SHORT-TERM: INDU HIGHER HIGH AHEAD BUT MAY CLOSE THE WEEK IN RED
Whether the 01/18 highs is the high, bears need at least show us a confirmed 1-2-3 Trend Change pattern first, so far none, so the only thing I can say now, is, well, let’s wait and see.
My best guess is:
- INDU will have a higher high the next week and so will SPX. But the higher high will not be a decisively breakout of the SPX 01/18 highs because chances are very good the INDU will have a weekly red bar the next week. So accordingly, the 1-2-3 Trend Change pattern, despite a slightly higher high could still be valid the next week. However, even the 1-2-3 Trend Change pattern could still be valid but so far I have no evidence to convince you that the 1-2-3 Trend Change pattern would be confirmed the next week (which I’m basically saying that I have no idea about the trend, LOL).
- If indeed there’s a higher high the next week, it most likely will be on 01/26. In another word is that 01/26 could be our next pivot day.
Let me begin with why INDU will have a higher high and so will SPX, and why INDU eventually will close the week in red?
The chart below is my main reasoning. When INDU was up 8 weeks in a row, the next week most likely was in red but a higher high was guaranteed in THE MOST RECENT YEARS. If back test the entire INDU history, then the next week is not guaranteed to be in red but short at the Friday’s close (that’s 01/21) and cover at the first down week close, it had 79% winning rate. So all in all, the conclusion for a INDU red the next week is somehow trustworthy.
If INDU does have a higher high, I expect SPX to follow, because 1.2.0 INDU Leads Market. By the way, I don’t mean that INDU really leads the market, simply because INDU consists of the most heavily weighted stocks in almost all the major indices and it’s only 30 stocks, so it’s easily being controlled. Big guys can use INDU to make the market look pretty or ugly to suit their needs.
Then why, if indeed there’s a higher high, it could be on 01/26?
Because FOMC is on 01/26. The chart below shows FOMC more often than not could be a pivot day. Besides, if you still remember, last year, the pivot days were clustered around day 25.
INTERMEDIATE-TERM: IN WAIT AND SEE MODE, WHETHER THE 01/18 HIGHS IS THE WAVE 5 HIGH REMAINS TO BE SEEN
Since even the short-term I have no answer for whether the pullback is over, so whether the intermediate-term was topped, we’ll have to wait and see. The chart below is just a concept, I’m not saying that we’ll from now on drop that far. Just want you to know once the correction starts, the general target should be SPX 1220 to 1230.
SEASONALITY: THE LAST 2 TRADING DAYS OF EACH MONTH SINCE AUGUST 2009 WERE BEARISH
The chart below says for itself – short at 01/27 close then cover at 01/31 close, odds are 15 out of 17.
