If one have been to consider all of the doom and gloom pundits – and there are too lots of as of late – the ought to be at 0 due to the identical outdated information: inflation, battle, the Fed, earnings steering, recession, and so forth.
However lo and behold, the index is rallying. Why? Markets are forward-looking and all about “inform me one thing I have no idea.” Thus, goal, fact-based analyses are the prudent and confirmed solution to go when forecasting the monetary markets. One technique that always will get it proper is the Elliott Wave Precept (EWP). For instance, based mostly on the EWP, I appropriately forecasted all of the important lows and highs through the second half of 2021, weeks to months forward. Equally, the index reached the significant c=a relationship and bottomed proper within the best 176.40-200.00%, (inexperienced) minor wave-5 goal zone in late Might. See Determine 1 beneath.

Current Rally Can Already Be Counted As 5 Waves Up
The rally into final week’s excessive could be counted as 5 waves up, however there’s the likelihood the sideways worth motion over the earlier seven buying and selling days is a part of a extra complicated (gray, minute) wave-iv. See “gray iii?, iv?, v?” in determine 1 above. Within the latter case, a each day shut above NDX 12805 will sign wave-v is below solution to ideally NDX 13100+/-100 to finish wave-1/a. From there (inexperienced, minor), wave-2/b ought to take maintain and ideally goal round NDX 12200+/-100 earlier than wave-3/c takes maintain. This feature is exemplified by the gray/inexperienced path in Determine 1.
Alternatively, the index has already accomplished (inexperienced, minor wave-1/a) and is now in wave-2/b, focusing on NDX 12100+/-100, ideally earlier than wave-3/c takes maintain. A each day shut beneath NDX 12410 (the current lows; crimson dotted line) will affirm wave-2/b is below approach. The inexperienced path in Determine 1 exemplifies this feature. The technical indicators on the each day charts are pointing up and are on a purchase, so I choose the primary choice. However sideways chop requires persistence, and the market will inform us quickly sufficient. In the end, it’s merely a matter of “rally first, then drop, adopted by not less than another rally,” or “drop now then rally.” The best upside goal zone for wave-3/c is analogous: NDX 14300+/-200.
The index should drop beneath NDX 12000 to inform me a way more complicated outlook is at hand and that the “pesky” NDX 11000 stage could be attained. It isn’t my most well-liked standpoint, merely an alternate, however that doesn’t imply one ought to dismiss it. Be ready for it by having applicable stops, for instance.
Backside Line: Based mostly on the bullish technical indicators, the popular path is a continued rally to ideally NDX 13100+/-100 to finish wave-1/a. I count on a ~5% pullback earlier than the subsequent leg larger, to ideally NDX 14300+/-200. Alternatively, the index will break immediately beneath NDX 12410, backside at round NDX 12100 after which rally to ~NDX 14300.
