Silver Bear Market Cycle:

$VIX - Cycle Update - First Yellow Arrow Target Reached!

VIX completed the three blue arrows, and has, in fact, declined as predicted by the Cycle.

The first yellow arrow target has been reached both in terms of timing and price.  VIX should be near the yellow arrow Cycle low currently.

Next, the Cycle shows VIX advancing up to test approximately 16's near the red line again.  In accordance with the Cycle, it will likely be a violent spike up for VIX.  Timing is anticipated to be due late July.

VIX Cycle 1:

$VIX - Cycle Update - Three Blue Arrows

The blue arrow Cycle high appears to be complete.  The Cycle predicted the VIX high would consist of three spikes.  That has, in fact, been the case.  The Cycle continues.

Therefore next, VIX should decline short term to the yellow arrow Cycle low.  VIX around 10 looks possible for the yellow arrow low.

The Cycle suggests a volatile summer ahead though.  Assuming the Cycle continues to play out at the current pace, the first yellow arrow low is due in a month or so.

VIX Cycle 1:

$SPX - Major Trendline to be Tested

SPX is peaking with a decline anticipated for the rest of the year.  The current market is simply quite overextended, and exhausted.

In contrast, VIX bottomed in March of 2013 - a year ago.  VIX has been rising for over a year, and that is a clear warning signal.

A decline for SPX is likely to be choppy with significant bounces on the way down as it corrects to the trendline from 2009.  A 250 point decline is estimated for SPX from the current level, and that represents a 13% decline.

$VIX - Forecast Update

VIX held the support level specified in the VIX forecast.  As well, VIX also surged up last week in tune with the rise shown in the VIX forecast.

VIX tested the midfork on Friday, and some mild resistance for several days could be expected.  Short term, the next high is targeted for VIX late this month.

Overall the VIX Cycle shows an elevated VIX for a couple more months.

$VIX - 2 Month Forecast

VIX is currently finding support at the turquoise fork, and around the pink support line.  It is a very strong level of geometric support for VIX.

VIX Cycle 1:

$VIX - Cycle Continues - Blue Arrow

VIX reached the target area and blue arrow Cycle high.  Currently, VIX is near the pink support. 

The Cycle shows two more peaks coming.  The next peak is due in February and another in late March or April according to the Cycle. 

Therefore, VIX is likely to find support soon and rise sharply to the next peak.  The next peak for VIX may even be slightly higher than the blue arrow.
