DOW JONES, S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 FORECAST: REVERSAL OFF SUPPORT BULLISH

The S&P 500 pulled back to the trend-line running up from October 2020, a line that prior to yesterday had been tested and successfully held twice since early December. Yesterday’s slight breach of trend support and strong reversal suggests the dip may be over.

The powerful turnabout was the type of price action that one wants to see on a test of a major threshold of support. Whether it holds or not is the another question, but as long as the low (4582) of yesterday isn’t taken out on a closing basis then the benefit of the doubt lies to the top-side.

If the low is to hold, it likely won’t take long before a run back to the prior record high or better develops. To cross into fresh record territory the SPX needs to climb above 4818.

A breakdown below 4582 would be cause for concern, as the trend-line has been tested and held on numerous occasions. A breach could usher in a relatively aggressive decline as the market finds itself caught flat-footed on a failed buy-the-dip opportunity.

The Dow Jones didn’t tag any meaningful support, but this doesn’t come as a surprise given its overall relative strength compared to the SPX and NDX. It did reverse in similar fashion yesterday as the broader S&P, so the low at 35639 will be used similar to the corresponding SPX level of 4582. There is, however, a parallel to watch on a slight breach below yesterday’s low.

To break out to a new record high the Dow will need to trade above 39652. Should we see new record levels, though, it will be interesting to see how the top-side trend-line from May is treated as it has acted as ceiling just a recently as last week.

The Nasdaq 100 tagged and successfully held the lower trend-line of a channel dating to September 2020. The slight breach below the December lows was quickly reversed off the trend-line. The line-in-the-sand now for the NDX is 15165, yesterday’s low. A daily close below support would also have the Nasdaq 100 breaking down out of an important bull market channel – the implications could be big on the downside. But for now, the outlook is bullish until proven otherwise.

    • EAGLE-EYED traders/Investors would of without DOUBT noticed from the Mars/Jupiter 360 Heliocentric CHART above - a peculiar curiosity - applies to the SP500 only* for those that failed to notice that curiosity, here it is: There's ALWAYS some sort of sharp "plunge" around the time cycle This "plunge" and rally since 2000 has a hit/win rate of 89% In the months that follow, the "plunge" is NEARLY ALWAYS 100% fully RETRACED - do you think you could make money from that knowledge? Do you think options would be priced correctly at those lows? course they wouldn't, you could buy seriously cheap options out of the money at the lows or near the lows, knowing in the weeks/months to come price is heading back up to the plunge high! The only exception is 2000 - bigger knowledge of the overall 18 year cycle at work and the expectation that the bull market should top out  would of alerted you to the fact that the high of the cycle should of been in and to be followed by a 3 year bear market - BUT, you still got a plunge then a rally that nearly made it, but we'll class it as a fail for the sake of the % win rate above, technically, a plunge followed by rally happened, so if you accept that, then there's a 100% win rate covering 23 years Those with sharp eyes will see that the "form" isn't always exact - so you need to bear that in mind  - I'll let you work out how you approach the formation Couple of things to remember though is this: Unless the overall general market 18 year cycle is due to top, then the plunges are ALWAYS 100% GUARANTEED retraced That MEANS, that in the weeks or months that follow the plunge HIGH will be exceeded If you read this thread from post 1, you will notice a couple of numpties who said nothing in trading is guaranteed or certain - well as I said to them back then, there are a couple of certainties in the markets, if you look properly for them - they obviously had their eyes firmly shut! *This post is for the SP500 Index only - you MUST run the cycle on other markets to see if it impacts those markets or not, as not all cycles work to the same effect if you change the market - for example, the WHEAT market works off different cycles to those on the stock market - you must do your research Look at the cycle date near the 2002 low, it took 24 months ish to retrace, it retraced though! The reason it took so long was that other bigger cycle factors were at play at that time, namely the cycles that caused the end of the 3 year bear market crash and they HAD to end and form the 2003 low before the plunge retracement could complete, So when this M/J 360H cycle arrives at or around other larger cycle dates, you need to know and understand to allow time for the plunge retracement to complete - anyway you should get the idea Remember the overall 18 year cycle is UP until 2034 - this also MEANS that all corrections that the markets make will be RETRACED in full all the way up until 2034 THT 
    • As a crypto trader mastering the art of trade is quite a torturous journey; one that comes with patience and perseverance especially with the changes in regulatory requirements. As you know crypto trading requires a trader to carefully choose a secure and reputable exchange, one that can provide instructive charts that contains basic TA tools (those you can primarily find on Binance and Bitget)

Expectations of a potential turn lower back towards 7200 and further down have been cancelled out, with the index now targeting 7500 and 7650 to the upside. Source: ProRealTime DAX Thursday saw the index recoup lost ground and make a new record high, and with this now achieved bullish momentum will likely carry the price to fresh highs. There is still no sign of a pullback, and with the index at a new higher high even a drop back towards 15,800 would still be more of a potential buying opportunity.

Declines continue to target 4550 as an initial area of support. A recovery back above 4675 could easily see the buyers take control once again. Source: ProRealTime
