How far will the fifth wave spread?Greetings, dear friends. I hope you are having a productive week. I am happy to assist you in ensuring that all previous analyses are attached to each corresponding analysis. This will provide a comprehensive overview and help you make well-informed decisions. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you further. I want to share my market analysis ideas based on the Elliott Wave Principle with you. I am a fan of this principle and follow all the rules and guidelines for analyzing the market. However, please note that my ideas are based on my personal experience and may change over time. If there is an error in my analysis, I am open to re-analyzing it from the beginning and learning from my mistakes. It's important to understand that making an error in analysis is not a fault, but evading responsibility is. No one can analyze financial markets with 100% accuracy, but it's remarkable how close we can get. We analyze from multiple perspectives to consider all possibilities. Let's mention a few opinions and ideas! Based on mathematics. I am still practicing to understand the Elliott Wave Principle better and hope to provide an even better analysis in the future. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to our mutual success. Best regards, Mr. Nobody Keep trying and never give up. Good luck!

Gold. why we should keep gold as 1 of asset. 24/Nov/23Gold / XAUUSD (future) as an "touchable asset" for "ancient mankind" to "accumulate" wealth VS "equities market" an "virtual asset" for "modern mankind" to "accumulate" wealth. As US SP500 index = benchmark / gauge for where is the "richest men on earth wealth's "performance". One should understand and "read" where "the modern capitalisms" run without "bias" due to all medias "promoting" where should we invest our money. Beside many "Brokers" from Stocks, Real Estate etc not gold...

#SPX - 1Currently I see several possible scenarios for the possible price action. I will do my best to explain every possible move very clear, even though I think it will be a bit tough for me, because of such variety. ***Let’s begin with short term possible scenario.*** ***#SPX 1W TF*** I always give as possible play out for Longs, as for Shorts. In my opinion, if looking at the bigger picture - the Bullish trend will continue, for that I have several reasons. And about that I will write at the end of this article. *Now about the current chart.* **Next week**, possible that we will see some range with the continuation of the uptrend. If you look at **n.1** - I expect that #SPX will have some consolidation above the level **4500$.** (*This level is SUPER IMPORTANT. I was talking about it in my previous posts. It was standing as a very STRONG resistance for a WHILE.)* If we see that #SPX is loosing the support at **4500$** in this case, next important level to bounce is at **4395$. (n.2)** *(It is a new level, I was adding it as a new strong resistance level before, when SPX was in downtrend.)* And only loosing the support at **4395$,** will bring another crash**. (n.3)** In this case, I have all important support level already mentioned in the chart.

In-Depth Analysis of the S&P 500: November 2023 Recent Rally: The S&P 500 has shown remarkable resilience, rallying nearly 10% in November 2023. This surge has brought the index close to its 2023 intraday high, primarily driven by positive earnings among Big Tech companies and easing macroeconomic pressures​​. Current Position: As of now, the S&P 500 is positioned at approximately 4,514, which is just 2.1% short of its 2023 intraday high of 4,607​​. Market Sentiment: The absence of a significant sell-off post the recent gains indicates a continued optimism among investors, suggesting a potential continuation of the upward trajectory​​. Forward-Looking Insights 2024 Forecast: According to a Reuters poll, the S&P 500 is projected to end 2024 with a modest gain of around 3%, finishing at approximately 4,700. This outlook is underpinned by concerns of a U.S. economic slowdown or potential recession​​. Inflation and Interest Rates: There’s an anticipation of inflation deceleration, with a more than 50% chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut by May 2024. This could impact the S&P 500 positively, but Goldman Sachs suggests that rate cuts might not occur until the fourth quarter of 2024, aligning with stronger-than-expected economic growth​​. Earnings Growth: Earnings are expected to grow in the next six months, with overall S&P 500 earnings growth for 2023 estimated at 2.3%. For 2024, analysts predict a more robust earnings rise of 11.2% over the previous year​​. Sector Performance: The technology sector has been the best-performing sector in the S&P 500 for 2023, up 52% so far. This trend is expected to continue into 2024, reflecting the ongoing technology revolution​​. Analysis and Implications : Market Resilience: The S&P 500’s performance in 2023 highlights the resilience of the U.S. stock market, even in the face of macroeconomic uncertainties. The index’s rebound from its October lows signifies strong market sentiment and adaptability. Economic Indicators: The forecast for 2024, while modest, reflects cautious optimism. The dependency on inflation trends and Fed policies underscores the interconnectedness of the stock market with broader economic factors. Investment Strategy: Investors should consider the impact of these macroeconomic trends on their portfolios. With technology stocks leading the way, a focus on this sector could be beneficial. However, diversification remains key, given the uncertainties surrounding economic growth and interest rate policies. Conclusion The S&P 500’s performance in the latter part of 2023 and the outlook for 2024 suggest a market adapting to changing economic circumstances. While there are challenges ahead, the potential for continued growth, especially in the technology sector, offers opportunities for informed investment strategies. Investors should remain vigilant to changes in economic indicators, especially inflation and Fed policies, to navigate the evolving market landscape effectively.

