Outlook for Selected Markets. DJIA - NASDAQ - S&P 500
The following forecasts are based upon a selection of primary tools and the application of a number of simple Gann rules regarding Time based analysis and forecasting. The 'Change of Trend' (COT) dates should not be taken to represent dates upon which a significant change of trend will occur. Suffice to say that according to rules applied, a change in trend should occur on the given date. How this date is arrived at will be published in the week following the COT date irregardless as to the success or failure of the forecast.
24th November 2001 - Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJIA ) Outlook
Taking a number of larger time frames into account, there is a clustering around the 14th of December. There is also one major time frame which gives the 10th of December, which is also 90 degrees from the Sept 11th attack. Monday the 17th December is 90 degrees from the Sept 17th restart and December 19th is 90 degrees from the Sept 21st major low. As can be seen when looking at time, mid December has a considerable amount of action due.

24th November 2001 - Standard and Poors 500 ( S&P 500 ) Outlook
Taking a number of larger time frames into account, there is a clustering around the 17th of December and the 19th December. The 10th December COT date also holds ( as it does for all markets ) as 90 deg from Sept 11 attack.

24th November 2001 - NASDAQ Outlook
Taking a number of intermediate time frames into account, there is a clustering around the 8th December and 10th December. As noted previously, the 10th December is 90 Deg from the Sept 11th attack.


Summary for Week Ending 30th Nov 2001
DJIA See Chart
Monday saw the COT for the 19th canceled out with the Dow making new highs. As mentioned in last weeks report, a COT was also likely on this day, and with price touching the highlighted 150% range square an then retreating, gave the Day a nice Price-Time. Market action following Monday's high was fairly swift with the market dropping 425 points ( ~4%) in three days to bottom out for the week on Thursday (See Week Ending 9th Nov)

This weeks chart shows the 851 point Range Square that was highlighted in last weeks charts. Also the Price Retracement from Mondays high shows that the 50% retracement from Mondays high is within 3 points of the significant low of 1st Nov. Also, in previous messages I have highlighted that technically, this trend is weakening, with further evidence rising from the recent 3 day reversal. This is the first time since Sept 11 that the market has managed more that 2 days in reverse. The Most Likely COT for this week is Friday, being 30 degrees from the Nov 1st low.

S&P 500 See Chart
The S&P has yet to make it to the forecast 1171 range, but did find resistance against the upper trend line running from the 1st Sept 2000 and 22nd May 2001 highs. A 2 day reversal followed with the market gaining some strength on Friday, managing to hold its ground around the previous days close, overall though performance was not impressive.

This weeks chart highlights the Upper trend line previously mentioned as well as the likely support levels should interest on the downside persist. It should be noted that similar to the DOW, the 50% support level for the movement is at the 30th Oct significant low. Again we have geometry supporting the current top, however a lower top ( as per Gann's rules for trend reversal )will be needed to confirm. As per the Dow, a likely COT for this week is Friday.

NASDAQ See Chart
If the Nasdaq was a dog, would you shoot it ?
That may be a bit extreme, since being dull isn't a crime.
The market is crawling along through the channel that is highlighted on this weeks chart. As mentioned last week, performance is less than dynamic, making for a dull existence for market watchers. The highlight for this week, is the approaching forecast ( see top of page ), and we can only hope that it brings forth some activity with adrenaline ... and not prozac.

This weeks chart is principally concerned with classic technical factors, being trend lines and parallel channels. The Price retracement levels are highlighted again this week. As per the other 2 markets, Friday is also a watch day, which coincides with the 8th Dec forecast COT, however this does get mixed up with the 10th Dec COT as well. All round , it's a tad messy, but market action, as we approach will always lead the way.
