My Thoughts *Not sure if the much anticipated correction has started, it looks like so though.

SHORT-TERM: THE REBOUND TODAY IS MORE LIKELY TO FAIL

The rebound today stopped right at Fib 50%, so it’s very hard to say whether the rebound was over or there’s more, need see tomorrow. Basically, I believe the rebound eventually would fail and at least the today’s low will be tested. The reasoning is, besides the general pattern, you Earth people (remember, I’m from Mars?) always like to try twice before trying the opposite side, the ChiOsc on SPY 60 min chart is way too high which means at least an intraday pullback.

SPY15min

Nothing else to say, whether the 01/18 highs is the high, bears at least need show us a 1-2-3 Trend Change pattern. So far, I don’t see one, so again, we’ll have to wait. From all the bearish signals piled up in the table above, chances that 01/18 highs is the high are fairly high, especially today we have yet another reliable top signal confirmed: 0.0.2 Combined Intermediate-term Trading Signals. The 3 point validated trend line was broken yesterday, but given the lesson I learnt last time, I didn’t blah blah yesterday. But today, no doubt, it’s a clear breakout, so I believe the top signal is valid and confirmed. Well, let’s see if it works or not this time.

CPCEWatch

INTERMEDIATE-TERM: COULD BE WAVE 5 UP TO SPX 1300+, PIVOT TOP COULD BE AROUND 01/05 TO 01/12

The price and time target I’ve been blah blah for the intermediate-term has finally been met, although the time target seems a little too early but let’s give it another week to see whether the forecast is good or bad. See 01/14 Market Recap for more details.

SEASONALITY: BULLISH TUESDAY, BEARISH FRIDAY, HORRIBLE WHOLE WEEK

See 01/14 Market Recap for more details. Also see 12/31 Market Recap for the January seasonality chart.

  1. Please make sure you understand how to use the table above. The purpose of this report is to provide info so contradictory signals are always presented.
  2. Conclusions can be confirmed endlessly, but trading wise, you have to take actions at certain risk level as soon as you feel the confirmation is enough. There’s no way for me to adapt to different risk levels therefore no trading signals will be given in this report except the mechanical signals such as SPY ST Model.
