Facebook’s price development is displaying a concise Elliott Wave patterning whilst adhering to geometric ratio and proportion measurements. The focus of this chart is to emphasise the close convergences of various fib-price-ratio measurements at precisely the same price levels – also, the strong price rejection that followed. These were derived by using three different measurements: 1) extending the first zig zag sequence (54.82-46.50) by a fib. 38.2% ratio to 43.32 – 2) extending the secondary zig zag (52.09-45.73) by a fib. 38.2% ratio to 43.30 – 3) extending intermediate wave (A) of the third zig zag sequence by a fib. 61.8% ratio to 43.34. The actual low traded late November at 43.55. We can even the 4th measurement – it tested the fib. 38.2% retracement level of primary wave 3. Ultimate upside targets and the larger picture will be introduced in today’s bonus EW-Compass section! Good luck and have a great weekend!

This weekly chart that depicts the larger upswing from the March ’09 low of 666.79 has been incorporated because it emphasizes the cyclic structure of the S&P’s price action. Especially a 62- and a 65-week cycle have been of great value during the last four years as they coincided with important tops. The interesting observation is that both the 62- and 65-week cycle indicate a high in the time band between now and mid-December.

S&P 500 weekly forecast

by m.tamosauskas| November 15, 2013 | 1 Comment

Back in the early 2011 we published this weekly S&P 500 forecast with ultimate upside target measured towards 1833.22. At that time it sounded a bit unrealistic taking into the account that S&P 500 had already made 600 points from the 2009 low. Well, now we are trading around 1790 and that translates into a 500 points advance. Now it seems like it was obvious, doesn’t it? 🙂

However, in 2012 we recognized a stronger fib. convergence at 2040 price level suggesting there is still enough upside potential left:

Even today the forecast remains the same and so far, there are no reasons to change it (of course, we will adapt to the market if it suddenly decides to do something crazy):

But the question is how do you feel now realizing that S&P 500 is headed for another 300 point boost? Sounds unrealistic as it was the case back in 2011. Momentum is obviously slowing (on a weekly basis), volume is waning, we are reaching extreme bullishness on various sentiment measurements and so on…  But does it prevent from further upside continuation? Our opinion is no, unless we get a clear reversal.  Quite opposite, we anticipate a panic spike up is set to follow once a healthy correction develops. A lesson to be learned – everything in the markets is possible!

A fib. 100% retracement level

by m.tamosauskas| November 8, 2013 | No Comments

One of the main Elliott Wave Theory rule says: wave 2 cannot retrace more than a fib. 100% of wave 1. It is allowed to erase all the gains/losses of wave 1 but it is not expected to create a new price extreme. The most common retracement level for wave 2 is a fib. 61.8% ratio, however, sometimes it does more, like 76.4% or 85.4%. I am pretty sure you have seen those examples in a real time trading but a 100% retracement level is really something special and rare, so it is worth to share such an example!

dj_utilities131108

Yesterday DJ Utilities Average Index retraced exactly a fib. 100% of the preceding decline (510.40-467.90). The counter-trend advance from the 467.90 low is composed of three waves and is labelled abc in minute degree, whilst the preceding price-swing is clearly a five wave expanding-impulse pattern. Traditional technical analysis this would describe as a double-top pattern, let’s see how this will unfold during the next several days!

Aussie$/US$ – CRB Cash Index Correlation

23_Aussie$US$131030a_Correlation

Commodity prices are one of the key factors in the Australian economy which combined with global growth and interest rates drives the Australian Dollar. There exists a high correlation between Aussie$/US$ and CRB cash index and by extrapolating the Elliott Wave count for one, we are a step ahead in determining the direction of the other. The base/precious metals component of the CRB-Cash index has been in a counter-trend decline since the index peaked into the May 2011 high of 370.72. The Aussie$/US$ peaked a few months later – in July ’13 at 1.1083. As can be seen, the correlation is not 100% accurate with allowance for a few weeks/months of delay in the larger directional trend changes. The clearest examples of negative divergence between these contracts can be found during the bottoming process in late ‘08/early ’09 and the topping process of May-July ’11. But eventually, the larger trend changes synchronise.

