A Perspective on the Markets

Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016 May 11, 2016 - 03:51 PM GMT

Good Morning!

I wanted to do a survey of the major domestic stock indices to get a “feel” for where we may be.

The first is the NDX, which has the cleanest pattern. Note the clear (no overlap) pattern in the decline. This decline begs to be extended in a series of impulsive declines. In a measured decline, the NDX may drop to 3724.00, below both the February and the August lows.


The final wave up to the 2104.27 high on December 2 is five waves and appears truncated. This would make sense, as it appears to be a hybrid of the NDX and the DJIA which we will view next. Based on that view, the pattern finally comes into focus. A measured decline may go to 1805.00, which is all it needs technically to usher in a Wave 3 of (3).

This has been a difficult pattern to follow. Without the NDX as a guideline, the pattern may be even more difficult.

INDU is another pattern altogether. It had more strength in the latest rally, but would be expected for a Wave (C). Now its must decline beneath 17450.00 to re-establish the downtrend. You can see where some technicians are viewing this as a Triangle pattern. However, 5-wave patterns do not appear in a Triangle pattern and the Triangle appears to be broken prematurely.

This decline would be expected to go beneath the lower trendline, even in a Triangle.

The rally from the USD low does not appear to be impulsive. That implies one more probe lower to the 90.50 low we have been discussing. Wave [c] equals wave [a] at 91.03. A caution…should the decline reverse at the Cycle Bottom support at 93.04, the decline may be complete.

This may catch traders wrong-footed. CNBC reports, “Following disappointing jobs data last week and the ensuing uptick for the greenback, Goldman Sachs has said the dollar has reached a bottom from the perspective of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

In a note late Tuesday on the performance of the greenback, Goldman Sachs said last week's disappointment on payrolls offers an important insight on positioning.

Even though the data was weaker-than-expected, the dollar rose marginally in the minutes after the release. A surprise move considering that disappointing data usually increases the chances of a central bank being more dovish.”

USB appears to be in need of a final probe higher to complete the Wave structure. It must at least exceed the Feb 11 high at 167.53. Note that there is more of an (inverse) correlation between USB and equities than the USD. That may change as USB reaches its peak.

Regards,

Tony
