Formulating a Stock Market Trend Forecast for 2023
Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2023 Dec 28, 2022 - 06:48 AM GMTThe character of this bear market has been changing since the June low, first came the break above 33.3k into the August FOMO peak. and then came the decline to 28.7k that whilst a new bear market low was weak in trend channel terms.
so what is going on?
ACCUMULATION is what's going on, Accumulating since the June low. It should be fairly obvious that there is a lot of buying gone on and market manipulation so as to allow it to happen. It's as though the wolfs of wall street are leading the retail investor lambs to slaughter as the retail crowd are dealt hammer blows in either direction aimed at fleecing them of their wealth.
The smart money is accumulating! All whilst MSM and the blogosfear literally paint a perpetual picture of DOOM and FEAR that they STILL sustain despite what we witnessed earlier this week! INVESTORS have been conditioned to expect the likes of S&P 3200 as a done deal, when the reality is NOTHING is a done deal!
Furthermore even thought the purpose of this analysis is to conclude in a Dow trend forecast, I consider the indices to be a red herring, as it's all about the stocks! Many great stocks are trading at huge discounts to the indices for instance Qualcom on a PE of 10! AMD 17, TSMC 14, AMAT 11, Micron 6, Lam Research 12 and so on. This is what investing is all about, identifying good stocks and accumulating them when they are cheap, the indices are a side show, but they remain the focus of most.
Having scoured this analysis a dozen times what sticks out the most in terms of weighting are
1. that valuations HAVE moderated and will continue to do so. So gone are the ridiculous P/E's of late 2021.
2. A recession is brewing, due to hit the US during the 2nd half of 2023 in advance of which the Fed will have completed it's rate hikes to probably well below the markets worst expectations i.e. they may not even make it to 4%.
3. This is not really a bear market, to me it does not feel like a bear market. Where is the PANIC? Okay so the uK did panic, but the decline in the indices has been orderly. The swings are orderly, muted even as though engineered, this is evident by the failure of the VIX to spike instead unnaturally has remained range bound.
4. Bond markets have done their worst and look like they are bottoming..
5. Seasonal analysis and the Presidential election cycle are painting a compelling picture for a strong 2023. After all a strong down year tends to be followed by a strong up year.