XAP: Consumer Spending Will be the First Shoe to DropCME: S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index Futures ( CME_MINI:XAP1! ) Last week, new government data showed further evidence of declining U.S. inflation rates. • On November 14th, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was unchanged in October, down from 0.6% in August and 0.4% in September. The headline CPI is now 3.2%, down from 3.7%, on an annualized basis. • The Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2%, after rising 0.3% each in the previous two months. It is now 4.0%, down from 4.1%, on a 12-month basis. • On November 15th, the BLS reported that the U.S. Producer Price Index fell 0.5% in October, after advancing 0.4% in September. This decline is the largest since a 1.2% drop in April 2020. On an annualized basis, the PPI index rose 1.3%. • On November 16th, the BLS reported that U.S. import prices declined 0.8% in October, after a 0.4% rise in September. On an annualized basis, import prices declined 2.0%. • Prices for U.S. exports fell 1.1% in October, following a 0.5% rise the previous month. On an annualized basis, export prices declined 4.9%. Falling inflation rates are welcoming news. But it will be naïve to think that prices on store shelves are dropping. The harsh reality is that prices continue to rise, but at slower paces. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) is 307.7 in October 2023, up from 298.0 in October 2022, and 252.9 in October 2018. The overall price level for all U.S. goods and services increased a modest 3.2% from the prior-year level. However, the cumulative price increase in the last five years reaches 21.7%. CPI Index for Food is 325.7 in October 2023, up 13.4% year-over-year, and up a whopping 36.0% in 5 years (from 239.5 in October 2018). Consumer spending has been holding up well so far, supported by a solid jobs market. However, this is starting to change. Earlier this month, the BLS reported October job growth at 150K, down sharply from 297K in September and 324K in October 2022. U.S. consumers are struggling under record levels of debt: • Total Household Debt: $17.3 trillion • Auto Loans: $1.6 trillion • Credit Card Debt: $1.1 trillion • The worst part: Interest payments on $1.6 trillion of student loans restarted last month Their financial conditions are worsened by rising interest rates: • Credit Card: 25% • Used Cars: 14% • New Cars: 10% If the U.S. economy enters a soft landing, consumer spending will dwindle due to higher unemployment and higher debt load. Even if the Fed is successful in driving inflation down to 2%, current spending level is not substantiable with the already high prices. The Retail Sector Underperformed the Overall U.S. Market The stock market is already showing the warning sign: The S&P 500 gained 17.7% year-to-date as of Friday, while the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index declined 7.2%. The Consumer Staples sector consists of companies that provide goods and services that people use on a daily basis, like food, clothing, or other personal products. The S&P sector index currently consists of 38 companies. Retailers from Walmart, Target, Dollar General, Bath Body Works to McDonald’s all underperformed the S&P index this year. Last Thursday, Walmart reported Q3 earnings that exceeded Wall Street expectations. However, it struck a cautious tone with its Q4 outlook after seeing consumer spending weaken. Investors got spooked and the company’s shares slid more than 8%. Trading with Consumer Staples Index Futures In my opinion, U.S. retailers face strong headwinds this Holiday season. If sales could not hold up, stock prices could collapse. Unlike the Big Tech companies where investor sentiment alone could push prices higher, retailer stocks stick closer to the ground, where same-store sales and profit margins matter. The strong headwinds faced by the U.S retailers stem from potential decline in consumer spending. My rationale behind a negative view on consumer spending: • While living costs surge, consumers ration their purchases. This could mean downgrading from premium brands to store brands or holding off big-ticket items. • Higher monthly payments in mortgage, car loan, credit card bill, etc. reduce the discretionary income available for other spending. • Higher interest rates cause payments against floating-rate loans to skyrocket. When the credit limit is maxed out, the spending stop. • The cutdown in spending would speed up once unemployment rises. If a trader holds the view that consumer spending will decline, he could express it with a short position in CME Group’s E-Mini S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index Futures (XAP). XAP has a notional value of $100 x index value. At Friday closing price of 700.10, each December contract (XAPZ3) is worth $70,010. The minimum margins are $2,750 per contract. The upcoming “Black Friday” (November 24th) and “Cyber Monday” (November 27th) could be the make-or-break moments for retailers. Sector stocks could sharply rise or fall, as soon as sales data is released publicly. Hypothetically, if the trader is correct and XAP index falls 5% at 665, his short XAP position would have a theoretical return of $3,500 per contract (=35 X $100). The trader would lose money if the S&P continues to rise higher. Happy Trading.

