Stock Market Forecasting using Elliott Waves
Corrections on all degrees unfold into a known pattern. More times than not, it is a 3-wave pattern:
- A wave down
- B wave that fails to make new highs
- C wave down to new lows
This move is also symmetrical. So far we have a complete corrective structure in place. We can make one lower, but it will likely be on less volume and less momentum than previous moves down.
We’re Approaching a Major Inflection Point
Starting July 20th, 2022 – August 03, 2022, we will approach a major inflection point. This is the most important cycle in play since 2018. It showed up at every major top since 2018, and it’s showing up again next week.
“This is the most important cycle in play since 2018” -Knox Ridley, I/O Fund Portfolio Manager
Semiconductor Stocks - New Low in a Bear Market
"Semiconductor stocks hit a new low” – Knox Ridley, I/O Fund Portfolio Manager
Semiconductors have been leading each move in this bear market. They made a new low while the broad market has not. This suggests that semis may be bottoming before the broad market, and we could see further weakness going into next week and the week after.
This Week’s Broad Market Signals to Look Out For
SPX Indicators
- If SPX can break above 3880, it will signal that a low is in place, and we will remove our hedge accordingly.
- Rates and USD are putting pressure on equities, and they appear to be very close to a reversal. This will likely coincide with some type of bottom in equities.
