Stocks Going Higher into Friday - 8/18/09
Two new short term cycles have been found that top this weekend. There is a very high probability that stocks will make a high on Friday or maybe Monday. Next week looks bearish with the possibility of a very large downmove.
Gold Update - 8/18/09
Gold
Gold has probably completed the E wave low of a large triangle as of yesterday. The target for the upmove out of the triangle is 105.5 on the GLD. That is the length of the widest part of the triangle(wave A) added to the wave E low. See chart below for primary and alternate wave count labeling. This expected upmove is most likely impulse wave 1 of a new primary wave. The wave structure of the entire correction from the Q1 2008 high is potentially very bullish. The gold stock ETF GDX would be a more leveraged way to play the current upmove although the wave count is not as clear.

Update - 8/17/09
S & P 500
It looks like the mid august high is in. This was forecasted in the July 23rd and August 5th posts along with a most likely price target in the 1060-1120 range on the S&P500. The price target was not reached but the Dow Jones Industrials did reach the .382 fib retracement of the 2007-2009 downmove.
The next major time cycle is in mid September. That may be when this downmove bottoms. It could also be a high if instead the market starts moving back up. This current downmove could bottom as soon as Tuesday if that is the case.
The best wave count at this point will label the upmove from early July to the August high as wave (c) of the entire move up from the March low. This count is shown below. It's also possible that the July-August upmove is wave (1) of primary wave 3, but cycles do not indicate that as they are becoming more bearish especially in September.
The S & P 500 did not reach the price target so this indicates that we probably have not seen the final high. However that may not happen until the 4th quarter or 1st half of 2010. In the meantime we may have a wide range sideways type market.
Gold
Gold has reached the price target for wave E. If instead this is wave C of (y), it could move down toward the July low.
