Weekly preview

Five weeks ago I have shown chart suggesting 7 weeks higher and extended 20w high after extended 20w low(last chart). Watching the short term cycles this is the most likely scenario - I think we should see one more 20d high to complete 5w high for extended 10w/20w high.
This is the main scenario which I am following in the last few weeks so no surprise just conformation from cycles.


TRADING
Trading trigger - buy signal, extended cycles, overdue for a top.
Analysis - long term sell the rips, we have major top. Intermediate term high - impotant high expected.

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


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - triple zig-zag or impulse, make your choice - it does not matter, at the end a pattern is close to completition.


Intermediate term - the indices are close to the top of the correction. It is a complex pattern there is different possible combinations and I am not sure where the B-wave starts - in June or October. It could be w-x-y or triangle starting in June.
The last move lower lasted 5 weeks now after 6 weeks still lower high - this means this is a leg from the same bigger pattern. Multiple divergences so close to completition.


Long term - most likely huge double zig-zag from the 2009 low B-wave was completed and multi year decline has started. If we are lucky it is lower degree b-wave.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - nothing new maybe, topping...
McClellan Oscillator - moving lower after oversold level.
McClellan Summation Index - buy signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - buy signal.
Bullish Percentage - in the middle of the range.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - in the middle of the range.
Fear Indicator VIX - at the long term trend line.
Advance-Decline Issues - turned lower.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - it looks like 20d high on Tuesday, now close to 20d low. One more 20d high will complete third 5w cycle for extended 10w/20w cycle high - this makes most sense.


The most likely scenario is extended 20w cycle low(in March) lasting 21 weeks and now close to the high of extended 20w cycle high currently at week 20. Both cycles have extended second 10w cycle consisting of three 5w cycles.

  2. thanks a million krasi, very helpful. what a frustrating trading week typical of opex scam... anyway i may have doubts about a new high, especially if we break the so stubbornly defended 4137-45 (ES) level early this week. it's like they are scared to break it :) we'll see.

    2. You can make fun of lady S but it has paid off well to be bullish over the last few months, especially in many individual stocks or even NQ.

    3. It is not about what happened in the last few months...
      Lady S is explaining that the bear market is over and "it is so strong" which is bullshit of course.
      And this is repeating for years - learned zero, very excited on every top.... typical sheeple.

  7. On April 21, 2023, per John Murphy (yeah, the guy who wrote THE book on T.A.): "MORE NEGATIVE DIVERGENCES... My message from a couple of weeks ago showed various measures of market breadth failing to keep up with the S&P 500 which suggested that the current stock rally was on weak technical footing. Unfortunately, that situation hasn't improved. A number of breath measures continue lag behind the SPX. Two of them are shown in Chart 1. The black bars in the lower box show the S&P 500 up against potential chart resistance at its February peak. That's an important test. The red line in the top box shows the percent of S&P stocks above their 200-day moving average trading well below its February peak. That negative divergence suggests that the broader market is failing to keep pace with the SPX. The blue line in the middle box shows the percent of SPX stocks above their 50-day average weakening as well. In fact, the blue line peaked in early December near 90% and has since fallen below 60%. Both lines suggest that fewer stocks are participating in the market rally." Further paragraph: "SMALL CAP DIVERGENCE... Chart 2 shows where a lot of the weakness in market breadth is coming from. It shows Russell 2000 Small Cap iShares diverging badly from the S&P 500 Large Cap Index since early March. As often happens, small caps led the market rally that lasted into early February. But they also have a history of leading market declines. A lot of the weakness in smaller stocks may be tied to the March plunge in banking shares which are heavily represented in the IWM, and which remain weak. Even with that caveat, the negative divergence in smaller stocks is worrisome." 'Nuff said.

  8. the only way the bloody 4137 (ES) is going to break is through an overnight gap down. it's becoming ridiculous. lets see.

    2. Thanks for the clarification - I tend to "tunnel vision" on the cash index $SPX ticker

  9. It looks like reversal lower into 10w low. This is week 7 already so if B is complete the price should move lower very fast.
    If we see slow move in the next weeks which can not take out the last low B is not complete and we have complex w-x-y pattern.

    1. With the "strong" earnings by Big Tech companies after hours today, I am betting on the w-x-y alternative to come, which would work superbly with a PSQ drop to ~12.00 for a bullish weekly chart divergence(s) versus the indicators/oscillators.

    2. agree, i think we crash into mid-late next week first.

    3. Which low are you referring to? March 13? Thx,

      Delete
    4. Yes, the last low in March. Breaking below it means cycle of higher degree(40w) has turned lower.
      If not the indices are still in this sideways pattern.

    5. It looks like the crash could be for tomorrow not next week :) we'll see

  10. Krasi, off on a different tangent, TLT has been forming a flat / rectangle on the weekly chart, indicating quite a fight between the bond bulls and bears. Do you see any hints or indications for a greater expectation of the direction of breakout of said formation, or must one simply wait for a breakout / breakdown of the flat? Thanks much.

    1. 132 on zb has been rejected multiple times, holding over it for a month and bonds will explode up

    1. If the indices are still in b/B I will not be surprised to see another extended 10w cycle - in this case yes.
      Usually it should not be so long 6-7 weeks.
