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.
25th January 2002 - Outlook for DJIA - S&P 500 -NASDAQ
As we approach the March equinox, a series of interesting numbers are emerging.
180 weeks (1260 days) from the 8th Oct Significant low gives us the date : 21st March 2002.
180 (Sq144 *1.25) Days from the recent Sept 2001 low gives us the date : 20th March 2002.
180 Solar Degrees from the Sept 2001 Low Gives us the date : 18th March 2002
182 Days ( Gann Emblem ) from the Sept 2002 Low gives us the date : 22nd March 2002
521 Days (18 Oct 99 - 22 Mar 01) from 18th Oct 2000 Significant low gives : 23rd Mar 2002
439 Days (8 Mar 00 - 21 May 01) from 4th Jan 2001 significant high gives 19th Mar 2002
The March Equinox falls at 12.19 am on the 21st March 2002

Taking the above numbers into account and the fact that the last two equinoxes have proven useful, then we can make an assumption as to the upcoming Dates. As can be seen, there is a relatively wide variety in dates, however, that average for all the times falls around the 20th and 21st of March, so a change of trend can be expected on or around these days.


Summary for Week Ending 15th March 2002

After lasts weeks excitement, thing were a little more subdued this week, with all markets reacting off the 180 deg line from Sept 11. Both the Dow and the S&P were dull for most of the week slowly melting but not displaying any vigor in the downward slide. The NASDAQ made a reach forward on Monday to the 61.8% retracement level highlighted in last weeks chart and then headed South with much abandon.

Swing Charts
DJIA
No change to the Swing charts for the Weekly swings this week as the trend has slowed, but the Inside Bar this week has no effect on the overall pattern. The Daily swing chart has produced a lower High lower low pattern this week, with Fridays movement producing the second lower swing up. We can only await next weeks movements to confirm the Daily down swing pattern by producing a lower swing high ( below 10683).
S&P500 The weekly swings have no change as the movement this week produced an Inside Bar, but essentially the indicators are still Up. The slight softening in sentiment off the abovementioned 180 deg line combined with the run up on Friday has the Daily swing making a higher swing Low, although there is considerable Technical resistance around the 1175 level.
NASDAQ Similar to the S&P, the Weekly Swings are still essentially up, although the reaction off the 61.8% level combined with the 180 Solar Degree line may indicate that things for the NASDAQ are not all that rosy. Bearing in mind previous postings have mentioned that the NASDAQ is lagging behind the other markets considerably as far as technical performance is concerned.


Charts
Not much to say this week as we await the 180 Solar degree line from Sept 21. The dates, as outlined above may carry over to the following week, so watching price action will be the most important indicator at present. What should be looked for is price violence, that is, look for price movement to be swift. It is this violence in the market that is the greatest indicator for the long-term COT date being effective.

The S&P this week simply has the 1175 range marked on the chart, as this area has been dominating proceedings for some time now. There have been three attempts at this area with all three being repelled at the gate. From a purely technical perspective, the fourth attempt should be successful. As with the Dow, look for price action as we approach the 180 degree COT date.

The NASDAQ this week highlights the Price Retracements of last week and also has the Time range outlined highlighting Monday as 61.8% of the time range of the run up. Possible indicators to pattern, is the likelihood of a classic 3 wave decline, with this week producing the first leg of that pattern. The COT date is approaching, however as previously outlined, this may carry over to the following Monday.
