EDIT: This post has sparked a good deal of heated reaction by email. I should explain that this post is not presented in the spirit of being a market call or an absolute forecast. My analysis process is to consider all the possibilities, and to stir up some debate. I do […]

I have spent a good deal of this week wondering whether we were bouncing out of a 40-week or 18-month cycle trough, and John’s post about the outstanding 9-year FLD projection and the discussion surrounding that prompted me to sit down and seriously consider the alternatives. First here is the […]
In my July post I mentioned there is an outstanding 9 year FLD target for the $SPX. It stands at 2150. It seems hard to embrace this possibility but it may well be that the $SPX will be the last man standing when these markets finally set their tops. The […]
Hurst’s Cycle Tools (the VTL and FLD) are very useful as analysis tools, helping us know when a trough or peak has formed in the market. And they are useful for trading, by providing entry and exit levels. But they are also clearly levels that have some significance to the market. […]

I know I bang on a lot about the interaction between price and the FLD, so I will keep this short and sweet. Last week I wrote about the F-category interaction that happened in the S&P 500 between Monday 22 September and Tuesday 23 September 2014. Following an F-category interaction we […]
