$SPX - Approach to the Summit

The market should dip Monday, but as pointed out in the last short term update, March 13th looks positive in the cycle analysis.  SPX should generally grind higher this week according to my cycle work.

Around March 16th or 19th may be most likely for the summit to be reached.  March 20th, and the majority of that week looks very negative, therefore, the decline is expected to commence around that time with the 1326 area at least to be tested next.

  1. Hi SC

    Silver will be topping and crashing when spx topped? I mean can we say there is true correlation between spx and silver with the same direction or something else?

    I would like to know your expectation; silver can we bought from these levels 34-34,40 (spot) or you expect lower prices before rally into 38 levels?

    Apprciated, thanks.

  2. There is correlation between SPX and Silver. They don't necessarily move exactly in tune and obviously % can be quite different.

    Yes, I do expect the correlation to continue. Silver looks attractive at these levels for a push higher this week.

  3. Hi SC

    looks like a good exit on the 13 according to your cycle work. Would you consider selling your UVXY tomorrow then? or just add to it cause you looking for bigger fish.

    what may be a target you may be looking for with UVXY tomorrow? and HVU?


    Thanks!

    1. I am planning to sell it around $30 or so, then pick it up again lower maybe $24 area. However, yes, my focus is shifting to larger "fish".

      Let my look at the levels on the other one. Thanks.

  4. It's possible SPX could come down lower than shown, 1358 or so.

  5. $33.40 for silver is a great opportunity

    Wasn't Silver suposed to rise this week? It's already down 0.60$.

    1. I agree with SC, I like Silver this week. I picked up HZU with Silver at $32.95. Starting to show strength now.

    2. Just a minor dip, still expecting a strong week for Silver overall.

    3. It's hard to see Silver going up to 38$ with all that is happening now unless the FOMC meeting tomorrow is bullish for metals.

  8. SC, where do you see HVU for an entry I assume on the 13th or so....

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. For UVXY I'm looking for $24 or so by/before March 20th. Then a run to $36, decent pullback, and a move to around $41 later this month. S&P should test that 1326 area at that time.

      So let me look at the other and see what those levels equate to.

      Delete
    2. SC, do you think HVU will hit $11 or $12 again this month?

      Delete
    3. For HVU small pop first, but the equivalent targets would be $6.4 by/before March 20th, run to $9.50, pullback, and then $10.90 for a target this month.

      Delete
    4. Chester, not likely $12, but I am targeting around that $11 area this month.

      I have VIX charts coming with targets for 2012.

  9. Looks like silver/gold may be heading down from here, my weekly/daily indicators are already dropping into the sell zone.. Dollar has aligned itself for another push higher.

  10. Hi SC

    UVXY currently at 27ish, unless we drop hard tomorrow, dont really see it go to 30 ish. Anyways, anything can happen.

    But question here is what if we dont get to 30 ish, would you be keeping your UVXY or just let go tomorrow and re-enter around 24 ish? OR hold it cause it aint dropping...


    Thanks!

    1. At this level I will just hold it. I still think it'll pop moderately soon (by/before the 15th) and I'll look to reposition. It can move differently than SPX and may not necessarily line up with timing for SPX.

    2. SC, Do you think there is a possibility that you can be 100% wrong about all of this? i.e. your timing is way off, by a few months for example?

      We have seen 0 confirmations so far to your "CRASH" theory.

      Delete
    3. It's not just my cycle, and symmetry theory. The market is confirming with the way the DAX, NDX, Financials are acting. It also fits with my large Silver pattern analysis. The pieces all fit from my point of view.

      The last time cycles also worked well with the market selling off into the 7th, and now rising into the 13th.

      Delete
    4. non-confirmations and divergences can go on for a long time. still does not answer my question though.

      so you think you can not be wrong about this scenario?

