The following table is the percentage change of sectors and major market indexes against the 89-day exponential moving average (EMA89). The Wilshire 5000 index, as an average or a benchmark of the total market, is 0.08% below the EMA89. Outperforming sectors are Biotech (6.63%), Healthcare (3.48%), and Pharmaceuticals (2.84%). Underperforming sectors are Precious Metals (-13.24%), Oil Equipment (-7.17%), and Energy (-6.61%).

Since the downward breakout from the 4-month rising wedge (Ending Diagonal) in late July, the S&P 500 index has been in primary wave [4]. Now this primary wave [4] is becoming a Complex Correction to have a double intermediate (A)–(B)–(C) corrective wave sequence with wave (X) in between.

Last two weeks the S&P 500 index was in downward wave (A) for the second intermediate (A)–(B)–(C) correction. Friday’s big rebound sparked by a favorable jobs report should be a turning point to end downward wave (A) and to start upward wave (B).

The German DAX index has a similar Elliott Wave structure to the S&P 500 index. But it has been much weaker than the S&P 500 index since July. Now it is in primary wave [4] and intermediate wave (C). The length of wave (C) would be same as wave (A). The corrective wave [4] is most likely in a Zigzag correction rather than a flat correction.

In the one-year time horizon, the DAX also is forming a potential Head-and Shoulders pattern which the left shoulder and head have completed above a neckline at the 9000 level. Now it could be forming the right shoulder.

In the weekly chart of the India Bombay Stock Exchange 30 Sensex index, there is a possible development of a Bump and Run Reversal Top pattern. According to Thomas Bulkowski, the Bump-and-Run Reversal Top pattern consists of three main phases:

1) A lead-in phase in which a lead-in trend line connecting the lows has a slope angle of about 30 degrees. Prices move in an orderly manner and the range of price oscillation defines the lead-in height between the lead-in trend line and the first parallel line.

2) A bump phase where, after prices cross above the first parallel line, excessive speculation kicks in and the bump phase starts with fast rising prices following a sharp trend line slope with 45 degrees or more until prices reach a bump height with at least twice the lead-in height. Once the second parallel line gets crossed over, it serves as a sell line.

3) A run phase in which prices break support from the lead-in trend line in a downhill run.

Since March of this year, the Bombay index has been in the Bump phase with a sharp trendline as excessive speculation drives prices up steeply. It is bullish as long as prices keep up above the Bump Trendline. But now the index is testing the Bump Trendline. If prices break below the trendline, a sell-off could get triggered.

After crashed from its all time high in 2007, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index has been in a long time sliding through a primary corrective [A]-[B]-[C] wave structure for years. Its primary wave [C] is in a formation of a 5-year falling wedge which is also characterized as a “Ending Diagonal”. Once this ending diagonal ends, the bear market with primary corrective [A]-[B]-[C] waves should end too.

In July, prices finally broke above the upper boundary of the falling wedge and triggered an explosive advance. This breakout is a bullish reversal signal in the long-term for the Chinese stock market, that means ending primary wave [C] and starting primary wave [1].

It also formed an 1-year horizontal trading range between 2000 and 2250. Early September prices broke above the upper horizontal resistance level of 2250 with a sharp advance. Based on that bullish breakout, the upside price target for the medium-term is projected at 2460.

The table below is the percentage change of major global stock market indexes against the 89-day exponential moving average (EMA89). Currently Chinese market is outperforming. The Russian market is underperforming.

In the following weekly chart, the U.S. dollar formed a 3-year ascending broadening triangle pattern. Last week the dollar had a bullish breakout from the upper boundary of the triangle. Based on this breakout of the pattern, the upside price target is projected at 90.76. This could add a pressure on gold and silver.

The following chart is a daily chart of the 30-year U.S. treasury bond index. The index has formed a 9-month bullish uptrend channel. The sharp decline in September pulled the index towards the lower boundary of the channel. The lower boundary of the channel is an important line for the trend of the treasury bond. It would be bullish as long as prices stay inside the channel.

The following chart shows that the gold index formed a 17-month Descending Triangle pattern. Gold has been moving sideways over a year inside this triangle. Before a breakout from the triangle, gold is neutral in the medium-term although it is bearish in the short-term. The next breakout from the descending triangle would generate a significant move. Now gold is testing the lower boundary of the triangle.

Based on Bulkowski’s measure rule on descent triangle patterns, the upside price target is estimated at 1550 with an upward breakout, and the downside price target is estimated at 1055 with a downward breakout.

The silver index formed a 16-month Descending Triangle pattern. Recently it broke below the lower horizontal boundary of the triangle. This breakout is bearish to silver. Based on Bulkowski’s measure rule on descent triangle patterns, the downside price target is estimated at 15 with a downward breakout.

Gold/silver mining stocks are forming an 15-month horizontal trading range between 80 and 107.5. Prices typically oscillate inside the range before a breakout.

The GDX Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF is forming an 9-month horizontal trading range between 20.5 and 28. Prices typically oscillate inside the range before a breakout.

Crude oil is forming a 6-week descending broadening wedge pattern. This wedge pattern is a potential bullish reversal formation and it is making the oil price shift gradually away from the 15-week bearish downtrend channel.

The following table is the percentage change of each asset class (in ETFs) against the 89-day exponential moving average (EMA89). Currently the U.S. dollar is outperforming and gold is underperforming.