December Selloff No Matter This Week’s MovementWith a few more days of data from the last analysis it is time to lay out the next possible paths. The index and markets are very much so overbought. A downturn is coming. No matter what happens this week, December will likely contain the next selloff. Does it continue tomorrow, or can the market find another new high above 4521 first? I will lay these out along with the reasoning and see which plays out. The continuing theory and first explored here is that Primary wave 2 ended with the top on November 15. If this is true we are somewhere in the early stages of Primary wave 3 which will ultimately move down as covered in the last analysis: Although Thursday continued to move down, Friday nearly lead to a new high which would have completely negated the theory Primary wave 2 was over. That near new high could have been the double top of resistance or a prelude for a new high later. I am trying to determine if the move down on midday Thursday was a micro wave 1 and the preceding move up was a micro wave 2, then at what wave degree was it? Primary wave 3 will be comprised of 5 Intermediate waves which I mark with pink alphanumeric values. The first of the Intermediate waves will contain 5 Minor waves which I mark yellow. The first Minor wave will contain 5 Minute waves which I mark in green. The wave 1 in question moved down 33.34 points after which wave 2 moved up 32.29 points. This was a retracement of 96.8506%. While this movement is common in double-top formations I went to the data to see what could happen next. I sorted my historical datasets to determine when similar retracements in a wave 2 occur in Minute wave series. There were only five occasions thus far in which a retracement greater than 96% occurred. If we just ended Minute wave 3, the likely next stop is a low between 4408 and 4457 over the next 11-49 hours. I then determined how much of the larger wave wave 1 comprises and wave 2 comprise to attempt an early estimate for the placement of Minute wave 5 and Minor wave 1’s endpoint. This is the larger white box with the green numeral 5 in it. The estimate is that Minor wave 1 would last between 40-100 hours with a bottom between 4370-4402. This is the theory plotted on the main chart as it is the leading theory, however the movement tomorrow will likely confirm or deny this reality. I further researched the 96% retracement but applied it to one macro level higher. Instead of assuming we were inside of Minor wave 1, I looked at the data if in Intermediate wave 1. I am already thinking we are moving too fast for this scenario, however, using the same data from before and searching Minor wave series there were 10 results. Minor wave 3 could end in the top yellow box and last 9-22 hours ending between 4463-4473. Similar to before, the entire Intermediate wave 1 could end between this Friday and next Tuesday between 4430-4463. This path will greatly shorten the overall length of Primary wave 3 if it plays out. For the third theory, I have moved the end points of Minor wave 3 and 4 around to reflect the ongoing effort of Minor wave 5. On a 30 minute chart, I get a wave 3 signal at 1100 on November 14. While this was originally believed to be a wave 3 signal and where Minor wave 3 ended, it could be the end of Minute wave 3 inside of Minor wave 3 instead. This could place the end of Minor wave 3 at the current high of 4521.17. Minor wave 4 would have followed at the low of 4487 at 1130 on November 16. Based on the models, most of the duration models are already busted last potential viable window is at wave 5 lasting 14-16 hours. The 16th hours is late Monday afternoon. Most models agree on a top between 4545-4555. As mentioned in a prior analysis, the highest ever retracement for this particular wave set was 89.08% which is at 4552.11 in the current case. Just because this is the maximum does not mean it cannot be broken. Before it was the maximum retracement something lower also held that title. I can also apply my new derivative modelling in solving this Minor wave 3 theory for a separate target area. The broadest area for the derivative model places the top between 4516.74-4538.76 between 2-19 hours. The next more specific target in this model is the yellow box. The most specific box is too small to display, however its values are important to note. The placed the length at 8-10 trading hours between 4520.65-4523.12. The derivative model sets a far lower target than the other modelling system. The most specific target is where the current top in this possible Minor wave 5 sits. It is possible the top occurred as this model projected while falling to move 100% of Minor wave 3’s movement. It is possible for a wave 5 to come close but fail to break above Minor wave 3. This circumstance would also mean the market moves down immediately, however, it cannot be confirmed this occurred until the waves in Primary wave 3 Intermediate 1 finalize to see if they have too many waves or not. Although the derivative model is still being tested, it has been highly accurate. I will move the endpoint for Minor wave 5 and Primary wave 2 below 4540 understanding the top could already be in. Going with the leading theory likely makes Primary wave 3 much longer than the last analysis forecasted which could put it more in line with my initial assessment of a bottom around May-June 2024. Theory two seriously shrinks the size, both duration and drop, to much less than initially forecasted. I currently see this as the least likely scenario. The third scenario would likely be confirmed on Monday or Tuesday this week. A holiday shortened week typically comes with larger price movement on low volume. This could see the new high achieved, however, the next key resistance is 4607 and would be tested quickly and appears to look less likely after this analysis. A new high will further move the market into overbought territory continuing the absolute certainty of a massive drop to follow.

