- My charts consist of all the items that Paul Desmond warned about in his paper, “The Warning Signs Of Major Market Tops”, which you can find at the following link
WAVE COUNTS
- If you aren’t familiar with my unorthodox wave counting method, there is a simple explanation at the beginning of the glossary. The glossary also contains lots of other details (explanations) that don’t appear in the blog.
TWEETS
- A lot of visitors to my blog are looking for information on T-Theory ®. The below link will take you to the index of all of Terry’s comments during the period Dec 2003 to June 2011. There are a considerable amount of charts and audio material from Terry Laundry in this section.
- If you are looking for the ability to make your own predictions using T-THEORY ®, I would highly recommend Terry’s Encyclopedia on T-THEORY ®

#StockMarket #Investors I think we are in last step down since Dec 26 and most of the step is probably behind us. pic.twitter.com/ZLZhAd13Xc
Did you see #investors taking #profits that aren’t #taxable until 2015? I saw a lot of that today. Next up, is the #decline over???
#Yen – Chart 1 – recovery after 2 steps down. Chart 2 – beginning of a downtrend? Watch yen closely for trend changes pic.twitpic.twitter.com/mE4bxyp1mt
#NASDAQ chart looks to be in the final stages of its present decline. In 3rd step down and waterfall taking place pic.twitter.com/QGVvHc9fQl
#futures #charts, #SP500, #DJIndustrials & #NASDAQ have short term lower lows. First lower low since Dec 16 #reversalpic.twitpic.twitpic.twitter.com/y0u7ip0TTl
Jeff Saut is growing cautious looking for a 1st quarter #correction in the #StockMarket. That viewpoint seems legitimate to me too.
Remember small downtrend in the #yen I showed late yesterday. Present look at it. #StockMarket and yen in lockstep. pic.twitter.com/db8fzXijqG
Bookmark the link for the #yen seen below. Us this link to watch movement of the yen. It’s a great reference for our #StockMarket.
#Yen click link below investing.com/quotes/japanes… This #chart is the inverse of MY yen charts. It moves in the opposite direction of our market
#Yen chart in almost lockstep with our #StockMarket. Notice small decline late today. Need to watch for more decline. pic.twitter.com/LSiKobeONW
Likely be a continuation of uptrend for most of this week. Beginning the following week, there “might” be a small decline. More later.
Since there is not much to report on recently, I’ve been working on an automated method of trading. Something I have NEVER done before.
#Yen has small #trend change & a small decline expected in #StockMarket. Count looks like #yen has 2 small steps down pic.twitter.com/qMdaoDV1R8

Happy Holidays There is no change in the outlook since the bottom signaled on Dec 16th. The surprising result is the speed of the uptrend.

No one likes information overload because it confuses the reader. If I don’t post it’s because nothing has changed, or I kicked the bucket.
Page 8 on my charts at #StockCharts is new. It compares 17 sector #AdvanceDecline lines. Look at the other pages toostockcharts.com/public/1169350
Market rose today & has been rising for 5 days, yet puts dominate. Turning bearish during a strong move upward seems bold & maybe stupid
CBOE PUT/CALL WAS 1.31 (131 PUTS BOT FOR EVERY 100 CALLS) ISE CALL/PUT WAS .70 (70 CALLS BOT FORE EVERY 100 PUTS) ??? pic.twitpic.twitter.com/JqaspSmwVw
Not much to comment on since the recent bottom. No resistance at the old peak of Dec 5. This time of year is hard to beat until after Jan 1
When I say this is the end of a “3” wave count, that’s me saying that a reversal has, or will take place. That wasn’t made clear on Dec 16
After a 4% rally in 2 days, I would have thought the call/put ratio would be higher. 148 calls for every 100 puts. pic.twitter.com/ock5gmxBLk

I would expect resistance to appear at the old #StockMarket peak (Dec 5). The wave count will determine how long the resistance will last

