And what needs to happen for that to change
Technical indicators have confirmed a synchronized upturn in two important intermediate cycles. Cycle projections point higher in the near term, and updated long term cycle projections point significantly higher. This report shows the confirmation signs and delineates the trend levels that would need to break to indicate a change in the outlook.
Consider a bore market
Intermediate cycle lows have formed, and cycles are conducive to strength in the weeks ahead. But what if there’s no strength? For now the setup would favor …
Could be rounded bottoms or spike heels
Intermediate cycle lows are set to form, but this morning’s weak pre market raises questions about the shape. Monday’s closing level should tell tales.
Resistance is futile, or is it?
I have reversed the usual posting order this week, posting the lengthy and detailed Macroliquidity™ report on Monday instead of later in the week as…
The market is holding just under resistance, with the S&P 500 stalling at a multiple trend convergence zone and support suggested just below. Longer-cycle indicators show signs of a top, while the 6-month cycle remains uncertain. Short-term cycles are in a down phase, though a 4-week bounce is expected to begin from a low due xxxx xxxx xxxx. The Dow, VIX, and cycle screening data all have cautionary setups, although the market’s long-term uptrend channel remains intact.

The rally slowed last week after the market punched through major resistance to make new highs. The structure of the rally is intact, despite the slowing, but under the surface there are signs from the cycle screens that the advance is deteriorating. Meanwhile cycle projections still point higher across the board. They are consummations devoutly to be wished by some, and dreaded by others. For us, they are maximum potential indications. Indicator signals, and breaks of the key support or resistance will be the signs to tell us whether to stay in, bail out, or go short.
Last week’s geopolitically driven breakout confirmed the intermediate-term uptrend, creating a meltup channel in the S&P 500. Cycle projections have moved higher across the board. The short-term technical setup favors further gains. The longer-term trend remains bullish until major support levels shown in the report are broken.
Friday’s rally kept the S&P 500 in a rangebound pattern now three months old, with cycle work pointing toward xxxxxx formation stretching into September-October even as a longer-term path to xxxx stays on the table if resistance gives way.