    My TRIN calculator issued a SELL yesterday & again TODAY
    MY daily market EKG was near 90% perfect today and shows a SELL OFF tomrrow.
    Jaywiz index Friday was 1.38-- too high for a sell off
    but
    today is at .70, not a screaming sell, but it will do
    THE DYNAMIC index pumped up a mid day high at 1:30today
    but drops off right after-
    tomorrow's not avail yet.
    WED, however SHOULD reverse any sell off tomrrow
    BUT Thsday & friday could set the spx back to 1330

    Thats where wave iv of 3(C) meets the 4th wave low of the previous degree

    There is a HUGE fibo & high energy CLUSTER on MARCh 22nd where spx could break out to 1400.

    THEN the END OF THE MONTH could be a very bearish ending
    More later

  15. What is the bottom for Silver?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Is it just me or are markets now polarized by data and FOMC announcements and ignorant of what is really important to market value?
    It seems that every other day the market is looking for this figure or numbers on this and stats on that.
    I just can't remember investors ever being this heavily addicted to this much insignificant jargon.
    In the mean time matters that really are significant seem to get swept aside until investors have no alternative but to take notice.
    Is it engineering by the finacial media or am I just dilussional?

    Replies
    1. Basically everyone who would buy has already bought. The shorts have beeen squeezed. So we have a vacuum under the market. Last week we saw the market erase a month of gains in a day. This is what happens when there are no buyers. That was a warning that larger moves are coming.

      Greece will likely be the focus next week.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. What it shows is strong demand for TVIX and UVXY. TVIX cannot issue more units so it trades at the premium, UVXY is in line with the VIX futures. UVXY has been outperforming when the market drops too. So it works both ways.

      What will be interesting is to see how TVIX acts when we see a sizable drop in the market...

  39. Hi,

    Do you have any analysis covering 2013 thru 2014? Do you expect a retest of 666 on the S&P within the next 2-3 years??

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I do have the analysis according to my big picture pattern, but have not shown that yet on the site.

      No, I do expect 980 SPX to hold, and I'll be bullish at that point. One of the few bulls...

      Delete
    2. Thanks. I've been trying to get a view on where 'objective' folks think the market is heading until around 2014-2015. I ignore perma-bulls and perma-bears. The range seems to be between S&P of 400-800. Some of the figures are:- 400 (Russell Napier), 500 (Charles Nenner and Felix Zulauf), 700 (Andre Gratian) and several others. I have no idea what to expect. The two 'extra' things which concern me for the next couple of years are the "Kondratieff Winter" and the end to the 120-year cycle, and a major war (possibly Iran & Israel and their allies). I just can't see a major bull run from here without some kind of financial cleansing. I do think sovereign debts are important and the US debt situation is abysmal - it's gone parabolic since the mid 90's. (Jim Sinclair even thinks fiat currencies will be wiped out by 2015!)

      Your low of 980 could well be proven correct..... (In any event, a lot lower than where we are today!). I am definitely bullish for the long term and have a substantial amount of cash to invest - I want to invest in income funds with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. I feel sure that in 20 years, the markets will be substantially higher and am just trying to get a feel for a reasonable time to get in. My personal view is that we'll get to around S&P 700. (That's purely based on an unscientific average on 'objective' views expressed in many blogs, and "expert" views etc.)

      Delete
    3. "I just can't see a major bull run from here without some kind of financial cleansing."

      I agree completely. The low last Oct 2011 was not a true capitulation. We need to see capitulation for a proper bull market to form. 980 is the level to watch in my opinion.

      The analysis is done, but I have not shown what my patterns look like after that 980 because I prefer to show the charts near the turning points. However, I do realize for planning purposes it is helpful to have understanding well beforehand. I see 980 as a mjor turning point.... I'll be a buyer there.

    2. There is more bank pass than fail...if they can write off Greece default as nothing, do you not think they can write off the few banks that failed (approximately 4 out of 19 bank failed, the rest passed, that is pretty bullish, you dont think so, those 4 bank aint all the biggest bank either)?

      from current level of 1390 ish to 1370 ish is about 20 points down from current level, you really think a few banks fail some test (remember it didnt happen in real life yet) will cause that much of a drop?
