Market Analysis

At this point, the actual market activity has been mostly in line with the cycle projections. Below, we see that the daily S&P has traced out a rising wedge from which it has begun to break down. A divergence between price and momentum can be detected. But the cycles still point up, so there has been little follow through on the downside.

The daily S&P surpassed both the critical 38% and 50% retracement levels. Price sits just above the ‘last stop’ 78.6% and 81% retracement levels. A run at the old highs is likely by mid-month.
