://ibb.co/pn5Ptq9
    You need four zig-zags for completed pattern, according to RSI this should be the last one.

    1. Another average EW guy, which can not count elliott waves.
      This are my thoughts for those counting obvious corrective wave as an impulse.

      Delete
  18. It looks like an intermediate high is in for now (if not very close in time and price). We may have started wave 2/B of the ED topping in 2022.If this is the case we are in for a nasty correction into late summer. we'll see

  19. looks bad, but we have hourly bull divergence now. What do you think Krasi? one more high still?

    1. that "possible B scenario" might be here. NQ right at strong support

    2. Pushing the price where they want it for options expiration and one more high.

  20. imo we are likely structuring w4 as a triangle: https://ibb.co/qs6xRv2
    another scenario is flat w4 with C low below 4th of March low (which I think less likely so far).
    Important that after that we have last w5 to the upside topping somewhere in May/June.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. There is no impulse so there is no w4 triangle.

      Delete
    2. I should have mentioned that labelling is not EW related. Apologies for confusion. I just wanted to outline my view on the development of this correction. it is either triangle or zigzag, but I still see potential for one more leg higher into mid year.

  21. Been watching all week , not wishing to get chopped up.

    To me , bonds ,gold and currencies still look incomplete and they've been the biggest tell on indices . The cycles are just not reliable short term - look at Hurst and you can make alternative cases for the 4/3 low being a 20 day or 45day low . You'll know in a fortnight , but for now you just have an unusual outcome if you try and base counts entirely on the cycles.
    The highest odds outcome for me here is a further low next week , potentially down to retest the 4/3 low . Entry would be a lower high today or monday .

    1. Also weekly VIX and especially VVIX with BB are better / clearer tale tale signs

    2. It usually takes 8-10 weeeks to build vix spike if around important tops. but the first signs are BB pich and higher lows on VVIX and VIX

  22. Krasi, looking at tech stocks and it feels like they are going higher in the short term. Do you see the same for NDX? Do you still think the final high is just a few days away?

    1. Yes, the tech sector this short term move up should not be finished and the top should be this month.
