S&P500: Positioning for Distributions

Daily Engrbytrade™ S&P500 calculations indicate that positioning for very large distributions took place between February 28, 2023 and April 5, 2023. This is similar to what took place between October 20, 2021 and November 19, 2021. This positioning also indicates preparations are being made for a significant decline in 2023.

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/S&P500: 1966 – 1973

Market Makers have successfully managed to develop Dow and S&P500 chart structures between 2018 and 2023 that are similar to chart structures between 1966 and 1973. The end result is also expected to be similar to 1974. Arrows in the charts below overlay Engrbytrade™ markers based on comparable calculations from 1966 to 1973 and indicate a steady decline is expected until the end of 2023. Preliminary estimates indicate the end result would be a drop below 14,000 for the Dow and below 2000 for the S&P500.

S&P500: Move To 4297

The S&P500 is still on track to move above 4228 and fill its August 19-21 futures gap. On a relative scale, calculations indicate algorithms developed the January 19, 2023 to February 7, 2023 1-hour futures chart structure (with adjustments as needed) based on characteristics from the July 14, 2022 to August 10, 2022 1-hour futures chart. Using these similarities, calculations indicate a move up to 4297 (+/- 1%) is expected before making a significant move to lower levels.

S&P500: Continue Moving Higher

The response from stock markets concerning an interest rate increase of 0.25% indicates algorithms are expected to continue moving the S&P500 higher to close a 5-minute futures chart gap created on August 21, 2022. A move up above 4229 in the futures market within 8.5 trading days (+/- 1.5 trading days), starting on January 30, 2023, is still expected.

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.

Dow/S&P500: Inverse Derivative Calcs

Daily engrbytrade™ inverse derivative calculations indicate the Dow and S&P500 are expected to decline. Calculations for the Dow are similar to results from January 4, 2022 and February 9, 2022. Calculations for the S&P500 are similar to results from April 1, 2022 and August 4, 2022. Engrbytrade structural calculations in the futures market indicate the S&P500 is expected to reach 2891 (+/-1%) and the Dow to ultimately reach 27,108 (+/- 1%).

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.
