Weekly preview

20d low and higher as expected. I would say the indices are close to important high - the end of the sideways correction.
The pattern - it is complex, the indices look different, but it is mature so I would say near completition. Cycles - in the time frame for 18m high. Market breadth - moving higher, do not show signs for a top.
This is the current situation waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks.


TRADING
Trading trigger - buy signal, overdue for a top.
Analysis - long term sell the rips, we have major top. Intermediate term high next week and lower for 2-3 months.

P.S. - for a trade both analysis and trigger should point in the same direction.


TECHNICAL PICTURE and ELLIOTT WAVES
Short term - this wave up looks like impulse which fits with w-x-y zig-zag+flat.


Intermediate term - I think the indices are close to the top of the correction. It is a complex pattern there is different possible combinations and I am not sure where the B-wave starts - in June or October.


Long term - most likely huge double zig-zag from the 2009 low B-wave was completed and multi year decline has started. If we are lucky it is lower degree b-wave.


MARKET BREADTH INDICATORS
Market Breadth Indicators - the same pointing higher.
McClellan Oscillator - lower high after overbought level.
McClellan Summation Index - buy signal.
Weekly Stochastic of the Summation Index - buy signal.
Bullish Percentage - in the middle of the range.
Percent of Stocks above MA50 - in the middle of the range.
Fear Indicator VIX - heading lower, another test of the long term trend line.
Advance-Decline Issues - close to overbought levels.


HURST CYCLES
Short term cycles - looks like 5w low this week and continuation higher.... expect M shape top.


Week 5 for the 20w cycle. This is week 19 for the 20w cycle high and week 35 for the 40w cycle high - the average is 16-18/32-36 weeks so the indices are in the time window for a high.
Do not exclude the option for 18m low in June.2022 - in this case final sell off is imminent and 4y cycle low in September/October.

  2. What do you mean by this - "Week 5 for the 20w cycle. This is week 19 for the 20w cycle high"

    1. Week 5 for the 20w cycle - low to low. In theory there is only cycles counting low to low and this is the "normal" cycle - 20w or whatever.
      I use high to high too - 20w cycle high for example.

    1. The current 20d cycle looks right translated so in theory after a pullback we should see higher high or least to be tested like in December/February.
      Intermediate term the pattern and cycles feel like important top.

  5. Current thoughts:
    Pattern - https://invst.ly/-tegw
    Cycle - https://invst.ly/-tei0

    The triangle b-wave will complete 20d cycle low.
    One more push higher c-wave 20d/5w cycle high - most likely top of a higher degree too.
