What’s Driving the Markets this Year? 

What’s been driving the markets this year? If your market research consists primarily of watching financial television channels, you’d swear that the Fed must be controlling all market movements like it was a puppet master!  The vast majority of TV pundits will answer questions about where the market is going next with at least some mention of the Fed.  Let’s look at all the Fed’s rate changes so far this year to see if they are producing consistent buy or sell signals for investors and traders.

How to Utilize Elliott Wave Plus

Welcome to the October 2022 Quarterly Premium Plan Webinar.  These quarterly events are Elliott Wave Plus’s most anticipated events. Our current subscribers find these recording extremely useful, as do our free visitors at ElliottWavePlus.com.  This video and blog will show how to best utilize our service offerings here at Elliott Wave Plus and will help new subscribers decide which subscription tier is right for them.

Quarterly Premium Plan Webinar and Sortable Spreadsheet – Aug 4, 2022

We believe our sentiment condition screenshots are so amazingly valuable to traders, we wanted to spend some time showing viewers how to read those charts, and how to utilize them in your trading. These charts show DSI (retail positioning), and multiple measures of commercials (the producers/hedgers) positioning. As we all know, retail traders are notoriously positioned on the wrong side of trade at major turns. Knowing retail vs commercial is crucial when timing your trades.

All About our Improved Nightly “Sentiment Conditions” Screenshots – from Elliott Wave Plus

It’s time for the Elliott Wave Plus Quarterly Premium Plan Webinar! Our Premium Plan is best known for supplying automated trade signals on about twenty different trade-able instruments to subscribers on a nightly basis. However, our longtime Premium Plan subscribers are telling us that our new, improved nightly “Sentiment Conditions” screenshots are easily worth the price of the subscription alone. See for yourself! We’ll spend most of the time in this online seminar revealing all aspects of our new improved Sentiment Conditions nightly screenshots. We’ll show how they can help subscribers become better informed about Commercials vs. Retail sentiment positioning, and how that knowledge can be extremely valuable when making trading decisions.  Time will be allotted for Q&A.

Are Interest Rates Topping? Has Inflation Peaked?

The following video clip from our April 10, 2022 Weekly Counts Webinar provide timely food for thought on those two questions. Possible conclusions are based on Elliott wave theory and its associated Fibonacci price targets, multi-decades trendlines (on semilog charts), and current sentiment conditions.
Rising Interest Rates and Inflation are all over the news. Conventional expectations of the directional market reactions to news have been consistently wrong. Investors are confused and worried. It’s time to get technical.
Technical analysis eliminates the worry and confusion. It ignores mainstream financial media, and their ridiculous, news-based explanations of why the market moves up and down. Elliott Wave theory, Cycle analysis and Sentiment Conditions are more important to traders and investors now than ever before.
The attached video clip was recorded on Sunday, April 12, and was a small portion of Sid’s Weekly Counts Webinar for ElliottWavePlus.com subscribers (Pro Plan and up).
In the video, Sid Norris examines TNX (bond yields), and TIP (Treasury Inflation Protection bonds). Are rates going to continue to skyrocket unabated? Is the aggressive inflationary period over?
Additional evidence of Sentiment extremes in bonds were presented later in the webinar. Here are current screenshots of current Sentiment Conditions in the ZB contract (30yr bonds), the ZN contract (10yr bonds), and the Japanese Yen, which is historically highly correlated with bonds. These screenshots show that Commercials are expecting rates to top about now (and bonds bottom), while retail traders, who are almost always wrongly positioned at major trend changes, think that rates will continue to aggressively rise. Premium Plan subscribers receive Sentiment Conditions screenshots on many tradable items nightly.

Every Wednesday and Sunday, we provide EWP Screenshots to subscribers (Basic Plan and up) on over two dozen popular trading instruments.  The following are the last nine of those for the S&P-500, starting Feb 23, 2022, the day before the first shots were fired in the Russia – Ukraine war:

Dow Jones Industrial Average | Comprehensive Technical Analysis

Dow Jones Industrial Average – Comprehensive Technical Analysis
Today’s video post is an excerpt of our January 2, 2022 weekly Counts webinar for Pro and Premium Plan subscribers at ElliottWavePlus.com.  This excerpt consists of Sid’s highly detailed coverage of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  Sid starts by showing a cluster of several long-term Fibonacci targets in the 41-44K range on the Dow.

Sid explains that all this market needs to produce that grand Supercycle wave 3 top is a completed 5-wave structure up from the March 2020 low into that long-term target range.  At this juncture, it appears that a 5-wave non-overlapping impulse is well underway from that March 2020 low.  Hurst cycle analysis is current projecting that a major top will occur in the Dow in approximately late-May 2022.  The Hurst projected top on the highly correlated S&P-500 is a little later, in late-Sept 2022.
