Weekly preview

The market chose the bearish path topping and double top with divergences - normal this is the high for the move from the March low.

I had a mistake in the short term cycle chart, the high-low sequence was wrong now it is corrected. It is showing the same setup like the previous top - the cycle top was mid-April(like January 2020) and now we are seeing the price top. As I wrote last week this double top is of lower cycle degree so the topping should take 2 weeks instead of 4. By the way not all indices are making new highs as in February last year.


TRADING
Trading cycle - still above MA10, but the index looks very tired.... RSI is below the MA with divergences. The analysis is pointing to important high so it is time to be cautious.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - continued higher for double top into the area of several Fibo projections. It looks like completion of this red a-b-c.
The bullish case is expanded flat a-b-c green, than the crucial level is 4100. It should not move below it if this is only sideways pullback.... I doubt this.


Intermediate term - I see one big zig-zag up. You can count it as W-X-Y(red) classic EW, but there is no impulses just more zig-zags. More likely series of zig-zags A-B-C(yellow).
Again the trend line is around 4100 and it should hold for bullish outcome. I think it will be broken and MA50 will be tested.


Long term - the move from March 2020 should be completed. I expect 7-9 weeks lower and we will watch how big the decline will be.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - now looking ready for a top.
McClellan Oscillator - below zero with multiple divergences.
McClellan Summation Index - buy signal, but weak with divergences.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - buy signal.
Bullish Percentage - double top.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - short term divergence and turned lower.
Fear Indicator VIX - short term divergence.
Advance-Decline Issues - turned lower multiple divergence.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - possible 20d high waiting for confirmation on Monday. This 20d cycle seems very weak especially if you look other indices like NDX,DJ,DAX so I expect turn lower into cycle low of higher degree. The 20d lows - I have the feeling the current 10w cycle counts better with three longer 20d cycles instead of 4x20d cycles.
Corrected the high-low sequence and it is showing the top in mid-April.


Week 26 for the 40w cycle. I am big believer that the high-low sequence should be obeyed, which means the 40w cycle high was mid-April at week 33.


Tom Demark SEQUENTIAL AND COUNTDOWN - this technique spots areas of exhaustion.
We have the higher high and completed TD sequential on the weekly chart, now waiting for price flip.

  5. Back in February I said this is going to up for another few months, and you said no there is no way. Here we are in May and it's still going higher. Just some friendly advice, you need to change whatever method your using because it's clearly not working.

    1. Expected time window was late March to mid-April - the high was mid-April.
      Thank you for the advice I will not change anything.

  6. I've been watching this site for a few years now. The charts are presented very well. I enjoy reading the comments as well. But the thing that I find a little off are the implications that Elliot Wave and Cycle Analysis don't work. Sometimes they do. But the thing about Krasi's charts that is so enticing but also dangerous are the consistent sharp declines or even crashes that are forecasted in the drops. As a student of this site, I want to avoid any crashes when I am long. But I think that Krasi would benefit from having less crashes represented in terms of being accurate. But in terms of getting eyeballs, the forecasts of crashes makes this site tempting to follow. IMO

  7. While declines tend to be sharper than advances, there are times when the drop is more gradual than a crash. Maybe Krasi sees a crash coming and that's why he draws it that way. But as a trader/investor, I have to take these charts for interest rather than accuracy. I realize this is a free site as well and thankful for the comments and hard work. I hope that Krasi enjoys doing this site. I wouldn't feel bad if he lessened his workload by including less charts on the weekend update. IMO

  21. But Krasi said the bull market ended in 2018??? He has been saying it for a year.

  23. for es and ym at least, if there is a significant pop on nfp numbers tomorrow, it sets up a good short entry sunday night. a normal friday closes on a ramp melt up.

  28. current score guru's 6, krasi 0. so the same old thing. look for a stochastic daily top in es/spx next week and go short if rsi is divergent. rinse repeat.

    1. Lets compare apples with apples.
      Write in the comments when the "experts" see the top and how big the decline will be. Than in a few months we can compare. Not some yours fantasy score.

    2. David Hunter, 4700+ then massive decline

    3. nickson said mid may. not looking for a big drop like 2017. i think thats about right, 3950 ish. bannister still seeks higher, 4270.

  29. When did we saw the low to compare forecast and outcome?

    ReplyDelete
  30. My count cycles is a litte different, 18-03 10w high, 08-04 5w low, 16-04 5w high, 04-05 10w low, 29-04 20d high. So we have in the last 20d cycle high for the 40w high, maybe the next week the top.

    1. This is my modified model the highs have changed for one more 5w cycle, the lows are the same - https://invst.ly/uq34j
      Yes, the last 20d cycle for 18m high is running.

    2. Yes, this is my count too :)

    3. What's the point of updating your short-term counts - they are never right? But just yours, but all EW experts. Never seen a short term count pan out!

  32. Short pullback next week , then higher high into the third/fourth week of May seems most plausible now .

    On and on it goes .....

    ReplyDelete
  33. gee, a rise higher on nfp friday. who could have possibly guessed that?

  34. Hi Krasi Please replace "Turn Dates" below Links. It must be https://twitter.com/Willem82457275

    The Big turn is not long from now.

    I follow you now and than. To busy with other indicators. But now I will follow you every week. And with trillions in the markt and in the make 6 trillion a normal prediction is difficult. They blow up the dollar. But after 31 May (or 6-13 June) it is simple down down down til 2028(not in one line :-))

  35. short term - Monday a low open and direct up to the high at the end of the day or halfway Wallstreet the decline into 12/13 May. Than up into 19 May Than down into 24 May and the last up into 31 May. That could be a huge High. It all depends on the low this week on the 12/13 May. Trade safe :-)
