SP500 "almost finished with a large wave 1"I have not posted a SP500 chart for a while so I thought I would show how its going. So far its following along with my prediction. As you can see, if we do reach 2500, then a 10% market correction would bring it down to the bottom of the large channel trend line. I may try TVIX in June. I am pretty sure we are about to finish a very large Wave 1 of our mega Wave 5. Mega because this wave analysis extends way back to before the 1929 crash. Which was the end of a Mega wave 2. Sorry if you do not like my use of the word Mega.
We are, IMO, working on a mega wave 5. I am not expecting it to top until late 2019 at around the 3000 mark. And you know what comes after 5 mega waves up right. An equally proportional mega ABC correction. If I am correct, then this will be life altering for all of us for many many many years. I hate to think it but, there will probably be a big ass war if everyone is hurting that much.

SP500, SPY - The End is nearSP500 Daily Chart
Did you like my title? "The end is near". BUT NOT YET. I'll explain. First on this daily chart I would like to point out that we dropped a little bit over the last couple weeks. The hidden bearish divergence on the RSI below played out. But as you can also see, we have a larger hidden bullish divergence that has formed. Look at the last hidden bullish divergence and you can see how we made new highs shortly after. Well this divergence is a little bigger. So I do think we will be ramping up hear very soon and I do think we can reach somewhere around the 2500 range (to complete this larger 1st wave) before the larger corrective 2nd wave begins. Yes, only wave 2, not the END. That comes later. So lets look at some possible key events that could trigger the wave 2 correction. (and the correction should be a decent 10% drop). 1st, I do not think the FED will raise rates in May. Even if the market is up to 2500 at that point. The reason being is that I think the fear of the French election will keep the FED at bay. So there is a 2 round vote in France. The first one is April 23rd and the second is May 7th. I think the Brexit and Trump affect will win the day in France and Le Pen will be victorious. But the media wont say that. So that could have a similar affect as Brexit did. And thereby bring a little shock to the Markets. But that wont last long and we will start a hefty larger wave 3 of wave 5.
I will post my Monthly or weekly chart next to show you what I see is happening. This market has structure and it is playing out like I see it.
SP500 March 5th 2017Weekly Chart
I just thought I would do an update to where I think we are in the broader markets. 1st I thought I would post this weekly chart so you can see my count as to when the "BIG CRASH" might (might take place). I am thinking not until the next presidential election. That's just a guess. Nothing special about it. But I think the Trump policies, once allowed to happen, will be great and very hyper bullish for the markets. That, combined with the flight capital leaving Europe which will inevitably make it to our markets as Europe implodes will propel the market super high. Who knows, I might be conservative on my chart. Time will tell.
I think this spring we will get that correction that some people have been talking about. But before we do that larger pullback (which would be a wave 2 of the large wave 5) I think we will see the sp500 reach approximately 2500. I do think that we will get a rate hike in March but then, just like last time, we should shoot higher to that 2500 mark. This would encourage the Fed to raise again. The Fed likes to hike if the market shows it can handle it. For example, If we crashed down to 2000 with the March rate hike then I absolutely not believe they would raise again for a long long time because that would show weakness in the market. I will put up the daily next to show what I mean.
SP500 Rate Hike Feb 1st ?? I do believe soI have been giving it some thought and I have a feeling that there will be a rate hike on February 1st and I will list my reasons. #1) We are currently in the micro wave 5 which wont last until the March 14th Fed meeting. 2) The CME group has a FED Watch tool that gives a percentage for the likelihood for a rate hike for this year.....and for Feb 1st we are at 96%. #3) the RSI is showing a good sized bearish divergence that you can see below. #4) we have not had a DCL low since November 4th and we are about due. #5) the market barely took a hit at the last rate hike and now the DOW just broke 20,000 which usually lets the FED know that the market can handle a rate hike.
So then, if they do hike what could be expected for a drop in the SP500? If my wave count is correct and we are currently finishing wave 3...and this correction would be a wave 4, then we shouldn't be able to drop below the bold black line with the blue arrow which is 2194 max. But a more likely target for me would be the 100 DMA which should be approximately at 2210 - 2215 range by that time.
