Weekly preview

Many are bearish seeing impulse lower etc. At major turning points all indices are moving in tandem and I do not see this now.
For example how do you count impulse for the DJ? The European indices do not follow lower. The move lower is too slow and this means the indices are still in the same pattern which started in March etc.

I expect to see intermediate term low 10w cycle low soon and higher for a few weeks. The short term forecast is difficult with the FED meeting next week which could cause short term volatility.



TRADING
Trading trigger - sell signal, nearing a low.
Analysis - long term sell the rips, I think we have major top. Close to intermediate term low.

P.S. - for a trade both analysis and trigger should point in the same direction.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - some are counting impulse, but it is more likely that we have another series of zig-zags. Very deep retracement so the possible patterns are flat and triangle.


Intermediate term - RUT how a triangle could look like.


Long term - RUT monthly I do not see impulse, I see completed double zig-zag most of the indices have this pattern, which is much worse than the b-wave I am showing.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - the indices should be close to a low.
McClellan Oscillator - posible divergence after slightly oversold level.
McClellan Summation Index - sell signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - sell signal.
Bullish Percentage - typical level for a low the 40-50 range.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - close to the oversold level.
Fear Indicator VIX - making lower highs.
Advance-Decline Issues - making higher lows.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - expecting 5w/10w low probably next week.


Week 7 for the 20w cycle.
Long term we have 4 year cycle high and transition from up to down. The 18m low either late September with one extra 20w cycle or alternate on time in June/July... waiting to see how the pattern will play out to confirm one of the two options.
If the 18m low was in late September than the indices are close to 40w low. The reaction from this low will confirm it or not. Currently I think the low was in the summer of 2021 on time.

    1. Too vertical too far from MA200 so time to correct for a few months.

  2. It's conflicting because I don't think tech goes back to test all time highs, so maybe tech has a weak bounce while spx and rty is much stronger. Either way a gap down Monday will likely be a bear trap. Thank you Krasi

  3. "If the 18m low was in late September than the indices are close to 40w low." What are usually the signs for this? By the time we figure out, isn't it too late? Last week, indices jumped 3-4% in a day only to collapse back lower the next day. In such volatility, is it even possible to predict accurately until it is obvious?

    1. Searching for clues:
      - indicators like RSI, McClellan, Advance-Decline Issues - the price does make significant low but the indicators do. Not very helpful in this case.
      - completed pattern - the cyclical lows occur with completed pattern like zig-zag,triangle etc. I can not see such at the moment.
      - look at other indices - the European indices made important low in March and now only correction for 10w low.

      So the odds are that this is not important low, just 10w low.
      The indices should move at least for a month higher so a skilled trader will look for a proper entry and see what happens... what ever the market gives you.

    1. If you compare with 2018 it is Q1.2018 the beginning of the correction.

      Delete
    2. Because Q4'18 was 18m low and we are not at a major low at this point in the cycle?

    3. Sort of... cycles correspond to 40w low in the second 18m cycle after 4 year cycle high.

      Delete
    4. Sorry, didn't understand this comment. can you elaborate?

      Delete
    5. Q1.2018 and now at the same stage of the 4 year cycle(consists of 3x18m) - the first 40w low in the second 18m cycle(consists of 2x40w)

  7. Hi Krasi, what do you think is next? These moves are crazy. Erased most hopes of a rally.

    2. Thanks for the chart! Looking at SPY and QQQ, it is possible correction is over (double bottom or lower low with divergence on 1hr/4hr/D charts. What do you think? SPX has a few gaps around 4K, and previous high is 3985, so in my opinion, a touch to that area would be ideal.

      My only hesitation to SPY/QQQ bottoming is that ARKK and growth stocks have broken key support levels and feels like there is a lot more downside.

    3. ARKK set up on daily chart with bullish divergence vs indicators

  8. Krasi, your opinion on bitcoin?

    1. It moves in sync with the indices .. so the same - one more up to complete the correction and down.

    2. targets in price?

    3. After we see the low the target is the high from March around 47k
