Last week I banged on about the insignificance of the trough that has been forming in many of the markets that we follow. Today I would like to expand upon this topic by discussing why I continue to expect this trough to be insignificant, and describe how that has to […]

In a comment to this week’s Outlook post a Sentient Trader user asked two questions, the answers to which deserve their own post, hence this quick (and hopefully brief) post. Here is the comment from Jeffrey: David, I analyze the markets daily and this week I came upon something interesting. […]
Last week I discussed the likelihood of the formation of a trough in the US markets, a pause as they resignedly join the world trend and turn downwards. The drop early this week confirmed that the markets are turning down, and then the bounce back up on Thursday formed a […]
One of our readers posted some interesting questions about the Euro in the comments to Saturday’s ST Outlook, and instead of cluttering up the comments with a long essay (when I reached 500 words I thought better of it …) I am going to reply here as a separate post. […]
We have some exciting developments in the pipeline at Sentient Trader, and as a part of that our weekly analysis of the markets has moved to a new location on our site. Some of our readers were treated to an omnibus of past issues this week when we made the […]

On Tuesday (21 August 2012) the US markets made new highs intraday, (relative to the peaks formed earlier this year), but by the end of the day prices had started a strong move downwards which continued until Friday morning (24 August). The result was that a new closing high was […]
The US markets are poised for a reversal to the downside. Our analysis has been looking towards this peak ever since the identification of the 40-week cycle trough on 4 June 2012. Peaks are notoriously complicated when analyzing the markets according to Hurst’s Cyclic Principles because of the principle that […]
