Short Term Update

Short Term - the following has been suggested for many weeks in this blog
June 18-19 - poss top - high occurred on June 18th 

June 26 - possible low - Low so far occurred on June 29th - Note that this blog recently wrote "It is possible that Friday's volatility "might" carryover to Monday.  Monday's on many occasions have inherited Friday's volatility.", and this happened again today.

June 30 to July 8 & may be to July 13  - cycles suggest a potential consolidation period with a possible bias to the upside.

July 23-29 - possible low

Short Term Update

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.


courtesy of SeeItMarket.com
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.

Now to take a look at the short term and intermediate term cycles.  Both suggest some volatility in the months ahead much like the two charts above suggest. 

Short Term - the following has been suggested for many weeks in this blog, but, it also is similar to the 3rd year Presidential chart above 
June 19 - possible high
June 26 - possible low
June 26 to July 8-13  - cycles suggest a potential consolidation period
July 29 - possible low

Intermediate Term - The following is also similar to the 7 year Presidential chart above
June, July, August - high
September, October - low

Short Term Update

After the cycles suggested an move up into June 10th the forecast was for some consolidation or pullback into June 11-12 +/-, which came as forecast.

It is possible that today's volatility "might" carryover to Monday.
Monday's on many occasions have inherited Friday's volatility. 

ZACKS on Monday Volatility
Monday volatility captures most observers' votes, as it follows two days of market inactivity. Many corporations make earnings and operations announcements after the Friday market close to mitigate the stock price effects of major public or shareholder information. The two-day inactivity period, regardless of major announcements, alone also contributes to increased investor activity, generating more volatility and trades. Weekend announcements of earnings, executive changes, mergers and acquisitions further increase volatility and activity.

JustSignals comments
Another observation has been that the market direction for the rest of the week, sometimes, has been in the opposite direction as that weeks Monday.  So, if Monday opens down or is down for the day, then one "might" expect the market to move up by the end of the week.  One explanation for this is that after a weak Friday weak hands are selling on Monday while the strong hands are buying and then take the market higher by then end of the week.

This scenario would fall in line with the current short term cycles view for some more upside into June 18-19 +/-.

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.

Recent dates when the AAII Bullish % was less than 25.00
June 9,2011    24.40  - Sell off into Aug 2011 before continuing higher
May 16,2012  23.60  - Market continued higher
July 18,2012   22.20  - Market continued higher
April 10,2013 19.30  - Market continued higher
June 10,2015  20.00  - ???

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+/- with a potential correction into July 29+/-.  The cycles then forecast a rally into November and or January.

So, similar action subsequent to June 9,2011 is a good possibility at this point based on the suggestions of the intermediate cycles and Aubie Baltin's interpretation of the AAII Bullish %.

Short Term Update

Excerpts from original post on June 3,2015   

Today's comments, June 10th,  are in BLUE

The cycles have been performing well, but, what do they expect between today, June 3rd, and June 18-19? 

Today's Comments June 3rd
Today the cycles are suggesting some grinding up into June 10 +/-.
Although the short term cycles did not get closer to the June 3 +/- forecasted bottom, the market did bottom a few trading days later on June 9th.   The originally forecast grinding up from June 3 +/- ended up being a one day thrust up, catch up,  into the June 10th forecast date today.
Then some consolidation or pullback into June 11-12 +/- with the market trying to add some more to the upside into June 18-19 +/-.



June 18-19   poss top - From here the cycles suggest a bias up into June 18-19+/-.  Since June 19th is a Friday it may include Monday June 22nd so watch your indicators for evidence of a trend change.

July 29   poss low - more on this as we approach June 18-19

June 9,2015 Comments
So far this has been the case for the intermediate term.  The short term cycles missed the June 3 +/- low.  That forecast low did carryover several days.  The cycles are still suggesting some upside into June 18-19 +/-.  As always, watch your indicators for evidence of a trend change and JustSignals for more updates.

Forecast Update

From April 24,2015 post

June 2-3   poss  low - In the first 30min after the market opened yesterday morning this was posted, "Watch short term indicators to confirm this potential low".   As of this writing the futures are up, so the market probably bottomed early yesterday morning and in our forecast window, so far, of June 2-3.

June 18-19   poss top - From here the cycles suggest a bias up into June 18-19+/-.  Since June 19th is a Friday it may include Monday June 22nd so watch your indicators for evidence of a trend change.

