For Bulls and Bears, It’s Now Or Never

Wednesday’s action was a mirror image of Tuesday, except that the underlying technical indicators were stronger than the market averages on both days. The market still has to clear resistance and generate 13 week cycle buy signals to confirm that it is out of danger on the downside.

Not As Bad As It Looked, But Don’t Worry, It Could Get Worse

On Monday, support held and projections were pulled up to levels that were reached, all of which suggested that an intermediate low had been reached. Tuesday’s late fade raises questions, which this report attempts to answer.

Market Rebounds At Major Inflection Point But Is Not Out of Woods

The market reached major support on Friday and rebounded strongly yesterday to form what could be an intermediate bottom. Cycle projections rose to levels already reached and the market had entered a bottoming window in terms of time. Some indicators have flashed buy signals. But is that enough to call a bottom?

Bulls Make Last Stand At Critical Major Support Level

The market has fallen to a major support convergence at 1295 and is in a bottoming window time wise. That window stretches across the next two weeks. If the 1295 level breaks, ugly could get uglier. Here’s how much.

Market Oversold, But Breaking Down From Major Top Means More To Come

Several technical indicators have reached levels consistent with intermediate lows, but key support levels have been broken, and despite some signs of being oversold, the market remains vulnerable to further declines, both over the short run and the longer term as well. The market averages have broken down from an important top, and some...

Carve this market in butter

Drip, drip, drip goes the market. This can go on for a while, as few indicators have reached any kind of extreme. Cycle projections have been hit on the 13 week and 6 month cycles, but short term projections still point a little lower. This report presents the targets, carved in butter.

Market Peeks Over The Cliff’s Edge

Market Peeks Over The Cliff’s Edge

The market broke key support yesterday, but not by much. This morning it is attempting to regain that level. If successful, a 4 week cycle upturn could be under way, but the market would need to clear the 1355 area to have any room to run on the upside. If the market fails to...

Trading Tribe Awaits Smoke Signals From Fed Tribal Council

Trading Tribe Awaits Smoke Signals From Fed Tribal Council

The market has a heavy feel, like it’s going to break down, but until it does, I have to reserve judgment. Downside projections are just below the recent lows, and the period of highest cyclical vulnerability ends Monday. But what comes after that isn’t low vulnerability, it’s still a period of higher than normal...

Black and Blue Swan Could Spook Traders in Most Vulnerable Period

By the time the market closed on Thursday, even before Jamie The Demon got on the phone, the charts were sending little signals that things were about to get worse. Cycle alignments had said that the period of greatest vulnerability would last through next Monday. Now, suddenly we have a black and blue swan...

Testing Major Support, What To Expect Next

The market continues to test support. A close below 1345 would break several major support levels and trend channels. Some traders may be benchmarking the March low of 1340. If this test holds, the trading range would remain intact. This suggests what is likely to happen next if it does hold, and if it...

Down Phase May Not Do Much Damage

Critical support levels held on Monday. Time counts on the cycles suggest that the period of greatest vulnerability will last until next Monday. If the market doesn’t break major support at 1345-50 by then, then the trading range will be intact and set up for another rally. Conversely…

Sunday Night Massacre

Sunday Night Massacre

The futures are well below key support levels late Sunday night. The 4 week, 6-7 week, 13 week and 10-12 month cycles are now in gear in down phases, but if this downturn holds in the 1350 area then things could hold together and remain more or less rangebound for the next few months....

Market Nickel and Diming To Death

The market suddenly seems to be walking along on the edge of a cliff technically. One false move and it feels like it could fall over the edge. Short term, a 4 week cycle down phase seems to have started, and the 6-7 week cycle could join in. The big question is whether there’s...

Bored Market Still Wants To Go Up

Bored Market Still Wants To Go Up

The market remains in the doldrums, with every sign pointing to a continuation of the ennui. The 10-12 month cycle is ideally due to peak on Monday, but a variance of a month or two is normal. Unless key support lines are broken, the odds will continue to slightly favor a move to the...

Technical Signs Don’t Confirm Rally But The Trend Is Still Your Friend

Technical Signs Don’t Confirm Rally But The Trend Is Still Your Friend

The uptick in the averages was accompanied by only mixed indicator readings. The cycle projections, however, tilted a bit more bullish than yesterday’s readings. All downside projections have risen to levels already reached. As long as the market averages hold above uptrending support levels there should still be a chance for the market to...

Cycle Juxtaposition Could Tie Market In Knots for Months

The market’s drop yesterday changed nothing in the numbers or the chart patterns. Upside projections range from 1407, already done, on the 4 week cycle to 1425 on the 6-7 week cycle, and 1460-90 on the 10-12 month cycle, with an idealized peak target date of May 7. On the downside 13 week and...

Do bears do their business in the woods, or on The Street?

The market extended its little tear on Thursday and looks good for at least a test of the highs, with an initial projection of 1413 on the 4 week cycle. The 6-7 week cycle is now also clearly in an up phase. A 6 month cycle upturn is overdue but there’s no confirmation yet...

AAPL Has Short Coattails

The Nasdaq and SPX had big moves on the strength of the move in AAPL, but the Dow and screening measures were less enthusiastic. What happens next depends on whether the move continues and broadens out on Thursday. Short term cycles are in up phases. 13 week and 6 month cycle up phases could...

Will Bernanke Step On The Apple

There’s still a chance that the 6-7 week cycle up phase may show some strength, with the 6 month cycle possibly getting in gear as well over the next couple of days to make a run at the 10-12 month cycle projection of 1450. It depends on whether the enthusiasm over AAPL sticks through...

Mixed Bag of Numbers Tilting Down

More weakness today could indicate a failure in the 6-7 week cycle up phase, which could lead to the market quickly reaching the new 6 month cycle projection of 1327.

Stock Market Bulls Are Running Out of Time

Indicator patterns in all time frames seem to be becoming increasingly ambiguous. However, with short term cycles due for up phases, if they fail to turn up that would suggest that the longer term cycles are weakening, consistent with the 10-12 month cycle topping out.
