A 10-12 month cycle high is now ideally due within xxxxxxxx (in subscriber report), with a final projection of 4440.

But the 13 week and 6 month cycles appear to be in trending mode, with no projections. Shorter term cycles remain in up phases. The 6-7 week cycle has a projection of xxxx (subscriber report).

On the third rail chart the market has formed a new short term channel. It’s lower bound rises from around 4450 to 4500 this week. Additional multiple support lines are rising just below that. The lowest is heading for xxxxx (subscriber report) this week. That needs to break to consider the possibility of a downside reversal.

On the weekly chart, long term cycle momentum has broken out. This suggests that the market could go higher for longer, which means perhaps 4-6 months, or perhaps years. Cycle oscillators are also very strong. This isn’t set up for a top. Trend support is now at 4370. Resistance and a possible near term target is at xxxx (subscribers only).

Long term cycle projections point to xxxx to- xxxx with highs due between August and xxxxx.

On the monthly chart, the S&P 500 would need to end August below 4200 to signal a potential reversal of the uptrend. If the SPX clears long term trend resistance around 4500, the target would rise to xxxx.

The long term cycle momentum indicator remains bullish.

Cycle screening measures remain bullish.

The chart picks report will be posted on Monday morning.

Chart Picks – 41 Buy Signals and 28 Sell Signals Give Us 3 Picks

Lee Adler

The limited number of open picks managed a slight positive last week as the market edged to a new high by a hair. There were 3 open longs and one open short.

This Friday’s screens had a bullish tilt, with 41 buy signals and 28 sell signals. This indicates minimal thrust and some drag but it’s enough to keep the averages churning higher in small increments.

I liked the setups on xxx, and xxx as longs, and xxx (in subscriber report) as a short. I will track these as of Monday’s opening price.

We’re There, And Here’s Where That Is

A 10-12 month cycle high is now ideally due within xxxxxxxx (in subscriber report), with a final projection of 4440 and a 13 week cycle high is ideally due on xxxxx, this week.

We’re there, but would I bet on it? No. Short term cycles are bullish, and both the 6 month and 13 week cycles seem to be trending. So I would like to see evidence that the trend is broken.

I don’t mind being a little late at the top. Betting on the short side has been a tough way to make money.

On the third rail chart the market continues rising within multiple channels. Short term channel support rises from 4400 to 4435 this week. Additional multiple support lines rising from around xxxx and xxxx should contain any pullback. Major trend support is around xxxx (subscriber report). Only if all of those are broken could is a significant reversal possible.

On the weekly chart long term cycle momentum broke out last week, ending a negative divergence. This suggests that the market could go higher for longer, which means perhaps xxxx months, or xxxxx. Cycle oscillators are also very strong. This isn’t set up for a top.

Trend support is now at xxxxx. Resistance and a possible near term target is at xxxx.

Long term cycle projections point to xxxx-xxxx with highs due between xxxx and xxxx.

On the monthly chart, the S&P 500 would need to end August below 4200 to signal a potential reversal of the uptrend. If the SPX clears long term trend resistance around 4500, the target would rise to xxxx.

The long term cycle momentum indicator remains bullish.

Chart Picks – Trading Range Death Trap Yields Two Picks

Lee Adler

While the market averages edged to new highs last week, that’s deceptive as most stocks stayed rangebound. That’s a death trap for swing trades, and it depressed performance for a third straight week.

This Friday’s screens were bearish, with 12 buy signals and 28 sell signals. That suggests some downside ahead but so far in the pre market, the bulls are in charge. I liked the setups on two of the charts. One was a short xxxx (subscribers only). The other was a long, xxxx. I’ll add those to the list as of Monday’s opening prices. Charts below.

Cycle time and price projections suggest that the market is getting close to a high. But it’s not there yet. The 13 week cycle high is ideally due around xxxxxx (in subscriber report), with a projection of xxxx (in subscriber report). The 6 month cycle still seems to be in trending mode with a new projection of xxxx. The 10-12 month cycle is ideally due to top out within x weeks, with a new projection of xxxx.

On the third rail chart the market continues rising within multiple channels. Short term channel support rises from 4370 to 4405 this week. Additional multiple support lines rising from around 4360 and 4330 should contain any pullback. Major trend support is around xxxx (in subscriber report). Only if all of those are broken could is a significant reversal possible.

On the weekly chart, a possible target of this move is now at xxxx. The market would now need to conclusively break xxxx to signal a reversal.

Long term cycle projections point to xxxx with highs due between xxxx and xxxx.

On the monthly chart, the S&P 500 would need to end August below xxxx to signal a potential reversal of the uptrend. If the SPX clears long term trend resistance around 4500, the target would rise to xxxx in August.

The long term cycle momentum indicator remains bullish.

Cycle screening measures remain bullish, despite Friday’s pullback.

Chart Picks – Dipping Two Toes in the Meat Grinder

Lee Adler

The meat grinder tore up my picks last week, wiping out more than a month’s worth of hard won average gains. Attempting swing trades of expected duration of 3-4 weeks in a weakly trending market with lots of chop, is virtually a fool’s errand at this point. Day trading, or buy and hold, has worked a lot better lately. C’est la vie. C’est la marche.

History tells us that conditions in force tend to remain in force until they don’t. It’s market inertia. So I approach my short term picks at this point with high skepticism. I continue to dip a toe in the water with a pick here and, but no more than that, until I see signs of good performance. This week I saw two charts that I liked enough to add to the list. Both were in the agricultural sector.

This Friday’s screens were bullish with 55 buy signals and 19 sell signals. That suggests more upside ahead.