Last little tid bit> what looks reasonable for a target price by February 1st. Well, you will know on that day or the day before but I am thinking that we push up to just over 2300, maybe up to 2310. Which we are almost there. GL
sp500 spxI believe we are completing our minor wave 5 up to about 2300 2310 range in this bigger wave three. The FOMC rate hike estimation for February 1st is at 97%. I do believe they will hike again on that date being that the last one did nothing. This would also coincide with an overdue DCL. But if we are in fact in a bigger wave 3 then this correction should not be able to extend lower than the bold black line with the blue arrow pointing at it.
That's it, short and sweet. GL
SP500 Vix start of 2017Daily chart for SP500
So I saw someone else's idea about wave count with the SP500 and he may be correct. I was always wondering about the correction we had that ended in November. As you can see it dipped well below the August 15th peak. That is not suppose to happen if that was a Wave 4 corrective move. So another person had an idea that the end of the Brexit dip was nothing but the end of a very large correction from the previous large long rally. So I moved the wave count as it is now shown on the chart in blue. That would mean that we are just starting wave 4 correction which shouldn't be as deep (percentage) as wave 2 was. So that would bring this correction to most likely the purple line channel and at best we should not break the bold black horizontal line. A break of that black line would once again nullify this wave count. Not to mention, we are only due for a short term cycle correction "DCL" and not due for a ICL for a couple months. That being said, I am going to guess that we have the next rate hike on May 2nd which should help trigger the ICL to start.
I am currently in TVIX right now for a small gain. I do not see this dip lasting much longer this week. I do not think I will revisit the VIX until we are due for a bigger better drop in the SP500 DCL in March.
SP500 Christmas Time2HR Chart
At this point I do not believe that we will get a sell off before the end of the year. I know that usually happens for tax purposes but I have an alternative theory. I think a lot of people will not sell until after the 1st due to not wanting to have Obamas high tax rate affect them versus Trumps tax cuts next year. I think it will be difficult to get past the 2285 area as I just don't think it will break above the long term channel line. Tomorrow may show us the way as it appears we are in an ABCDE bull pennant. And the way it is set up suggests that the break out of that pennant will be a short lived push up. I am not sure about the holiday trading days but I will be trying to figure out a good entry for a short term trade on the VIX.
SP500 SPX TVIX Rate Hike ThoughtsTVIX Daily Chart
SO I decided to start off with the TVIX chart. I measured the price movement of TVIX during the last rate hike which equaled out to approx. 150% which I measured on this chart from a starting price of $10. Then I measured the flash crash that occurred before that which equaled 250% which I posted. Some interesting things (maybe wishful thinking). The Fed still raised rates a quarter percent even after that flash crash. The difference this coming week is that we are in rocket ship mode in the stock market. My hope is that the Fed says to itself, here is our chance to do a half point rate hike. That would be a bit of a surprise for the markets and then maybe just maybe we can reach the 200DMA for the TVIX chart which as you can see would also be near that 250% move.
The other thing I posted on this chart is a yellow circle that says "Approx target for the weekly BBand head poke". I will post the weekly for TVIX after this and show you the two head pokes above the BBands for both the flash crash and last years rate hike. SO I thought that is significant enough to through that on this daily chart of where I think that head poke range would be is there happened to be any consistency in that regard.
And no, I do not think we can possibly reach the 50MA for the weekly. Just a dream.
SP500 Italy Vote WeekendNothing too difficult here. I think that Italy will vote to leave the EU and we will have a little correction. BUT, I just don't think it will be that great. I am aiming for the blue box. In other words, a retracement to the 38% to 50% then bounce right before the rate hike. I do not think this vote will be as great as the Brexit because it appears to have been talked about sooo much that it is partially priced in, IMO.
I bought into TVIX for a short pop. I will post the chart as I see this playing out.
S&P 500 last week November 2016Daily Chart
We are still on track and have not yet made a micro wave 4 correction for this larger wave 5. This is the last week before the Italy vote. It appears that we will move up until maybe Friday. The vote is on Sunday the 4th so we should see a day or two drop starting Monday maybe down to the 2206 range. Then we could see another sharp move up like what happened after Brexit but of course not as huge as Brexit. If this plays out the way I am envisioning it, then I think we could see a hard push up to 2250 - 2280. There should be a great shorting opportunity for this rate hike.
