SPX Update: Do-or-Die Week for the Big Picture Wave Counts

On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) came within 6 points of its 2011 high.  If this high is broken, this would be an extremely significant event for the counts, since second waves cannot exceed the beginning of first ...

SPX Update: Market Ripe for at Least a One-Day Rally

Much as I'd like to give the bears something to be really excited about, yesterday's action wasn't terribly encouraging, and has left some questions about the decline from 1333-1300.  Yesterday's morning spike exceeded the 1320.06 high, and&n...

SPX and Dow Updates: Bears Fire a Shot Across the Bow

The bears finally showed a little bit of strength yesterday, although the decline was almost entirely retraced by day's end.  Before I get to the short-term bear counts, I'm going to present the slightly more bullish alternate, then...

SPX Update: Using Elliott Wave Theory to Choose Entries and Stop Losses

Yesterday the market formed a bearish reversal bar: it gapped higher at the open, but closed solidly in the red.  These types of bars sometimes indicate buying exhaustion. The market is now as overbought as I've seen it, and if this is still a be...

Market Completes False Upside Breakout

SPX (cash) opened weak, pulling the 2 day cycle to the sell side with a projection of 1308 in the initial moments which has been reached and slightly broken. As I completed this update, the projection looked to be around 1304.50. A 5 day cycle buy signal late yesterday has whipsawed from a weak...

Bears Get A Glimmer of An Opening

The market may have given bears a glimmer of light on Friday, but so far, that’s all it is, a glimmer. This report looks at what those glimmers are and the likelihood that they will lead to a real decline. Tweet

Same Old Same Old

Having repeated essentially the same analysis and forecast for seemingly the past 10 days, I won’t bore subscribers with more of the same tonight, especially since it’s late and you have enough to digest with the housing report and the free reports on unemployment claims and retail sales. Cycle projections were down slightly in...

Housing Fundamentals Improved, But Not Enough

Housing Fundamentals Improved, But Not Enough

Housing data in the past couple of months has been mixed. Lagging closed sales data shows prices declining. The problem with that is that the most current data represents sales closed in November, which for the most part were sales that went under contract in September. That tells us nothing about the current market....

SPX and BKX Update: The Moment of Truth

In a perfect world, the completion to the Minor (2) rally would mark a new high which exceeds the October top.  My preferred count of an ending diagonal suggests that perhaps the session today or tomorrow will finally complete that top. Sinc...

SPX and VIX Update: Indications this Rally Won’t Last

This market is a mixed bag of messy charts right now.  But many of the indicators I'm looking at are now suggesting the market is within 2% of a top -- potentially an extremely major top.  From an Elliott Wave perspective, it rema...

SPX and NDX Update: A Rally, or Just a Blip?

Yesterday, the market again traded right down into my target zone, but, as mentioned yesterday, there are now two solid reasons for shorts to be cautious at these levels: 1)  The alternate count suggested a bottom right in the target zo...

SPX and NDX Update: Targets Hit Again; and the Long-Term Projections

As I've examined the charts tonight, I've been looking for reasons why the big nasty third wave decline isn't starting.  I'm not finding too many.  Most of the individual stock charts I've looked at are in bad shape.  The one confus...

Market Morning Update 12/8/11

The ES futures are gyrating wildly between the 2 day cycle inner channel lines (red lines), interrupted by news noise bombs. The lower support line now at 1251 has just been slightly broken as I write this. The upper resistance line is around 1274. The centerline around which price has been gyrating is now...
