Where ARE WE NOW ??

1942 to 2012 and we are fast approaching
Jay
An attempt to match up these 2 charts or overlay might or might not indicate a brief sell off

Im not looking for TOPS along the way, BUT actually an extended weak market.
I do see many similarities to year 2000 this year.
As the above chart shows, BRIEF , severe sell offs can & do occur
Is one coming in October as is typically expected??
Or sooner OR later
Jay

Heres a chart of the dow from 1936 to 1942

GOLD at 1300 FIBO- whats NEXT

This came to my attention
thought you would like to see it

Traders hoping for Republican congressional take over
BUT what if NO DEAL
DOLLAR UP- gold down stocks down

the GOOD news is ALL OVER THE Media
BEST SPT for STOCKS since 1939
BUY GOLD, its NOT going to drop more than a few bucks if at all

SAME OLD -SAME OLD
51% BULLS
24% Bears

Of course the SENTIMENT is BULLISH
BUT, is the underlying value really there?

WHOM do you think they are preaching to ?
the un- suspecting PUBLIC - of course

SPT 24th EKG & comments

FRED
as You can see from the EKG, the OPEN rally today is only a wave 2 reaction to the
5 waves dropped from 1148 to 1123 as per the previous publication

Yesterday was very moderate, but a clear warning bell, if your ears are on.-
an old CB terminology from the 70's.

THE TREND from SPT 21st at 2:30 to Oct4th is DOWN
How it gets to that pivot is up to the mkt, and thats what we try to determine, but we have to keep in mind the MAIN focus
Yes, I may have shorted a little early, and maybe I dont catch EVERY SWING
but DO stay tuned.

there is 68 hours of trading from 2;30 on the 21st to 4pm on the 4th OR open on 5th
I have been doing a study of tradings hours from lows to highs to lows, etc
EACH segment is at or very near FIBONACCI-- and why not, of course they would be

the Time segment mentioned above is 68 hours which is 55 + 13
You can do the math yourselves
July1 low to 13th high was 47 hrs = 34+13
To july20th low = 26hrs = 21+5
To Aug 9th high = 89 hrs
and so forth

5 waves

This counts out more clearly as 5 waves from 1148 to 1122.79 on close

Futures this AM indicate a strong open to 1134, which would be
a 50% retracement

More Detailed EKG for 23rd verses Wave

COMPARE to EKG below
Jay
graph from Columbia's public charts
Shows me 5 wave s DOWN from 1148 to 1123 = wave 1
Now in a rebound wave 2 till later today, probably 3 legs a,b,c

The Spt 23rd DETAILED EKG shows it the same

WAVE 3 should hit late today and Early tomrrow
as previously posted till about 11am.
WAVE 4 should last almost all day after the open tomrrow
wave 5 of this leg should occur MONDAY @10 10am .

I had projected a much deeper cut on this leg,
but it doesn't look like it will be that way.

I had mentioned 2 different scenarios- one hard & fast,
the other long and tedious.

This idea indicates the BIAS now thru early Feb has a
number of sharp retreats interspersed with sharp rallies,
offsetting each other as we make our way to a Lower trading PIVOT

History lesson

PART of RRMAN's history lessson

The full moon occurs on September 23rd and Tishrei 25-28 will take place between October 3rd and October 6th. Thus, we are now about to enter the time of year most vulnerable to mass hysterias.

While historically autumnal panics have taken the form of financial crises, one might note above that the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis andOctober 1973 Yom Kippur Arab-Israeli War, the two points in history when the world came closest to an all-out East-West nuclear war as measured by NORAD's DEFCON nuclear alert level, occurred in the context of the typical seasonal pattern for mass panics. In 1962 the highest DEFCON status was reached on October 26th, or Tishrei 28. In 1973, the highest DEFCON nuclear alert was reached on October 24th, or Tishrei 28 as well in that year. (Tishrei 28 is October 6th this year.)

Some might not see the connection between financial crises and geopolitical crises, but it is clear that one exists. Consider, for instance, how reversals from psychologically important thousand marks in the DJIA have correlated with geopolitical "shocks".

One of the most clear-cut examples of this occurred with the October 1973 Yom Kippur Arab-Israeli War when, upon retesting the "Magic 1000" mark, the DJIA turned down in connection with the outbreak of war in the Middle East. What followed was an OPEC oil embargo against the West and a severe contraction in the global economy precipitating a 40%+ decline in stock prices in the ensuing months:

SPT 23rd EKG & commentary

FYI- I thought this might be important to see NOW
PRELIM EKG For Friday morning - see the above graph
Jay
yesterday was an 8 day high, but one day late for the averages,
and yet is might work out.

