    Welcome to the new discussion section.

  2. Evan Says:

    Have a great trading day everyone!

  3. Jason Says:

    We gapped up this morning, where is our bounce?

  4. bravaru Says:

    i’ve noticed that short time frames can be misleading often times…

    do you think you could post a “weekly” type of report?

    or something with a longer time frame?

    If I’m not mistaking you’re expecting the market to drop a bit more in the next few weeks, ha?

    thanks a bunch for all the valuable advice..

  5. Jason Says:

    I agree. I like how in certain posts you mention the daily forecast as well as the short term, intermediate term and long term predictions.

  6. Paty Says:

    Mega, I think your short term recommendations leaving too much room for interpretation, in my view (and I have to confess , Im not very experienced in EW theory;)Could you add, as a summary , what you think the most likely scenario for the daily action, resulting from your analysis? Would be even more helpful!
    A good example is , what you have posted today for the NASDAQ section.
    Thx, Paty

  7. megacycles Says:

    Guys I mention intermediate and long-term analysis every day for subscribers. I could make it available for you once a week.
    Paty, I am specific when the days action is clear. When we could get more upside before going lower, I say so too. Labeling the price action of the day with elliott wave is just about as specific as you can get. There is absolutely no-one that knows at all times exactly what the market action will look like in one day.
    I do hope that it is very clear where I stand on the intermediate and long-term. Bearish, bearish.

  8. Bogdan Says:

    http://www.megacyclesanalysis.com/page/22/ – at some point on the page you say “We are here” and warn of a large drop…

    What’s your position now?

  9. megacycles Says:

    Bogdan, your link doesn’t work. I assume this is the chart you meant.

    My outlook for the grand super-cycle (last three hundred years) has absolutely not changed because of the action of a couple of weeks. We are still there.
    As a matter of fact, this rally, is likely a re-test of the super-cycle trendline as resistance. (It is currenly a little higher than the price on the S&P).

  10. Bogdan Says:

    I think that’s the link but it doesn’t work for either of us :)

    I thought so… I’m expecting the bust to happen within 45 days but again, it may take longer :)

    We’re going to have some interesting 12 months ahead..

  11. Evan Says:

    Have an awesome trading day everyone!

  12. Don-Da-Mon Says:

    Not able to see the comments section, even after logon.

  13. megacycles Says:

    Don, can you email me your username? I’ll fix it for you.

  14. megacycles Says:

    Nevermind, you’re all set.

  15. Don-Da-Mon Says:

    Mega, is there an e-mail address in order to contact you? I am unable to find this contact information on the site. I had registered as a free membership. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

  17. Madness 22 Says:

    We could see GLD at 130 if people keep buying as a safe haven.

  18. Whisk Says:

    Good thing I own some coins.

  19. Inflation Says:

    I still say we go to 1200 before any substantial correction.

  20. Madness 22 Says:

    We could be developing a head and shoulders on the two day chart. Especially if we move to 1040.

  21. Madness22 Says:

    No impulses down yet.

  22. Madness22 Says:

    We either had an impulse now, or a wave A.

  23. Mono Says:

    Mega, I’m able to post a comment on November 3rd, but not November 4th. Can you check into that?

  24. Whisk Says:

    1/4 short.

  25. Whisk Says:

    Covered my short. +.5%

  26. Madness22 Says:

    Good job, Whisk.

  27. Whisk Says:

    Thanks. 1/2 short again.

  28. Whisk Says:

    Sold my TZA +3%.

  29. Inflation Says:

    Good work, Whisk!

  30. Will Says:

    I sold my SSO just in time.

  33. Eve Says:

    Unemployment at 10.2%

  34. Scott Adapts Says:

    Unemployment at 10.2% let’s rally till it’s 21%

  35. Whisk Says:

    The market has decoupled from reality. I better buy some real assets before we get hyperinflation or hyperdeflation. I don’t know of any other outcomes to mass ignorance.

  36. Whisk Says:

    And I don’t mean an apartment in some sprawled overpopulated city.

  37. Madness22 Says:

    Went short. I hope I’m not alone in this.

  38. Will Says:

    USD is tanking.

  39. Eve Says:

    I am all in favor of cutting taxes but the problem is government spending.

    Not a single country is the Eurozone is close to the 3% budget deficit pledge required to adopt the Euro. Does anyone think the Eurozone countries will adopt balanced budgets by 2020? I don’t but we can hope.

