Bottom before CPI followed by months of greenTesting for perceived location:
SubMillennial wave: 1
Grand SuperCycle wave: 5
SuperCycle wave: 2
Cycle wave: B
Primary wave: B
Intermediate wave: B
Location ID: 152BBB
This is an update on the progress of Primary wave B. My last analysis ( ) projected Intermediate wave A (inside of Primary wave B) to bottom on December 22 which appears to be the case for now. Minor waves 3 and 4 inside of Intermediate A did appear to hit their marks as well. Minute wave 3 in Minor wave 3 was confirmed on an hourly chart by using my Elliott Wave 3 Finder ( ). This would appear to confirm the location of Minor wave 3 and further confirm Intermediate wave A is over, even though the bottom was not as deep as projected.
The prior analysis also projected Intermediate wave B to top around 3925 by January 5. Due to Intermediate wave A not dropping as far, wave B may not reach this top. The following are the projections for the end of Intermediate wave B based on the assumed conclusion of Intermediate wave A. Intermediate wave A lasted 15 trading days, moved 278.13 for a rise over run of 18.542 points per day. The left most set of lines are for determining Intermediate wave B endpoints.
Based on waves ending in 2BBB, the length of Intermediate wave B may only be 3 to 4 days (which we are beyond at this point). The most current top was 4 days after the end of wave A which theoretically means Intermediate B could be over. In my opinion this movement would be quick and historical data for waves ending in 2BBB is very limited so let’s explore the other datasets first. The quartiles for movement retracement are at 39.28%, 56.545% and 73.81%. This would point to tops at 3896.48, 3954.49, and 4012.50 (the light blue lines on the chart).
Based on waves ending in BBB, the strongest model agreement for length is at 3 and 4 days again, with additional indications of 5 and 9 days long as well. The maximum lengths are generally only 60% of wave A’s move, while most are no higher than 33%. This would likely cap the length of wave A at 9 days, with a more likely cap at 5 days. Movement retracement quartiles are at 29.76%, 52.325%, and 68.64%. These are the yellow lines on the chart.
The largest dataset, and less specific, is for waves ending in BB. In order of strongest model agreement intermediate wave B could last 4 or 3 days. The third most agreement is a tie amongst 5, 8, 15, and 30 days. Fourth most agreement is at 9 and 11 trading days. Movement retracement quartiles are near the previous levels with the 3rd quartile being the outlier at 86.58% (the white level on the chart).
All datasets tend to point to a length around 3-4 days which has not only passed our current position but the current top was achieved on day 4. The level may have been lower than the quartiles from the models, however, it is in line with some of the historical movement. We will likely wait and see what happens next.
Based on what would have been expected of Intermediate wave B, we will now assume Intermediate B has completed and begin to forecast Intermediate wave C. The plots for Minor waves A and B and end point for Intermediate wave B are plotted on the chart. This also means this first week of 2023 should move below the high from December 29, 2022 for a few weeks.
============================================
Current location:
SubMillennial wave: 1
Grand SuperCycle wave: 5
SuperCycle wave: 2
Cycle wave: B
Primary wave: B
Intermediate wave: C
Location ID: 152BBC
The data for Intermediate wave A has not changed from above which was 15 trading days long, drop of 278.13 points for rise over run of 18.542. With the assessed conclusion of Intermediate wave B, it lasted 4 trading days, rose 35.81 points for a rise over run of 8.953 points/day. Intermediate wave B retraced wave A’s length by only 26.67% and retraced it’s movement by 12.88%. The centermost lines in the chart above outline the potential endpoints for Intermediate wave C.
Based on waves ending in 2BBC, Intermediate C could last 6, 8, 11, or 12 trading days. No one value stands out. The movement extension quartiles are very compact at 127.13%, 130.095%, 133.06%. These levels are light blue above.
Based on waves ending in BBC, the most model agreement has Intermediate wave C ending at 8 trading days. Secondary agreement is at 5 and 12 days. Many points all tie for third most agreement. The movement extension quartiles are 104.14%, 121.565%, 127.47%. The new levels are the yellow lines above.
Based on waves ending in BC, the most model agreement has Intermediate wave C ending at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 15 days. The second most agreement is at 5 trading days long. Third most agreement is at 16 days. The movement extension quartiles are at 108.66%, 133.315%, 147.17%. These levels are the white lines in the middle section above.
