Equity SpringThe Bear Extermination mission is now complete. There are no bears alive to tell the story.
Last winter will be written in the history books. But remember, history is written by the winners.
After all the Bears got trapped, we are left with a market full of neutrals and bulls.
The most extremist of bears are gone. Negligible now the effect of the baby bears.
Spring season greets the only ones left alive.
Last year Bears got scammed. Panic ensued when equities began dropping rapidly.
Little did they know, that what they lost in Equity value, they gained in Dollar value.
Investors' sentiment can easily get played. And it can easily be measured.
The incredible thing about the chart above, the Equity Put Call Ratio, is that it proves the overwhelmingly negative sentiment that exists now.
Everyone "braces for impact", volatility is reaching incredible lows because nobody trades, expecting the crash to come any day now.
Low volatility doesn't necessarily lead to higher volatility.
Spring is the best season for traders.
It may very well have come and passed, and we haven't realized it.
Equities have indeed slowed down.
But perhaps they are now moving as slow as it gets.
It is certain however that many more springs will come and go...
A trader must be wise, and adapt in the new balances.
One used to profit indefinitely from the perfect equity-bond investment strategy. Now this does not work.
Bonds will get bust! And money will flow out of bonds and seek other shelter.
Now one can get rich just by holding onto fiat currency.
Gold "currency" is fighting for survival...
While crypto is beating most kinds of investments.
It seems that money is flowing out of Bonds and Gold, and into Equities and Energy.
The message is clearly written.
Either you find the truth by yourself, or you listen to what others have to say. Just make sure to listen to the right voice.
May the truth be your guidance, not wealth.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

Markets move back into IndecisionAnother update on the US Dollar index and its negative correlation with major markets. DXY has moved back into an area of indecision with regards to recoveries occurring across markets:
Bitcoin, Gold, Dow Jones Industrial, Nasdaq are all negatively correlated with the Dollar Index, with few exceptions, over the last year or more.
Many of these are also at major decision areas or have recently faced major resistances to further recovery. It is possible recoveries could continue while the dollar index remains in this area of indecision, or they could also remain in an area of indecision as well.
The main point here is to pay attention to what DXY does next, and:
-- For as long as it continues to be negatively correlated with these other major markets, expect them to do the opposite when DXY finally breaches and remains above or below the blue box above.
-- They may also do the opposite for any major moves within the indecision area as long as negative correlation remains true.
This is another major update to the following post:
Plus a more recent major update related to Bitcoin:
And, if you'd like to use the correlation indicator I recently made for comparing multiple markets, you can find it here:

DOW JONES: Hit the 1D MA200 after almost 2 months.Dow Jones touched today the 1D MA200 for the first time since March 29th, almost 2 months after the strong bullish break-out. The 1D timeframe is technically bearish (RSI = 38.438, MACD = -67.410, ADX = 30.240), indicating that we are approaching low enough levels to justify a long term buy. However we are only willing to open a buy position as long as the 1D candles close over the 1D MA200 and target R1 (TP = 33,600).
If a candle closes below the 1D MA200, we will open a sell and target the bottom of the dashed Channel Down (TP = 32,000). Once the 1D RSI gets oversold, we will again buy on the long term, aiming at the top of the seven month Channel Down (TP = 33,900).
Keep in mind that the 1D MA200 has held and provided excellent buy signals, three times and only once on March 9th it broke.

AW Dow Jones Analysis - The Climax of a Long-Term Trend...Join me in this insightful video as I provide a concise explanation of the final moves anticipated in the Dow Jones. We explore the journey of the market since the great depression and analyze the current highs. Drawing upon AriasWave methodology, I discuss the notion that we are on the cusp of witnessing the conclusion of the long-term trend within the next year and a half.
Additionally, I shed light on how the formation of the market top may not only be attributed to the trend's end but also to the tendency of markets to exhibit symmetrical patterns at their peaks. While head and shoulders patterns are often found in these areas, it is essential to understand that the resulting moves align with larger patterns on a broader scale.
As we navigate the complexities of the market, understanding these dynamics and patterns can provide invaluable insights into potential future movements. Join me as we delve into this analysis, guided by the principles of AriasWave, to gain a deeper understanding of the Dow Jones and its impending journey.
Please note that all analysis and predictions are subject to change based on new information and market developments. It is important to conduct individual research and analysis in conjunction with this discussion.
Dow Jones is forming a Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern!!!It seems that Dow Jones Index is forming a Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern on the daily time frame so that it has managed to create bottoms and tops according to the pattern.
I expect a third bottom to form in one of the 🟡PRZ(Price Reversal Zones)🟡 .

