Dow: Big Block Trades

Market Makers continue to accelerate the timeline with big block trades (>1 million shares) continuously crossing the tape this week as the Dow moves higher. Based on Market Maker actions, structural model calculations currently indicate the Dow is expected to peak and turn down as early as today (March 11, 2022).  As noted previously, a significant decline is expected to start and last until the end of 2022.

Dow: Volatile Time Frame

Commodity prices for products such as petroleum, grains, lumber, etc. are affecting stock markets just as they did during the first quarter of 2008. The Dow is moving into a volatile time frame that is similar to what occurred between February 1, 2008 and March 10, 2008. Engrbytrade™ Dow calculations now show a move up to 34,600 between April 15, 2022 and April 25, 2022. After moving through this time frame, a significant decline is expected for the remainder of the year.

Crude Oil: Watch Aramco

Aramco has a history of implementing very large transactions prior to major market moves. In March 2008 Aramco sold their stake in Ashmore. Two months later the stock market peaked and started to fall for the remainder of 2008. On December 11, 2019, Aramco shares started trading with its initial public offering. Two months later the stock market peaked and collapsed in February and March of 2020. On February 13, 2022 Saudi Arabia transferred Aramco shares worth $80 billion to the state’s sovereign wealth fund. Following this trend would mean that a stock market peak in mid-April 2022 would be expected prior to a significant decline in 2022.

Dow: Stock Buybacks

Goldman Sach’s buyback comment appears to contradict what traders would expected with the current situation in Europe. Apparently Goldman is aware that the proposed SWIFT suspension is meaningless. This means engrbytrade™ Dow calculations are correct to show a move up to 35,606 as corporations continue to buy back their stock.

Two examples of corporations announcing stock buybacks.