Based on all of these considerations it looks like we are in for a down week to begin 2023. I have placed the end of Intermediate wave C (which is also the end of Primary wave B around 3663 on January 11, 2023. That means we could drop a little less than 200 points over the next week and a half. All things considered with the market’s volatility over the past year, this will be slow and likely full of indecisive trading. The rightmost set of retracement lines outline the overall retracement of Primary wave B in relation to Primary wave A. This target bottom would place the overall retracement around 70% of Primary wave A’s gain of 600+ points.
What could be the catalyst for this final bottom? I have us rising strong until the summer of 2023 with highs above 4400-4600 range. January 10th and 11th will be quiet on the economic news front, however, the latest CPI read will be January 12th. This could be the catalyst. There are likely 2 ways to consider this number and things to remember. Inflation really accelerated one year ago. Inflation is likely high, but when considering where we were one year ago it should drop significantly. Therefore, the algorithmic trading computers will likely see a low print as a high win for the Fed and its monetary policies of the prior year. Although this is hiding a major issue, people will not care to look at the actual cause. A low print will start the moonshot the market is soon to face.
I will have plenty of time in the coming months to explain why the market top in mid-2023 will be followed by a likely 40-50% drop in the market, but who cares. Enjoy the quick gains and be ready to play it safe later.

Elliott Wave indicates another hot inflation reportWe believe we have finished Intermediate wave 3 after an extended Minor 5 and are somewhere into Intermediate wave 4 which should bottom soon. The full wave identity is 152BA4. Based on waves ending in 2BA4. Intermediate 4 will likely last no more than 3 trading days which would end tomorrow. The quartile movement retracements are at 20.04%, 26.20%, and 32.36%. We surpassed the 26.05% level today which was 3995.07. The 32.36% is the third quartile and that would place the bottom around 3970.31. These values are light blue.
Based on waves ending in BA4, most model agreement stands at a length of 1-2 days while 3 days remains likely. Regarding the retracement levels, the first quartile and median are repeated values while the third quartile is at 48.55% for a potential retracement. This would place the bottom around 39.05.20. These values are yellow on the chart
Finally, historic waves ending in only A4 provides many more datapoints, however they may be less concise from the precision provided in the prior two paragraphs. Strongest model agreement places the length at 2 days, followed by 1 day, then 6, 3, 10, and 4 days. Regarding the retracements, quartile values repeat again for the first two while the third quartile is near the 61.8% Fib (low at 3851.85)
Based on these datapoints, the models are leaning to a length of two total days for Intermediate 4 which would mean the bottom has already occurred at the time of writing. I am still leaning on a possibility of 3 days meaning we could see a new low early tomorrow before a likely rise into Intermediate wave 5 for which I will consider tops later.
Early thoughts has Intermediate wave 5 lasting around 5 trading days before we begin the next downturn. Early thoughts to the top should be slightly above current resistance setting up a bull trap and snap back down. These five trading days not including tomorrow (if we achieve a new low for Intermediate wave 4) would begin on Wednesday and end around early next week. This aligns with the Inflation report on Tuesday. If this is the catalyst, inflation likely rose higher than expected and Fed backtracks on cooling down in December which would re-spiral the market for the next month or two.
Now its Easter Inflation Rally ModeINTERMEDIATE WAVE 1
It is likely we have ended this wave although technically the index could still go lower for one more day. This analysis is based on the assumption we have ended wave 1 on April 11 as originally forecasted.
