The inverse relationship between stocks and interest rates plays an important rule to the current stock market. This week’s U.S. central bank’s policy meeting will be the focus of financial markets. The market could be volatile also with the triple witching nears. There is still at least one more upside push left for the stock market before the Fed raises interest rates this year. The broad stock market is about to turn into a short-term bullish time-window and is projected to be in the bullish time-window until 6/25/2015.

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 22 on 6/12/2015 (down from 29 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 is turning into a short-term bullish time-window, and will be in this bullish time-window until 6/25/2015 (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 0.44% above the EMA89. Outperforming sectors are Banks (5.87%), Wireless Communication (4.44%), and Biotech (3.06%). Underperforming sectors are Precious Metals (-7.38%), Utilities (-4.82%), and Real Estate (-4.07%).

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 primary fifth wave is the last up leg of the entail bull market started from 2009, and we gradually approach the end of this last up leg before the next market collapse. Any further upside push will make a major top of the market. The following 7-year weekly chart gives a big picture of the S&P 500 index and shows where we are with the fifth primary wave.

Primary wave [5] has been confined in a rising wedge for over 6 months. This rising wedge is also characterized as a Ending Diagonal. Since the beginning of March, it has been in corrective intermediate wave (4) with a flat correction combining two a-b-c corrective wave sequences. It looks like that Sub-wave c of the second a–b–c corrective wave process is ending. Upward intermediate wave (5) will be the next.

In the following weekly chart, the German DAX index has been in primary impulse wave [5] since mid October of last year. Primary wave [5] has an intermediate (1)–(2)–(3)–(4)–(5) five-wave sequence. Now it is in intermediate corrective wave (4). Intermediate corrective wave (4) nears its end, and intermediate upward wave (5) will be the next.

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. The downside risk is very high for the index once prices break blow the 2nd parallel line.

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 the beginning of this year, the index has been in intermediate wave (5). Now this intermediate wave becomes a fifth-wave extension within a rising wedge or an ending diagonal. Intermediate wave (5) is the last up leg of primary wave [1]. Corrective primary wave [2], potentially a fall more than 20% is the next.

A fifth wave extension or an ending diagonal implies dramatic reversal ahead. For more information about the ending diagonal, visit: “Ending Diagonal: A Pattern That Sends Shivers Down Investors’ Spines” at Elliott Wave International.

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 formed a partial rising which is a bearish signal to break to the downside of the wedge. Now prices have breached the lower boundary of the wedge. The downside price target is projected at 136. Lower bond prices imply higher bond yields, and is a bearish indication for those interest-rate-sensitive sectors.

The gold index broke below the lower boundary of its 3-month ascending triangle. The downside price target is projected at 1141.

The silver index is forming a 3-month uptrend channel. Prices typically swing between two boundaries of the channel. Now prices are testing the lower boundary of the channel.

Crude oil is forming a measured move up pattern after it developed the first up leg. Now it is in consolidation. Once prices break above 61, the second up leg will start.

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