Elliott Wave Stock Market Update - November 30

Prices have continued to climb ending the week up almost 5% and right on the 200 DMA at 2760. I assume the catalyst for the next substantial market move will be the outcome of trade talks between Trump and Xi in Argentina. But looking at where the moving averages are headed, the death cross seems inevitable unless there is a bullish miracle. Also, I don't think China will yield much to pressure from Trump as the one that has the most to lose is actually Trump and the US. A big increase in tariffs to goods from China will be felt across the board in the US and have a significant inflationary effect. China will see their share of exports to the US shrink but after all, exports to the US are no more than 20% of their total so they are not exactly dependent on US trade. The bottom line is, if the trade war continues, China will see their economy slow down but we will see a recession  sooner than the anticipated in the US. Last but not least, the pressure is on Trump to bring home some sort of deal as he is the one running for re-election in 2 years. Xi is not under that type of pressure so he can drag his feet if he wants to.

Have a great weekend!

Elliott Wave Stock Market Update - November 28

The market posted one of the strongest bullish moves this year today and the close changes the Trend Average to bullish again given the strength of rally. The pattern could turn into cup and handle if the neckline forms in the next few days. I have to say today's move was unexpected given the bearish set up that had been working week for the past few weeks but now that the trend is bullish we should expect further upside until the rally exhaust itself. With that said, the death cross remains highly likely in the next few days and the long term trend will be turning bearish for the first time since 2016.

Elliott Wave Stock Market Update - November 27

The market climbed a bit higher today but again, the close is under the TA and the set up favors downside in the next few sessions. It will take a miracle to reverse the damage and the only thing I can think of would be a resolution to the trade war with China. Personally, I think more tariffs are coming plus a recession in the next year or two so I doubt the trade issue will be resolved at all. You can't force others to buy more from you if you don't have anything they want to buy. The only thing you can do is import less, which is what tariffs can do. In the end, the winners will be the ones that have been patiently waiting for a bear market for all these years.

Elliott Wave Stock Market Update - November 26

Prices staged a strong come back today but the market remains bearish biased. If the count posted is correct then we should see a stronger sell-off in the next few sessions to lower lows.

Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend!

Elliott Wave Stock Market Update - November 21

The market staged a counter-rally today that mostly faded by the end of the session. The lack of strength in the bounce shows lack of bullish confidence and Friday could get ugly if the count posted is correct. Prices are trading well below the main moving averages and a death cross will be imminent if the sell-off continues in the next few sessions.

Happy Thanksgiving!

"The pattern points to a potential sell-off next week "

The market lost substantial ground today and if 2670 is breached then it has the potential to go much lower. That will also confirm the likelihood of a bearish W3 and a test of the October low at 2603. A death cross is likely in the next couple of weeks unless the bearish pattern place is reversed.

Elliott Wave Stock Market Update - November 16

The market rose to test the TA early in the morning before giving up some of its gains. The pattern points to a potential sell-off next week if today's high at 2746 holds any more upside. If prices rally past resistance then bulls will have some breathing room but for now the market has a bearish set up with substantial downside.

Have a great weekend!
