UPDATE:
Nasdaq Composite. Note how the internal pressure volume ratios relives itself in a price downturn. It is still highly elevated but not as extreme. In other words, if prices are to again attain an all-time high, the ratios would probably start to rise in a more extreme manner again.
Big divergence also. DJIA tagging 32,000 on a "breakout" and the Composite floundering a bit way beneath its high.
The way to "fix" all this craziness is to sell, sell, sell and find true price discovery and not a gamma-induced frenzy mania high.
UPDATE:
Tonight's CPCE print; 0.35! Madness!
UPDATE:
Bonds. Puking. I suggested there was not much support on this chart until much lower. It has headed down that way ever since.
UPDATE:
LOL! GME rallying again and good for it! I hope it can finish the job and make it to the moon! (ala $1000/share).
(AMC and others rallying also)
One of the more perplexing things is trying to figure out the DJIA count. This has factored into the overall theme of things.
Back on 5 January, I emailed Mr. Robert Prechter with a (unpublished on this blog) DJIA count with a target of 32,248 based on where the rise from March 2020 to the ultimate peak would be a Fibonacci 1.236 times the drop of the Feb to March 2020 low. In other words, a "false [B] wave peak". I labeled this as 1 degree higher in that it would match Mr. Prechter's DOW/PPI (DOW divided by Producers Price Index) all-time count wave labeling. I also generally predicted a late February high if you look closely...
The proposed squiggles of that email doesn't quite exactly match up with what has occurred since that early 2021 date, but it is very similar nonetheless. Will we reach DOW 32,248 after all? It seems it could be likely. This would strengthen the overall (B) wave count I have been showing in the Wilshire 5000....
And today's actual DJIA structure in which I have not labeled it completely yet (and labeled as (5) of [5] no less), only showing wave patterns; No longer very far from that 32,248 target in late February no less....ORIGINAL POST
More extreme and extremer is now the general theme for the stock market. As alluded to in last night's update, the stock market is likely trading in the "death zone". In mountains that have a height above 8,000 meters, generally the "death zone" is anything above 26,000 feet. In my stock market allegory, anything above DJIA of 26,000 can be described as the death zone. I would even venture to say that anything above Wilshire 5000 average above 26,000 is also probably the death zone. But whatever, you get the point. And the theme is that it cannot last for a long time because death of the entire market will occur if too much time is spent above these extreme levels.
The market reacted to a swift downdraft yesterday morning by getting bid up again in a very aggressive bid - a historic "gamma squeeze" bid yet again.
Last Monday's holiday trading and Tuesday morning overnight/premarket trading saw the S&P e-minis (and extrapolated to the Wilshire5000 for which the S&P500 is so closely associated) traded at approximately Wilshire 42,450 which I had identified as a possible stopping point for the all-time peak. The market never traded that high in the day session. Having an all-time peak occur in overnight trading is probably not agreeable with the market. It is perhaps attempting to make up for that price in the regular session.
THE COUNTS
The rise from early November to last week's high counts as a completed structure. Therefore if any new high occurs we have to use the November low as a wave [ii] marker. I have shown this variation of the overall count off and on over the last many months. It comes front and center as a result of today's trading because it represents the best interpretation of the overall structure at this point in time.
This is still the "false peak" count. 42,485 is now probably the ideal target.
There is another way to label thing since the March 2020 low...as a 5 wave structure with a wave 5 that keeps delaying the inevitable slaughter that is yet to come.
