Dow Stock Market Long-term Trend Analysis

Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021 Mar 18, 2021 - 04:26 PM GMT

FED Balance Sheet

Not to forget the inflation mega-trend courtesy of rampant central bank money printing to monetize government debt coupled with the fake inflation indices. So you really think US inflation is just 1%? it's more like 6%! Anyway the money printing binge now totals $7.4 trillion, up from $4 trillion at the start of 2020.

The bottom line is forget what the bond market is implying because interest rates are manipulated, instead the real impact of money printing 'should' be seen in a falling Dollar, though every central bank is printing money, so it's going to be a bumpy ride. In the meantime if you think there is deflation compare the price of the stuff that you really want against what they were selling for a year ago! That's if you can get what you want because the tech market is OUT OF STOCK of GPU's, CPUs, and MEMORY! A market that is seeing price hikes on a near DAILY basis to near DOUBLE MSRP!

DJIA Stock Market Technical Trend Analysis

Dow Short-term Analysis

The stock market has fully recovered from the Chinese Coronavirus catastrophe. Remember the Dow traded down to a low of just 18,213 on 23rd of March 2020 and then over the next 10 months recovered to trade at a series of new all time highs into 2021, all whilst the virus has continued to rage on, delivering the US and UK WORSE second peaks in terms of infections and deaths.

(Charts courtesy of stockcharts.com)

February's rally has clearly caught most market commentators by surprise especially those who see every dip as the start of a bear market as the stock market has once more busted their perma bear flush of every high being the final fifth of the fifth of the fifth bull market top. The recent correction found support at just below 30,000 before swiftly ending and propelling the stocks bull market to another new all time closing yesterday of 31385 with scope to continue climbing higher all the way to 32,000.

Long-term Trend Analysis

The Dow has broken out to new all time highs above 29,600 which successfully held as support during the January correction.

TREND CHANNELS - The Dow crashed out of it's 2019 trading channel which it recovered to trade into during November with the lower channel extending to 33k into the end of 2021, and the upper channel to 35,500 thus implies to expect the Dow to trade within this channel during the year. Whilst the newer channels since the Pandemic crash low extend to a range of 34,000 to 35,000 into the end of 2021.

So a bullish 2021 should see the Dow trade between 34,000 and 35,500 during the year, with significant support at 30,000 during the first half of the year.

TREND ANALYSIS - The Dow continues to trend higher making higher highs and lows, and given the behaviour during the January correction there may not be much downside opportunities to accumulate into during the year.

RESISTANCE - Resistance lies at the 32,000, 33,000, 34,000 and 35k.

SUPPORT - There is heavy support between 29,600 and 30,000. I cannot see the Dow trading much below 30,000 during the remainder of 2021.

TRENDLINES - There are 2 rising trend lines off the post pandemic crash lows with the upper acting as short-term support and resistance and the second as key support for 2021, which implies that 30k is unlikely to break on any correction into Mid year.

MACD - MACD is neutral so supportive of a continuing bull run for a couple of months or so.

ELLIOTT WAVES

My commonsense interpretation of EWT continues to resolve in accurate outcomes as the chart of my last analysis implied to expect a strong 5 wave impulse advance into 2021 that has come to pass.

If elliott waves followed a similar pattern in time rather than price which would imply that the larger Wave 3 bull run will terminate early May and correct ABC style which chimes well with "Sell in May and Go Away".

SEASONAL ANALYSIS

The seasonal pattern suggests after a pause in Feb, then higher into late April the correct from early May into late June followed by a volatile summer terminating in a swing low during September that should set the scene for a bull run into the Christmas Holidays with of course intra month volatility during October that tends to resolve to the upside just as the perma-bears crow their loudest about the market having topped.

Of course last year we saw the March Pandemic CRASH, which did divert the stock market TEMPORARILY away from it's seasonal trend, so if anything similar happens again BUY THE DEVIATION! Just as we did during March, but given the weight of the above analysis I am not seeing what could give is such a deviation to the downside during 2021, not even Covid-20, not whilst the Fed keeps printing.

US Presidential Cycle

The post election year tends to be positive, not as strong as election years though of course this time round we had the pandemic crash in it's midst, which therefore suggests 2021 could turn out to be a strongly bullish year with the market trading up by at least 10% towards the end of the year, in fact could surprise to the upside, 15%, 20% even?

Again this analysis (2 of 3) is an excerpt form recent extensive analysis that concludes in detailed stock market trend forecast for 2021 that has first been made available to Patrons who support my work.
