Stock Market New Cycle Begins
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011 Oct 06, 2011 - 04:33 AM GMTFollowing the September 22, 2011 Market Minute titled "Nearing the low" today's market action suggests that the expected trough has likely occurred.
Over the past two months, models have been indicating the low for the 14-16 week cycle should arrive from late September to early October. The strong reversal on the 4th and today in global markets would correspond with that pattern.
Opposite correlated securities are also expressing stalling or weakness in their trading today. The VIX and the US dollar index both are showing signs of declining.
Bottom line: A one or two day movement does not make a new trend. However should equity markets continue to advance over the next day or two, then the probability increases that a short term low has been established. As stock markets trade on the regular 14-16 week cycle, the start of a new cycle would indicate more positive markets can be anticipated in October.
It is important to remember that the primary trend is still down. Bear market bounces last only 4-6 weeks on average. The next low anticipated in early January.
More market research will be in the upcoming November newsletter.
