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.

The monthly graph shows that the decline has hit the 23.6% retracement levels of 1 prior rally and the 38.2% retracement of another rally. The longer-term support and the projected lows are in the 1550-1600 range by the autumn.