I nailed the #StockMarket #bottom 2 days ago. Compare today’s #chartwith the chart from 2 days ago (see Dec 16th) pic.twitter.com/k3neCmVGiY
Early yesterday I said, “it must break the downtrend since Dec 5” Duhhhhh, I think we broke the downtrend with Dow up 600 points in 2 days
The decline stopped today at the 38% retracement level measuring from the Oct. bottom. pic.twitter.com/ELmcERmudC
No trend break after step 3. We are in a 5 step up? But when you lose track of the count on the upside, that’s great. pic.twitter.com/6ZYx5Gdd4v
The decline after step 3 should break the trend that began from the bottom near “1”. Then should begin purple 2 up. pic.twitter.com/QunFyvqrSE
Current rally looks like other rallies that occurred on the way down since Dec 5 That’s gotta change for good bottom pic.twitter.com/RODIdlbpyz
If the rally breaks the downtrend, will it go on to new highs??? More on that later. pic.twitter.com/lzTKOaS6QY
For this rally to be the end of a completed step down, it must break the downtrend since Dec 5. Hasn’t done that yet. pic.twitpic.twitpic.twitter.com/7VPkmbBRTo
First objective is to see the #StockMarket rally above yesterday’s highs. The rally is very slow & taking its time to make a higher high
Yesterday, I tweeted “We should have completed the present step down in the #StockMarket“. Market #DoubleBottom after that & rallied again.
#JunkBond are NOT making new lows today. That’s an encouraging theme. pic.twitter.com/yO5GxxUukv
Presently, most of the indexes are trying to make new lows. We’ll see if they thrust downward or wander around near this morning’s low.
This is the completion of 3 steps down. If the rally doesn’t materialize, it would mean we will get 5 steps down. pic.twitter.com/GJTlNowXkU

#Oil prices plunging, #investors are worried #oil #debt issuers can’t meet obligations, predicts #default rate will double to 8% next year.
Some #hedge fund’s are making money on #oil‘s plunge. Any large unanticipated move can cause #bankruptcy. That can affect the entire #market
The #ruble tumbled to a record low for 2nd day, #Russia’s #CentralBankintervened to slow the rout for an economy verging on recession.
The #FED gets very uneasy when #inflation drops below 1%. We could be seeing below 1% figures in the months ahead.
FED should become more dovish after oil prices plunged in recent weeks. U.S. is NOT moving in the direction of its 2% inflation target.
US oil drillers idled the most rigs in two years as they face oil trading below $60 a barrel & escalating competition from suppliers abroad.

While the U.S. economy is in much stronger shape than foreign economies, it isn’t immune from foreign stock trends.
IEA cut its forecast for global oil demand for 5th time in 6 months. It attributed lack of demand to weakening global economic conditions.
Other central banks are beginning to throw money at their economies. See a trend yet??? As long as prices don’t decline, there’s no problem.
The deflation cure is to throw lotsa money at the problem. One hiccup, the US and Japan have been throwing lotsa money for some time.
Central banks like a “little” inflation, but when faced with a hint of deflation, they get frightened. The solution to deflation is to . . .
It’s the out of control decline in oil that has me unsettled. I don’t like looking a gift horse in the mouth, but there could be problems.
Lower oil prices is like a tax cut to the consumer and they should spend more money and create a good Christmas season for business.
BUT when prices are cut to gain market share, because they can afford it due to higher profits, others will follow to retain market share
I’m a technician and this is a fundamental problem (??) Oil has an impact on most products. Lower oil prices translates into higher profits.

Crude could fall to as low as $40 a barrel amid a price war or if divisions emerge in OPEC, said an official at Iran’s oil ministry.
Energy accounts for as much as half the cost to produce food & metals, commodities will keep dropping, say Societe Generale SA and Citigroup

See the relationship of 30 year bond rates to the US #dollar on the chart PAGE 4 CHART 6 at #MyCharts stockcharts.com/public/1169350
A strong dollar creates low inflation, but does that carry over to 30 YEAR RATES, which were declining long before the dollar was strong???
After WWII we had low long term interest rates. This created economic growth & stocks that went up for decades. Future deflation or growth??
The long term cost of money indicates that historically something unusual is going to take place. What is it & when does it take place???
Would you loan money to the Treasury for 30 years @ 3% – NO. But if you thought deflation was going to take place, you would loan the money.
THE PRIOR TWEET SHOWS THERE ARE NO INFLATION EXPECTATIONS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
The 2.32% yield on 10-year Treasuries compares with 0.80% on 10-year German Bunds & 0.50% on 10-year Japanese government bonds.