MY proprietary ADv- decl & vol ratios are way off the highs of SPT 9th and yet the price
of the mkt ran higher till Tuesday on WANING internals- What does that say about the TRUE strength of the mkt-- IMO<>

In view of RRMAN's history lesson concerning Oct6th THIS year
I had already proposed a decline starting this week, but ENDING temporarily on
OCTOBER 4th

Also we read that the next 100 days is marked with UNCERTAINTY
as the planets are clustered in the southern hemisphere-
supposedly a negative for human emotions & stock prices

OFF TOPIC, somewhat-
Maybe thats why the GOP wants to shut down our NATIONAL Govt and create havok
remember the reading of Tuesday-- Jarring & disruptive to CREATE HAVOK-
and so it might come to pass--- but I hope not, and I'm sure no one else, even those
that propose it, would like to see happen in reality.

Stressed FULL moon all day today
Jobless claims some what negative adds to the selling pressure

126BARS @ 4pm and or open tomrrow should lead to a lower open tomrow
along with
62%/ 13 day at 11:13
156bars at 11:30am
Neg energy at 10;30
DAILY hourly turn @ 11am
EARLY EKG reading shows sharply lower open
one reading for tomrrow also indicates early confusion

According to Monday's reading, the mkt should open lower and recover during the day
How do we anticipate our positions? with this knowledge is the next question.

I COULD PLAN to close out shorts my Friday AM,
Possibly sell the close for a scalp trade on Monday's open - but thats really high risk
_____________
Once in the clear tomrrow AM, It might be an advantage to watch and wait for
Monday's lower open to possibly buy long as the next HIGH turn is not expected
until the 30th @ 1pm
_________________________________

As members of this community, I expect all of you to add your trading expertise

Power Graph, Week of Spt 24th & 27th

NOTE on 23rd- LOOKS LIKE 22nd & 23rd maybe reversed

I should have published this on Sunday as it more clearly shows the CHANGE occurring after today

I Hate the idea of HOLDING over a wkend, but the graph and reading indicate
a LOWER open on Monday, Spt 27th, but it does give us choices.

I know Im putting the CART in front of the HORSE since NOTHING has happened
yet, so I'll wait to suggest what I would like to do on Friday, GIVEN the above comes to fruition

PS
The previous week power graph worked out quite well- obviously not 100%
but in general it did depict the daily mkt moves with decent accuracy

ITS NOW 3:30 and I think they've SHOT the works
disparity of SPX much less than DOW leading the overall mkt lower

They just had to over ride 1130 and get to 1150, almost -- exactly@ 1148.59
which adds up to the next higher level of 5
1+1+4+8 = 14 = 5

SPX heading lower at 3:35pm @ 1139.43 with still 25 minutes to go

I have NO idea why the FED hype would indicate a strong market
for anyone to buy into -- HYPE -HYPE - HYPE

FED said the economy sucks and they stand ready to apply more aid.
DUHH; doesnt that mean the economy is in deep doodoo
WHO would buy into that ?? retail buyers??

expect to put on the finishing touches

All of the data previously eminated from this site is about to come to fruition

Nothing anyone can say or do can change the course of events about to unfold - WHATEVER they may be

Obviously whatever happens will not be armagedon, but will have an impact none the less

As the Monday Spt27th read says- dont believe what you hear & read as SENTIMENT will go to an extreme negative.

its an OLD OLD STORY
When the Media is screaming disaster, its time to be contrary

Elliott wave Graph from Part of NY

No one can really know when this wave will end but the evidence suggests there could be a break this week.

It's the week after options Exp
it's the 20th of the month & last 10 days
Nearly every month since March 9th, 2009, the mkt has made lows at the first of each month and highs at or near the 20th of each month, and dropped off in the last 10 days
WILL that pattern be repeated?

This week
Monday calls for HIGH Expectations and we have a PRES speech emulating
__irrational exuberance, Maybe ??

Tuesday indicates something is out of control, havok, eruptive showdowns
What will it be & will that have any effect on trading ??

For comparison, we can see the OBV not keeping pace with the rise in stock prices at he end of the day. And so far the AM futures indicate an open at 1130 prior to 8:30.

