Outlook for week of Aug 8, 2016

The past week saw some new highs.  But, the market was down during first half of the week and then up as two short cycles bottomed mid week (just as I  thought would happen), Basically the market was flat for the week (no impressive break out).  We did get bigger moves (up and down) as I suggested would happen.

Dow and SandP500 should make marginally new highs during the coming week as more cycles up than down with the dominant 4.5 month cycle still up. TSI has a negative bias.

  2. Jeff - i have oil at 161 cycle.I,m bullish now until around end of sept, Then we have a much larger cycle for the downturn into around midway through Dec.Please note these are just my trading ways and others could be different.

  3. Jeff - appears the dominant cycle is 5 1/2 months (bottomed this past week?) for WTI.

    John, I assume you are talking calendar days (5 x 30 = 150 + 1/2 30 = 165 or around 161 - so about 5 1/2 months). Since there can be some variance of up to a week in longer cycles I generally do not try to specify a span in days).

    1. Sold RWM position (played short cycle) and made around 1% after fees. Will reenter RWM in about a week, tracking it on an hourly chart. Yeah, I screw around day trading sometimes (not always profitably).
