S&P500: 94 Year Timeline

One hundred eighty eight years ago the S&P500 gained 32% between January 1835 and September 1835 before losing 72% of its value between October 1835 and July 1842. Ninety four years ago the S&P500 gained 29% between January 1929 and September 1929 before losing 86% of its value between September 1929 and June 1932. Both declines were followed by very long economic depressions.

Based on a 94 year timeline preliminary estimates indicate the S&P500 should gain 30% between January 2023 and September 2023 before starting a long decline and losing between 80% – 90% of its value.  Additional data will be needed during 2023 to validate this thesis.

Just like 1837-1842 and 1929-1932, the next crash will be caused by congressional spending, recent government regulations, economic policies, presidential executive orders, and the misallocation of capital where everyone involved believes they can control the future.

Dow/S&P500: Repeating Structures

Preliminary research shows Dow and S&P 500 algorithms have been in the process of repeating their basic 1-hour futures chart structures developed between May 30, 2022 and June 17, 2022. Real time data indicates underlying derivative algorithms are moving products in a choreographed effort to develop the May – June 2022 base chart structures. This means Market Makers are expected to follow through with a decline prior to moving the markets higher. Additional work will be needed to determine the level of decline anticipated.

VIX: Final Gap Up

The VIX has been following a pattern similar to what occurred between 2007 and 2008 as shown in the VIX 2023 Outlook. On November 23, 2022 the VIX filled its August 22, 2022 gap. This is similar to what occurred between January 27, 2022 and February 12, 2020 as shown in the 2020 chart below. The VIX is currently in the process of repeating the final gap up that is similar to what occurred on February 18, 2020. This would mean that the Dow / SP500 would be expected to start a significant decline this week.

Dow/S&P500: $3 Trillion Loss

On January 24, 2022, it was reported that global stock selloff losses were near $3 trillion. It should be noted that part of this stock (inventory) moved from institutional customers, such as pension funds and large trading firms, to the accounts of NYSE Designated Market Makers (DMM) and Supplemental Liquidity Providing Firms (SLP-Prop / SLMM). In the coming weeks part of the inventory accumulated by the DMM and SLP firms will be sold to corporations who are initiating corporate buyback programs. This buyback process will run until March 14, 2022. As corporate buyback programs progress, DMMs and SLP firms will raise prices of their inventory and institutions, large trading firms, retail investors, etc., will start buying. When DMMs and SLP inventories are depleted they have the option to sell short. During the next decline DMMs and SLP firms will cover their short positions while buying stock (inventory) from institutions and large trading firms at a lower price. This process of inventory control was explained in Richard Ney’s books published between 1970 and 1975. The following document provides some insight to the process as well. On page 10 it states that Market Makers must track their inventory to ensure they are not taking undue risk or encroaching on capital limits.
