Weekly preview

The market decided to move from zig-zag to double zig-zag the favorite pattern from the March.2020 low. This does not change the overall pattern or cycles just some stocks and indices mainly from the tech sector completing their patterns.

This is 18 month cycle high and the move from March.2020 is completing. How big the decline will be - we will see in the next two months.


TRADING
Trading cycle - still buy signal, but this will change soon. At day 42 is time for daily cycle high and the turn lower should be not just of 10w magnitude, but from 18m high into 18m low. The analysis said to ignore the previous crosses - not this time.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - from zig-zag to double zig-zag. DJ chart shows it more clear. g/C itself is complex wave another double zig-zag. Three different Fibo measurements point to 100-150 points(DJ not SP500) higher for perfect top of this wave.


Intermediate term - you can see this double zig-zags everywhere. You can count the whole move as big A-B-C consisting of two double zig-zags and inside them there is plenty of double zig-zags like g/A and g/C.
It does not matter what exactly it is, the important info is - it is corrective.


Long term - the move from March 2020 should be completed. Next week could start higher, but expect reversal. After the top expect 8-10 weeks lower and we will watch how big the decline will be.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - the same like last week.... the McClellan indicators are pointing to a top the others rather showing strength.
McClellan Oscillator - above zero with multiple divergences.
McClellan Summation Index - buy signal, weak with divergences.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - buy signal.
Bullish Percentage - very overbought.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - extreme overbought.
Fear Indicator VIX - at the levels from last week.
Advance-Decline Issues - lower highs short and intermediate term.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - we have 20d low probably on 07.04 the indicators I watch say 14.04 - the 5w cycle is dominant and the shorter cycles like 20d are not well visible.
The cycle highs on the other side look almost perfect 9+12 and 12+9 days for 5w and 10w cycle highs.
This is 10w high at week 33, which means 40w/18m high - I do not know how to twist it as something else.... you have to make a lot of assumptions which deviate a lot from the normal cycle behavior.


Week 11 for the 20w cycle. The 40w cycle high is 33 weeks long - the average range is 32-36 weeks.


Zoomed out the weekly chart - at the trend line with double RSI divergence.... good luck to all which see this as bullish.

  2. Krasi, Have you looked at gold and gold stocks? What do you think about gold stocks/energy stocks if the whole market turns down? Many say we've entered the commodity super cycle of which oil and gold will go much higher. Will they be down with the market and turn higher later? Or they will move in an opposite direction with the market. Your opinion will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    1. The commodity super cycle is years away. It will begin between 2030-2032 when precious metal make their 16 year cycle low.
      Commodities are moving in sync with the indices and this will continue. Gold will decline into 2023-2024 with the indices into 9 year cycle low.
      The caveat is at the moment I am watching for a triangle in gold so the price low to buy will be 2023-2024 it will take long time for the pattern low to form 2030-2032 with higher low and then commodities will really explode.

    2. snp, I'm curious how you are looking at stochastic to come to that conclusion?

      This is what I'm seeing on weekly and daily- https://imgur.com/a/RwowoXt

      My read is that once the trendline is above 80 it becomes high risk of a reversal. You could be correct that it squeezes higher into those wedges for a few weeks. I've been watching a similar trendline form on 5,15,30 min charts from the March 4th low that looks exhausted, so I expect selling to start this coming week. Maybe that lasts a week or two and then bounces off the weekly trendline for one last rally to finally create all the divergences everyone wants to see (AD line, daily RSI, etc.)

      Bigger picture, the move from the March 2020 low is clearly coming to an end very soon looking at stochastics, RSI and a number of other indicators. I know a lot of bulls have convinced themselves that with everything so fundamentally perfect in the world that the market can't possibly go down this year (even a little) so maybe they think it will just correct sideways for a couple months before rocketing up to 4500, 5200, 6666, 9999! What can you say to that? I don't even bother...

      Delete
    3. @anonymous-i add a 5 ma to stochastic as a crossover line. in particular, i am looking at slow stochastic on nq. still, my stochastic on es is not yet ready to turn down and cross over. granted, a very big down week could do that, but tops are usually an event, esp. this one. i dont see a dramatic pull back from here. too soon.

      Delete
    4. @krasi good point on what dave bannister was saying a year ago. from march 29, 2020:

      The question is now what? Typically after a 5 wave decline (3393-2190 on SP 500) there is some type of Counter-Trend rally, usually a form of an A, B, C pattern. A wave up, B wave down, C wave up to retrace that 5 wave crash in this case.

      That takes us to a likely minor B wave from the 2637 SP 500 highs this past Friday down to maybe 2470 area, possibly as low as 2400 area into the early few days of this coming trading week. Obviously I’m spit balling a bit here, but loosely a pullback and then another rally in April is likely taking us up towards 2700 possibly even a bit higher.
      damn if it went to 2430 and up to 2700 and beyond. dave is good, real good.

    1. Guess what all cycle guys were saying a year ago:)
      Cycle guys like Hickson and Slim are seeing strong right translated 18m cycle so the conclusion small bump and higher - this is how they think and this is the way it works most of the time.

      This works in a trending market, but this is not a trending market this is sideways correction.
      They have no clue about patterns so they will be surprised again like last year.

    5. The usual crap at a high.... the fourth time since 2018. Normal too much emotions and thinking with your ass instead your head.

      @Anonymous1 - a year ago lower low and 4y cycle very bad forecast indeed:) after that I did not know just said at least 3000. Later saw Neely expanding triangle which explains the price action... and just a coincidence we are at a high on time for 18m high.

      @Anonymous2 - and makes lower and lower lows check the chart.

      @Anonymous3 - when it is just a theory why it has worked twice? why it is making high/low at certain time points? When you do not know how to use it, it is your problem not a problem with the theory.

    6. What chart shows lower lows? Any chart from the past 12 months shows higher highs? Do I have the chart upside down?

    7. Ofcourse it is theory. That's why it's called Elliott Wave Theory. Not saying that your analysis is not good. It basically comes down to execution no matter how good anyone's knowledge of EWT or any other system is. I'm sure your execution is good and you have done well.

  5. I agree with you that we are in a large scale correction. I think March 2020 was a Cycle Wave 3 top that began in 1942. The move from March highs is tracing out an expanded flat.

    We are still in B wave, and this can be complex. You are wrong to assume that the crash will begin with this top. I think more likely we will pullback to to SPX 3300 area to form b of B then have one final rally. Also, when this is all done I am predicting a drop to 1600 on SPX atleast.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Your expanded flat is already busted the B wave is way too big and too long compared to the A wave.

      Delete
    2. 1600 over what time period are you talking about?

      Delete
    3. What is your limit for b wave? Your own chart shows it has exceeded 161.8 of a. You are contraindicating yourself.

      I am expecting 1600 in the next 1 to 2 years.

      Delete
    4. In a triangle the limit is 2,618 in a expanded flat it is 1,382.
      So there is no contradiction. Study closely the charts different indices and you will see this is not an impulse.

      Delete
    5. Ok thanks. I dont believe in triangles as isolated Elliott wave structures/corrections by themself. Triangles do exist but they are combination of 5 waves like 4, 5, a, b, c or a, b, c, 1, 2.

    If we have reversal next week we should see acceleration lower and break below this level.

    1. I would agree with this. 4000 is extremely strong support. Below that we probably have topped for awhile. Below 3600 = 2500. I still think 4K is a buying opp if we get there.
