Stocks daily cycle low is impending.
We’ve got enough of a decline at this point that I can say with conviction the markets are moving down into their daily cycle low. The runaway scenario is still on the table as long as the SPX doesn’t drop below 2015 before bottoming.
But make no mistake, this is only a profit taking event to cool off sentiment.
Remember, the time to buy is when you are scared. We are going to get a great buying opportunity any day now. Once the daily cycle low (DCL) is complete, the second daily cycle will test the all-time highs.
One or two days more down days and the RSI (5) will reach oversold.
As long as the correction isn’t larger that 60 points, the runaway scenario is still on the table.
Either way though, once the daily cycle low (DCL) is done, the market is going to test the all-time highs before the intermediate cycle tops.
The McClellan oscillator is getting to levels that should force the DCL and turn the market back up. One or two more down days should do the trick.

Seasonality wise….
April 22 is way too long for the DCL. It’s due any day and even with this meager little pullback sentiment is cooling off rapidly. One or two more down days and bullish sentiment will be back below 20% bulls. That’s what we need to fuel the next leg up.
What if it does drop below 2015? Does that mean the ‘runaway’ move is nixed or just put on hold? just asking, not predicting anything.
I prefer we don’t have a runaway. Cycles become useless in a runaway. It’s easier to trade if we get normal DCL’s right on schedule.
So a move below 2015 would still just be a normal DCL and it would take the runaway bugaboo off the table.
You say “either way once the DCL is done the market is going to make a test of the all time highs.” So, are you saying that there will be a test of all time highs when the DCL is finished but if the drop is more than 60 points, a runaway move is no longer likely?
I’ll explain it this way. Retail traders assume that a deep correction is bad. It’s actually the opposite. Think of the market like a pendulum. The further it gets stretched in one direction the further it will snap back in the opposite once the selling pressure is exhausted. So a move below 2015, or even below 2000 isn’t a bad thing. It just creates a deeper oversold condition. And the deeper the oversold condition the more likely the market will rally hard enough to test the all-time highs during the second daily cycle.
A deep DCL causes a lot of traders to get short because most traders don’t understand cycles. They end up getting short right at the bottom of the cycle low. And the more of those there are the more have to cover and go the other way once the next leg up begins.
So while it seems counter intuitive, a deep DCL is not actually a bad thing for the market. It will create the fuel we need to make the test of the all-time highs during the next cycle. If the DCL can push the McClellen oscillator down to minus 80 or lower then I will guarantee we hit the all-time highs during the second daily cycle.
Sorry, you answered my question while I was typing. Thanks
I look at the charts, the low volume rally and the fact that almost all other stock markets are in clear cut bear markets and all I can conclude is that we will be taking out the lows of February fairly soon.
Don — You’re already stressing me out! Pour yourself a glass of wine and flip the Tv on 🙂
…and sit back and wait for triple digit Gold and Single digit GDX by the first quarter of 2017 🙂
I am over weight with inverse ETFs, (some 3X) so I suppose my outlook is biased somewhat. Perhaps I am seeing what I want to see.
Never never go all in …yes I too would be worried if I were you,but I’m much more conservative in my plays . I like a buffet plate if you will. A little bit of everything and wait for the money to come to me I don’t chase the money…and yes I am an option trade 90% of the time
Ok Gar… er…Muffin, no more questions today.
In A{PRIL, we come down 2nd week and on …

Next question
I’m quite sure he’ll be right, and probably still in the game to benefit unlike yourself who gets his time frames mixed up. You make long term directional calls but can’t hold anything more than a day. Maybe you’ll figure that out some day, you don’t have to worry about what anybody here is doing, you need a tick trading site or start playing video games.
I’ll cover my s&p short in 2-3 days and go long . If we reverse and break 1980 , I’ll go short again .
Hi Gary, Do the principles on gold miners and gold apply to silver? Does one have a great upside.

Steve has no cash, he is the only one I know that makes a trade yet never posts a chart….hes trading a fake account, hell my fake trial account was a cool million yesterday, lol
I’m still waiting in the US dollar . Lets see if it can finally break 95.0 to the upside . That might change the price of gold and stocks if it gets some traction . The dollar has been forgotten it seems. That could change everything if it gains steam , with disenchantment of all the debasing currencies around the world .
S&P 1600
No doubt about it. Then fed takes rate hikes off table and rally begins up to 1860. Then big decline and fed declares QE4
Time stamp this.
If markets move according to expected time frames, why are they always fooling everyone. There’s no way we test new highs when earnings are worst now than 6 months ago and economic conditions are still deteriorating. Nobody is talking global economic recession. Greece paying their scheduled bill is like as good as Yankees winning last year World Series.
Agree. CNBC’ers and muppets are about to get whipsawed to the downside. FED is still talking tuff about rate hikes – market will throw a tantrum soon
Actually most of the economic numbers have been improving.
With oil starting to rally convincingly out of its DCL it’s going to be tough for stocks to make much more headway lower. I’m guessing the DCL does hold above the 2015 level.
Nice work setting up dash board Gary…
Here is a snap of all the shorts this morning

And that would clarify a DCL correct?

Looks like Stevie is going to take it in the cheeks again, he can’t be right for more than a few hours when fighting a monster trend. He must like getting shtooped, of course these dinks will come out and tell us they covered at the bottom yesterday!
Mm with no chart to show entrance or exit times…Don’t get me wrong money can be made day trading, I just don’t like fighting for scraps from Janet’s table…. I want the whole meal.
Here we go, ladies. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-08/fed-hold-unexpected-meeting-under-expedited-procedures-monday-discuss-rates
Looks like today is decision day for ERX play Gary, best of luck