Prices Show Us Not to Argue with Mother Market

Lee Adler

All swing cycles are back in gear but only one of them has a projection. Meanwhile, we know that one major cycle is due to top out at any time between now and September. We’re on the alert for the signs from the indicators for that cycle (shown in subscriber report).

The market closed Friday at trend resistance on the third rail chart. That resistance starts the week at 4433 and rises to 4455. Clearing that line would indicate acceleration. Massive trend support lies between 4270 and 4335. That would need to be broken to signal reversal.

On the weekly chart, the SPX had a false breakdown from the uptrend line off the October 2020 low. The market would now need to conclusively break 4230 to signal a reversal on this chart. Trend resistance and a possible target of this move is now at xxxx (in subscriber report).

Long term cycle projections point to xxxx-xxxx (subscriber report) with highs due between xxxx and xxxx.

On the monthly chart, if the SPX clears long term trend resistance at 4410, the next target in July would be xxxx. In August, that would rise to xxxx (subscriber report).

The long term cycle momentum indicator remains bullish.

Cycle screening measures reversed their recent weakness. They have sent misleading signals in recent weeks. Price trends themselves must always be the finally arbiter of any trend analysis.

The chart picks report will be posted on Monday morning.

Chart Picks – This Market is Hamburger

Lee Adler

I often refer to rangebound markets as meat grinders for swing trading purposes. The more tightly rangebound they become, the more false signals are generated, and the more whipsaws there are. This market certainly qualifies. Last week’s list got ground to a pulp. All 6 picks had minor losses. Two got stopped out, and one will be dropped as of today’s open.

In the weekly market update, we saw a pileup of inconclusive data. Again, the trading range is both cause and effect of the lack of conviction by either buyers or sellers. The market hasn’t yet tipped its hand on which way it will break out. Both for the broad market indicators and the individual stock charts, the data simply screams for us to do nothing.

Last week, I even warned about that, despite a huge number of buy signals.

The enormous bullish spread on Friday would normally suggest thrust, and a new upleg, meaning that this rally would be likely to run for weeks. But, once again, I wasn’t impressed after eyeballing all 152 of the charts with signals. Most looked to be of the rangebound whipsaw variety. I didn’t see that many that appeared to be in an early upmove setup.

Unfortunately, I found 5 charts last week that I liked enough to add to the list. Blech.

This Friday’s screens were even-steven with 27 buy signals and 29 sell signals. Not only did the ambiguity show up on the list as a whole, but the individual charts were equally ambiguous. Lots of rangebound whipping, with little sign of either an up or down follow through. One of the charts even had signals in both directions.

In the end I only found one that I thought had a decent low risk, high potential reward setup. That was ….., and it was a short.

Here’s What Friday’s Selloff Means for Our Future

Lee Adler

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

Cycles up to 13 weeks probably turned down on Friday. However, the 13 week cycle still has an unmet projection of xxxx (in subscriber report) that can’t be ruled out unless the market breaks hard early this week. There’s not enough evidence that the 6 month or 10-12 month cycle have topped out either. A 10-12 month cycle high is due between xxxxx and xxxxx (in subscriber report). There are currently no projections on those cycles for the SPX, and a projection of xxx on QQQ.

There was less there than meets the eye in Friday’s reversal on the third rail chart. Support lines start the week at xxxx and xxxx and rise to xxxx and xxxx (in subscriber report). Breaking those would signal possible intermediate trend reversal. There’s another trendline running from xxxx to xxxx  that could also be support. It too would need to be broken for bears to get a foothold

On the weekly chart, SPX is hanging on to the pinnacle of a wedge. The negative divergence in the long term momentum indicator looks similar to the one that preceded the February 2020 top. A down week this week could trigger a decline to xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx. That’s the big boy they’d need to break to set off a possible bear market.

Long term cycle projections point to xxxx-xxxx with highs due between next month and sometime next year.

On the monthly chart, the upper channel line will be around xxxx at the end of July. A much longer term trendline represents support around xxxx in July.

The long term cycle momentum indicator remains bullish.

Cycle screening measures were weak again, continuing a pattern of negative divergence that become glaring last week. I have warned that this pattern was a warning, and now I’m warning that the warning seems ready to bear bearfruit.

Where The End Stage Rally is Headed

Lee Adler

Most cycles are in up phases or trending mode. Cycle projections range from xxxx-xxxx. Time analysis suggests that concurrent up phases should last xxxx xxxx (in subscriber report). A 10-12 month cycle high is due xxxx. There’s currently no projection on that cycle.

Subscription Plans

The S&P starts the week at the top of a short term channel on the third rail chart. Trend resistance runs from 4373 to 4395 this week. Support runs from 4324 to 4345, with more important support starting at 4260 and rising to 4300. If the market stays between those lines, the trend status quo stays in force. An upside breakout would indicate acceleration. A downside breakout would suggest a possible change of trend.

On the weekly chart, the SPX has cleared wedge resistance at 4320 and is now taking aim at channel resistance at 4500. It would need a weekly close below xxxx (in subscriber report) to break the uptrend.

New long term cycle projections point to xxxx-xxxx (in subscriber report) with highs due between xxxxxxx and xxxxxxxx.

On the monthly chart, June ends with the S&P testing an upper channel line at 4280. That line will be around 4350 at the end of July. A longer term trendline represents additional resistance around 4400. A much longer term trendline represents support around 4185 in July.

The long term cycle momentum indicator remains bullish.

Cycle screening measures were notably weak, considering the broad market averages made a new high. They are barely positive, and ominous negative divergences persist. I have deferred to the standard price indicators. The weakness in the cycle screening numbers should be taken as a warning.

The chart pick list has been dead in the water. False signals have proliferated as the market has churned around new highs, with no broad strength. Despite a huge number of new buy signals on Friday, most appear to be the result of rangebound noise.