Today was obviously NOT portrayed very well, and now we wait for 9:30 to publish

SPT 14th EKG & comments

Couldnt ask for anything better

Today's cycles

13 day cycle pivot at 11am -- would normally add support for a later day recovery
the SELL off late day MIGHT be more appropriate for TOMRROW AM/OPEN

30bars at 10:30am
60bars at 1pm
90bars at 3;30pm

From the above, we would expect a bias to move lower most of the morning till at least 11am

today's read calls for $$ stress
and a good day to lay low

Jay

Spt 13 to 17th POWER Data Graph

NOT EXACT, but how could anyone expect 100%
but quite a good representation of the week's trading
Jay
Some one suggested that BECAUSE we have not seen a 20% sell off as of Spt 13th,
IT WONT HAPPEN
WELL: DONT YOU BELIEVE THAT !!

THE WAVE structure as COLUMBIA had shown on his blog public charts as well as some others point it out as a distinct possibility.

Using the principle of WAVE equality,
we had an spx 210 pts loss from April 26th to July 1st
That would equate to a 210 pts loss from the current high of 1120 = spx 910

researching the ENERGY about to unfold in the next 3 weeks thru Oct4th indicates
that SUCH a sell off is POSSIBLE within this time frame

Jay

Update Spt 13th

Ive seen a similar chart at another site which also shows what some are labeling as wave 2
about to finish *shortly , and or wave X as ive labeled it.

*Shortly -could be at 10am today at the 26 HOUR cycle
Merc direct Sunday adds to today's boost,
and the futures this are positive to 1114 as I write this at 8:30am

The BRADLEY date appears to be turning in its HIGH today
as it was officially posted for Saturday

Once wave 2 - or wave X as I described is finished we can get 2 different results
1. can be an extended and lengthy decline over many weeks or months
OR
2. a QUICK sell off as Ive previously described due to the neg cluster of energy
from the 20th to Oct 4th.

IMO,
Door # 2 seems most APT to occur given the NATURE of the
WAVES we have already seen and are about to finish today

A FLAT at SPX 1120 area sets up one of the weakest wave structures indicating the
next wave becomes a THRUST lower matching the price decline of the FIRST major wave.

its called WAVE Equality
That would take the SPX down about 210 pts to 255 pts to SPX 910 at a minimum
and 875 as potential maximum

Where is that ILLUSIVE Crash ??

Is there REALLY going to be any set back, ??
or are we to suppose the moon is waiting for a landing ??

the Wave seems to be HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE as we Mark time
everything happens in its OWN time, not according to what we would want

But we have taken on the task of determining when there will most likely be
serious sell off to the current trend- WE have NO idea WHY it would happen,
as that only becomes clear AFTER the fact.

We had already reached a 62% retrace {{555pts}} of the 08/09
loss of 900 pts at spx 1220
AND on JULY 1st they gave back 38.2% to spx 1010

NOW we see the SPX hitting the 1110 level last week which = a 78% retrace from 1010 -1130
Yes its possible to reach a little higher up to 1130 next week.
AND
We are at a BRADLEY turn date on the 11th which could easily hit on Monday, Spt 13th.
From there, the next Bradley date is OCT 1st
which coincides with a cluster of negative energy

Using FIBO math which has been discussed b4,
we can guess that the next important level would also be
62% of 555 = 344 pts taking the spx from 1220 to 875
Columbia's chart above shows that FIBO level

SINCE we are now at 1110, that would represent a loss of 255 pts
The NEXT QUESTION, of course is WHEN.

There are TWO HEAVY Negative ENERGY clusters coming up
first series from SPT 20 to 24th
Second series from Spt 30 to Oct4th

IMO, TIME & PRICE should converge as indicated above &
There is a possibility that one of those days would occur with loss of 1000 dow points -
most likely SPT 23rd.

Jay

Spt 10th EKG & later commentary

Didnt finish as low as pictured, but I really didnt expect it to, unless Monday
starts out that way to finish. If trading were on Saturday, the down leg went further.
otherwise, its a good pre visualization of the day ahead
Jay
Much to do about nothing
near repeat of yesterday

We mentioned spx 1110 as strong resistance at the 78% retrace level
1130 is 100%, and that still does have potential

Just in case they do move higher, that does NOT indicate a NEW BULL RUN
mainly because there can be an X wave higher in whats called an irregular wave;
this type of wave CAN also indicate a severe sell off immediately upon completion
be that Today, Monday or SPT 20th

Jay

Spt 8th EKG & end of day update

Couldn't ask for a better depiction of today's action
The OBV at days end appears like the open should sell off
And the energy atmosphere till about 1pm is moderately negative
BUT the EKG is not very negative.

