Dow Stock Market Trend Forecast 2018

Dow Stock Market Forecast Conclusion

Therefore my forecast conclusion as illustrated by the below chart is for the Dow to target a trend towards Dow 26,000 by Mid September, following which the market should correct during October that could retrace all of the move from August to Mid September which would then set the scene for the Santa rally to start during November and continue post Christmas that would target a new all time high at approx Dow 27,000.

The updated chart confirms expectations for the stock market to trend towards a late December 2018 target of at least Dow 27k, with the current price action showing relative strength against the trend forecast which on face value implies a higher Dow target of 27,500. Though more probable would be for an earlier deeper correction, thus at the end of the day I am still expecting around Dow 27k.

I am currently working on the prospects for the Gold price, and then soon after a look at Silver, and then the UK housing market, hopefully all before the end of August.

And finally during the holidays I even managed to pop down to the Bank of England to have a word with Governor Mark Carney, unfortunately they would not let me in. Anyway here's a unique view of the Bank of England in VR 360.
