What shall I say?  The overlapping cycles seen in Figure 1 are still overlapping and exerting downward pressure on the markets.  In Figure 1 I have left space to the right of the chart so you can see how far away the matching troughs are.  Eyeballing the chart (and using a few measuring tools) seems to put the critical date at about 2

months out from here, or at about April 23rd.  On the weekly Dow chart the 50-day moving average is below the 200-day moving average, another combination that the market mavens watch.  And that speaks to selling pressure.  The low of the chart on the 21st was at 7854, below the critical 8000 mark.  Now that we have ventured into that level of dangerous territory, there will be more.  In fact, it looks to me that the market will see 7650 next.  Note that 7650 is the lower Attractor on the table at the top of the page.

Also looking at the chart in Figure 1, you will see a magenta line that I drew on the trend of the lows in RSI.  RSI has not risen above that line in the ensuing 2 months, showing yet another sign of weakness.

On the daily QQQ charts price has jumped above its midline in the Sunny_Bands, where it has stayed for the past 3 days.  The only problem is that it is being held down by it Attractor at the 25.20 level.  That's a tight squeeze and the market will have to break out of it pretty soon, one

way or another.  My guess is that the negative influences are just too strong at the moment for an upside breakout with much momentum, so I think we will break down at the 24.40 level and run on down to the 23.35 level.  That action could easily take two months to build and put us at the end of the cycles, from where we will begin a strong turnaround moving sharply up and at that time I will
be buying with both hands.  But, keep in mind that this is not happening tomorrow. It's a longer term projection.

As for the very short timers, there is a short-term buy signal on my SPY model, with a pennant breakout which has been penetrated giving confirmation.  Now the protective stop is at 84.78 with a profit-taking stop set above the pennant at 85.39.  RSI is high enough on the short-term chart for price to start turning down making for a reversal.  So, that's what I think we will be seeing tomorrow: first upwaves to complete the move, followed grinding moves to the downside, not not stopping until we have made a recent, new low.

Gold has been doing a little retracing, which taking it down to the 340 range.  That won't last for long, before it starts rising again. As always, stay nimble and quick.  And never be afraid to take profits even if it seems early.  They add up.  God Bless.
