  1. Yes break of 992.40 confirms B started at 1018.

    B appears to be in (c) of B in this hypothetical path that I posted earlier:

    (a) 1018.00 992.40 -25.60
    (b) 992.40 1013.14 20.74
    (c) 1013.14 971.72 -41.42 1.618

    Within (c) of B, we appear to be in (iii) of (c) of B. It is not clear if the low so far is all of (iii) or just i of (iii). The second alternative will be very bearish, the first makes it shorter than the hypothetical path.

    Hypothetical:

    (i) of (c) 1013.14 994.6 -18.54
    (ii) of (c) 994.6 1004.17 9.57 52%
    (iii) of (c) 1004.17 974.17 -30.00 1.618 target

    Actual so far,

    so far 1004.17 979.86 -24.31 1.31
    (iv) of c? 979.86 989.15 9.29 38.2%

    let us see how B unfold?

  4. Possible path to tomorrow's low:

    (i) of (c) 1013.14 994.60 -18.54
    (ii) of (c) 994.6 1004.17 9.57 52%
    (iii) of (c) 1004.17 979.23 -24.94 1.35
    (iv) of c? 979.23 988.76 9.53 38.2%
    (v) of c? 988.76 970.22 -18.54 (v)= (i)

    I do EW do hand after printing a chart. I do not have something that can be posted. During the market, depending on each hand revealed by market, I visually look for new alternatives emerging or old ones being negated.

    Dan Eric does a chart every end of day quite thoroughly on his blogg, I simply try to put my alternative count on it.

    Thansk all. jay, ravi and Mr. Puetz. I need to see 930 by wed. to break even. keeping my fingers crossed.
    I think we see more down side here as dip buying is not seen. Shrts are covering so no buyers left. This is a genuine down leg.

    FROM : IAN:
    Cycles were looking for a lower High today, 8/17.

    With Globex down -20, That High came at the close on Friday 8/14 at an hourly back-kiss of TL (see chart).

    We should be down to 8/19 MC and Hurst Low. There is still an hourly CIT at 12.45 pm today, we need to watch.

    12:45 CIT came and gone. No up move. on our way to 8/19 low. whatever it is. he called for 50 points around 1000 so 956 is not out of picture.

  9. I thought the Puetz crash window closed last week.

    Daneric's call: at least 960 ( see his comments scetion)
    Daneric 6 hours ago
    I'm thinking same thing. Drop to the trendline. Ultimately I think the 959 major support area has to hold for there to be a Minor C wave to peak.

    At least we are getting a B wave finally heh

    EWI call 925

  11. rrman: From a previous poster.
    VirginiaJim I looked at hundreds of timing relationships this weekend and settled on this one:

    QQQQs topped exactly October 31, 2007 and appears to have topped August 7, 2009, the day after the most important date in the Puetz Crash Cycle. That's exactly 448 trading days. [The Puetz crash phase of his cycle ends August 20, 2009 and the panic phase begins.] It was 5 trading days after the October 31, 2007 top.

    QQQQs hit the 'meat' of their mini crash after the October 31, 2007 6 days later on November 6, 2007. That would be 1 to 1 timing with today.

    QQQQs hit their bottom on Noveber 12, 2007 after losing 11% in 9 trading days. The vast majortiy was lost in the last 4 trading days. We are dead on the beginning of that 4 day period....448 days later

    from Orions Belt

    The problem is during the 6 weeks surrounding a solar eclipse there are 4 full moons. There are at least 2 solar eclipses every year so that's 8 full moons that qualify for the Puetz window each year. What's the point? So we had a few crashes that started during a Puetz window. We've had nearly 1000 Puetz windows since 1929.

    Usually if the SPX drops 2 days in a row the 3rd day is Up or starts Up.

    Im retired

    Had a difficult time trading
    when I was working for First Data merchant Services

    I did well with my 401K in 1998 to 2000, and held it in cash ever since

    It seems I Was ALWAYS in the WRONG PLACE at the WRONG time
    to trade options.

    Now I am trading full time for last 2 years and am doing WELL
    as I have devoted ALL my time
    to it, and I make sure I am where I can trade when its the right time

    it gets really rough to trade this week
    Yes, I will cover shorts soon

    1. possibly at 2pm - Tuesday
    or
    2. possibly at 11am on Wed
    or
    3. possibly at 2pm on Ths -20th
    or any of the above times
    could cover and re-short in between each, but the 20th could be the date of LAST CHANCE to cover shorts - its option week which always adds to volatility


    I CAN ALSO tell you for SURE the 24th WILL be a HUGE one dAY RALLY, so WHATEVER ELSE I DO, I will be LONg on the close Friday

    price wise
    spx at 980 TODAY seems stunted
    using the 40 pts rule we have
    1018 - 980= 38 pts

    Mars 90 Uranus tomrrow, could offer another 40 pts to 940 ??
    DONT HOLD MY FEET to the FIRE if we dont get there

    Ravi
    25.60 wave (a) x 2.618 = 67
    1013 - 67 pts = 946
    that's pretty close to the 40 pt rule at 940

    We will be watching to see if tomrrow's open has any indications
    of such a deep cut. OR DEEPER!!

    10am has a sun 150 uranus and it should be quite a bearish show
    combined with the influence of the mars 90 uranus

    closing out positions tomrrow at 2pm, MIGHT possibly be too soon
    THE TREND THIS WEEK into FRIDAY AM is DOWN, and any rally in between will be VERY SHORT LIVED.
    A LOW Friday AM would most likely be a great OPP to get long.

    AS USUAL -IM using a combo of cycles and astro to outline this week, followed by the power index, then the daily effect of the propensity index

    The things I follow cannot be setup by a program or software, and Im waiting for someone
    to pay me big bucks to teach it to them- HAHA
    Unfortunately, people dont want to learn, they want to follow, so they can blame others for their ineffective trading.

    more later

    Thanks jay for the guidance
    I will be lloking out for the market to cover shorts as you have indicated. Let us hope we pick up another 20 to 30 spx points tomorrow. If we are down to 965-960 I will cover half of the spx puts tuesday 2 pm and wait for other half until wed.

    My flux and pee indicator once again say 980 is the limit. 980 must not be broken or xtrends are invalid. We are once again in a topping process. We shall see many gaps that doesnt fill resulting in several hundred point drop in coming weeks. Currently micromanaged and short 500 es contracts from 1018

  34. its 9am
    activity index is at 66
    Flux is FLAT LINE

    propens index shows potential for some upside but short lived and lower by days end , possibly lower tomrrow AM.


    Sam, selling some positions at 2pm seem like a good plan for today

    My origianl outlook for today was a low at 4pm, and that still might work out as well as open tomrrow

    Futures have backed off higher levels earlier this am

    Media says that WALL ST liked Mondays sell off and referred to the mkt as having tanked, but I get The impression, they THINK its just a temporary dip, and are expecting higher levels quickly

    my conjecture?
    A contrarian would say that As long as the gen public thinks that way, its still safe to be short- hmmm
