Stocks Signal 1 – 2 Week Highs; S+P Reinforces Outlook for (Ultimate) Surge Above 4300/ES.

01/21/23 Weekly Re-Lay – Stock Indexes are mixed after bottoming in sync with weekly & monthly cycles in early-Jan ’23 and then rallying into mid-month.  A 1 – 2 week pullback was expected to follow (though some indexes could spike above their mid-Jan highs first)..

Stock Indices continue to provide contrasting signals, reinforcing the congestion that has been in place for the past few months.  The DJIA Indices (DJIA & DJTA), which led the Sept – Nov ‘22 and early-Jan ’23 rallies, topped in sync with this past week’s PPI Report – another example of hitting an extreme when corroborating news emerges.

In the case of these key indexes (and others), they fulfilled weekly trend patterns, attacked & held their mid-Nov ’22 highs, AND created a spike high on Jan 17 – 20 – fulfilling a ~7-week low-high-(high) Cycle Progression (that projects a future high in early-March ’23).  That was corroborated by daily LHRs that were hit on Jan 11, projecting 1 – 2 week peaks by/on Jan 17 (within 3 trading days of that signal).

Stock indexes are fulfilling bullish 4-Shadow Signals (triggered in 4Q ’22) that projected new surges in 1Q ’23.  Indexes like the Russell 2000 & S+P Midcap 400 are nearing their upside price targets (accomplishing what the DJIA did in 4Q ’22) while the NQ-100 and S+P 500 are projecting higher levels in the coming month(s) (to at least ~13,800/NQ & ~4300/ES) before their advances would have a better chance of peaking.

Those upside targets – and how/when they are reached – should reveal a great deal about what to expect leading into key cycles in late-July/early-Aug ’23.