If history is going to repeat itself, then we may be looking at a similar type correction before a year end rally.
If you are up to date with the posts in the blog then you know that the cycles discussed here are forecasting such a move.

To repeat:

Cycles look like a consolidation period into May 21 with a slight bias to the upside, no real short term directions suggested by the cycles although some may develop along the way.
May 21   poss top
June 2-3   poss  low
June 18-19   poss top

Short Term Forecast

Review of the last Short Term Forecast Dates Made March 22nd
- Forecast Trend Change Dates are (+/-)
*) March 19-25
1) March 29 to April 3
2) April 5-7
3) April 12-13

COMMENTS
March 19 to 25 -DJIA topped on March 23rd
March 29 to April 3 - DJIA topped on March 30th and bottomed on April 1st - a tricky one
April 5 to 7 - DJIA stalled on April 6th
April 12 to 13 - DJIA at the time of this writing topped on April 13th
 
Following cycles has been good to use as a guide or as a potential future road map, but, other tools must always be used for confirmation of any forecast trend change date.  
 
NEW SHORT TERM FORECAST DATES
- Forecast Trend Change Dates are (+/-)
The forecast dates from this week to the 2nd or 3rd week of May are not easy to interpret.
More time is needed to evaluate this time period due to what is perceive to be many cross currents and a possible sideways consolidation period.
More on this to be posted in a few days.


Since cycles do not distinguish between trading days and calendar days, the cycle dates may come out on Holidays or weekends.  So the dates suggested that do fall on such days are to be used as a window.   So, as always, other tools must always be used for confirmation of any forecast cycle trends.  All forecast dates will still be noted with a "+/-" because the cycle dates are not always as perfect as we would like them to be.  Although they have been pretty accurate.   

Intermediate Term Forecast Trend Change Dates

Intermediate term
The following was posted on March 22nd - 
"at this time the Short Term Cycles and the Intermediate Term Cycles are not in sync. The Intermediate term cycles suggest that the DJIA maybe turning up in the February/March time frame into mid 2015 +/-.
After reviewing the short term cycles, it is likely that the DJIA may drop into late March or early April" 
After an early February bottom the DJIA grinded with a bullish bias with small pullbacks in late March and early April as forecast.
From here the Intermediate cycles still call for some more bullish bias into mid 2015 +/- and that could mean +/- a month or so.
 
*** Indicators and oscillators must be watched for moves in the market because we are at a time where sentiment is optimistic and dumb money is buying and smart money is selling.  
In the past this combination has been a catalyst for a correction.

A hint from the VIX


This is a chart of the daily VIX courtesy of eSignal. 
Since October 2014 we have had declining tops as indicated by the trend line.
When a break of this trend line occurs and drop in the stock market occurs.
The amount of the drop is hard to forecast.
So keep an eye on this one !

Since cycles do not distinguish between trading days and calendar days, the cycle dates may come out on Holidays or weekends.  So the dates suggested that do fall on such days are to be used as a window.   So, as always, other tools must always be used for confirmation of any forecast cycle trends.  All forecast dates will still be noted with a "+/-" because the cycle dates are not always as perfect as we would like them to be.  Although they have been pretty accurate.   

Intermediate Term Forecast Trend Change Dates

Intermediate term - at this time the Short Term Cycles and the Intermediate Term Cycles are not in sync. The Intermediate term cycles suggest that the DJIA maybe turning up in the February/March time frame into at least mid 2015 +/-.
An earlier Intermediate term post on November 6,2014 stated, "cycles forecast at this time points up into mid to late November and then a down bias into December/January".  
The late November forecast turned out to be a top on Dec 5th and then the DJIA dropped into Dec 16-17.  It then rallied into a top on Dec 24-26 and then dropped again into a bottom on Feb 2nd.  The downward pressure forecast did occur, but, the DJIA displayed resilience. 
After reviewing the short term cycles, it is likely that the DJIA may drop into late Feb to mid March.  
The intermediate term cycles suggest that this may be the next and possibly the last entry point this year before a good rally.

The vertical lines were added to make it easier to line up the extreme net long positions with the US Dollar Index.

Commercial Hedgers tend to sell into strength and buy into weakness, just the oposite of Non-Commercial Speculators.
