$SPX - Freefall Alert!

I anticipate that SPX has topped at 1332, point B, on this spike higher from the March 16th, 2010 low.   

Next, I will calculate the decline to point C:

I have a very specific cycle that strongly correlates with the current pattern of trading and high today.  The calculations based on that cycle indicates that C = 1.382A.

A = 1344.07 Feb, 2010 high - 1249.05 March, 2010 low = 95.02 SPX points
C = 95.02 points x 1.382 = 131.32 points

Therefore the bottom at point C is calculated to be:

1332 - 131.32 points = 1200.68 SPX             

Furthermore, the length of time from the current 1332 top to the bottom calculated target at 1200.68 SPX should be equal in time to the March 16th 1249 bottom to current top 1332 (equal time cycle).  This is approximately 11 trading days in total, and therefore my estimate of the bottoming date is:

Friday, April 15th, 2011 bottom at 1200.68 SPX

These are approximations, and I expect accuracy to within a few points, and within a few days.  Also, notice (on the chart) the moderate decline to start with initially (in each yellow box), and then the acceleration down with a freefall.  The moderate decline should take about a week with the freefall to start in roughly 1 week's time.

I will be expanding on details of multiple cycles in agreement in further posts.   

In addition, this ABC move is corrective, with an aggressive rally up to the final 1352 SPX target to follow.

  3. Hmmmmmmm...........we shall see.

  4. Over on Traders-Talk, all the boys are talking about 'Zweig's Breadth Thrust' today, using the S&P. Zweig used the NYSE, so.... Very bullish, if true.

  5. My view is either a small pull back here to 1320ish and then another rip higher or we just rip higher into Mon-Tuesday then come off for a few days.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Looks good also the target , I was thinking below 1200 to the MA(200) daily - but time will tell.

    If the freefall as you say will begin in 1 week , thats near the EU rate hike date 7th April I think,, time will tell... everyone expecting rate hike in EU as of now

  7. Correlates with the DAX as currently traded on DEC top 7085. Target 6850.

  8. SC,
    I'm starting my cyclical journal.
    My view, soon to be datailed, here on test site:

    http://www.bnservices.it/cycles/

    I tried to keep it simple and not to expose calculation, maybe i'll do next. As you said, time is the limiting factor. Nice work here, as usual!

  9. One more test of 1332 would look ideal to me...

    ReplyDelete
  10. SC triple bearish divergence on SPX 30 min chart , triple bullish divergence in TZA

    ReplyDelete
  11. Thanks Sqwii. It is relatively rare that we could see such a large drop in such a short period of time. Exciting short opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  12. added last shorts here SPX 1329-1330 imho last chance to get them cheap

    I have a big rising bearish wedge on dow jones and SPX which is about to breakdown..............

    ReplyDelete
  13. The VIX and the $Dollar are both going to have to make some big spikes UP here soon,as well as some of the current leader stocks like AAPL taking some big haircuts...to get the SPX and the DJIA to get anything serious going on the downside here.We'll have to start with seeing if we can get a close below 1320 for starters.@ 1327 now.

    ReplyDelete
  14. How sick is this?!?!? One last run to 1333?
    Why this last 5 point uptick?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Slow pace today, and I don't see any action until 1332 is retested. Still early, we are going to burn some time here.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Pullback my be in at 1325 and now we move higher. If not then maybe drift into close.

    Still not even close to a sell signal.

    ReplyDelete
  17. this actually looks like it is starting. Action in the dollar this afternoon looked good

    ReplyDelete
  18. Drift into close worked out.

    Tomorrow will give more clues.

    ReplyDelete
  19. The Employment Report will be the deciding factor here, if we don't start selling tomorrow baring some unforseen event there really isn't anything to start a sell off. Heck, if radioactive rain water and contaminated sea water isn't a issue, what is?

  20. @SC -- Thanks very much for changing the Posting and Comments to black text on white background. So much easier to read.

  21. SC,

    Thanks so much for the update. No, can't say I was correct. I didn't expect B to retrace more than .782 of A, which makes me a bit cautious. With my gut as shrunken as Mr. Costanza's after pool, I'll proly get off at C = A.

    One other thing is, Atilla is usually few days early but he is not short yet. But I love your view and hope you enjoy the ride till the last drop!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Didn't Atilla say he wouldn't tell when he went short again, due to too many people piling on his trades?

