Dow: Declining Trend and Collapse

Dow futures hit a low of 31,787 on March 10, 2023. This was 1.3% above a projected high in a target range of 31,071 (+/- 1%) (31,381 – 30,760) on March 10, 2023. It is possible that the Dow may move slightly lower, but daily engrbytrade™ calculations show the Dow turning and moving above its high on December 13, 2022 (34712 on the NYSE). A target of 35,157 (+/- 1 %) is expected. This target is based on Dow calculation results between January and March 2023 being similar to what was produced between October and November of 2021, as discussed on March 7, 2023. A declining trend, similar to 2022, is expected for the first half of 2023. Ultimately, a market collapse planned for September 26, 2023 will take the Dow below 14,000, as shown on February 25, 2023.

Between March and August of 2023 various corporations, banks, and/or brokerages, etc. will fail, just as Enron, WorldCom, Bear Stearns, and Lehman Brothers did  during 2001, 2002, and 2008 prior to markets collapsing between September and October.  Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank are just the beginning.

Dow/S&P500: 2021 vs 2023

Between October 19, 2021 and November 22, 2021 daily engrbytrade™ Dow calculation results were found to be similar to results produced between January 19, 2023 and March 6, 2023. This comparison indicates the Dow January 2023 to March 2023 structure is expected to be a prelude for a decline over the next several months. It would also align with the expectation of a decline discussed on February 25, 2023. Similarities were also found for the S&P500 between October 20, 2021 to November 19, 2021 and January 17, 2023 to February 28, 2023.

Dow: Dow Transport Review

The Dow Jones Transportation Average charts shown below provide some insight into significant trading activities prior to a decline. In the last quarter of 2021, when a large long tail candlestick appeared on November 2, 2021, it was observed that a significant number of very large block trades were crossing the tape around that period of time. This trading activity is also similar to what occurred as a steady stream of very large blocks appeared during late January 2023 and early February 2023 when a long tail candlestick appeared on February 2, 2023. In the past, smaller versions of long tail candlesticks appeared on May 19, 2008 and September 19, 2008 prior to a sharp decline in late 2008.

Based on the Dow Transport Average index timelines discussed above, S&P500 and NASDAQ descending triangles noted on February 9, 2023, very large block trades crossing the tape during periods when long tail candlesticks appear, plus “technical issues” for trades on over 200 stocks during the morning session on January 24, 2023, it appears that Market Makers are setting up a decline that could last well into 2023.