POWER INDEX shows
a LOW tomorrow - Thsday
Fri Flat
Monday UP
Down on Tuesday
Looks like today is day ON HOLD

258bars at 12;30
Neg energy at 1:30
could be the lod as shown above

End of day does not have to close lower, but there is some disruptive energy at 4;24pm

IF the EOD does end lower, then there is an over ride of the 258 bar /21hr low leading us look for the next 21hr cycle to head lower

Jay

SPT7th EKG @ 8:30am & after close follow up

It certainly is encouraging to see today's EKG work out so WELL
We are still at 69% SUCCESS from its first publication on March 24th

Bulletin for TODAY
ARMS 5 at ** 77.8** and TRIN 5 at ** 389** BOTH issued a SELL signal TODAY

Multiple images might create a problem, but we'll see how well or not this will work.

Might have to abandon this index if this problem continues

MORE WAVE thoughts

The Columbia chart that was posted
DOES show potential for wave C to complete higher as you aptly mentioned.

But its not clear WHATS DIRECTLY AHEAD this week

Since the EARLY month action is a HIGH, then in order to make
another high on the 20th as shown by Columbia, we still need
to back off this week

NOW, its NOT written in stone anywhere, YET,
that we have NOT already seen the highs of this wave
and that the 20th is only a rebound within the next decline

I have mentioned THAT several times

It is ALSO possible that the NEG energy spewing out this month
will include a serious decline thru the 24th, and final low on OCT 4th

Thus leaving OCT in rebound phase -rather than crash mode.

I hope you understand what & why Im discussing various outcomes for SPT,
but direction for each leg has not varied, only possible AMPLITUDE

The dates are still OK
10th low
20th high
24th low
29th high
oct4th low

all the above are within the CONTEXT of a {C} wave, or what some
Elliotters would prefer to call a 5th wave.

but if you follow my wave count from April26th, IMO,
the wave may only need to set back to about a 50% level
from the 550 pts gained since Mar 09,2010.

1220- 275 = 945
or 62%
1220- 340 = 880

This might or might NOT be the time for such,
but it is a possible outcome for Spt Negative energy

NOTE that we have ALREADY hit the 38% level on JULY2nd at 1010

The other 2 levels remain open

Jay

WEEKEND thoughts

Observations :
It took 21 tr days to drop from Apr 26 to May24th
spx 1220 to 1040
and 47 tr days to July 2nd at 1010 , and a 210 pt loss.

It also took ONLY 21 days from Apr 26 to May 24th to take out 180 pts
so 210 pts in 21 days is not unheard of.

that was then,
whats next?
there appears to be a possible time acceleration as Spt 3rd to Oct4th is also 21 tr days

If the target level is really spx 900, then price acceleration should also be in evidence.
well in advance of that date.

In other words, what took 48 tr days from Apr26 to July 2nd should now take
21 tr days to take out the same 210 pts

If that is going to work out, then the first drop next week should also be accelerated

I am now focused on a low on Spt10th - late afternoon @ 180bars = 2;30pm
_________________________________________

We previously had projected a low on the 9th, but upon further review, we see the 10th has potential as the 11th, a Saturday is a Bradley TURN date, and the readings do get considerably more positive from the 11th to the 20th.

other than the 9th to 10th shift, the other October dates still remain intact
_________________________________________
Heres a similar TIME relationship from 2009 & 2010

9/12/09 HIGh was followed by the Extreme low on NOV 20th in 48 tr days
for a loss of 4000 dow pts.
BUT
Feb 6th, 2010 high was followed by the March 9th low in 21 tr days
& a loss of 1700 dow pts
______________________________

the circumstances and wave positions were different then,
but the DAYS still counted out in similar fashion

Jay

HELGE

Heres a Page from Helge which shows a high end of August on the white line
but the BLUE line is a little premature
This page is a COMBO of his cycles all in one view
the BLUE line shows the NEXT direction is DOWN for SPT as rrman mentioned
Jay

SPT 2010 possibility

It certainly looks like 377 & 144 tr days hit a HIGH today
The expected pivot became a high, maybe- lets explore
to see WHATS NEXT.