Our latest Elliott Wave analysis shows that the Aussie$/US$ has completed the entirety of its counter-trend decline that began from the July ’11 high into the August ’13 low of 0.8848 whilst the CRB-Cash index retains downside targets towards 472.51 during the next couple of months – this would then create another negative divergence prior to both synchronising in an accelerative advance that begins the last phase of the ‘inflation-pop’.

(The wave labelling for the Aussie$/US$ is shown in today’s EW-Compass report under specially featured bonus chart).

 

Forecast 2014

by m.tamosauskas| October 29, 2013 | No Comments

We would like to announce that finally the latest video release of WaveTrack International’s medium-term wave counts have been completed and are now available for viewing. This is a preview of price-forecasts for 2014 and is complimentary with your current EW-Compass subscription. We’ve listened to what you wanted – to view the larger patterns that are presented each week in the EW-Compass reports, and we’ve also added a lot more composite cycles as a guide in ‘timing’ some of the major trend changes for next year. The long and medium-term cycles for the S&P 500 update those originally shown in last year’s video, but we’ve also added similar periodicities for commodities, currencies and interest rates. A new monthly composite cycle for the S&P 500 provides a fascinating route-map for ending the ‘inflation-pop’ scenario – also, cycles have been created for the CRB-Cash index, Gold, Silver, Crude Oil – and for currencies, the US$ dollar index, the Euro/US$ and US$/Yen – for interest rates, the US30yr yield, US10yr yield and Europe’s DE10yr yield – it all forms an amazing picture of what lies around the corner.  The presentation includes 60 charts – too big for one video so it comes in two parts – Part I takes a look at trends for global Stock Indices, Part II for Commodities, Currencies & Interest Rates. Part I is available now, Part II will be released during the next week or two. Part I provides a refresher of the  ‘Shock-Pop-Drop’ scenario depicting the 18 year bear market for stock indices together with a progress report of price development within the second phase, the ‘inflation-pop’. The video will be uploaded into the ‘video’ tab located in the ‘text’ section of the ‘main-view’ area of the EW-Compass software. Become an EW-Compass report subscriber to see this video, if you already are – don’t hesitate to pass the word around that these forecasts are now available! All the best, WaveTrack analyst team.

Eurostoxx 50

06_EuroStox131018

This week lets take a look at European market. By perfectly trading into original upside objectives at 3058.72, the Eurostoxx has set the stage for a reversal from current levels. This would confirm the completion of the entire leading-contracting diagonal that dates back to the 2011 low of 1935.89 and set the stage for a larger decline in the months ahead. Interim downside support is measured to 2744.45 and ultimate targets to 2567.38, the fib. 38.2% retracement.

S&P 500

The S&P is now approaching ultimate upside objectives to 1740.00+/-. The probability of a reversal from there is deemed very high. An important indication is the price behaviour of European stocks which – formerly outperforming – have been showing signs of waning momentum for the last days. A reversal from 1740.00+/- would prompt a sustained decline in the months ahead, with ultimate downside measured to 1540.00+/-. Failure to reverse from 1740.00+/- could extend upside to the upper boundary line of the ending-diagonal that measures to 1750.00+/-.

S&P 500 Updated

Intermediate wave (3) that began from the June ’12 low of 1266.74 is shown unfolding into a five wave expanding-impulse sequence, subdividing into minor degree, i-ii-iii-iv-v. In this ‘preferential’ count, wave iii. is shown to have completed at the May ’13 high of 1687.18 followed by wave iv. to 1560.33. Subsequent wave v. is taking the shape of an ending-expanding diagonal pattern – upside targets are measured to 1740.00+/- by a fib. 61.8% extension of the finalising 4-5-4-5 sequence.

One more push up?

One of our Elliott Wave counts on S&P 500 allows a higher high to trade prior a decline towards 1540.00+/-. This is also suggested by a short-term BUY signal on VIX:

VIX10004

However, more and more weakness can be found around other global stock indices, especially Asia.
