Weekly preview

Slow price action for another week, which is information too. The market feels tired waiting for a few tech stocks to complete with their bubbles.
I was searching for a pattern which allows more time to the upside. ED was one option, but I think it run out of time.... unless we have not seen the 20w low or we see 200 points decline for a week, which is not very likely.
This week I am showing another option even more bizarre:) One really ugly triangle, which I do not know even if it is valid, but it fits perfect with time and works for most of the indices so I could not ignore it.


TRADING
Trading cycle - still buy signal. Other indices like NYSE,DJ,RUT closed below MA10. Both cycles high-to-high and low-to-low very stretched. Waiting to see how a decline lower will look like. I have the suspicion the tech stocks messing up the pattern.
RSI compresed between the trend lines it is getting interesting.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - other indices and cycles suggest we have w4 so expecting higher next week to complete the pattern.


Intermediate term - the ugly triangle count in yellow. The other option w-x-y which is not much different, but different timing.
By the way for the triangle count if you measure time a+c=b which is interesting.


Long term - I think the bull market completed in 2018. Since then a bunch of corrective waves. Currently watching the pattern below wave a or x, but with corrective waves often you have to adjust so stay open minded.
We have another corrective wave which can be wave a of bigger corrective pattern or wave X and another correction to follow most likely zig-zag Y lower.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - deteriorating further... moving lower and divergences, which is typical behaviour around tops.
McClellan Oscillator - below zero.
McClellan Summation Index - turned lower with divergence.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - buy signal, but turning lower.
Bullish Percentage - turned lower with divergence.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - turned lower with divergence.
Fear Indicator VIX - I think it is bottoming.
Advance-Decline Issues - broke the trend line connecting the lows so the next move up will be the top according this indicator.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - difficult to count the daily cycles with the price action from the last two weeks. I would say we have a high 20d/5w last Tuesday and 20d/5w low - better visible if you look at DJ for example.
With the triangle the difference is we have 5w highs and lows and not 10w.
If the 20w low was mid July the vertical lines are showing very symetrical internal structure 4x5w cycles.


This is how the cycles will look like if this triangle is the rigth pattern. You have 20w high at the top of the first wave A, then correction begins wave B and completes with 20w cycle low(16w long 4x5w cycles symetrical in time), then another wave up C starts into the 20w/40w high. Cycles run smoothly between highs and lows from one completed pattern to the next one(as it should be).
I know from theory perspective perfect, but for trading it is just moving up so what is the point of the theory? You know where you are in the big picture and the next time theory and trading will not deviate so much. But the trading cycle(first chart) is doing fine so for trading I have to stick more to what it says.

  2. Looks more like a 5 wave impulse from March low. I agree with your short-term subwave count. We completed wave 4 and are in wave 5. We are at top or very close.

    The entire pattern is a double zigzag. The B wave or X wave is an expanded flat. The c wave of the expanded flat is the 5 wave impulse from the March low. You get a better picture from CV stocks like AHPI which have been following VIX. I think we will go down in 3 waves and not 5. It looks like a flat, but in reality it is a WXY corrective structure and the Y structure will be a zigzag that should take us less than 2500.

    1. I do not agree, the move from the March is definitely not an impulse and even if it is in this flat the B wave is the strongest and fastest so this is not a flat.

  7. I think wave 4 from 2009 will complete in Q4 this year and then we'll have a wave 5 up to at least 4000+. Q4 low will be a higher low to complete WXY.

    1. Wave 4 died long time ago. You do not have retail hysteria and bubbles in the middle of wave4.
      It should be boring and wasting time.

      Delete
    2. Well what makes you sure then?
      I still think it's not the typical wave 4 because of CB intervention. Anyway the next move down should be big enough to reset sentiment I think. We'll see..

      Delete
    3. I am sure because it is obvious and I have explained why above.
      It is already too big for w4 and there is plenty of other indices to see that it is not w4.

      Delete
    4. When you mentioned big, you mean timing? I don't think 2+ years is too long a duration for wave 4. 9Y low could be end of this year.

      Delete
    5. No, I mean size. What started in 2009 is over. There is no wave 4 and 9y cycle low.

      Delete
    6. Well regardless, the next dip is buyable whichever count you look at.

    7. If you look at SPX in late 1960s to 1970s, we have same megaphone pattern. Correction can take forms like this, just that it's rare. My view is we have inflation first with USD weakening into its 16YCL and then we'll get deflation.

