It's just an analog...don't always follow the same plan...but the similarities are interesting...
TG, you get chart of the year award with that chart. Brilliant! thanks!
My comments were dictated to me by homie the clown
assuming we use the spx top at 1530 and the bottom ball park 1485 we have a nice 45 point range to flip to 1575. this of course is very close to the last major high on a monthly and is entering the interesting area for a major top sort of 1550 to 1650. ideally with the dow jones in-dust-reals and rut breaking out nicely.
the confluence of opinion on central banks--will result in sorrow as does all confluence of opinion in the markets. These outsized price bars on a daily also look interesting. the retirement money continues in march which is often a decent month.
if you like the qs then we measure ballpark 70.70 or so--just over the last top (if and when). on a monthly chart this would more or less be a third hit of an upper wedge line--making it a very key moment.
looking the monthly stuff every once in a while allows a different perspective
