Stock Indexes Reinforcing Projections for Major New Advances!
05/05/25 – Stock indices remain positive – on a 2 – 4 week basis – reinforcing that a multi-month bottom took hold on April 7th… the convergence of monthly, weekly & daily cycles and the fulfillment of downside targets.
The April 7th lows were very significant as they saw many indexes attack 6 – 12 month support zones, 3 – 6 month downside targets, and fulfill 17-Year Cycle-related projections for 20 – 25% (possibly 35 – 50%) declines leading into early-April.
As illustrated in the May ’25 INSIIDE Track, a preponderance of benchmark stocks (including AAPL, AMD, AMZN, GOOGL, META, MU, NVDA, & TSLA) completed ~32 – ~56% declines at that time – powerfully fulfilling the 17-Year Cycle of Stock Market Peaks & Declines in which stock plunges of (often) 30 – 50+% are seen.
Major financial stocks concurred as GS, C, & MS plunged ~34 – 35% and previously ‘high-flying’ airline stocks like DAL, UAL, & AAL plummeted 50 – 55%. Then there were many former tech/chip/AI darlings watching their values evaporate with AMD losing ~67% from its ’24 peak while MU lost ~61%, INTC plummeted 65% and even NVDA lost over 43% in a ~3-month period.
Those cumulative losses are one (big) reason why stocks have been poised for a larger advance following those April 7th declines.
Many stock indexes also plummeted to 1 – 2 year support zones, range-trading targets, and/or downside objectives with the S+P Midcap 400 & Russell 2000 providing perfect examples (see previous publications and related charts dating back to the late-Nov ’24 highs).
That, too, set the stage for a much larger rally.
It might be the DJIA, however, that reached the most noteworthy synergy of major support zones and downside targets – signaling a bottom.
As described through most of the year, the majority of weekly & monthly cycles converged in late-March/early-April ’25 and were expected to culminate a 20 – 25% (minimum) decline in stock indexes. The greatest synergy daily, weekly & monthly cycles converged in a 3-day period – April 3 – 7th – portending a multi-month bottom.
By setting its low on April 7th, the DJIA precisely connected the March ’20 (Covid) low, the late-Sept ’22 low and the early-April ’25 low – each 132 weeks from the other… symmetry and synergy!
However, the price levels are the most revealing!
The DJIA reached its April ’24 low (4th wave of lesser degree support*** on a multi-month basis) AND retested its 2022 peak (36,952/DJIA) while spiking down to its rising monthly 21 Low MAC AND 40 High MAC. It accomplished all that without turning its monthly trend down.
All of those factors signal the DJIA (and other indexes) could make it back to their all-time highs in the coming months (or weeks).
[***That 4th wave of lesser degree was part of the 5-wave advance from March ’23 into Nov/Dec ’24 – a higher magnitude wave III advance. (The preceding wave I advance was from Sept ’22 into Dec ’22, followed by the wave II decline into March ’23.)
IF April ’25 timed the subsequent wave IV low – occurring right after reaching its primary downside wave target at the wave 4 of III low (4th wave of ‘lesser degree’ support) – it would now usher in a final wave V advance that could peak near or above the Nov/Dec ’24 high.
That could create a subsequent top in the coming months and potentially usher in a second 25 – 35+% decline in 2025/2026 – leading into a 17-Year Cycle from the 2009 low in 2026. More on that to follow.]” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK
Stock Indexes are powerfully reinforcing analysis for surges to new all-time highs after confirming multi-month bottoms in early-April ’25 – when the culmination of 20 – 30+% plunges was forecast. At the time, they fulfilled major 1 – 2-year downside price targets and related 17-Year Cycle analysis for 2025. Decisive objectives were fulfilled with the early-April ’25 lows – indicating a major bottom!
Their monthly trend patterns, monthly 21 MACs & MARCs, monthly (and weekly) cycles, monthly downside objectives & 6 – 12 month support levels all argue for powerful rallies that catapult key indexes up to new all-time highs in the coming months. The (perceived) multi-year wave structure is arguing for the same. The extent of declines in ‘Magnificent 7’ and related tech stocks corroborated the ongoing outlook that early-April ’25 would complete a major sell-off and usher in a decisive bottom.
Metals are corroborating as Silver (along with Platinum & Palladium) fulfilled ongoing forecasts for major lows in early-April, triggering revealing buy signals that were followed by powerful surges. Mid-May ’25 could/should trigger another wave of bullish signals. Meanwhile, Gold rallied into the days surrounding April 19th (Date of Aggression) – and was/is expected to set a 2 – 3 month peak at that time.