First Projection of Next Stock Market DropOperating under the premise Primary wave 2 was finally finished or will soon, this is the preliminary peak at Primary 3 down. Here is the hourly: I am displaying the daily with the play button so it will be viewable forever on TradingView as the hourly will eventually stop loading (years from now). Things to note, Primary wave 2 was the third largest retracement of a Primary wave 2 inside a Cycle wave C in history according to my mapping of the S&P 500. I did not think it would reach this level, however, multiple models had secondary agreement of the top between 4515-4519 which was quite close. Will teach me not to ignore secondaries again. The initial models are looking at Primary wave C lasting 505-690 trading hours. For this initial projection I plotted the end around 600 hours. The final bottom was projected around 3450, but the median model placed future Intermediate wave 5 below 4400. This current wave structure is based on the initial premise of a 600 hour duration and drop of 1071 points. Again the structure is perfect world symmetrical and not likely totally accurate. I am using this as a guide and will update as we move. Bottom line, something major has to happen especially in the Intermediate wave 3. Initial call is down to 4100 for wave 1, up toward 4325 for wave 2, down to 3700 for wave 3, up to 3900 for wave 4 and final Primary wave 3 bottom around 3385. Will provide deeper analysis over the coming days. What is the cause of this massive projected slide? China-Taiwan? Semi-conductor manufacturing issues? Debt Bubble? Baby Boomer House Downsizing (cannot happen that fast)? More credit rating declines? Russia? US political party uncertainties? New wars? Other Black Swan?

Testing Theory One Moves Market…Last night I posited 3 theories: 1) We are still in Intermediate wave A up 2) Intermediate wave C (and Primary wave 2 up) will end this week 3) The market topped last Friday at the close I went into theories 2 and 3 last night but wanted to dedicate more time to theory 1 which will occur here. I first placed the Minor waves (yellow) where they likely ended. I believe everything through Minor wave 4 is accurate. The last step is to project what Minor wave 5 would do based on the data from all prior waves. The models provided me the levels to the far right (coloring coding is spelled out in METHODOLOGY below). I next reviewed possible model agreement for time and price. The lengths appeared to remain less than 16 hours in length. Most models were between 7-12 hours. Prices agreed the most at 4415-4419 with secondary agreement at 4430-4434. Prior to today the high was 4418 and today reached a new high at 4421.76. My target window based on this data remained between 4415-4435. I next applied my beta testing derivative model to the data. It provided the white, yellow, and green boxes. The white box contained all historical end points which means the market top will likely occur in this window. It spanned 3-11 hours between 4393-4454. The median data from the derivative model provided the smallest green box which topped at 4423 (just above the current high). Taking all of these separate models I determined the market top will likely be around 4430 and last 10 hours. I applied this to another program which takes historical data and determines how much each micro wave comprises of the larger macro wave’s final length and movement. I took those median values which the white path pivoted at. Minute wave 1 was expected to last 1 hour and top at 4371.54, wave 2 was 1 hour with a low at 4352.95, wave 3 was 3 hours long with a top at 4410.65, wave 4 lasted a single hour bottoming at 4386.35, and the final 3 hours were for wave 5 to top at 4426.67. I then plotted the green Minute wave numbers based on the actual market swings thus far. It appeared waves 1 and 2 were pretty spot on. Minute wave 3 likely lasted 2 more hours with a higher top at Friday’s high of 4418. Considering all of these models it is quite possible the current market top is in. The next leg of the adventures should be down. I will complete another analysis tomorrow projecting where Intermediate wave B could end. There is still a chance theory 2 from yesterday has occurred or will occur, but the ultimate direction for the next 1-2 weeks should be down. METHODOLOGY As a data scientist, I operate a modified wave theory loosely composed of rules and principles from Dow Theory and Elliott Wave Theory. All data is determined from comparing current wave locations with historical wave relationships. I develop theories based on suspected wave locations in time and lay out hypotheses to test. Once the movement occurs, I determine which path played out and repeat the process for the next movement. The light pink levels are based on most specific data, light blue is slightly broader, and yellow levels are the broader set of data used. A red level typically indicates maximum historical move for the current wave throughout the historical data. Derivative models take the annotated waves from the above methodology and compare specific ratioed-relationships to predict future movement based off of smallest standard deviations in processed models.

SPX And The CPI WeekThe S&P500 index SPX surged by +1.31% last week to close above 4400 resistance level. The index is showing that there's more potential is yet to come, to hit 4520 next. The week ahead: The meeting between US President Biden and China President Xi is the highlight; there is also US CPI and retail sales, the former being a key input into the Fed's policy deliberations; China activity data will also be released. Sectors that may witness higher volatility are; Big techs, EVs, Oil & Gas and Semiconductors stocks.