DOW JONES Emerging Bullish Cross may take it higher.Dow Jones (DJI) has broken above the former long-term Channel Down, hitting our previous upside target (see idea below) and is now forming a new pattern:
The new pattern is a Channel Up, which has been on a correction leg (blue channel down) since the 34270 High, similar to the one from December 01 to January 05. The 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) is supporting a loose Triangle pattern (dashed trend-lines), which above it targets Resistance 1. Our target is slightly lower at 34250.
The critical factor is on the 1D MACD, which is close to forming a Bullish Cross. Every MACD Bullish Cross under 0 in 2023 has been a major Buy Signal, and interestingly enough both have been formed while the price was consolidating within a Triangle.

DJI ARE you rdy for sell ?🧨🧨👌The fall of the Dow Jones index / Are you ready to sell?
It is easy to see that the Dow Jones index is going to fall, and the targets that I specified for you will first reach 31486.38, then it will have a corrective trend up to 32550.68.
The next target that the index will see will be 28781.97 and that is where you can decide to go long.
Bitcoin's Negative Correlation with DXY - Part IIHere's a longer-term look at Bitcoin's negative correlation with the US Dollar Index, in looking at an overlay of the monthly DXY on top of Bitcoin.
CC also displays significant negative correlation, and during the brief periods where it has been positively correlated, that correlation has been insignificant. At least this has been true over the last two major bull runs/corrections and halving cycles.
The two also look like a mirror image of each other, and as mentioned in previous posts - this makes sense. If the dollar is strong, we should expect Bitcoin to weaken, and vice versa.
My previous post about this, here:
The same is true for Gold vs. DXY, as shown below, and for stock markets as well, most of which have been positively correlated with Bitcoin, especially more recently since the 2020 March black swan event. Here are a couple different looks at this:
From the perspective of DXY and its correlation with Bitcoin, Gold, Dow Jones Industrial, and Nasdaq.
And then a look at Gold vs. DXY:
Should DXY move up here, the Bitcoin market and other markets mentioned above may be in for much further and deeper correction. Conversely, should it move down, we could see extended recoveries or even new ATHs as shown in the diagram above. Either way, we should be aware of DXY's movements:
Long-term DXY looks incredibly bullish, with breakout, after re-test, after breakout, after re-test:
Meanwhile Bitcoin could go in either direction as well, and I would imagine it will go in the opposite direction of DXY here, long term. It could first reach 38k to create a new high following DXY's more recent low, and then head back down towards the lower target at 13k should DXY continue up:
Long-term if DXY moves up beyond 112-114 -> 118-120ish, expect blood in the markets.
SPX/DJI: A Peculiar CorrelationPrice action discounts everything.
The most important included. It discounts prejudgement.
Price discounts everything every time...
...except when we don't want to allow it to change our hypotheses.
High yield rates are synonymous with recession.
We are convinced that high yield rates is the thing the majority hates.
From this chart above, we conclude that this may not be happening after all...
The majority (500 SPX companies) is growing against the minority (30 DJI companies) in periods when yield rates consistently rise.
Everything is relative. Recession is relative. Bubbles are relative.
A Big-Tech bubble was formed throughout the last two decades.
Now, in a high-yield environment, this bubble is fed using derivatives.
With incredible correlation, as yield rates increase, the relative density of QQQ derivatives increases. While this is an experimental calculation, only QQQ is showing this kind of derivative filling. SPX and DJI show more stable behavior.
Given that in DJI most companies are Big-Tech, the following chart comes up to prove the long-term fundamentals of big vs small.
Curiously, yield rates target a range of about 8%, similar to the inflationary highs.
Inflation seems to be calming. Many wish rate cuts...
A rate cut schedule however may signal the beginning of a recession for the US.
Cutting rates will push bond prices higher. Thus, a money outflow from equities and into bonds is created. This outflow will be a cause for SPX weakness.
As the SPX*yields chart suggested, a near-term recession may be coming.
For the following few years, SPX seems strong as the yield-SPX/DJI correlation showed.
It can take decades though for balance to shift decisively.
We need both oscillators to get bearish for a convincing move.
While Buffett advised investing into oil, but not all oil is the same...
(High yield rates for the US will drive prices lower. Yield-SPX correlation points us to SPX bullishness in a high-yield environment)
In a progressively higher-yield environment, the outflow from bonds and into equities can get immense.
A US debt default will outright crash bond prices, aiding the potential for SPX to move higher.
Not all is well for the US though. Money is already seeking other ventures...
Don't fall for the news-driven trap.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
P.S. A US Default might not be as light as I describe.
Who knows how big the scale of such an event might be...
P.S.2. I am posting a link to the indicator I am using:
It is highly experimental, but I am beginning to get a good grip of it. Many adjustments may follow. This indicator can be used in any timeframe, and in charts of any scale.
DOW JONES: Inverse Head and Shoulders on 1W target 34,350.Dow Jones hit again the underlying Support which marked a low on January 16th. That was the Left Shoulder (LF) of a potential Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern and if it holds again, this one will be the Right Shoulder (RS). The 1W timeframe is technically neutral (RSI = 49.180, MACD = 258.440, ADX = 22.862), which makes it a solid buy opportunity on a two month perspective. Our target is the bottom of the R1 Zone (TP = 34,350).

