The Dow Jones Industrial Average is Up Over 1000 Points Since Monday. Did Anyone Predict This Ahead of Time?

As far as I can tell, there were precious few market prognosticators calling for an imminent rally in the stock market just prior to this week’s surge. On the contrary, virtually all article writers and market technicians were projecting the market to move lower. As it turned out, the DJIA was up over 500 points on Tuesday, and is currently up over 1000 points for the week, and it’s only Thursday (June 6). Here’s highlights of my coverage of the DJIA and the VIX from my Sunday, June 2 Weekly “Counts” Webinar:

Trading Bitcoin with Precision Timing! (My calls on Bitcoin since late 2017)

In late 2017, the relentless parabolic move to upside in Bitcoin had caught the attention of the entire trading world. Since that time though, market participants have made OR lost a fortune during the one-year-long 84% crash of Bitcoin, depending on whether they were on the right side of the trade or not. The video below shows my analysis and projections for price movement in Bitcoin since late 2017.

My Current Analysis of the S&P-500 by Sid Norris from ElliottWavePlus.com

From an Elliott Wave perspective, my top two wave counts are shown. The main count is that an incomplete expanding leading diagonal to the downside is underway starting at the September 21 all-time high. The alternate (shown with question marks) is that an intermediate degree (black) wave 5 to the upside commenced at the December 24 low.

The Current State of the US Stock Market, the US Dollar, and Gold. A free blog post by Sid Norris of ElliottWavePlus.com

The S&P-500: The January rise in the US stock market went parabolic before topping on January 26. The 11.84% drop over the next 2 weeks (thru February 9) carved out a clear 5-wave impulse to the downside. The recovery so far appears to be choppy, overlapping, and corrective. From an Elliott Wave perspective, the aggressive move down thru Feb 9 is therefore very likely to be a wave 1 of a new downtrend, or a wave A within a 4th wave zigzag. Therefore, another 5-wave wave structure to the downside, taking out the Feb 9 low of 2532.69 would be a high probability expectation. Also possible within Elliott Wave theory is that the drop from Jan 26 thru Feb 9 was wave A within a wave 4 triangle. Only 4 of the 5 legs of a triangle are required to be a zigzag or zigzag combination. One of the legs can be something else, including a 5-wave impulse.