Drop soon, but how long?The movement of the past week has raised many questions as to where the market is which we will attempt to answer in this analysis. The long duration Intermediate wave A, followed up with a quick and tiny drop for Intermediate wave B presented characteristics I have compared to similar historical events. The best way to categorize this pattern is by comparing Wave A to Wave B’s duration (or hourly bars), movement, and rise over run or movement divided by duration. I took those values in the current case and compared them to historics to attempt to determine where Intermediate wave C could end. WHAT DOES WAVE C DO WHEN WAVE A IS AT LEAST 3x LONGER THAN WAVE B? Currently, wave A’s duration of 50 trading hours was 3.8462 times longer than wave B’s 13. I studied similar instance where the ratio between A and B’s bars were between 3 and 5 to determine what could happen next. Based on the results I took the prior ratios of A/C and applied it to wave A’s actual 50 bar length to determine what C could do. The results are a mix between 7 and 38 trading hours for wave C. Of note, these are all less than wave A’s length. If the max hold true, wave C and the market top could occur no later than this Friday, November 17 at 1230 eastern time. While 7 trading hours is the lowest value, it could be an outlier so moving to the next lowest at 21 trading hours could place the low on or after the final hour of trading on Tuesday, November 14. Using the same process, the potential tops based on the A/C ratio that are possible are 4489.87 and 4501.87. I do not like any others greater than 4503. I next move over to the same concept but based on the expressed BC ratio for historical waves where A to B’s bars were between 3 and 5. The potential lengths max out at 38 hours again with a tight grouping around 28-30 hours. 29 hours is the first hour of trading on November 16. Of the potential tops, 2 of them are in still in play but likely to be hit within the first 1-2 trading days of this week at 4422.27 and 4441.24. WHAT DOES WAVE C DO WHEN WAVE A’S MOVEMENT IS 6x LARGER THAN WAVE B’S MOVEMENT? Wave A’s movement of a 287.42 point gain divided by wave B’s paltry 47.26 point loss resulted in wave A being 6.0817 times larger than wave B. I studied historical occasions where wave A was 6 times larger than wave B to attempt to determine what could happen next. The potential lengths in this case appear to hold a 1:1 relationship which is why so many results indicate wave C can be 50 bars long. Some of these results are for micro waves wherein wave A may have only been 1 to 2 bars and the following wave C was also 1 to 2 bars. I will not consider the 50 bars as the current market is quite close to the top and 50 bars would take too long to get there. The potential lengths of interest appear to be in the 10 to 13, maybe 17 trading hour zone. Hour 10 will occur tomorrow within the first 3 hours of trading and hour 13 is later in the day. Hour 17 ends before 1230 eastern time on November 14. Nearly all of the project ed tops have occurred with the exception of 4478.88. While considering wave C from the B/C ratio and applying wave B’s length of 13 hours, all results point to 13 hours. This is not helpful, even though 13 is a length already derived and taken into consideration. Once again, most of the moves have already occurred except for four notables at 4433.11, 4446.68, 4462.09, and 4496.39. WHAT DOES WAVE C DO WHEN WAVE A’S RISE OVER RUN IS 1.5x LARGER THAN WAVE B’S RR? Wave A gained 287.42 points over 50 trading hours creating a rise over run of 5.7484. Wave B lost 47.26 points over 13 trading hours for a rise over run of 3.6354. Taking wave A’s value and dividing by wave B indicates Wave A was 1.5812 times larger. This is not an unusual value as B waves are corrective and most of the time shorter and retrace less than wave A moved. I researched similar instances where the A to B ratio was between 1.5 and 1.7 to determine possible wave C reactions. This generated a much larger list of results with 60 matches. Potential wave C lengths are 7, 8, 10, and 13. Potential market tops of 4459.37 and 4478.88 are possible. The values based on historic B/C rise over run relationships max out at a length of 13 bars again. The only potential tops to occur are 4451.35 and 4496.39. Another application of historical studies place lines correlating to percentages on charts for potential movement retracement and movement extensions. There is too much data to list all possible datapoints but overlap of the quartiles based on specific relationships tends to point to more likely targets. The light pink levels are based on most specific data, light blue is slightly broader, and yellow levels are the broader set of data used. A red level typically indicates maximum historical move for the current wave throughout the historical data. Potential reversal levels based on historic Intermediate wave Cs in Primary wave 2s have strongest agreement of reversal between 4415-4419, and secondary is 4430-4434. Similarly, based on data for waves ending in 2C2C, strongest agreement is at 4515-4519 with shared secondaries 4415-4419 and 4485-4489. Lastly, the broad data for waves ending in 2C indicates the market top could also be at 4415-4419, with secondaries at 4420-4425. Bottom Line Analysis: There are three major things to consider. The first is that all movement so far is only Intermediate wave A. While this is possible, Intermediate wave B will likely begin soon with a drop. The second theory is Intermediate wave C will end this week. We will likely see upward movement likely no higher than 4500 this week with my primary target below 4471 before Wednesday. I like the values between 4459-4462. Playing this second theory out, median historical models have Minor wave 1 inside of Intermediate wave C at 1 hour top at 4390.29, wave 2 down in 2 hours at 4349.60, wave 3 at 3 hours long high at 4423.27, wave 4 down to 4382.76 in an hour and final wave 5 to 4456.04 in 2 hours. Actual wave reversal points are: Some of our historical levels to consider pointed to a top around 4415-4416 to include. Some of our possible durations were at 7 trading hours as well which would have concluded with Friday’s close where the market peaked at 4418.03. Many models are hinting at the market top being in. After Friday’s market close, Moody’s downgraded the US Credit Rating. This could see declines on Monday. While I think theory two is possible, theory three cannot be discounted. We will see how trading begins on Monday and Theories 1 and 3 both should begin with declines on Monday, and it could take a week to actually know which one is unfolding. Once Primary wave 2 is over, I am initially projecting a near thousand-point loss in the S&P 500 index by May 2024. The cause is unknown, I have been looking at China invading Taiwan for over a year. I figure this could cripple the semiconductor industry which controls much of the things we use throughout the world whether a conflict destroys the manufacturing ability or hands monopolistic control to the Chinese, the outcome will likely be devasting in the short-term. Nearly everything in the world relies on a chip or component moving through Taiwan, as the world’s eggs are basically in one basket. METHODOLOGY As a data scientist, I operate a modified wave theory loosely composed of rules and principles from Dow Theory and Elliott Wave Theory. All data is determined from comparing current wave locations with historical wave relationships. I develop theories based on suspected wave locations in time and lay out hypotheses to test. Once the movement occurs, I determine which path played out and repeat the process for the next movement.