In the small cap wave count below, we would expect the rally after step 2 to be higher in time and price than what occurred in step 1.
At the moment the symmetry looks good in the small cap wave count, but that can be destroyed easily. Presently, it’s just a “what if” idea.
Smaller indexes show more than 1 step down. Large caps show 1 step. Meaningful? We’ll find out soon enough. Charts follow in next tweet

True #deflation is a huge problem to overcome. Japan represents a modern problem in deflation, while the US in the 1930s was the standard
True deflation turns into the opposite of inflation. Consumers wait to buy because they know they can buy for less in the future
Deflation from a lower demand, like the EU – can be big trouble. Deflation from a boost in supply, like the U.S. gas boom is beneficial.

Investors in $3 trillion of assets have been warning of the potential for “stranded assets” — oil projects that turn unprofitable.
Roughly 3 million more barrels a day are being produced now in the USA than in 2011.
Most shale regions are profitable below $80, including the Bakken & Eagle Ford formations. Eagle Ford would still be profitable at $50 oil.
Bond holders who have loaned money to oil prospectors are getting worried they won’t get paid back.
Crude prices near $80 a barrel, about 25 percent of the synthetic crude produced from the sands is no longer profitable,

Oil dropped to $79.78 a barrel on 10/16, the lowest since 6/12. At that level, one-third of U.S. shale oil production would be uneconomic !!

I wonder when they will panic and announce the next round of QE. – from Mike Burke
It was an explicit admission that, among QE objectives, were manipulation of the equity and forex markets. – from Mike Burke
The Fed governor replied that QE had been successful because the dollar was down & the stock market up. This statement was revealing because
Everyone on TV saying they are “buying this dip” but no one asks if they raised cash in advance. Can’t buy a dip unless you sold some.
Watch Mon & Tue for panic & reversal signs. The larger decline will spend much more time on downside, but market zig zags B4 the big bottom
Is a panic waterfall decline ahead for the market? Could a panic be like a 800 point day? Panics usually occur nearer the end than beginning

The decline in SP 500 futures since Oct 6th to today. Can you see the wave count mentioned in the prior tweet? pic.twitter.com/RQzkDfyyO0
This small part of the overall decline began on Oct 6. A nice channel break after 3 steps down (one of the steps sub divided into another 3)
We’ll see if Mr Market wants to do damage quickly or slow & deliberate. Both usually have a waterfall ending, which can be fun for shorts
Microcap & small caps made new lows today, but large caps fell short of new lows. If Lg caps make significant new lows expect lotsa damage
Looks like 4 steps down completed and we’re probably declining presently into 5th step down for today’s decline. pic.twitter.com/Rjl7tFhMZ1
A “possible” cyclic low is forecast for the first quarter of 2015. I’ll run Hurst Cycle software to see what major bottoms it’s predicting
BUT, market “could” muddle around a series of insignificant lower lows. I wouldn’t expect that to be take place. (More)
If market takes out recent lows, it means another leg down is underway & it would be step 2 of 3 steps. If true, more damage is “possible”.
SOME indexes made moderate channel breaks of the recent decline, but MOST didn’t have a channel trend break. (Continued)
Looks like 3 small steps down this morning. Should have a rally from here. That’s not assured until channel break. pic.twitter.com/pKokTviRwe

@wekim77 Yes on end step 1, but smaller cap indexes show 3 stabs downward for a WEIRD finish?? OR there’s more to go for a complex finish
@Stock_Trend_Chg An uncompleted head and shoulders turns into a consolidation pattern, instead of a negative breakdown in prices.

If the larger steps down are valid, we could have another decline before we attempt new highs. That decline would not begin for awhile.
Some of the indexes look like we have only completed 2 larger steps down. Larger step 1 down began in March 2014
Beginning on Sept 19th, the decline appears to be over. A subdivision into steps 4 & 5 could mess up this forecast. No sign of 4 & 5 yet.

