Intermediate Term Cycles Forecast

Updated Intermediate Term Comments:   (supported by info and data below)
1-The stock market tends to rally for approx 3-6 months when the AAII bullish reading is under 25 and this happened 4 times this year between June & August
2-The data below supports that September +/- is the worst period of the year which occurs just ahead of a historically positive November-December and or October, November, December, January period
3-Both the average 3rd years & 7th years of the Presidential cycle show several months of a mid year topping phase just before some market corrections in the September/October period and then a rally into the year end 
4-Fear Greed Index is at 6 today.  This is a contrarian point of view.
5-The Intermediate Term Cycles are suggesting nothing different and still suggest a rally into November and or January.
Note that cycles do NOT suggest that future suggested highs can be or will be higher or lower than past highs or that future suggested lows can be or will be lower or higher than past lows.

JustSignals posts for the intermediate cycles have been suggesting:
The intermediate forecast is for a top either on May 21+/- and or June 18-19+/- (both dates were accurate) with a potential correction into July 29+/- (also accurate).  The cycles then forecast a rally into November and or January.  Here is where it gets a little trickly.  At this point the short term cycles suggest some interruption in the Intermediate Term forecast.  The periods of Aug 13-19 +/- and Sept 13-26 +/- are areas that suggest a downward bias in the market.   If any other periods are noticed they will be posted ahead of time.

*Also note that September +/- is the weakest month of the year for the stock market and we are entering a period of weakness suggested by the Average 3rd Years of the Presidential Cycle and the Average 7th Years of the Presidential Cycle.

So, similar action subsequent to June 9,2011 is a good possibility at this point based on the suggestions of the intermediate cycles , short term cycles, September weakness, the Average 3rd Years of the Presidential Cycle and the Average 7th Years of the Presidential Cycle and Aubie Baltin's interpretation of the AAII Bullish %.


Aubie Baltin CFA, CTA, CFP, PhD. and writer of the market newsletter, UNCOMMON COMMON SENSE,  once wrote that the stock market tends to rally for approx 3-6 months when the AAII bullish reading is under 25.

  Today on Twitter there was a chart by SeeItMarket.com on the 7th year of the Presidential cycle (this occurs when a President serves two terms).  In addition, their link takes you to an article which included another chart on the 3rd year of the Presidential cycle.  Both the 7th year and the 3rd year of the Presidential cycles fall in this year, 2015.
Here are those charts.

Both of these charts show a rough several months just ahead before a year end rally.  Of course, both of these charts are the "averages" of several 3rd and 7th years.

Keep checking for further updates.
The dates forecast back on June 9,2015 turned out to be pretty accurate.  The only date that did not hold was the low of July 29th.   The low extended, so far, into August 2015.
