Summary

  • Major indexes started the bounce we talked about on Sunday. The bounce could extend for several more trading days, perhaps with some consolidation, before a reversal to down into the March-April time frame for the expected N20W cycle trough;

  • The game is again “raise cash” on bounces higher, sell the rip (STR) as traders say, IMO.

  • Though we may have one more buy-the-dip (BTD) opportunity for short-term traders.

Check out a recent YouTube (YT) video about AAPL; it is still relevant, and AAPL is a market leader – As AAPL Goes, the Market Goes. Here is the AAPL:

Technical Analysis

  • Medium- and long-term state of technical indicators is still warning of a correction to come.

  • Major indexes respected daily and weekly technical indicators we have been warning about in December and indexes started 2024 with a correction, but they have a long way to go to reset;

  • As discussed in the last report, most hourly indicators were “oversold” and exhibiting nice positive divergences – Mr. Market responded with a strong bounce, see SPX 1H chart in Figure 1;

  • SPX may consolidate, or pull back, for a couple of days before trying another push higher

Sentiment

  • Intermediate-term sentiment indicators started to reset but have a long way to go before the “fear” becomes prevalent;

  • CNN’s Fear & Greed Index slightly cooled off but flirts with extreme greed;

  • With expected one more push higher in the next several days it could get into the extreme greed territory again;

Bitcoin Buzz and Analysis

  • Bitcoin ETF rate competition accelerates and fees are ranging from 0.2% for Bitwise to 1.5% for Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)

  • Will the SEC approve Bitcoin ETF on Wednesday? Will it be “Buy the Rumor, Sell the News?”

  • Bitcoin’s wave structure has become “murky” lately, but another pop higher is possible (it looks like a sideways consolidation recently) – all cycle targets, including the recently generated N20D target have been satisfied, but it is possible after a pullback to generate another short-term up target;

  • Could you determine the period of the straddled dominant Bitcoin cycle?

  • How about where and when the next cycle peak should occur?

  • Hints:

     

  • The figure above displays a 100-day dominant cycle and its 50-day 2nd harmonic in the bottom panel;

  • The 2 cycles add together to create the composite cycle wave above;

  • Note the summation of the 2 cycles creates a low in the composite wave directly at the peak of the dominant cycle, referred to as the “mid-cycle dip;”

  • The visual signature of this “mid-cycle dip” is one of the keys to identifying a dominant cycle by eye.