Jeff Saut sounds more bearish than tentative today. He doesn’t like the continuing failure of another Dow Theory Buy signal.
Putin knows we can’t outspend Russia into self-destructing this time (oil). Putin could possibly do that to us & that might be his end game
“U.S. official says 1,000 Russian troops enter Ukraine” Return to the Semi-Cold War days can’t be good for the deficit.
Dow Industrials and Transports have not made new closing highs. They are close to their July peaks. Many other indexes have made new highs
There are a LOT of people looking for a decline to occur soon. Those people (me too) are almost never right when they become the majority
Presently both the Dow Industrials and Transports are shy of their prior closing highs. In Dow Theory, only the closing numbers are counted
Interesting cycle timing chart. Simple but effective enough. pic.twitter.com/di0R3zJ3t0
If we don’t break through prior highs with a significant rally, Jeff Saut could become bearish. Right now, he is very tentative.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see a replay of the last significant rally. Another Dow Theory buy signal followed by a decline. (continued)
The 5-year to 30-year US yield curve is the flattest since the 2008 crisis, so the bond market is worried about something. says Jeff Saut
We should know if the alternate wave count was correct very soon, because a small decline has begun.

The NASDAQ is at new highs and that usually portends well for the market. Need to check the Russell Micro, Small & Mid cap for confirmation

NASDAQ is tearing up to the upside with much greater relative strength over the large caps. I wouldn’t bet against small caps presently.
Only a SMALL penetration of the prior low. I’m dismissing the new low cuz of tiny penetration. Only large caps were weak with new lows
This “could” be the steepest decline of the prior two steps. Step 3 can generate waterfall declines and we’re in step 3 down.
Rally finished, DJIA made new low today. SPX & NASDAQ will follow. This should be 3rd step of this decline & end of larger step 1 down.
I finished the last tweet and 1 minute later, market broke out to upside.
I wouldn’t be surprised by breakout to the upside soon. If doesn’t happen, not good sign – or I have the count wrong, always a possibility
Market is significantly oversold, see page 2 chart #1 and #2 (longer and shorter term oscillators) stockcharts.com/public/1169350…
NASDAQ is moving ahead of the larger cap indexes presently. That’s a good sign for the rally. It’s a warning if that changes

I’m not saying it’s 1987 all over again, only that similarities would exist if Friday we lost more than today. It’s just IF IF IF
As expected, we did get the minor Dow Theory Sell Signal today.
Only IF Friday lost more than 300 points tomorrow, it would remind me of 1987. In 1987, the days got worse until Monday lost 22.6%.
NASDAQ made its low of the day about 30 minutes before the close. The large cap low came just before the close.
And it looks like it’s trying to close on the low of the day. We’ll see how that turns out in another 40 minutes.
We’re probably gonna test the bottom now. Another step down coming or a successful bottom test???

@bobswavecounts This indicator didn’t CLOSE at an extreme level and that nullified the earlier call for a rally.
Simple 13 day cycle. Next low should be around 8/7 (plus or minus a day or two). A T high is slated around 8/11 pic.twitter.com/nQv7wxS39i
Better rally presently in the NASDAQ than the large cap indexes. That means the rally temporarily might have legs.
An oscillator I follow gave a BUY signal on May 8th and REMAINED a buy until today. This is based on a close in this area of decline.
Did anyone ever tell you that bottom fishing is very dangerous??? Been there, done that.
Small & mid-cap indexes are very weak today. When they show relative strength, we will probably have a genuine rally. No sign of that yet
This decline is sub-stepping and my rule is to beware sub-stepping markets (up or down), because they go for awhile before stopping.

The small and mid-caps are stronger than the large cap today. An indicator is showing extreme condition today & market has rallied day after
FED announcement is 2:00 PM EDT. More fireworks. The FED can only disappoint the market with its QE schedule. QE is what propels the bull.
What ails the market? GDP was great at 4%, better than anticipated by 1%. Market convinced FED will remove QE as expected, or earlier.
I put a new chart up today. It’s Mark Cook’s Cumulative Tick Indicator and it’s on Page 1 Chart 4. An earlier tweet referred to Mark Cook
A substantially lower GDP would prompt the FED to keep QE going longer than the recent announcements. GDP is 8:30, FED is 11:00, FIREWORKS!
Not saying it’s going to happen, but what if the 2nd quarter GDP comes in well below expectations of 3%??? GDP comes out at 8:30 AM EDT Wed
This is an interesting article. Doesn’t mean it will happen immediately, but it could. Who knows for sure?? marketwatch.com/story/stock-tr…
