Key Technical Indicators (Short to Intermediate Term) Print SharpCharts from StockCharts.com
- NYMO: On Thursday, May 23rd the NYMO closed at -47 vs a lower BB at -30. This is an NYMO based SP500 Buy Trigger. It requires an NYMO close back inside the lower BB to confirm. On Friday, May 24th the NYMO closed near -20 and back inside the lower BB confirming the NYMO based SP500 Buy Signal. But a word of caution here is that NYMO often only makes it back to the -20 to zero line during a failed bounce in the SP500. NYMO closes above +20 are needed to assure a new bull wave up is underway.
Key Technical Indicators (Intermediate to Long-Term):
- Golden Cross (2-2-23): 50-day SMA (3953) closed above the 200-day SMA (3951).

- SP500 Seasonality: The 4-year US Presidential Election Year Cycle shows a peak in late January to early February, then a shallow drop into mid-March, a choppy Q2 (Apr-June) and finally a big rally into year end.
- Historical Stat: The SP500 was up for the 3 months (Dec, Jan and Feb), closing February at 5095. Since the year 1930 the SP-500 has been positive the next year in 25 of 25 cases (100%) with an average again of 16% (5095 => 5910 Target).

Wave Count(s):
- The primary (white/green) count is that minor 1 of major [5]-P3-C3 of SCV completed 5342. The minor 2 correction is underway and should retrace to the 38%/50% Fibonacci targets of 5195 to 5146. The drop from 4342 to 4257 is (w) of minor 2. The (x) of minor 2 wave has reached 5312 and has a target retrace to 62%/78% Fib area at 5310 to 5323, before (c) of minor 2 drops below 5257. Note: The primary (white/green) count is valid below 5342.
- The alternate (blue) count is that minor 1 completed at 5325 and the minor 2 wave played out as an expanded flat wave, where (a) of minor was at 5283, (b) of minor 2 was at 5342 and (c) of minor 2 completed at 5257. The minor 3 wave up underway and minute (1) of minor 3 should reach 5417. Note: The alternate (blue) count is valid above 5257 and would be confirmed on a break above 5342.
House Keeping: Beginning tomorrow, Friday May 24th, I will begin the summer period from Memorial Day to Labor without Friday blog updates. Also, Monday May 27th is the Memorial Day Holiday and thus the US Markets will be closed. The next blog update will be on Tuesday, May 28th.
Enjoy the long Holiday Weekend!