INTERMEDIATE WAVE 2
With wave 1 lasting only 9 days, I am expecting wave 2 to last 3-4. Most of the models agree at 4 days. Day 4 would be the Monday after Easter. My gut is leaning toward 3 days as there is a market holiday on Friday. It is most likely there will be lighter trading or jubilation at the start of earnings season that is dashed quickly (next week) by a rockier short-term inflation drag on future outlooks. Plus 3 days away from the markets can lead to longer uncertainty (Russia, Middle Eastern conflicts, oil, etc.). We do not have many price targets, but should see a decent rally for this holiday shortened week. It is likely the inflation numbers are swallowed better than expected starting tomorrow. We are looking at a 2.5% rally with potential tops above 4500. Historically wave 2’s ending in 32C2 retrace 58-70% (4522.84-4570.16) of wave 1’s movement. History says this is possible, but my more conservative target is 38-50% (4495-4522). This movement will also contain an ABC upward pattern, where wave B is downward. All price targets are:
4491.75 which is 36.42% retracement of Intermediate Wave 1 as ended on April 11
4496.95 ----------- 38.69%
4520.05 ----------- 48.78%
4525.52 ----------- 51.17%
4541.43 ----------- 58.12%
4551.46 ----------- 62.50%
4570.16 ----------- 70.67%
4585.15 ----------- 77.22%
4601.47 ----------- 84.35%
4614.27 ----------- 89.94%
INTERMEDIATE WAVE 3
Intermediate wave 3 is where we am forecasting the most significant downward movement still. This could be Russia related, but it will also occur during the bulk of earnings season. Our guess is the economic outlook, inflation, interest rates, transportation costs, along with the Fed’s pace and rate of rate increases will take center stage during earning calls. This outlook may look bleak in the near-term, but we continue to anticipate the market to find its bottom before the end of the summer and as early as mid-May. We will have Intermediate wave 3 forecasts once we appear to finish wave 2 (with the first projections this weekend).

LAC about to jump higher before the March stumble?Based on historical movement, the trough could occur anywhere in the larger red box. The final targets are in the green boxes. The pending top should occur within the larger green box as has been the historical case. Half of all movement has ended in the smaller green box. In this instance, the signal indicated BUY on March 4, 2022 with a closing price of 24.973.
If this instance is successful, that means the stock should rise to at least 25.11 which is the bottom of the larger green box. Three-quarters of all successful signals have the stock rise 3.579% from the signal closing price. This percentage is the bottom of the smaller green box. Half of all successful signals have the stock rise 8.399% which is the end point of the black dotted arrow. One-quarter of all successful signals have the stock rise 17.491% from the signal closing price which is the top of the smaller green box. The maximum rise on record would see a move to the top of the larger green box. These are the same concepts for the levels in the red boxes as well.
The ends/vertical sides of the boxes are determined in a similar fashion. The peak of the rise can occur as soon as the next trading bar after signal close, while the max rise occurs within the limit of study at 50 trading bars after the signal. A 0.4% rise must occur over the next 50 trading bars in order to be considered a success. Three-quarters of successful movement occur after at least 6 trading bars; half occur within 21 trading bars, and one-quarter require at least 40 trading bars.
The black dotted arrow represents median historical movement. Medians are a good metric, but they are just one of many I use when forecasting future movement.
As always, the stock could decline the very next bar after the signal without looking back (therefore the red boxes would not come into play) or the stock may never decline (and the green boxes may never come into play).
What we know and what we can't proveTrying to gauge the current wave is a tad taxing. We know Supercycle 1 ended at the beginning of 2022. This is followed by Supercycle wave 2 which is composed of an ABC corrective wave. The question is are we in the early stages of wave C and about to end Supercycle 2, or are we in the middle of wave A with plenty of plummeting ahead?
Historics would have Supercycle 2 end 49, 95, 104, 125, or 128 trading days after it began. Wave movements in the past 4 years have been getting quicker and more volatile which would point to a quicker end, but would these be the shortest wave 2 in relation to all other waves? Unlikely, but possible.
If we are in early wave C or early wave 3 (still in wave A) we should see drastic downward movement this week. I will re-evaluate if neither one of these pan out. The blocks under my red arrow contain the early estimates of where Supercycle wave 2 could end. The maximum length would have been 49 days. The lighter blue arrowed blocks contain my current estimates if we are in early wave C. These boxes should be met no later than February 17-28.
The other option is we are in the early stages of wave A's wave 3 which would see a bottom in a few more weeks followed by more major up and down swings. I do not like this scenario simply because Supercycle 2 would not end for a few months with a likely bottom below 3000. Historics says this level is way too low which is why I do not think Supercycle 2 will be prolonged. We will find out where we are by the end of February and if we can touch all-time highs again by April/May.
Can we lose 6% this week?I am short this week. Long for the following three. Short for the four after it.
