Sorry everyone, I can't help it, but in my last post, I show that the market is about to make a pivot as a whole. Now, with a quick glance at Apple, which comprises over 15% of the Nasdaq 100 and 4% of the S & P 500, is showing the same exact behavior. Take a look at the video here for my logic.
In other words, don't go buying Apple stock for the next two days, until these curious pivot points are proven false.
It's always a great feeling when I see a market pivot time and then find an event, such as an economic report or a Fed meeting that coincides with the time. This coming week, I have nothing besides Ben Bernanke's speech tomorrow, but the pivot is showing to be extremely important, much more than the June 19th, July 3rd, and the July 19th pivots. The date is August 6th, which leads into the first days with a reversed trend, August 7th and 8th.
The cluster between August 6th to 8th represents.
I know, I feel like I should bring out a book of Nostradamus now and start reading 2012 prophecies. That's why I never trade using this alone. It's essentially like a sign you see when driving that says "road work ahead." So you should keep an eye out for sudden stops. To try and pick a top, I will be watching the momentum indicator for negative divergences on the hourly and 120 minute chart.
After these pivots, there will not be another pivot, besides intraday pivots, until September, and then during early October, there are several pivots that have more importance than any I have seen in the past two years. I'll post more about them when the time comes. Until then, happy trading!

As promised, the market gets one more rally. Now, we can predict which dates and which prices the market will turn. Keep a close eye on the Russell 2000, as we should see it begin to underperform the market once the move is nearing its end. Here's the picture below of my pivot analysis. The next market pivot should take place next Tuesday, which makes next Wednesday a down day.

So, where's the market going this week? Most likely higher, but ending with a sharp reversal. Check out the video for the actual reversal price and time targets. Enjoy!
