9 month cycle bottom

I am not a cycles guy and i don't watch short-term cycles. But i do pay attention to the 40 week-cycle, i.e the 9 month cycle. One of the most powerful and reliable cycles IMO.



Ideally the cycle is due the end of Septempber. If it right translates, the way it did the last time, then it's due end of Oct to first week of Nov.

There are wide range of opinions concerning the LT scenario. Opinions range from a dark bear breaking the Oct 02 lows to a LT bull which has already resumed. Some remain in the middle camp which are calling for a cyclical bear. I continue to remain in the middle camp i.e a primary degree wave 2 from the Oct 07 top (Wave 1 being the primary 1 from oct 02 - oct 07).

The coming 9 cycle bottom would give more clues about the intermediate picture. Ideally we should break below SPX 1200 and put the necessary divergences on the weekly to end the primary degree wave A of 2 and start the primary degree wave B of 2.

On the other hand, if the 9 month cycle lows hold above SPX 1200, then it would mean that the primary degree wave A of 2 terminated at SPX 1200 and we are already in a primary degree wave B.

The coming 9 month bottom will provide strong clues about the IT scenario and put to rest all opinions, as the market will once again assert itself, leaving behind all opinions in the dust !

Nav, how do you decide where to initiate the cycle series. This, of course, impacts cycle bottom projections.