Weekly Update: Fire is MesmerizingAs we continue to subdivide within this larger cycle wave a down targeting the low 3,000 area, we appear to find ourselves in a countertrend b-wave retracement. This area has the potential to carve out potential complex patterns as b-waves and wave 4's are the areas where traders are frustrated from a sentiment standpoint. I do not think we should be prepared for an easy consolidation and additionally, I believe we could be for a while. Within this area price should behave within a range. It would not be uncommon to experience irregular corrective patterns that slightly exceed previous highs or lows. As a Pattern Analyst I have no mechanism to forecast these sub-divisions. My main reason I believe we stay contained within a range is based entirely on 2 aspects of data. (1) we have retraced much higher than in standard form, and (2) The IWM just completed it's b-wave triangle, and if recent history is any guide when comparing small caps to large caps is there appears to be 1-3 month lag in the broader markets. See my small cap analysis here . Nonetheless, what comes next is a c-wave. If you have followed me for a while, you'll know a c-wave down feels like a crash. I'm not saying the stock markets are about to crash...I'm simply saying that soon if you find yourself saying out loud, "This feels like the stock market is crashing" ...that's how you know you're in a c-wave. Are the bulls playing with fire here? My mom always told me that fire is mesmerizing, but don't you dare touch it. Best to all, Chris

Is This Rally About To Crumble?Minor wave 4, if it ended was a dud. But the models indicate Minor wave 5 and the Intermediate A top will come quick. The historical models indicate the market can now top as early as the second hour of trading tomorrow. Minor wave 3 is likely already through wave 3 as seen here: Based on a hypothetical top of 4384 the path in the image above outlines the rough movement. So far, the waves are underperforming this model which could indicate a market top below 4383. The overall analysis above is an early projection on Intermediate wave B's movement assuming Minor wave 5 tops at 4381 and within the second hour of trading on Tuesday. If either of these do not prove true, I will update this analysis tomorrow night. A slightly higher or longer duration to the top will likely raise the Intermediate wave B low and possibly extend Intermediate wave B's length. Strongest model agreement for the wave B bottom rests within 25-29 hours in length. The lowest white rectangle contains the area of most model agreement between 4130-4150. The next strongest is the yellow rectangle which is 4210-4230. The green rectangle is my current target box at 4180-4200. These wave Bs have a history of extending greater than 100% of the preceding A wave which could place the bottom below 4103 although the likelihood is not strong. Based on the projection of a bottom near 4188 in 27 bars, the Minor waves A, B, and C are roughly placed based on historical data. These are nominal placements and most of the time are too perfect and unlucky to occur as indicated. Normally wave A could be longer and wave B shorter or vice versa. The final consideration is the location of Intermediate wave B's endpoint. This movement was originally forecasted to take a slower route, however, the weeklong gains of Intermediate wave A are indicating Intermediate wave B can end before the close on Friday. If this occurs, the final end of Intermediate wave C and Primary wave 2 could end before December 1st as seen here: This would indicate December begins the massive downtrend from ~4430 all the way down to 3400 or lower (over the course of 4-6 months). I will continue to post updates on this original analysis or in new analyses as needed. METHODOLOGY: I operate a modified wave theory composed of Dow Theory and Elliott Wave Theory. All data is determined from comparing current wave locations with historical wave relationships. The listed percentages are based on previous movement extensions and retracement quartiles of the data. There is too much data to list all points but overlap of the quartiles based on specific relationships tends to point to more likely targets. The light pink levels are based on most specific data, light blue is slightly broader, and yellow levels are the broader set of data used. A red level typically indicates maximum historical move for the current wave throughout the historical data. Derivative models take the annotated waves from the above methodology and compare specific ratioed-relationships to predict future movement based off of smallest standard deviations in processed models. ***Currently in beta testing to determine efficacy***

