Weekly preview

The market NVDA moved higher gapping every day... and trapped many on Friday with sharp reversal.
We have one more 20d cycle high, 40w high at week 32, indicators and market breadth with multiple divergences. The market is at important top and next is decline into May/June for 40w low.

As expected zero answers from all the "smart traders". They have no plan it feels sooo good I wish it will continue forever. To summarize the usual emotianal crap and nonsense with no plan:
- you are wrong so no decline - finding excuses, completely clueless.
- it is higher 8000 points(NDX) so no decline - extrapolating the past into the future.
- yields lower so no decline - history says the opposite every 4 years yields and indices decline in sync.
- AI will change the world NDX 50k so no decline - probably some young guy with zero experince, riding all this hype, gamification of trading never seen a decline - read history adoption of new technologies quick check Internet and dotcom bubble.
To be fair two weeks ago someone posted the main stream EW count impulse from 2009 and now the top of iii/5 ending diagonal. There is no impulse and the ED is very suspicious, best case there a-b-c from 2009 and this is iii/c ending diagonal with the same result. At least the guy has a plan which can be adjusted when we see the next decline.... all the others are just believers that the good times will last forever - I have news for you the good times are gone, all it is left is the sugar high the paper wealth.


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


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - looks like corrective w-x-y with plenty of zig-zags... difficult to see impulse.


Intermediate term - two double zig-zags for w-x-y at two Fibo targets. This should be the top of corrective B-wave and C-wave for a flat should follow. Alternate this is 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 - weak with divergences.
McClellan Oscillator - above zero, multiple divergences.
McClellan Summation Index - very weak buy signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - buy signal.
Bullish Percentage - divergence.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - divergence.
Advance-Decline Issues - multiple divergences.
Fear Indicator VIX - multiple divergences.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - choppy moves makes it difficult to count shorter cycles. The highs look like three extended 10w cycles, 5w cycle high in the middle and three 20d cycles to complete 5w/10w/40w cycle high.
The lows - sticking to the theory 20w low in February, but vusualy probably three extended 10w cycles too.


Week 19 for the 40w cycle. Probably 40w cycle consisting of three extended 10w cycles, but if I have to pinpoint 20w low it should be at week 16.
Week 32 high-to-high, at the top of at least 40w cycle... and very likely 18m cycle high too.
Average length for the 40w cycle is 32-36 weeks the last 40w low was 33 weeks long and now the high is 32 weeks long maybe the market is back to normal rhythm after shorter cycles from mid-2022 to mid-2023.

  1. What indicator do you look at to confirm potential reversal? Daily close below MA10?

    1. Early trigger is when the 20d cycle turns lower - close below the open of the previous day means with high probability the 20d cycle turned lower. This should occur early in the cycle after several days for some kind of reversal... at least 5w cycle or longer turned lower.
      Another trigger - two closes below MA10 usually means the 10w cycle or longer turned low.

      Of course the context of the bigger picture is important - for example if triggered at week 13 expect a few weeks lower for 20w low, at week 32 from the previous high like now with high probability 40w high.

    2. Thank you for a detailed response.

      Btw curious to know your thoughts on real estate market in the US. Do you think it's headed lower over the longer term?

    3. I do not have information I can only speculate - when the bust comes many assets will be put on the table for sale so probably overshoot lower for a short period 1-2-3 years... then normalization.
      The era of financialization should come to an end and after that normal market - supply and demand without speculation.
      2030-2040 commodities should be higher so it will not be cheap to build a new house.

    1. There is a whole new generation which is conditioned that declines does not matter it's always higher, they are interested to get rich for a day without effort. If you think stocks are crazy the crypto world is insane chasing the next altcoin to jump 100 times.
      Waaaay to much greed, this will end as always - in tears.

    2. This market is headed for another leg higher. Likely another 10-20% higher before correction begins.

    2. Don’t be calling tops on a market that breaks all time highs. It can keep going for a long time. Read the turtle trader.

  6. My target from the chart Krasi mentioned in the post is bit higher at 5221 where a=c, where I'll be waiting for confirmed reversal, if not then revise the plan

    2. Kind of, I also use some of the indicators you list every week and imho this one is most important to confirm when reversal is likely https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%21MCSUMRSPX&p=W&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p03323205892
