The S&P 500 index has been in a 2-month flat correction and it is waiting for a breakout from its 10-week ascending triangle pattern. The Chinese stock market turned into a major correction with the primary second wave, and the Indian stock market rolled over after a major bearish reversal. The German DAX index has been in a correction with the intermediate fourth wave. The broad stock market is projected to be in a short-term bearish time-window until 5/12/2015.

The Leading-Wave Index (LWX) is Nu Yu’s proprietary leading indicator for US equity market. LWX>+1 indicates bullish (green); LWX< -1 indicates bearish (red); The LWX between +1 and -1 indicates neutral (yellow).

The Broad Market Instability Index (BIX), measured from over 8000 U.S. stocks, closed at 24 on 5/8/2015 (down from 37 the previous week) which is below the panic threshold level of 42 and indicates a bullish market. Based on the forecast of LWX, the broad stock market will be in a short-term bearish time-window until 5/12/2015 (see the second table above).

The daily chart below has the Wilshire 5000 index with both the BIX and the Momentum indicators. The current market status is summarized as follows:

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 1.78% above the EMA89. Outperforming sectors are Internet (3.82%), Banks (3.51%), and Oil Equipment (3.34%). Underperforming sectors are Utilities (-2.12%), Real Estate (-1.97%), and Home Construction (-1.84%).

Currently the S&P 500 index is in primary impulse wave [5]. Ideally primary wave [5] contains an intermediate (1)–(2)–(3)–(4)–(5) sub-wave structure. This fifth primary wave will be the last up leg of the entail bull market started from 2009, and this last leg can last several months which began from mid October of 2014 and will end sometime in 2015.

From early December to late January, the SPX 500 index was in a flat correction with intermediate corrective wave (2) having minor wave a–b–c sub-wave sequence. After that, the S&P 500 index is in intermediate wave (3). Wave (3) should contain 1–2–3–4–5 minor sub-wave sequence.

Since the beginning of March, the SPX 500 index has been in another flat correction with minor wave 2. Minor wave 2 is in an (a)-(b)-(c)-(d)-(e) sequence within an ascending triangle pattern. Once prices break above the upper boundary of the triangle, corrective minor wave 2 will end and upward minor wave 3 will start.

In the following weekly chart, the German DAX index has been in primary impulse wave [5] since mid October. Primary wave [5] has an intermediate (1)–(2)–(3)–(4)–(5) five-wave sequence.

Intermediate wave (3) had a very good run, but it came to the end last week. Now it is in intermediate corrective wave (4).

In the weekly chart, the India Bombay Stock Exchange 30 Sensex index is forming a Bump-and-Run Reversal Top pattern. Since March of 2014, the Bombay index has been in the Bump phase with a sharp trendline as excessive speculation drives prices up steeply. Prices reached a bump height with three times the lead-in height. But recently the index broke below the bump trendline, and it signaled a bearish reversal.

Last year the Chinese stock market phased out its years-long bear market after it completed a 5-year “Ending Diagonal” pattern. A new bull market has started since last summer. The Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index has been in primary wave [1] which is the first up leg of a potential multi-year bull market. Primary wave [1] has an intermediate (1)–(2)–(3)–(4)–(5) five-wave sequence.

Since beginning of May, intermediate wave (5) has ended, and primary wave [2] has started. Primary wave [2] is a major correction which should have an intermediate (a)–(b)–(c) wave sequence, and potentially can retrace down to the 3100 level.

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 Indian market is underperforming.

In the following weekly chart, the U.S. dollar is forming a Bump-and-Run Reversal Top pattern. Prices have advanced above the 1st parallel line with a deep slope since late last year. The uptrend continues as long as prices stay above the Bump Trendline. Now prices have broken below both the second parallel line and the bump trendline. The dollar has a bearish reversal.

The 30-year U.S. treasury bond index is forming a 9-month ascending broadening wedge. The last upward swing was unable to reach the upper boundary of the wedge, and a partial rising was formed. It is a bearish signal to break to the downside of the wedge.

The gold index is forming a 3-month inverted head-and-shoulders pattern. To confirm a bullish reversal, prices need to break above the neckline.

The silver index is forming a 3-month inverted head-and-shoulders pattern. To confirm a bullish reversal, prices need to break above the neckline.

Crude oil formed a 3-month double bottoms pattern. Prices has recently broken above the resistance level of 54. The upside price target is projected at 62.25.

The following table is the percentage change of each asset class (in ETFs) against the 89-day exponential moving average (EMA89). Currently equity is outperforming and US treasury bond is underperforming.