That's my take on how this is going to work out. The black line marked with a red arrow is an exact measurement of the December 2015 drop including the time frame when it bottomed. This does not mean that we will follow this exactly but is useful for reference. And as you can see, depending on how high we go, the 61% retracement is right there at the long term trend line.
S&P 500 Nov 11Wow what a push. We completed micro wave 1 of the larger wave 5. We are consolidating in micro wave 2. Not sure where that will stop but it looks like it wants to walk along the top of that blue wedge. Then a real big push up for micro wave 3 should occur next. And by the looks of Wave 1, I would say it should hit the top of that black upper trend line. That little red line at about 2280, is a 100% gain of the larger wave 3. Not sure if we hit that or start a rounding top for micro wave 5 just like 3 and 1 did earlier in the year. But who cares. This sucker is flying and if this keeps up, which it looks like it will, we will have that rate hike. And with a rate hike from these heights, the gains on the Vix should be enormous. Can't wait.
If we do make it to that 2280 mark, look at the 61% Fib retracement for a correction. Its right near that bottom of that long term uptrend line. The point is, big money is ahead. Be ready for the drop. AND IT'S NOT A STOCK MARKET CRASH!!!! We will take off from after February and fly to the moon or at least much higher similarly to what happened in early 2016. We should reach 3000 by sometime in 2020. That's right! I said it. I don't care what you are hearing from the TV dumb asses. This ship will not go down until Europe and Japan go first. WE ARE THE CABOOSE! Always have been, always will be. And while Europe and then Japan fall apart, their money will find a safe haven in the US markets for a short while. Until its time for our Ginormous Super Hyper HOLY CRAP Bubble to burst. We should start to see perhaps a rounding top in the year 2020. And then it will be time for the cycles (Plural) to bring down the house. If you want to know how far down, Just draw a trend line from the bottom of the 2001 crash, then the bottom of the 2009 crash and extend it to about 2022. Then you will know just how bad its going to be. Personally, I am selling my house in the year 2020. No Joke. I'll by a mansion in 2022-2023 for a Yuge discount. But I am getting ahead of myself. Lets just focus on December 15th - 16th. Good Luck
SHORT ITIf the stock breaks below the 100MA, there is nothing left to support it. My bet is that it's going to go in the 31$ area. On top of that the elections are coming very quickly and this creates a lot of fear in the market. So if it breaks below the 100MA, I will be buying TVIX and VXX
15-Minute TVIX - ?Boring day so far. But once this pennant resolves, might have more idea of whats to come.
S&P 500 and possible VIX play4 hour chart for S&P 500
So as promised, here is my take on the S&P 500 and where I see things moving in the next two months.
I feel very confident that we have just completed the 4th corrective wave of this 5 wave impulse. As you can see, this 4th wave is shallow and complicated. And the 2nd wave (Brexit) is deep and cleaner. So all that is left is the 5th wave. I placed OI options price targets in the chart. I also measured what 50% and 75% gain of the 3rd wave would take us as far as the 5th wave is concerned. For the 50% growth price target, we would reach 2215-2216. For the 75% growth price target, we would reach 2240. However, price action will dictate the final outcome. I also measured the amount of time in days and bars for wave 3.
So what my analysis is pointing to, and what I am leaning towards, is a micro 5 wave growth, topping around the 2215 range (red line). I just don’t think we go much higher because it seems too steep for those OI price targets. Either way, it appears that we will make all time highs. (blue line signifies the last high) ATH’s will help solidify the Feds decision to raise rates as they would not raise rates if the market showed weakness like it has this last couple weeks. It appears we top around the end of November and start a steep ABC correction, with C being the big one that would coincide with the Interest Rate hike.
Unless we get a black swan event that triggers this fall (doubtful) I am pretty sure they raise rates in December. So I will be playing the VIX at the end of November. If anything changes then I will update this post.
And just to touch on Yellens latest comments. Of course she and others are going to start to be Dovish. They want the market to go up so they can raise rates. Talking like she is uncertain is BS and helps kick start this 5th wave.
So there it is, short and sweet. Hope you like it and hope it is helpful.