    Right now, Europe, including Germany looks like a basket case except compared to the US and Japan.

  40. Madness22 Says:

    Got out yesterday at 1085. So far on a winning streak.

  41. Whisk Says:

    I’m glad I own some physical gold.

  42. Eve Says:

    Watch to see if GLD breaks 112. Then the dominant trend is up, and after a pull-back your bullion will be worth a lot more.

  43. Madness22 Says:

    1/3 short.

  44. Madness22 Says:

    Out of my short position with a profit.

  45. Inflation Says:

    Closing on the highs for the day.

  46. Inflation Says:

    Good work Madness. I can’t believe there this many madness’s on gmail.

  47. Will Says:

    if we go a little lower selling some puts could look profitable.

  48. Will Says:

    Looks like we have a bear flag in amzn.

  49. Ian Says:

    Potentially developing an HS.

  50. Evan Says:

    OpEx everyone.

  51. Inflation Says:

    I still think we will see more inflation. At least here (I’m planning on being around)

  52. Ian Says:

    1084 was the low for futures.

  53. Whisk Says:

    1/4 long.

  54. Whisk Says:

    Sold for a small profit.

  55. Whisk Says:

    We could have a double bottom at 1088 with a mountain top at 1114.

  56. Whisk Says:

    We’re probably targeting 1135. (Stop the bears out above 1130). After that I expect a gap cover at 1000.

  57. Madness22 Says:

    You’re probably right, but we could still be in a wave 2 up. For now, I’d watch that mountain top.

  58. Madness22 Says:

    By the way it looks like we have five waves down with a fifth wave ending diagonal.

  59. Madness22 Says:

    We should at least get one more move lower. Lets watch and see if the 5dma holds as support and if we get a strong and powerful third wave lower. if not, it will be a buying opportunity.

  60. Whisk Says:

    Madness has converted to the bull camp. We must be forming a top.

  61. Madness22 Says:

    I just think we could inflate some more before peak oil gives us a reality check.
    FYI I try to remain unbiased :)

  62. Inflation Says:

    ” just think we could inflate some more”
    Yes.

  63. Madness22 Says:

    I didn’t mean that as a good thing.

  64. Inflation Says:

    I did. :)

  65. Ian Says:

    We could be developing a large scale inverse HS with a neckline at 1112-1113

    UK Lloyds bank is begging it’s shareholders to buy shares. Financial way down http://finviz.com/groups.ashx

  69. Eve Says:

    Pretty corrective upside so far. We should at least see another wave lower.

  70. Madness22 Says:

    It’s not a gap and crap yet, but we are looking overbought.

  71. Madness22 Says:

    It’s always dangerous to close under resistance.

  72. Whisk Says:

    Corrective both ways really.

  73. Scott Adapts Says:

    Watch the numbers and weep or tweet?

  74. Ian Says:

    Great news. now will traders expect rate hikes?

  75. Scott Says:

    Good news I can now concentrate on business.

  76. Scott Says:

    Just wait till interest rates and taxes go up so government and banks can get more money to give to the banks which just got even bigger to fail, once this retest 666.

    Imagine there’s no heaven and unemployment grows and interest rate dance along side.

  77. Chris Says:

    Mega, can’t log in this morning. If my run is done thats fine just let me know.

  80. Will Says:

    More ABCDEs

  81. Will Says:

    I thought I had mine down already.

  82. Ian Says:

    We have a potential HS, but are at 1101 support.

  83. Ian Says:

    1/3 short.

  84. Evan Says:

    We have a potential double top in the last two days. not in play yet.

  85. Evan Says:

    We covered the gap

  86. Madness22 Says:

    And we’re back within the trading range.

  87. Madness22 Says:

    The goal must be to see how close together the bollinger bands can get.

  88. Eve Says:

    With failed crops, farmers across the Midwest are bankrupt, and so are their banks. This is especially important considering that the FDIC is out of money. Every bank failure is now being financed with the immediate sale of treasuries.

    Whether the US choose to bail out Midwest banks with billions of emergency aid for bankrupt farmers or finances the FDIC takeover of their banks, the outcome will be the same. The enormous quantity of debt which the US will need to sell to finance emergency aid and resolve bank failures in the Midwest will pressure an already collapsing market for US treasuries.

    Not an ending diagonal again.

    Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
