Weekly preview

Short term - choppy move since mid-December, it looks like correction and a third zig-zag.
Intermediate term - the indices diverge NYSE/DJ have 10w low this week SPX maybe earlier... it is again the few tech stocks making it look strong. Possible 40w high after 25 weeks as the previous two cycles alternate one more 5w cycle.
Long term - this is at least 40w high(6 months long already) I think it is 18m high so after the top we should see decline into at least 40w low into June/July.
Very long term - one way to count is 7y cycle 2002->2009->2016->2022->2029 it fits with ED pattern and higher low in June/July. The other option is stick to the theory 9y cycle 2002->2011->2020->2029 with 54 month(4y) cycle low right on schedule mid-2024 - which fits with flat pattern and testing the low from 2022. The second option has better pattern alignment - important cycle lows/highs are at pattern lows/highs as it should be, the first one has 7y low at a subwave... very odd.

Overall picture - market breadth negative it could move up for divergence, RSI/MACD divergence daily and weekly, mature cycle, pattern five legs of what ever it is, magnificent 7 very toppy all with weekly divergences 5 wave impulses completing and half of them 5 of 5 wedge/ED.
Short said good luck holding longs... maybe this time is different and 20 points higher are worth it.


TRADING
Trading trigger - buy signal. Crossing up and down the MA no clear or extended 10w cycles... not easy to follow the count.
Analysis - final wave completing the correction and turn lower to complete the 4y cycle low. At intermediate term high now topping process.
P.S. - for a trade both analysis and trigger should point in the same direction.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - the suposed fifth wave broke the channel this impulse is bullshit, third zig-zag z-wave for tripple complex pattern looks way better.


Intermediate term - two zig-zags down and up with the same size... waiting for B-wave to be completed and C-wave for a flat should follow.
Alternate wave 4 of ED expected.


Long term - 4y cycle high the end of 2021, now a-b-c lower into 4y cycle low in Q1 2024.
Very long term - most likely huge double zig-zag from the 2009 low was completed. Alternate if we are lucky this is some topping pattern triangle or ED and there is one more high in 2025.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - pointing lower, some ticked up... maybe divergence will develop.
McClellan Oscillator - oversold and turned higher.
McClellan Summation Index - sell signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - sell signal.
Bullish Percentage - ticked up.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - ticked up.
Advance-Decline Issues - ticked up.
Fear Indicator VIX - another higher low.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - 20d low and now higher into 20d and 5w high. Other indices made their 10w low this week, the SPX seems made it earlier.


Week 12 for 40w cycle. I expect 40w cycle low in June/July consisting of three extended 10w cycles.
Week 25 this could be the top as with the previous two cycles alternate one more 5w cycle. This top is of at least 40w magnitude and very likely 18m high too.

    1. Nothing complicated - corrective zig-zag either B flat or 4 ED, decline for 5 months.

    2. upper trendline stretch to 5023, does your corrective or 4 ED see this trend line?

    3. At the moment we have a=c it could go to a=1.618xc or not I can not say.... 1.618 extension is 4900 by the way.

    1. so is this a top now? its totally not moving after last friday crazy move.

      Delete
    2. first short term low should be wednesday close / thursday open, then will see what kind of bounce we get from there. the decline should accelerate today/tomorrow, bonds not supporting this squeeze in equities we had.

    3. however so far the decline looks like a corrective consolidation unless it accelerates down and soon.. stop loss is obvious

    4. very strong action. i think we have the potential for another 80-100 point blowoff next few days.

    5. Several exhaustion gaps, fifth wave after extended third wave, RSI/MACD divergence this is not very likely scenario - https://invst.ly/134b5w
      The third wave was 100 points blow off now is the top with divergence.

    6. thank you krasi. i hear you about the negative divergences and the w5 structure, but this may not be a w5 but a wC and the consolidation we had the last couple of days was wB. over the next 6 tds we have gdp, pce, fomc and a bunch of earnings. on top of it we have a full moon on thursday jan 25, which although i never follow astrology or understand how it works, i noticed that these full moons more often than not mark a turning point within 2 tds. i guess they are self fulfilling as many traders follow this stuff.

      i think we will have an important turning point before the genius speaks next wednesday. with all the data and figures coming in we will either decline into it or rally into it, in which case fomc will disappoint. i have a wall resistance at 4950spx (4980es) which may be tested if we keep on blowing fumes. i think any break of yesterday's lows from here will confirm the top is in. we'll see..

    7. It can not be B too small compared to the previous one . It could be iv/3 now higher v/3 then pullback 4 we are at day 10 for the 20d high. It is more likely to see pullback and one more high.
      We have the exhaustion gaps in the third wave already.

    8. thank you it makes sense. one thing for sure we are in lala land here.. let's see

  12. Now we have two legs and 1,618 ratio. If it is Z this is is the top if we have impulse this is iii/5.
    NDX looks like clear double zig-zag from the October low so skeptical about impulse.

    1. krasi if this is the beginning of w4, do you expect it to bottom around spx 4830-40 before resumption of final w5 ? thanks

    2. krasi, are we there yet? 4900 with +vix?

    3. The same concept zig-zags(w-x-y) or impulses(a-b-c) shown on NDX - https://invst.ly/134xxz
      Top or pullback FOMC and final high.

    4. thanks for the NDC chart. can we see the SPX chart?

  13. Vix shows well the last 5w high-low, yesterday was 20d low?
    The same like december january

  14. it looks like a w4 correction that should be completed by today/tomorrow followed by one more (last?) squeeze early next week.

    2. It is time for pullback not blow off

    3. What magnitude of the expected pullback do you currently see? Thx

    4. so far the rally looks weak and ndx looks like crap.. maybe we are close to finally turn down as krasi is suggesting. today is the full moon, a potential turning time for whatever it's worth.. maybe after fck u friday.
