Weekly preview

Completing the pattern from the 2023 low. Short term the 20d cycle high says another 3-4 days higher.... or it can just truncate and plunge lower.
Long term this is important high it could be even the top from 2009... if you look at stronger index like NDX it looks like zig-zag from 2020, weaker index like NYSE looks like b-wave of a flat and very weak index like RUT just a b-wave bearish flag.


TRADING
Trading trigger - buy signal.
Analysis - at the top. Important turn lower next week.
P.S. - for a trade both analysis and trigger should point in the same direction.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - depending where the low is you can count impulse c for a-b-c or double zig-zag y for w-x-y. I would bet on zig-zags....


Intermediate term - two zig-zags down and up... waiting for B-wave to be completed and C-wave for a flat should follow.
Alternate this is expanding ending diagonal from the 2022 low for a-b-c from the 2020 low and the top from 2009.


Long term - 4y cycle high the end of 2021, now a-b-c lower, alternate this is the top from 2009.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - trying to turn higher, but look very weak with divergencies.
McClellan Oscillator - above zero with divergence.
McClellan Summation Index - turned up, divergence.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - turned up.
Bullish Percentage - turning up, below 70.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - turning up, below 75.
Advance-Decline Issues - turned up with double divergence.
Fear Indicator VIX - multiple higher lows.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - 20d cycle low, now higher into 20d cycle high. The 40w cycle high divides better in three, there is no clear 20w high.


Week 16 for 40w cycle. I expect 40w cycle low around June consisting of three extended 10w cycles.
Week 29, at a high of at least 40w magnitude... and very likely 18m high too.

    This is a strong bull market - how long it will take before collapsing like a cheep tent?

    1. Per John Templeton: “Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria.” So Irving, cue up the band (again):

      "Blue skies smilin’ at me
      Nothin’ but blue skies do I see
      Bluebirds singin’ a song
      Nothin’ but bluebirds all day long ..."

    4. Krasi, does this premarket SPX surge of 60+ points satisfy your final count of a peak?

    5. There is some minimum reached y flat or 5=0.618x1, but I can not say if it will extend to 5=1 or not - https://invst.ly/13lozn

    2. I am referring to another major 9 year cycle high which leads to risk off trade

  5. when the 20% sell off comes ad it always does it may be irrelevant as it may just take markets back to late last year - hardly a big deal

    1. Your assumption is nothing changed and it will not change - business as usual.
      Well this is very wrong assumption. Read the end of the post.

  9. I am not contesting what you are saying but why do you think this is the top and not after another 10-15% increase from here? In other words, why the Y wave cannot keep going up for some more time.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Because cycles says the indices are a top and they should decline for a few months and with awful market breadth and multiple divergences continuation for a few more weeks and another 10-15% is a fantasy.

  10. Looks like c wave up not down.

    2. If NQ makes another higher high in tandem with ES and DOW it looks like it could take another 1-2 weeks

    3. You keep disparaging anyone with bullish comments for months. But it keeps rising. I mean it has been rising a lot. I don’t know how you can be so sure.

    4. It is pretty obvious just look at any chart. Today posted Europe a few weeks ago MSFT 30 years chart and bonds and explained why. Those calling for a new bull market are wrong.
      This second leg surprised me, but does not change anything in fact it is worse now.

  12. If you look at whenever the market dive down like it did couple years ago and went up aggressively, it looks like it always pushes higher by a lot. Even if it retest the low of last year. Just saying. Nothing says the bull market is in jeopardy.