We should start strong on Monday and finally end Intermediate Wave 4 early. Right now the models point to a bottom by Friday, that bottom is projected for the 4160 mark. This would mark the final bottom for Primary wave A which has been the downtrend since the beginning of the year. Next week, not this week, we should begin massive upward moves which should last a little less than a month. Early estimates have the market gaining around 14% after we find the bottom this week. After Primary wave B tops, March would be a blood bath again, with early forecasts of the bottom occurring below 3650.
Its A TRAP!!!The market should finish Intermediate Wave 4 today, possibly in the morning before we head down again to Groundhog Day. My models have the most agreement around 4436 for the top so that is my conservative top for now. Wave 5 still needs to take us below Intermediate Wave 3's bottom of 4222.62. Earliest guess is a bottom south of 4100 and relatively quick. I will readjust once wave 4 data is finalized.
Great news for most of February as it is rally time. But the rally will be short-lived. Earliest forecasts are gains around 11% off the bottom but this could change. We have one more major fall set for end of February and most of March. After that we will work back toward all-time highs.
Regarding the gap this morning is Fed-hype, maybe hoping the "jobs data" will delay the Fed's action. But reality will set in after the meeting that inflation is out of control, hence the drop to end this month. Then short-term memory will forget the last month as large company earnings trickle out in February which likely paints a semi-rosier picture than what we had from the inflation fears. Inflation is here to stay, the new prices we pay today WILL BE the lowest prices we pay from here on. Businesses will not slash prices once people are accustomed to paying them and the businesses are complacent with the profits.
Rough Estimate of SuperCycle 3 EndThis is an estimate of SuperCycle 3's end based on Cycle 1's makeup of the larger wave. While we may be correcting currently, it certainly will not last forever, and big gains appear likely in the future. I currently project SuperCycle 3 to end between 6475 & 7253.05 sometime between 2024 - 2027.
I will continue to update this projection as more time passes.
Crashing or Correcting? I say...This appears to be perfectly in line with an expected correction. Cycle 1 just end at the beginning of January, which was about 2 earlier than my initial estimates but that is why I call them estimates. Cycle 2 should bottom around early March.
Historically speaking, the second Cycle wave retraces the length of its wave 1 by 10-23%. The largest retracement was 39%, but corrections appear to be quicker and steeper these days so I am sticking with the 10-23% range as the likely zone for this one. A 23% could have this wave last 104 days which is late May. I would call this retracement the least likely. This date can serve as the maximum possible bottom.
The majority of historical datapoints suggest the end of this Cycle wave could end 44-48 trading days after it begun. This is the early March endpoint, discussed above. I have painted these narrow zones based off of typical wave 2 retracements of wave 1. The major zones for the bottom are between 3989.09-4166.66, 3800-3989.09, and 3605.84-3800. My initial rough math guess was a bottom around 3636, but I am favoring the middle zone here. We still have hundreds of points to shave off the index so I expect the next months to be rocky.
Remember Cycle wave 2 is a 3-wave pattern down (in this case). That means wave A will be down, wave B will move up, I will provide better estimates on that soon. Lastly wave C will take us home to the bottom.
My second analysis will be where I project the current SuperCycle to end, based on the end of Cycle 1.
Where Does The Index Go From HereThis is the plan based on the daily data tracking back to 1877 (my projected beginning of the Grand SuperCycle for you EW followers). Looking at a solid market top around the month of April 2022. I have charted the likely ups and downs to it. For now, looking at a near-term top around this Friday at noon which should begin a roughly 13-15 trading day drop of about 221 to 261 points. All other points are estimates for now.
I plan to update this path as we move through it. Wave 3 could provide great opportunities. After April 2022 will likely see many rough months, but have no fear as all-time highs will be back....eventually.
Walmart should lead the way over the next month of reboundBased on historical movement, the trough could occur anywhere in the larger red box. The final targets are in the green boxes.

Crown Castle historically rides much higher; Will it happen now?The full analysis is well worth the read. CCI signaled BUY 2 days ago. The delay in upward movement is between 1-3 days (the median delay is 1 day). We are beginning the third day today which means upward movement should be imminent. Of the 15 times the RSI algorithm has signaled on the daily chart has lead to the stock rising a minimum of 11% over the next 35 trading days. If history holds true, that means the stock could rise to at least 195 which is a significant jump. Of course this may also be the occasion for the stock to move up and the minimum movement be more around the area of just a few percent.
