I like to look at a Hurst analysis from many different angles, and while considering the progression of “bullishness” in the US stock markets this week I stumbled across a possibility that I would love to hear your opinion about. It has bearish implications, and so this post carries a BEAR […]

A few weeks ago I wrote about the 18-month VTL (Valid Trend Line) in the S&P 500. Yesterday price came down to the VTL and touched it. There are a few points worth mentioning here: If median price crosses below the VTL then we have cyclic evidence that the current 54-month […]
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 […]
The FLD (Future Line of Demarcation) is a cycle tool that Hurst defined – a simple line plotted on the chart after an analysis has been performed. The FLD can be used as an analysis tool, and also as an aid to making trading decisions. Anyone who uses the FLD to […]
Hurst’s Principle of Commonality states that financial markets around the world move with a good deal in common. What this means in practical terms is that troughs tend to form at the same times in all markets, and to a lesser extent peaks too form at the same time. However […]

Yes, that’s me, the last Euro Bull still standing! Actually that is a misleading title. I am not “still bullish”, but am about to become bullish. It might seem odd for me to be posting bullish thoughts about the Euro considering that yesterday the Euro dropped to its lowest level since […]
I know that whenever I take a holiday the markets are going to do something surprising, and I will be lying on the beach surreptitiously sneaking a look at the charts on a smart phone concealed in the pages of my summer read. This year the August trough provided the surprise, […]
Last week I discussed (on the Sentient Trader blog) why it was time for a bounce in the US stock markets, and they obliged this week with a strong move up. The cyclic analyst must always look ahead to the next move, and as markets make new highs (albeit in […]
Last week I discussed when we might expect a peak, and drew the conclusion that it was coming soon. It came slightly sooner than I expected as this week the US markets failed to get above last Friday’s high. Those few days have turned the current cycle shape more bearish than the […]