DOW JONES Death Cross on 4h after 3 months.Dow Jones posted its first Death Cross on the 4h timeframe since February 22th.
This should prepare us for more selling if Support (1) breaks.
Trading Plan:
1. Sell under Support (1).
2. Buy over the MA200 (4h).
Targets:
1. 32450 (Channel Down bottom).
2. 34500 (Megaphone top and Resistance 1).
Tips:
1. RSI (4h) is posting a price action indentical to the one on the start of the Megaphone.

Notes:
Past trading plan:
DOW JONES Big Buy signal if it holds the 1D MA50Dow Jones (DJIA) has gone a long way since the efficient buy signal we gave exactly 2 months ago:
The index is right now testing the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), which has closed 3 straight 1D candles above it and 4 since May 04. Since it broke below the Channel Up, going to the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and 32800 is possible but not as long as it keeps closing above the 1D MA50, which has been established as the short-term Support. Instead, as long as it does, we are bullish and targeting 34250.

SPX | Waiting For The Miracle To ComeThis year has been very boring... Lot's of horizontal movement, not many interesting news.
Well, except of course that "a couple" of banks went bust.
But if I didn't tell you that, you couldn't tell where in this chart this occurred...
SPX, and the market in general, has been too stubborn despite the importance of the events occurring.
On the one hand, this makes sense. This kind of crisis (banking) has come before, so the markets are calm. A crisis comes when nobody expects it to. And by design, a crisis is an unknowing event of unknowing consequences. A bank going bust is not frightening anymore. The market expects the FED to step-in and bail everyone out.
But the FED cannot possibly bail anyone out. They cannot print any more money (we might have reached a debt ceiling), and even if they could, they could be unwilling to print more money. Inflation will get worse.
So no more money.
Dollar has served as the worldwide reserve currency, until now. China amongst other powerful nations, collaborate into creating an alternative reserve currency. One that will be controlled by them, not by a panicking (?) FED.
The FED might not be panicking, even if we believe that they are trapped. I believe that they have very good knowledge of what they do, and of the repercussions. Absurdly high interest rates can be a mechanism to increase the dollar purchasing strength. And you need purchasing power when you have enemies (Russia, China etc.)
Since 2015, this has worked out tremendously well. The Dollar is making higher highs.
Of course, there are many fundamentals (like the Dollar Milkshake) that push the dollar value to new highs. But interest rates are interest-ing (hahaha) to the Dollar.
And the Dollar is winning battles against many countries of the world.
And with lower money supply, it's value is fated to increase even further.
(I like real reality, not augmented reality, that's why I used M2REAL instead of M2SL)
The money supply is vacuumed back into the printer which created it. And the power of the vacuum is not big, it is exponential.
The Dollar Milkshake Black Hole is now open.
But how much can the FED possibly hike?
The discrepancy between the FED's rate and the Market's rate is at it's highest level. The FED may not be able to hike any higher against the market's expectance. Who knows what will happen if the FED overcomes this limit... (is it even fundamentally possible?)
Inflation is high and it is fated to increase even more. I have posted about it extensively.
The preview of this chart idea is broken, oops...
Now, oil is looking substantial signs of strength.
Oil, the main inflation influencer, is showing significant signs of bottoming. Furthermore, it has retested a trendline that followed us since 2008. Long-term, the only way for Crude is up!
And the only way for equities is down! Just to reach the mean, the OIL/SPX ratio has to increase by 75%. So there is much room upwards for commodities...
Have you realized what SPX has shaped into?
Could this be the anatomy of a bubble? And has it already broken?
