Markets have been jumping higher in recent days and are close to new highs again. This is rather unexpected given the current lunar red period and goes against the projected weakness per our LT wave. What to make of this? Here is the current S&P 500 chart:
The crucial support at 2400 has held easily and my indicators are pointing up. This paves the way for a possible test of the 2500 level in the coming weeks. But this could also be a fake-out move before a bigger downturn. If a lower high gets printed here then it will not look good and the 2400 level may get tested again.
Our LT wave was partially successful in August. Here is the projected pattern for September:
Expected weakness in the first half of August came right on target and the low on August 10 gave us a significant down day. But weakness continued longer than expected. The projected high on August 23rd was only a weak rebound and strength also stretched longer than expected with the best days coming at the very end of the month. So it looks as if the cycle is getting delayed by a few days. I don’t know if that will continue to be the case.
For September some mild weakness is expected until around the 9th, followed by a stronger period with an LT wave peak value on the 21st. The final week of September shows renewed weakness with a bottom value on the 28th.
