Dow/S&P500: Algorithms Filling Gaps

Between January 19, 2023 and January 27, 2023 daily engrbytrade™ Dow calculations indicate algorithms have been positioning the Dow to set up a brief move upward prior to starting a decline. The January 19 – 27, 2023 calculations are similar to results received between December 8, 2021 to December 17, 2021 and August 4, 2022 to August 9, 2022. Prior to conducting a decline in the Dow, algorithms are expected to move the Dow higher and fill a gap that was created in the 5-minute Dow futures chart on December 14, 2022. This would move the Dow above 34,617 in the futures market before a decline would start.

Algorithms are also expected to move the S&P500 above 4229 in the futures market to fill a gap created in the 5-minute futures chart between August 19, 2022 and August 21, 2022.

This move up is calculated to take 8.5 trading days (+/- 1.5 trading days). A move down is still expected in accordance the January 25, 2023 post.

Dow/S&P500: S&P500 December 14, 2022 Gap Filled

On December 14, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. the Federal Reserve raised the overnight borrowing rate one-half percent to a range between 4.25% and 4.5%. This announcement resulted in a gap of the 1-hour S&P500 and Dow futures charts. The S&P500 gap was filled at the close on January 26, 2023. It appears algorithms are working to fill the December 14, 2022 Dow futures chart gap above 34,482.

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.

S&P500: Gaps to Fill

In addition to a gap in the Dow 15-minute futures chart below 34,604 that was created on December 14, 2022, the S&P500 1-hour futures chart contains one gap below 4228 that was created on August 19, 2022 and one gap below 4071.25 created on December 14, 2022. It is expected that both of these gaps will be filled prior to markets moving lower.

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.
