Market Analysis – MASSIVE INTERIM BOTTOM? 2250-2350 likely
For the week ending Dec 21st, indices had one of their strongest down weeks on record – the 8th worst week since 1987. The SP 500 finished the week down -7.0%, the Russell 2000 down -8.4%, Nasdaq 100 down -8.3%, and the Dow down -6.9%. This past week was quadruple witching, where options, futures, etc all have expiration. Generally, this creates lots of volatility, and last week was evidence of that. Most indices have entered or are close to entering bear market status (>-20% declines from their yearly highs).
As we stated last week, until the market broke below 2600 (specifically 2580) for multiple sessions, we’d continue to stay range bound. All of last week’s daily closes were <2580, which represented the Feb and Apr lowest closing levels.
All eyes were on the Fed this past week, who raised the federal funds rate for the fourth time this year to the 2.25 – 2.50% range as the consensus had expected. While their decision to raise was expected, Fed Chairman Powell saying he doesn’t see the central bank changing the pace of its balance sheet runoff precipitated a waterfall decline in the market from his press conference through rest of week.
The SP 500 has exceeded 1:1 symmetry with the 337 point decline off 2941 measured from 2800, so next supports are 2383, 2334, and 2254, which represent measured extensions of the A wave decline.
This is clearly bear market price action, and it’s only a matter of time when the selling will subside, and we could see short covering rallies of 8-10% easy.
One possibility is a move to the 2250 area for the SP 500 after the debacle on Christmas Eve shortened trading day. That would represent multiple Fibonacci convergence zones from the 2009 low to the 2018 Bull Cycle highs. Also from the January Primary wave 4 lows of 1810-2940 Wave 5 highs, and finally where C or 3 is a Fibonacci ratio to A or 1 from the 2944 highs.
SP 500 Charts: C wave in progress <2600, extension targets 2383, 2334, 2254
