4/21 pre-open
Back and rested. Since the quake I1 has lead the stock market by a decreasing interval. I1 does not invert but is winding down a lead (the stock market lagging). The quake occurred March 11, after I1 had bottomed on the 6th. The stock market bottomed 6 days later and rallied to a peak which was 5 days after the I1 peak. It then hit a trough 3 days after the I1 trough, but the S&P credit outlook announcement knocked the market down to a lower low 2 days later. Now we should have a 2 day lead, so with the 18th-19th I1 peak the 21st should be the stock market peak, which occurred overnight.
I entered core positions and am now waiting on short-term M/As to increase positions. First DJ 10-minute M/A - 37 points has a flash point of 12,410 June futures.
Nasdaq futures should trigger with their 15-minute M/A - 7.5 points. This has a current flash point of 2370.
I'm using gold's 10-minute M/A -4.3 points as a trigger for gold and silver shorts. Current flash point: 1498.70.
The SPX cycle composite is complete:

Hi Steve - I've recently been following your blog and have a few questions.
ReplyDeleteBased on your I1 analysis, do you believe that SP 1344 cash won't be exceeded for many many years and that a major down leg has started ?
And do you believe the same is true for gold and silver ?
If so, it would seem to be a safe time to short and hold.
Thanks.
Cynthia, I rarely take core positions. I took stock shorts knowing that I1 may lead by a couple of days. If you know me, I don't normally take positions and allow the market to run past for 2 days. So, yes, this is a good time to put in some 3-month shorts. Precious metals, silver runs to $50. I am looking for a top 4/28 on the PM1 sentiment gauge.