I SPY CHART - TRENDS Sharing my chart for SPY for this week. This is nothing more than a preliminary trading plan that prepares me for movement in both directions. TBH, I'm not totally sure how it plays out yet, it's one of those moments where you have to keep reanalyzing in real time to adjust prices and trends. I can say with some certainty that there is a pretty good price drop coming, and I think I've identified the trend that will cause it (hot pink). I would watch for a trend break on that trend. If it played out like this, it wouldn't surprise me, but obviously, I would rely more on the trends and price targets vs the arrow path. Good luck! Honestly, if you miss a short entry on a steep drop, instead of jumping in way too late, consider a 3x leveraged ticker and buy in the bullish direction. Realize your profits, and you'll make just as much. LONG TERM is favored for bulls until some major trends break or WW3 starts. I have other charts that cover those projections.

SP500 Update 30.10.2023The SP500 index has been correcting since August. When we look at this correction, I also see that it is in line with the Elliot Wave principle. Last week, the index fell to $4115 and found the support level indicated by the volume profile indicator. I think that the index will find support around this level and return to the uptrend. Therefore, although I think that it will go down to $4060 this week, I think that it will close the week around the $4130 level. At such a close, I will receive a return confirmation. When I receive a return confirmation, I will review my share portfolio in the US stock market and make the necessary purchases.

This week’s top will depend on….The Minor wave 4 end point will determine if Minor wave 5 (and Intermediate wave A) ends this week. This corrective wave has been tremendous, but possibly too fast. Minor wave 3 thus far has already broken above the preliminary estimates for the end of Intermediate wave A. The initial Intermediate wave A locations were based on the idea Primary wave 2 would last 278 hours and gain a total of 307 points from the low of 4103 as outlined in this idea: The movement thus far about the initial Intermediate wave A endpoint indicates the final market top is now above 4416 as opposed to around 4385. Intermediate wave A is also on pace to finish this week which is a week early. This earlier finish could point to the final market top occurring in early- to mid-December instead of the final week. Minor wave 4 does not appear to have occurred last week. The hourly chart continued to achieve wave 3 signals until the final hour of trading on Friday (visible in the EW_3_V2 indicator at the bottom of the chart when the green bars stopped painting a light blue background). This appears to indicate the final 30 minutes on Friday began Minor wave 4 downward. This analysis will project Minor wave 4’s movement based on completed waves to this point. The new derivative model indicates likely movement zones based on historical data. The small green box is based on median move and duration data, while the yellow box contains the first through third of historical quartile data. The white box should contain the overall end point as it is comprised of all common historical movement. The percentage levels to the right are based on another model-type of relational wave data. The most specific quartile data are the pink levels with the top one at 38.01% being the first quartile, middle one of 47.67% as the median and the 72.04% level is the third quartile. The historical maximum wave 4 retracement is the red level at 84.72% and most likely will not come into play for the pending wave 4 down. The next slightly broader dataset are the light blue levels and the yellow levels are the broadest dataset used. Based on these models Monday should be somewhat of a downward moving day. I would speculate the low and end to Minor wave 4 occurs on Monday, but there is a chance it happens early Tuesday as well. Once Minor wave 4 is completed, Minor wave 5 should take the market up. A general Elliott wave principle is use nearly all of the time is the length of a third wave cannot be shorter than waves 1 and 5. Right now Minor wave 1 was 16 hours and wave 2 was only 14. This would indicate Minor wave 5 must be 14 hours or less. This means the market top for this week should occur prior to the close on Wednesday and then the market will begin Intermediate wave B’s downward movement for the next week and change. In the event Minor wave 3 did not end on Friday, then the market will likely achieve another high greater than 4373.62 within the first hour or two on Monday and then begin Minor wave 4’s downward movement. A new high after the first hour of trading makes Minor wave 3 equal to or longer than Minor wave 1’s movement and no longer restricts the length of Minor wave 5. Based on the accelerated pace and high achieved in Minor wave 3, Minor wave 5’s top this week likely wont go above 4420, but that will be determined better once Minor wave 4 has completed. Although a new high should occur this week, it does not appear this week will continue the red hot movement from last week.

