It looks like the market may try to rally already this week. If that happens, it’s quite probable that the rally will be short-lived (at least until the current black cloud persists…). So, if the rally is a Bear Market Rally, these models below may help to determine “how far” these rallies can go. These are WEEKLY models, so as a minimum the time horizon is 1 week (or multiples of that), but things are happening VERY fast at the moment, so I would not be surprised to see a 1-week rally and it may even end on Wednesday.
All this said, here are the targets to monitor, to go SHORT again and profit from the next leg down:
Here’s a fun and in-depth half hour interview I did on Thursday literally while the crash was happening.
As much as I’ve griped about AI, my griping has way more to do with the super-expensive (well, until recently) valuations than the technology itself. I use Grok (where my beloved son was one of their earliest employees) pretty regularly, and I wanted to share a very simple example of how I use it.
There’s a newsletter from Substack called The Bear Cave which, you will not be surprised to know, I find interesting. There’s a problem, though. It’s a total wall of text. Page after page after page of commentary and musings. I don’t want to read all that stuff. I just want to look at charts, of which they published none.
They said it couldn’t be done, but my IWM target was met (circle) and a bit more!