It seems that the recession is only now just beginning.
During normal times for the US economy, equities could grow even as yields were increasing. Now we are entering a period of weakness for the economy. Something has to give, either the equities go bust, or the yield rates. (Equities have much more room to drop than Yields do)
A crisis is definitely inching towards us...
A final chart for today:
Equities used to grow as money was created. Now this chart has immense dynamics to move downwards. In a sense, equities have MUCH room downwards, even if money gets created. This comes to prove that equities cannot absorb any more money supply. Money printing from the FED cannot possibly help equities, no matter what they do, they are trapped inside the bearish wedge. Only way for equities is down!
And similarly for SPX
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
PS. What could these charts mean? Are they of any meaning after all?
A crisis is definitely itching towards us...
I HAVE to test. All the time. Or I get this... this ITCH. It must be hardwired into the system or something.

We will live to witness the greatest downward cycle DJI is in 5t wave soon to finish and soon ABC cycle will start.
The downward cycle will lead the prices to previous wave 4 towards 18000 levels
and Weekly chart:
and Daily chart:
Little bit of steam left that can take prices high, and therefore there is chance of up move in the short term
DOW JONES starting a new Channel UpDow Jones is forming a pattern much like January, which after a peak and rejection to a Lower Low, it started a Channel Up.
Both Lows have been formed on the exact price level (32950).
The 4hour RSI sequences are also similar.
The target on January's pattern was the peak's Resistance.
Buy and target 34200.

DOW JONES Channel Down emerging. This is its invalidation.Dow Jones (DJIA) is attempting to re-enter the Channel Down pattern that broke upwards, and on the bottom of which we gave the most efficient buy signal almost 2 months ago:
At the moment the index is on the build up of a Channel Down which targets 32600. We will only buy if the price closes above its top (Lower Highs trend-line) and target Resistance 3 at 34900. As far as a long-term buy is concerned, we are only interested in buying if a Bullish Divergence is spotted on the 4H RSI, same as on March 15.

50 years of chop.good morning,
---
what if i told you right now,
that the stock market was about to enter into a 50 year correction?
you'd probably dismiss it right away and go about your day,
and that's natural,
i get it.
---
i'm not here to appease to your overall bias -
in fact, i am here to directly oppose it.
---
what i'm bringing to you today,
is the idea of the completion of the primary third wave in the stock market.
>if one looks at the yearly picture, one will notice a bearish divergence between the intermediate 3rd and 5th wave, of the primary degree wave (3).
>this is highly indicative that the wave has indeed been completed.
---
i am estimating that the 4th wave takes roughly 50 years to complete, and i theorize that it has begun as of the recent top in 2022.
the original author of this idea was robert pretcher (the writer of elliott wave theory principle),
this idea was initially introduced to me by my mentor, @bitdoctor a few years back.
it has lingered in my mind through out the years, it has haunted me every single day as i have been looking for ways to confirm or find a way to invalidate it.
as of today, i believe i have the necessary data to prove their original theory to be in fact, true.
---
>this doesn't mean that we can't make a new high, in fact that is not what i'm trying to say here at all.
>what i'm simply stating here, is that there's an extremely high probability that the stock market is going to move sideways for the next 50 years.
>i might even be early a few years here, so please don't use this idea as any kind of financial advice, because quite frankly - it is very far from it.
---
the minimum downside target for the macro fourth wave,
is the previous degree wave 4 territory,
which in this case sits between :
$7,000 -12,000.