ES: Fed Pivot Breathes Life into MarketsCME: E-Mini S&P 500 Options ( CME_MINI:ES1! ) Last Wednesday, investors cheered as the Fed kept interest rates unchanged for the second time in a row. On Friday, a soft jobs report backed up market expectations that the rate-hiking campaign is over. For the full week, the Dow was up by 5.07% in its best week since October 2022. The S&P was higher by 5.85% and the Nasdaq gained 6.61%. It was the best week for both indexes since November 2022. Investors Choose to Ignore What the Fed Says Stock market behavior shows that the Fed is still the dominant driver. Drilling down further, I find that what moves market is not the actual Fed action, but the expectation of what the Fed would do next. Very often, such market-moving expectations could be in direct contradiction of the Fed Chair’s public statement. At the post-FOMC press conference, the Fed Chair said that they had not made a decision for the next meeting. He also stated that pausing now would not prevent the Fed from raising rates again. The Fed Chair stressed that they had not discussed if or when to cut rates. The overarching focus now is to bring inflation down to the 2% target rate. Investors think otherwise. According to CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of keeping rates unchanged on the December 13th FOMC is 95.4% as of November 5th. By the FOMC meeting scheduled on May 1st, 2024, the odds for cutting rates by 25-50 bps are 71%. (Link: www.cmegroup.com) Investors acted upon their expectations. Prior to the Fed meeting, Treasury yields were rising sharply. 10Y rose from 4.5% to above 5.0% in 11 days. In the three days following the rate decision, 10Y took a nosedive and now back to 4.6%. This dramatic changes in yields took place while the Fed did nothing. The stock market rebound could be attributed to the change in expectations too. Lowering rates has the effect of raising the present value of future cash flows, thus increasing a company’s market value, as prescribed by the Discounted Cash Flow valuation method. The collapse of the US dollar is due to the expectations that it would not generate higher returns without further rate increases, according to interest-rate parity theory. Let’s look at two more examples: On July 26th, the Fed raised rates by 25 bps. This was the 11th consecutive rate hike. US stocks rose initially, with the major indexes going up 1-2%. Investors interpreted that this marked the end of Fed tightening. The expectations of Fed Pivot drove market higher, even though the Fed continued to stress the important for fighting inflation. The September 20th FOMC was the first Fed Pause. On face value, this should have been taken as a huge positive. However, investors believed that the Fed would raise rates one more time by year end. US stocks falls so much that both S&P and Nasdaq lost more than 10% from their high and entered contractionary territory. Trading with E-Mini S&P Options What’s the implication from the above observation? 1. Investors may have an easier time forecasting the Fed decision itself than the market reaction after worth. A 95% probability of a Fed Pause could not tell if the stock market would rise or fall after the decision is made. 2. Investor expectations could be adjusted very quickly. Following the Fed decision, the stock market could move up or down by 5% in a week. We could build an event-driven strategy focusing on the December 13th Fed meeting. If we think that the stock market would make a sizable move after the Fed decision, CME E-Mini S&P Options on Futures could be used to express this view. The trade would not be built by this single insight only. There are more: The November jobs report will be released on Friday, December 8th, and the November CPI data will be published on Tuesday, December 12th. These big reports, available to the Fed right before the FOMC, could have a major impact on its rate decision. More importantly, it could alter investor expectations and drive market volatility. The December 2023 contract (ESE3) will be expired on Friday, December 15th, two days after the FOMC. It is also the “Triple Witching Day”, where US stock index futures, stock index options, and single-stock options contracts all expire on the same trading day. My writeup from September shows that stock market is highly likely to make a big move on Triple Witching and on the days leading up to it. With big reports, Fed decision and Triple Witching all within one week, the stock market could enter wild swings as investors digest new data. Time is ripe for options traders. CME E-Mini S&P 500 Options provide leverage and capital efficiency. Options are based on futures contracts. Contract notional is $50 x S&P 500 Index. On the morning of November 6th, the December futures contract is quoted 4,384. The out-of-the-money (OTM) call strike 4,580 is the most active call options, with over 50,000 lots traded. If a trader purchases a call and it finishes at 100 points above the strike, she will realize a gain of $5,000 (=50 x 100), minus the upfront premium she paid. If the market moves against the trade, with the index value below the strike, she will lose money, up to but not beyond the upfront premium. The OTM put strike traded 1,023 lots. If the trader purchases a put and it finishes 100 points below strike, the trader will also make $5,000, minus the premium. If the market moves against the trade to finish above the put strike, the trader will lose money, up to but not beyond the upfront premium. Happy Trading.
