$SPX - Point A Target Reached


SPX has overshot the upper red line and reached the target for Point A exactly on time and price.  The behaviour of the rally is identical to the Cycle expanding formation.

SPX is trading in an expanding formation as predicted by the Deja Vu Cycle. In the Cycle, it does overshoot the red line to reach point A. Horizontal support held in April, and the Cycle accounts for that horizontal.

This is the 8th week that VIX has been trending up, and that is a serious warning. The behaviour of VIX is also evidence in support of the large Cycle continuing. However, for VIX to hit an extreme level of complacency it may decline closer to the mid-March bottom.

30min Chart
















The Deja Vu Cycle expanding formation is shown with the red lines. Notice that there is an overshoot at point A.

  1. SC,

    Are you ready to wait another 5-6 months for point Z?

    Because thats the next window of opportunity for a significant sell off.

    September - october 2013 VERY HIGH RISK period.

    Examples:

    The Panic of 1907 (October 1907)

    Black Tuesday, Thursday and Monday (October 1929)

    Black Monday (October 1987)

    The original "Black Day," Black Friday (1869), was in September

    Black Wednesday, Soros' raid on the British pound, is another September event

    September 2001 and 2008 single day point declines in the Dow were bigger than Black Monday 1987

    What date is it today?

    1. Point A to Point P is a sizable drop in this Cycle. I do agree though that the Z drop is larger and that comes later in the Cycle.

      Delete
  2. Yes, Point Z is a very large move in this Cycle. BUT look at what happens from Point A to Point P.

    That is a significant Cycle drop in itself!

    ReplyDelete
  3. The drop from Point A to Point P in this Cycle is likely more than 200 SPX points and less than 300 points.

  4. VIX is up again today, and was up yesterday. This is highly unusual with SPX up today and yesterday.

    We're on the cusp of a major turning point in the Cycle, and VIX agrees.

  5. SC, I am just cutting & pasting your own words.

    SPY - Crash Pattern Continues - Deja Vu Cycle

    A major crash of the scale that this Cycle predicts for 2013 is extremely rare. The Cycle predicts a measured decline of approximately 460 points to 1025 SPX during the first half of 2013. This represents an initial 31% measured decline potential for the market.

    ReplyDelete
  6. SC, thanks for the update! Very useful. This is the moment where bulls don't worry about their future and bears fed up with waiting...

  7. The Cycle predicted the sharp rally phase to start in November, and was correct. Timing for completion of the Sharp Rally Phase has been slower though since it has been a slow grinding rally.

    SPX near Point A, and the VIX indicating that the large Cycle likely to continue.

  8. "The Cycle predicted the sharp rally phase to start in November, and was correct."

    So it did not predict the 980 Crash target for 2012? These are your words, right? So you were WRONG?

  9. There were 3 plunges Nov, Dec, and April/May for a total of 350 SPX points. Bears did very well during that time period.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You made 350 pts? From what i read you were nickeling and diming your trades. LOL!!

      Be HONEST with yourself so you can move forward. Look at what you wrote the past 2.5 years. Tops, Bear Market, 980 S&P etc. Why not write about BULL Market, Buy the DIPS, SP 1600 instead of 980.

      Delete
    2. The bulls and the bears made money. 2012 was choppy. I bought all the major dips last year June, Nov, and Dec. Bought them all, and bullish charts were posted at these times.

      Delete
    3. Too BAD you did not post it. But we seen your posting your position in UVXY from 17 to 3 in July to September. LOL!!! How's that for a trade?

      Oh btw, we also seen your trades for this year, and that's what count. LOL!!!

      Once you make money, then let us know. For now you are DOWN 65% and 200 points are your shorts. LOL!!!

      Delete
    4. I've been waiting to build up aggressive short positions.

      The large Cycle is in play.

      Delete
    5. For now you are DOWN 65% and 200 points on your shorts. LOL!!! Let us know once you sell for a profit.

      Wouldn't it be easier to just be long this year instead of trying to catch each top?

      Delete
    6. I went long in Nov near the bottom of the Cycle. It is too dangerous up here to be long with the large Cycle top of this magnitude.

      Delete
    7. It seems like the Nov trade was the only good trade you made the past three years. Good job! Now let's talk about being down 200 points and 65%. What did you learn from this?

      Trying to catch a top is a dangerous game, huh? Imagine if you just bought and held every single dips. You would have been huge. Even if you held your xiv, you would have been upo 150%. Now, that's something to brag about.

      Delete
    8. The Cycle shows a large decline. That is what is important.

      Delete
  10. Just pointing out to the readers that you were bearish in early June 2012 calling for P3 down, and now here to tell everyone to "buy the dips" in S&P. More evidence of major market top near.

    Now that you are bullish the big crash is nearing.

  11. SC, do you have any sense of timing for the move from A to P?

    In looking at your charts above, the move from A to P seems much quicker than the move from N to A. Since N to A has taken about six months, that implies we might see P within the next month or two.

