The Big Bullish Elliott Wave Picture for Stocks

Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2010 Oct 13, 2010 - 10:43 AM GMT

By: David_Banister

Stock-Markets Back in late February 2009 I decided enough was enough, and I stuck my neck out and called for a massive bull market in stocks. I based this prediction purely on Elliott Wave patterns I identified as bottoming and the sentiment gauges were off the charts bearish. We had not seen sentiment that negative since the 2002 lows.  The re-tracement of the SP 500 over the eight odd years was a textbook Elliott Wave pattern, and frankly I think I was the only person who noticed the significance of the 666 low as it related to the 1974 SP 500 lows to 1999/2000 highs.  Why was that 666 number so significant and a key indicator of a major bear market cycle low?  Well the reason is that marked a clear wave 2 elliott wave bottom both in price, and sentiment, and time all at once.


At that level, the SP 500 believe it or not,  had retraced an exact 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 1974 lows to the 1999 highs.  That was very significant in that the market bottomed right there, and then began rallying upwards.  At that point, it confirmed what I predicted in February of 2009, that we would begin a massive bull market up in stocks.  The correction from the 1999-2000 highs lasted about 8 fibonacci years roughly, and retraced 61% (Fibonacci golden ratio) of the 25 year advance.  Everyone was bearish at the lows, again, a confirming piece of evidence to get long in the winter of 2009. That brings us forward in this new bull market to October, 2010.  Clearly, we bottomed in March of 2009 at 666, but it was not random at all.

We are now in the early stages of a big wave 3 up in the markets.  Wave 1 ended in April 2010 (A 5 wave structure completes a large wave 1 pattern).  Then wave 2 corrected in A B C fashion, which had a 38% fibonacci retracement of the prior 13 month rally.  That  completed wave 2 down into July 1st, and sentiment again was horrible at the recent 1040 pivot.

Now, a wave 3 structure (5 total waves) to the upside begins at 1010 on July 1st with a move to 1130, then a wave 2 to 1040, and now a wave 3 up still in progress to 1220 if I’m right.  Bottom line is the long term trends are bullish until the wave patterns materially change. Once 1220 is hit, we likely get a pullback wave 4 down, then a 5th wave up to new highs past the April 2010 highs.

Below is the simplest of SP 500 charts with some basic Elliott Wave labels. Getting complex with Elliott Wave forecasting is not a good idea: Best to you and your trading!

Contrary Opinion

I simply have to say that I became short-term bearish the instant I read Banister's essay. Traders and commentators as varied as R. Earl Hadady, Gary Smith and Nicholas Darvas have all warned that it is too late to be BULLISH when commentators turn BULLISH. The easy money has already been made. Now, if Banister had penned his essay on August 27, 2010, I would have listened and paid rapt attention. (And by the way, I turned BULLISH on August 25, 2010 and made my book for the year in my retirement account/smile. But I digress.)

Investing 101 teaches that media trumpeting of a BULL MARKET is inconsistent with a BULL MARKET. I respect Banister and consider him part of the media coverage of the market. I recall August 25. That morning, there was a newspaper cover story about how dreadful things were in the market. There seemed to be no rational reason to invest. I was afraid of the Hindenburg Omen and the Grand Cardinal Cross. LOL! (Try again, Mr. Crawford.)

I'm just saying that the good money is made by going opposite sentiment in market and media commentary. (See Contrary Opinion by R. Earl Hadady.) Banister's essay made me a BEAR for now. I went to 100% cash yesterday morning.

Thank you, Mr. Banister.

If I had the free time, I would draft a full-length essay because my feelings are strong on the matter of fading media sentiment.

Good investing to all!