      Delete
    8. A few days ago I saw Neely with such count expanding triangle - https://www.neowave.com/images/Forecasting-MAIN-Report.pdf

      Very very strange pattern, but my cycles fit perfectly with his triangle - the single triangle legs, the whole triangle 5 years, and his whole pattern major low 18 years cycle low.
      I am expecting another zig-zag down with lower low, if I am right and we see it I will seriously consider his forecast - megaphone pattern or expanding triangle as strange as it is.

      I think deflation will hit first then inflation will go wild

      Delete
    9. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as always. Yes I do like your idea of deflation until the end of this decade, everything fits. But I can't help thinking that CBs will just allow deflation to happen (that's why we're getting this kind of crazy moves now). Anyway gold should have another leg up I think after this correction completes. A lot of commodities are also signaling at least a cyclical inflation cycle, so let's see..

    10. that pattern will have most people scratching their heads if it's true. has that even happened before?

  8. Krasi, your Long-term outlook (from 2018 to ??) is best represented in historical patterns by the period from 1965-1975/1982 on SPX. It's representative of what I call a multi-decade Buy&Hold Dead Zone. These Dead Zones are preceded by a 10+ year period of outsized Buy&Hold returns. 1905-1922 on DJIA is another Dead Zone. 2000-2012 SPX. Also 1929-53 on DJIA. I agree, a setup for this exists with good odds in the upcoming years--as you are suggesting.

  12. The Oct 2018 to March 2020 correction was wave 4 from 2009 low. It is a clear flat/expanded flat. It is a fractal of 2000-2009. At first I didn't like this because it was hard to count 5 subwaves down but it is clearly the correct answer now. Right now we are in wave 5, and likely just completed wave i of 5. I think wave 5 will be a harmonic or finish in 3 waves. So likely we finished wave a of 5. wave b of 5 will be a flat that will take the rest of the year. I think we will have a major top by Summer of 2021. The coming correction that is next likely won't go lower than 2800 imo.

    1. There is no impulse with three waves and wave 2 and 4 can not be the same - expanded flat.
      All the experts with paid subscriptions count this just because it is easy and obvious, which does not make it right. Plenty of indices to crosscheck - there is no w4 from 2009. Three waves into next year is nothing more than another corrective wave from a bigger correction.

      Delete
    2. there are many examples of 3 wave impulses especially ending structures. The Jan 09 to March 09 low is a good example. I don't care who makes the count as long as it's right. I initially thought that this couldn't be wave 4 because it was very fast, but the market does not look to be in a correction right now. Any dips will be bought. We will see 4000 before we see 2500.

      The public sentiment right now is the same as it was after the 2009 low. Everyone thought that's it the market is dead, the economy will never recover. There was alot of doom and gloom similar to right now.

      Delete
    3. You are just looking how to justify a count - pattern and waves and rules does not matter. Good luck.

  13. With the Neelys count, how do you fit the 9 year low 2024?
    And the low of wave E in 2027?

    Replies
    1. He says 5+ years for this triangle, 5 years are the end of 2024 early 2025 exactly the 4y/9y cycle low. The first two legs are very fast so longer than 5 years is not very realistic.

    2. So end 2024 end wave E and also wave 4?

    3. According his count yes, notice this is 4 from 2000 not 2009.

      Pattern and cycles are all that matter and all this great strength will be gone retraced again.
      The same strength which makes you feel confident is the guarantee it will happen. Speed and size of this move is a guarantee it is not sustainable and it will be retraced.

    2. Why the anger? You're partially correct. Yes, there will be a reversion to the mean but until then, don't fight the strength of this move. There will be plenty of indications the reversion is under way but don't be fooled by your bias

    2. The accuracy of wave counting depends upon the practitioner. Neely has been right since April 6 about this rally. Looking back, some of his posts since then are like looking into a crystal ball.

      Delete
    3. The problem with EW is so many try to look like experts and 99% have no clue what they are doing. So regularly wrong and the masses think EW does not work.
      Just look at all the experts with paid subscriptions and you will see the epic failure - they can not make a difference between impulse and zig-zag twice in row.

      I am not an expert, but I stick to the rules and corrective move is corrective move period.
      I do not know where Neely posts, I have just saw his long term count on his page - crazy but it fits perfect with my cycles. For the third leg I agree after that we will see:)

    Finally do you have a price target for UVXY?
