Evening all.

Saudi has broken off relations with Iran, so expect oil
to rise. May head off any down move, I will wait and
see how the land lies.
 
My last timing analysis on the Dow/SPX had suspected a similar 2 week decline from Dec 7th to Dec 22nd as to that of around the August 10th to Aug 24th 2015 one.

The Market did decline but not like the August large price decline..but did so similarly in terms of time... The Low coming in Dec 21st.

The Market however did make a series of 3 large up and down moves within this time frame of over 2000 points. but the Dec 7th High still held.

My issue now is that the Prior July to August swing highs still hold...BUT also we have now had two lows come in on what I see as important timing dates...ie Aug 24th and the Recent December 21st Lows.

Often January 4th to 9th prove as important dates in the US Indexes...So I am also wondering if Jan 4th May become another main Low...

If the Market holds above the Dec 21st Low (17113) either on Jan 4th or this week.. then...I would suspect a possible strong rally..

My Next Main Cycle is about Jan 24th that I am suspecting as some sort of High...either another swing high or NEW all time High..

If this occurs, then...I also question could this become a Major new high that then sees the start of a major decline for 2016..

If However we see a break below the 17113 Dec 21st Low... then I would suspect a continued decline to at least January 24th..

My problem is that that Market did not fall as much as I expected from Dec 7th..that I was expecting would be more bearish than the July / August swing high cycles.....and the market is still closer to those Prior 2015 highs.... than the Aug 24th Low..and I am wondering are those prior highs still going to hold or be bearish cycles..that maybe stronger than the Aug 24th Low cycle.

That has been some decline since 1 am UK on the Dow....365 points down so far and its only 8.20 am...

17488 high to 17123 as I write... The Prior lows made on Dec 21st of 17113 look like being tested.

I have 3 cycles this week of interest...that may suggest 4th 6th and weekend 10th/11th that may be a triple bottom forming from today..

but I think if Dec 21st Low breaks... I suspect the market is to remain longer term bearish..

I cannot see any indication of a FOMC report this Wednesday Dentist.. at least for the USA..

Reports out today..some Europe and USA..UK time
