BTCUSD has retraced a Fibonacci .618 of the November 2021 to November 2022 bear market. Weekly CCI has a double bearish divergence. Weekly RSI has a bearish divergence in the overbought zone. If the high made on 01/11/24 holds, a multi-month decline to at least the November 2022 bottom could be underway.

At the SPX 12/28/23 high both CCI and RSI had bearish divergence after traveling into the overbought zone. Wave “1” is equal in time to wave “5” and both waves are nearly equal in growth rate. Also, sometimes markets can turn plus or minus two trading days from a full/new moon. There was a full moon on 12/27/23. This is a tremendous amount of evidence that...

My 12/19/23 post noted the SPX could make a significate peak in the first 15 – minutes of trading on 12/20/23 with a bullseye top target at 4874. The peak occurred mid – day at 4878. There’s a high probability a decline lasting several days, or a few weeks may have begun on 12/20/23. If the decline continues future posts will examine price and time targets for a...

This is a bear alert! This is a bear alert! Since the 10/27/23 bottom the SPX has been on a relentless rally. There’s a good chance the SPX could make an intermediate top early in the SPX session on 12/20/23. Daily RSI is deep in the overbought zone with a declining CCI – a strong signal of a possible drop lasting perhaps one or two weeks. Intra day Elliott...

The Dow Jones Industrial Average could be nearing the peak of an Elliott Wave - Expanding Flat - top. In this case Primary wave "B" A major top could happen in just a few weeks. If so the next decline could last for several months.

My prior post illustrated how using CCI with RSI can signal market turns. Currently the Germany 30 has a CCI bearish divergence with a very overbought RSI reading. A down turn in this index could be happening soon!

There are no perfect market indicators. However, traders can increase the chances of success by using two indicators in conjunction. For the S&P 500 (SPX) combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) could be helpful in discovering turns. Momentum divergences frequently hint of a potential trend reversal. The RSI is one...

On 12/08/23 the VIX made a new low in its decline from the high in early 2022. The vast majority of the time the SPX will make its ultimate top with a VIX at a higher bottom. Please note what happened in early 2022. This is just one example of several VIX bottoming divergences over a period of many years. The VIX is very effective at catching important SPX...

There are two potential time cycles due soon. The first is a Full Moon on 11/27/23. Sometime markets can turn on new/full moons – plus or minus two trading days. The second is a Fibonacci time cycle. The S&P 500 - 07/27/23 to 10/27/23 decline lasted 65 trading days (td) multiplied by the Fibonacci .382 ratio yields 25 td, added to 10/27/23 targets...

Currently only one of the eleven SPDR Sector funds is making a new all-time high. That’s the Technology sector (XLK). This is a huge bearish divergence! From XLK’s October 2022 bottom it has formed an extended Elliott Impulse pattern. The manic rally since its 10/26/23 bottom appears to be the final phase – Intermediate wave (5). XLK could soon reach an...

The buying panic that began on 10/27/23 could soon be at a termination point. The drop from 07/27/23 to 10/27/23 counts best as an Elliott wave Leading Diagonal Triangle. The wave count is valid if the SPX can remain below its 07/27/23 high at 4,607.07. MACD is overbought and RSI is nearly overbought. In panic spikes its common for momentum oscillators to...

On 11/08/23 Crude Oil Continuous contract chart (CL2!) hit the Fibonacci .618 retracemt level at 74.92. A break below this level could open the door for a move down to the 68.00 area. Daily RSI had only a minor bullish divergence on 11/08/23 and has yet to reach the oversold zone which begins at 30%.

The S&P 500 (SPX) July to October 2023 drop looks like a Leading Diagonal Triangle. The 3 – wave rally after the 10/27/23 bottom has hit the Fibonacci .618 retracement level which is frequently resistance. Both 2 – hour RSI and MACD have bearish divergences. The Dow Jones Industrials Average which I’ve recently posted about, is very close to a “DEATH CROSS”....

When the 50 – day MA crosses below the 200 – day MA its called a Death Cross and is a bearish signal. My studies of the Dow Industrials and the S&P 500 have shown that a significant bottom could occur - 1 to 11 trading days a after a Death Cross. Watch the DJI for a potential Death Cross signal!

The Crude Oil rally off the 10/06/23 bottom continued into 10/20/23 and hit the Fibonacci .666 or 2/3 retracement level. Hour RSI had a double bearish divergence at the top. Theres a high probability of Crude Oil declining to at least the 80.00 area. Seasonal patterns for Crude Oil are bearish until late December. A decline could reach the 75.00 area.

My prior SPX post noted a bullish trend may have begun. The SPX rallied into a gap area then on 10/12/23 sharply dropped lower. Its possible an Elliott wave series of "one's" and "two's" down from the SPX 7/27/23 top. This is a very bearish formation and could develop into a mini crash back to the October 2022 bottom. Watch the SPX - 200 - day moving...

My 10/07/23 Crude Oil post noted that after a 13% drop it could be due for a bounce. As of 10/13/23 it appears the bounce could be complete. Crude Oil has retraced a Fibonacci .50 of its 13% drop, and has taken the form of an Elliott wave Single Zigzag pattern. Also, Minor wave “A” is close to equal Minor wave “C”. The most common Fibonacci relationship in a...

When two of the three main U.S. stock indices; SPX, DJI, and IXIC do not confirm a new high/low it could signal a trend change. A bearish signal happened on 08/01/23 when the DJI was the only main U.S. stock index to make a new 2023. On 10/06/23 the DJI was the only Index to make a new post 08/01/23 decline low. October is seasonally a bearish month, however...
