The S and P 500 fell and the Nifty rallied last week. Indicators are mixed for the coming week. The recent rally to the prior highs on the S and P 500 is on borrowed time as we experience one of the worst earnings decline periods in stock market history with extremely high valuations amid a lot of bearish divergences and a September / October crash is on the menu after a small dead cat bounce from the 50dma. We rallied 46% right after the great depressions (1930’s) first collapse and we have rallied over 50% in our most recent rally of the lows in a similar 6 month period. After extreme euphoria for the indices, a highly probable selloff to the 3000 area is emerging on the S and P, and 10000 should arrive on the Nifty in short order. The FED is repeating the Japan experiment and the lost 3 decades in Japan (1989-2019) is set to repeat across the globe. SPX 1500 and lower by year-end and we stay there till 2050, scary? The markets are very close to an epic meltdown and the SPX is headed way lower. The markets are overvalued, overbought and out of touch with economic realities. Long term, the epic meltdown is set to continue resulting in a 5 year plus bear market with lot lower levels may be as low as 800 on the S and P. QE forever from the FED is about to trigger the deflationary collapse of the century and we have made a major top in global equity markets. The market is looking like the short of a lifetime with non-conformations from the transports, other global indices, and commodities. High valuations continue. The breakdown in Crude and the Euro is a precursor to yet another massive drop in the S and P 500. The recent global virus epidemic (black swan) is likely to dent global GDP significantly and usher in a depression much faster than most think. The trend has changed from bullish to bearish and the markets are getting smashed by a strong dollar. Looking for significant underperformance in the Nifty going forward on rapidly deteriorating macros. A 5-year deflationary wave has started in key asset classes like the Euro, stocks, and commodities amidst a number of bearish divergences and overstretched valuations. We are entering a multi-year great depression. The markets are still trading well over 3 standard deviations above their long term averages from which corrections usually result. Tail risk has been very high of late as the yield curve inverts into a recession. The critical levels to watch for the week are 3350 (up) and 3330 (down) on the S & P 500 and 11550 (up) and 11400 (down) on the Nifty. A significant breach of the above levels could trigger the next big move in the above markets. You can check out last week’s report for a comparison. Love your thoughts and feedback.

Broadening Top Megaphone Pattern on the S and P 500

The broadening top megaphone on the S and P 500 is resolving to the downside. 2200 is the lower side of the channel, where we are likely headed long term. Intermediate support comes in at 2770:

The S and P 500 and the Nifty fell last week. Indicators are bearish for the coming week. The recent rally to the prior highs is on borrowed time as we experience one of the worst earnings decline period in stock market history with extremely high valuations amid a lot of bearish divergences and a September / October crash is on the menu. We rallied 46% right after the great depressions (1930’s) first collapse and we have rallied over 50% in our most recent rally of the lows in a similar 6 month period. After extreme euphoria for the indices a highly probable selloff to the 2700 area is emerging on the S and P, and 9000 should arrive on the Nifty in short order. The FED is repeating the Japan experiment and the lost 3 decades in Japan (1989-2019) is set to repeat across the globe. SPX 1500 and lower by year end and we stay there till 2050, scary? The markets are very close to an epic melt down and the SPX is headed way lower. The markets are overvalued, overbought and out of touch with economic realities. Long term, the epic meltdown is set to continue resulting in a 5 year plus bear market with lot lower levels maybe as low as 800 on the S and P.