Targets:
1. 34350 (top of the Megaphone).
Tips:
1. The RSI (4h) is identical to the RSI of the 1st Bullish Leg.

SPX | Of Course I'm Lying (?)I am not lying.
I am completely disproving my latest idea, on how to short SPX. That idea went on Editors' Picks. And I am now killing it.
I am not kidding, April Fools is for fools. I don't consider me or you a fool. So I am being serious.
Chart analysis is not always straightforward. Pinpointing tops and bottoms is the ultimate bet for a trader. As most of you know, this is very hard sometimes.
In 99% of a chart's movement, the trend is continuing. A significant trend change is very rare. Significant evidence for a trend reversal are VERY RARE, and not apparent in all timeframes.
This is a chart that shows clear evidence of reversals. On the weekly timeframe, SPX analysis has showed significant evidence of peaks and bottoms.
Believe it or not, SPX and NDX are showing evidence of going long.
But what about long-term?
Now THAT is a hard conversation.
KST (and many other indicators) can show us incredibly early signs of price stagnation.
Signs of stagnation in long-term charts however, can take DECADES to play out.
SPX/M2SL Technicals were peaking in 1957, but the peak in SPX prices came 6 years later.
For the standard SPX chart, things took even longer to play out.
It is as if we are in 1957. And there is more evidence towards such a realization.
What I did here was basically compare the .com bubble with the Roaring '20s.
The .com bubble was just a very-fast version of the Roaring '20s. If we slow down NDX a little, we end up with the following:
The effect of bubbles is apparent in different periods, and in different scales. The same laws that shaped the 1950-1980 price movement, may be dictating the movement of today's stock market.
The Roaring '20s still has an effect on our moves. We may be living inside the reality-distortion field of the .com bubble.
KST Peaking is an EXTREMELY early sign of stagnation. Price continues upwards, albeit at a slower rate.
Now as we speak, KST reaches this exact point of peaking. This has proved an extremely early sign of stagnation.
Will this time be different, and instead KST is showing an immediate sign, an abrupt crash?
Perhaps things are too simple after all.
Long Live the US!
P.S. Remember, the stock market is for the patient ones, those who plan for decades ahead.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
SPX | Another LieOrdinarily, I wouldn't contemplate them... but these *are* extraordinary times.
- G-Man
A bank just went broke, oops! It was certainly something we expected. With money literally burning, these kinds of events are expected. So what might be ahead of us?
The rate-hike schedule went relatively smooth sailing until now. But just last week something changed... When the first bank failed, the consensus shifted from calm to fearful.
Now the market is pricing-in the coming yield-peak. This goes hand-in-hand with the yield-curve correcting. At that time, the market expects only short-term yields to increase, while long-term ones will slowly and steadily drop.
Back in 2018, we were begging for the FED to lower the interest rates so as the economy to "grow".
Little did we know, that by lowering rates we were pulling the rug from underneath our own feet.
Equities growing when cutting rates is cheaty...
Now we have the same. We beg for the FED to stop burning money and calm the liquidity crisis that is building-up around us.
This bankruptcy may prove an event that causes even a premature FED pivot. At any rate, both charts and simple logic call for a pause in the rate-hike schedule.
So what can we expect? What I talked about in the original cake. Unsurprisingly, I expect equities to grow next year. Their price will increase while their true "value" will drop. While a sell-off may occur in the weeks to come, this will give the signal that the bottom is in. I believe however that this capitulation will not be the main "event".
The 2018 "Recession" had some violent drops. A sudden 20% drop in 3 months in Q4-2018 was definitely something that conquered the headlines. Passing through that gave the signal that a bottom was already in. The same consensus may be brewing now. Surely the FED cannot tighten further. Surely they will step-in an cautiously calm the financial markets.
The calm will come, and it will stay for some months. Until the calm erodes. And if rates drop, the economy itself will silently erode. Until the building collapses, at a time nobody expects it to.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
