Market Analysis – B wave higher is path of least resistance, targets 2575, 2620, 2715
200 Week EMA line holds like Feb 2016 lows!
For the week ending Jan 4th, indices rallied to close the deficit from being down double digits year to date in mid Dec to only down single digits by year end – a small consolation for a very wild and volatile year.
Last week was a good start to undo some of the technical damage done to stocks in the month of December. As we said, we define a Bear Market as when the preponderance of stocks are trading below their 50 day moving averages.
Week ending 12/28: | |
SP 500 | +1.9% |
Russell 2000 | +3.2% |
Nasdaq 100 | +2.2% |
Dow Jones 30 | +1.6% |
The SP 500 was down -6.2% for 2018.
We still maintain that Interim A wave bottomed at 2346, and are currently in the midst of C of Interim B wave targeting 2620 (A = C off 2346 lows) up to 2717.
Notice, we have had 10 year cycle crashes occur pretty predictably since as far back as we can remember. See 1987, 1998, 2008, 2018.
We also note that almost every major blue chip tech stock like Apple, Netflix, Amazon etc all came down to their 200 week MA lines, along with the SP 500 and every other major index both in the US and around the world for that matter. This would be normal Bear cycle bottoming type activity within a long term uptrend if those lines end up holding later on.
What’s also interesting to note is how crude oil tends to lead major market inflection points by 10 years. Chart included at bottom. Crude oil tops in 1990, 1997, 2000, 2008 preceded SP 500 tops in 2000, 2007, 2010, 2018.

Bottom Line:
We are in an Interim Wave B up from the ABC – A to 2346 on SP 500. We should work our way towards 2572 and 2620 resistance soon as a first test, but some back filling of last 2 weeks’ rally could take place first, given the market is up +8% off the lows. There will continue to be large weekly volatility in Q1 2019.
That said, we see lots of opportunities in 2019 to make money in a more volatile market!