    ReplyDelete
  23. EJOYS-Re Atilla-how can you say he's not short yet?? How can you know if he is or not-he said he wasn't going to post his new position-correct me if I'm wrong. My guess -and only a guess-is that he is short-right here-right now-re Sol's "history rhymes ect"

    ReplyDelete
  24. Does it matter what Atilla is doing or not doing? If you have followed his advice last two years, you have no money left. One who trade stocks cannot rely on a blogger to do business, he or she must stand on its own. It is not Sol or Atilla who decides the fate of the stock exchange, it is larger than that! I like this site and I like high-tech technical analyses, such the ones that SC makes, so please stop talking about what others do or not do. Tell me rather what you do yourself! That is interesting!

    It is just my wild guess that Atilla would at least let us know via twitter.

    F

    I've had high winning rate when my directional bias was aligned with Atilla's. For that reason I tend to check his stance. Went short at 1316 w/ 1333 stop. Will be flat at 1240ish.

    ReplyDelete
  26. ejoys, What's your time frame to get to the 1240's? I went short right around the same place as you with almost the same stop. My delema is I went short via April puts so time is a factor for me

    ReplyDelete
  27. Looks like were going to retest 1333. If we break through were done

    ReplyDelete
  28. Finnbo-you'd have no money left if you followed Atilla's calls?? Go back and look at his calls from last year before posting something like that please.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well, here we are testing 1332, and that makes this the perfect setup for bears. Hard reversal later today?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thanks SC! But what could change the sentiment! There must be a trigger and I cant see one right now.This is interesting http://www.zerohedge.com/article/labor-force-participation-rate-remains-25-year-low-642

    ReplyDelete
  31. We rejected the 1334 area for now. Copper down big today and dollar up. Have to see what happens.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The top pink line on my chart above is at 1334. We hit it and pushed just over, then reversed.

    One more backtest of that line would be best.

    ReplyDelete
  33. SC-this proves that you can't short without confirmation no matter how good your charts are,and yours are very good.The price you pay by waiting for confirmation is your insurance policy.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Your right, the sure way to go broke is trying to pick tops and bottoms. Who knows when a correction may happen but it doesn't look like it will now

    ReplyDelete
  35. As I thought........moving higher. Next level is 1340ish.

    Still nothing close to a sell signal.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well,today will all but sign the death certificate to the "big correction" scenario coming anytime soon. The trannies are less than 100 pt from an alltime high. Now thats bullish. The VIX has been slammed below 17 now...down over a pt today. The COMP is just about to go over 2800.Sometimes it just 'is what it is'.I'd say even if we get a one or 2 day pullback next week...we'd be lucky to see 1320 again.And that would be a stretch.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Not so fast, it doesn't "feel" like it, but keep in mind we only went 5 points above 2 days ago. Bears capitulating!

    What I find is that capturing 80% of a move is doable, capturing that last 20% is much more difficult. If we can make money 80% of the time, then excellent.

    I've been working on the vix chart, and actually I think it needed this last push down (I'll update the chart and show why on the weekend). Now very bullish and should start triangulating. First, it should head to about 20.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Maybe a double top in DJI 12400.

    ReplyDelete
  39. SC , your downside target of 1200 will now be changed right ?

    ReplyDelete
  40. US is broke, EU is broke. The only one with a big sack of new printed money is the FED. And it is not their money, it belongs to the children of the future. I feel sick of this teatre!

    ReplyDelete
  41. BTW, sorry for my English!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yes, Sqwii 1206 now would be the target. Time target remains the same.

    ReplyDelete
  43. SC: blog is online. Just updated my vision of S&P.

    You've been my first choice for link list :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think we get a reaction at 1340ish but don't see the hard move down you are looking for.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Excellent GGuy. Thanks and looking forward to your commentary!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Looks like 1340ish.......1310ish...........then higher to me but we will see.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have an odd feeling even the smart money thinks it is time to take some money off the table. Inflation and rate hikes around the corner and a potential goverment shut down next week. Last two hours have been weak.

    ReplyDelete
  48. H,

    stopped out. no position. not sure about timeframe. gonna ask SC AFTER the mkts start to move down.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Here is you "freefall"... micro style!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Maybe we close in red. 2,5 more points on the ES and we are under the 1326 line, 1321 next! Does anyone have any volyme figures?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Here is my 1332 SPX, probably act as support for today and bounce into the close. However, Monday looking good for bears. 1307 I'll say.

    I rarely grumble about the Fed, as I feel the cycles always overwhelm, and therefore Fed effect is minimal. I swear this should have stopped 1332-4. So Fed managed to get another 4 - what a nuisance. I see why Sol keeps things quiet.

  52. interesting sell off starting here...especially for a friday afternoon