    On the other hand, the market seems to have taken several times as long from A to P as it spent in the expanding diagonal structure immediately prior to A. The market has been in that expanding diagonal since March (2 months). If the relative proportions hold, that implies P might be six months or more away.

    What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Good question. Yes, the expanding structure was slow to play out. The move from A to P can occur much quicker than it looks on the Cycle.

      Looking at the last chart N to A took 8 bars time. A to P was 2 bars time. The ratio can be similar to this so 6 months for N to A. A to P is about a quarter of the time. 6 weeks is a rough estimate.

      Of course we can gauge the timing better once the decline to P actually is underway and unfolding.

  12. Sc, if VIX still needs a complacency low drop to 11-12, then how can you say point A has been met? Wouldnt a drop in Vix mean another pop of SPX to 1700's?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Great question. The target for Point A has been met. It's just a target. That doesn't mean the rally is over just yet. I do think it is nearly so, and it looks about right compared to the Cycle.

      VIX is a strange beast. One possibility I am considering is that SPX may drop and then bounce to put in a lower high. VIX could test under 12 on that move.

      Delete
    2. Also sometimes VIX can make a decent size move with only small movement in SPX. Options expiration coming up.

      Delete
  13. Half today's SPX 1660 is 830. Good to remember for Z.

    ReplyDelete
  14. The mkt has almost reached my target of 1680, looking for 100 point pullback at most.

    We should then rally to new highs....my top call will be next year sometime at around 1850-1900.

    But who cares....trade what you see, live in the moment. Don't look for things that haven't formed yet.

    Still long UVXY at 5.92.

    Correct! That's why you are down 200 points and 65%. The cycle is what is important, not your returns.

  21. New to this blog, just a quick question about your Deja Vu Cycle on a larger scale chart that contains the "z" downside target ... are those Daily or Weekly bars?

    1. They are daily bars on the Cycle, but in SPX the Cycle has been playing out much slower. In SPX the bars have varied in time between weekly and monthly.

  22. PAYDAY,

    If your around, what is your sense on UVXY at the moment? I know you watch them much more than I do + being quite long myself at 5.92 it would be nice to have a different view.

    They do seem to be holding extremely well & look set to jump but I dont want to let my bias opinion get the better of me.

    Thanks.

    1. UVXY due for a bounce $7.5-8 ....getting tired of waiting. I added to my UVXY at 6.4 and $6 so you have better entry point.

      UVXY needs sustained move above $8 before change in trend imo.

      What works best is to watch VIX and exit UVXY on any VIX moves above 17-18 regardless of UVXY price...then add UVXY on any move below 13 VIX...so i've been buyer at these prices.

      Delete
    2. Of course, once VIX breaks thru the ceiling at 25 all bets are off, therefore I always keep a small core UVXY position as well.

      Delete
    3. Yes, there is resistance around $8. I think it'll test around that level, settle back, then breakout for real.

      Delete
  23. I think UVXY will likely pop to $7.50 to $8 initially. It is not clear that it has bottomed just yet though. If there is downside not likely much since SPX has already overshot the red line in the Cycle there SPX upside should be limited.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yes I tend to agree, my target is $7 - $7.50.

    Today might be a mini-IV down & then the final pop tomorrow / early next week.

    Replies
    1. There might a little shakeout on UVXY where it gaps down one day and then surges up to that $7.50 to $8 area.

      Delete
    2. The 50 dma for UVXY is at $7.24. I think it'll pop and test above that this time.

  25. Good to know the 50 dma, thanks....

    Not so sure we get a gap down this time round but I'm saving my chips just incase I'm wrong.

  47. Unknown, when the reversal happens, you wont know what hit you!

    First youll buy even more "on the dips"....even more once the 50 ema is hit.

    You'll "back up the truck" at the 200 ema...

    Then watch 4.5 yrs of gains evaporate in a few weeks.

    Anyone chasing this market is crazy! SPX already 185 pts ab0ve its 200 ema...that is a record. Even high than 160 pts in 2000 weeks before the 42% crash!

  49. SC - Would you describe the time from point A to P as immenient or can this linger on for several more weeks / months?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The Cycle topping process is very mature, therefore SPX is likely to top out and roll over very soon.

      In the Cycle, once it turns down at A then a decline to near the horizontal red line is next. I do expect a bounce near the horizontal, and lower high to form. For SPX bounce just above the red horizontal ~1560 or so to form lower high. This whole process is likely to take weeks.

      Once the horizontal red line breaks, the Cycle accelerates down. There is chop and rapid declines down to P.

      Delete
    2. How high do you see $VIX get on a drop to the red line? You said you expect UVXY to reach the teens on drop to P, how about the initial drop to the red line?

    3. With SPX testing near the red horizontal (probably just above), VIX 16.50 to 17.