Will Spt sell off ?

Arms data is on the verge of issuing a sell signal
and today's mkt data should solidify that sell

X wave rebound with lots of HYPE- typical of that type of wave

MY SIMPLE ELLIOTT count - from April26th
1220-1010= 210pts lost on wave {A}

Wave{B} high got to 1130,
and wv {a} LOW of {C} back to 1040
a loss of 90 pts

90 x 78% = 70 + 1040 = 1110 potential
we got to 1105 at 10am, and the ISM data offered a wet blanket

Using the principal of wave equality, CAN we really expect
{C} wave to give back another 210 pts from today's high which would
take the spx to the 900 level

IF this is REALLY going to HAPPEN, IMO, the BEAR must show his fangs
starting Monday.
MY timing model calls for
Spt9th low = wv i of {C}
spt20 high = wv ii of {C}
Spt24 low = wv iii of {C}
Spt30high =wv iv of {C} & turn lower to Oct 4th = wv v of {C}

What level next week would signal the above is really happening?

Using the previous wave, we might get some answers to that question

April26 to May7th on close lost 110 pts -- really close to 55% of 210 total to come
1220 - 1110 = 110 pts = 52.4% actual

If we DO GET such a loss BY the 9th, it would take the spx to the 1000 level
and set the stage for a possible 34% rebound of 38pts to 1040,
which would be typical resistance of wave ii as listed above.
You can do the math for the rest of the wave as above

this takes lots of -------
IN THE FACE OF HAVING misread the END of August

SPT 3rd EKG

THis MIGHT BE A BETTER look at today's activity

the RUN UP recovered to 1105, and using fibo of 78% could have gotten to 1110 MAX.

There could be another runup later, but would probably not exceed the 10am high

Direction counts more than amplitude

Up days continue

Graph from April26th

Graph from COLUMBIA public blog pages
Ignore the Elliott wave labels for now

Lets look at price relationships
WAVE equality, I've mentioned b4

Apr 26 high @1220 to Jly2nd low @1010 = 210 pts
1130 high on June21 - 210 pts = 920 spx

So we have potential from previous post for spx to 850
or 920 as above

WHEN, WHEN, When ??
thats the big question

that Oct 4th date looks possible, but I had mentioned Spt 24th b4,
and Im going to stick with that date a potential wave culmination,
with Oct 4th as possible back test

Now look at a SIMPLE wave count
WAVE {A} on July 2nd
WAVE {B} on Aug 9th
WAVE {C} in now progress
wv {a} low on Aug 24th at 10am @ 1041
wv {b} high in progress or may have completed at 10am today

NOW looking for {c} of {C} to complete in 3 waves as mentioned b4
SPT 8/9th low
Spt 20 high
Spt 24th LOW
30th high
oct4th low

October does NOT LOOK like a traders month - Volatility should DRY UP
especially if we get the {C} wave as described above

Volume Losing steam

5 day/ 5 minute chart above shows OBV losing steam against the most recent rally

Yesterday's ARMS index was at .26 -- which is an extremely low value and the
Up vol was 25/1 and 96% positive

SOO, wheere the the-- are we??

What should we expect next ??

Lots of good news, beneficial data this week, Very positive sentiment
377 day cycle PEAK ??? , not a trough -possibly - one of you mentioned that last week.

26 hr cycle HIGH hit right at 10am - Dow
spx a tad higher at 11am, but still within the 26 hour orb
as 258bars hit at 10;30
_______________________________
April 26top @ 1220 dropped to 1040 on the flash crash
Binve- Columbia 1, notes this math relationship
180x 1.62% = 290 pts
1130 high of X wave - 290= spx 840
____________________________

Also look at a similar relationship
Apr 26 @ 1220 - 1010 lo = 210 pts
1080 - 210 = 870
__________________________

Lets also explore TIME relationships
377 & 144 today from previous lows appears as a possible HIGh, not a LOW
then what are next time segments to look for the next low??

October 4th is showing up as a possible target, How? you ask, good question
lets explore
Oct 4th, 2010 - 610 fibo days = May 6th, 2008 which was the LAST time we saw Dow 13k
May6th, 2008 - 144 Fibo = OCT 9th, 2007 TOP
SO we have to suspect a potential culmination on Oct 4th- HIGH or LOW ?
