Dow Stock Market Trend Forecast and AI Investing Update (2/2)
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2019 Jul 31, 2019 - 10:35 AM GMTBy: Nadeem_Walayat
This is part 2 of my July stock market trend forecast update. Much as expected the correction ended and resolved in a rally towards the trend forecast. With the Dow currently deviating from the trend forecast by about +1.5%.
This analysis will now update the probability for the Dow continuing to oscillate around the trend forecast (red line) towards a September high of at least Dow 28k.
Technical Analysis
Trend Analysis
- The Dow has been putting in a series of higher lows and highs, however the pace of advance has slowed which implies a correction is imminent to target 26,500 as the Dow digests having breached the preceding high of 27k.
- Support is at 26,500, 26,000, 25,200 and 24,700.
- Trendline support is at 25,500, rising to 26,000 by the end of July. So the Dow has plenty of room to correct down to 26k if it chose to without altering the overall bullish picture.
Elliott Wave
- May's 3 wave downtrend was clearly corrective. Which implies we should be in for similar impulse wave to Wave 1 that ran for 5000 points, which if replicated would roughly take the Dow to 30,000!
- On a shorter scale we appear to be in a minor 5th wave which implies to expect a minor correction before the next leg higher to further new all time highs,
MACD - Gave a strong bullish signal early June, that implied that the Dow could run higher for a couple more months before encountering resistance i.e. early August.
Sell in May and Go Away - Seasonal pattern points to a continuation of the rally into the end of August.
Conclusion : Overall everything seems to be pointing towards a continuation of the stock market rally in line with my original trend forecast posted over 3 months ago! So I see no reason not to expect the Dow to continue to oscillate around forecast red line towards a target of at least Dow 28,000 by Mid September 2019. With the immediate trend expected to converge with the forecast i.e. a correction taking the Dow to the the forecast red line.
Peering into the Mists of Time
With the Fed now stating that it's going to CUT RATES whilst the DOW is trading AT new all time highs suggests to expect a more positive outlook for 2020 as the Fed is clearly seeking to reduce the risks of recession during election year and thus feed the stocks bull market, so I would not be surprised if this year we see a Santa rally to above Dow 30k on the back of Fed rate cuts! That's of course IF the Fed remains on track towards avoiding a 2020 recession!
AI Stocks Investing
And as I stated in the midst of the May correction, at the end of the day we are looking for opportunities to accumulate into the machine intelligence mega-trend stocks, especially those I consider primary AI stocks when they deviate significantly from the sector such as INTEL which is currently under performing at $48 after hitting a high of $59 in April.
Whilst all tech eyes are on Intel's 10th generation of Intel Core processors code named Ice Lake to replace the i7 range. However, the real developments are taking place with their AI neural net processors such as Nervana to allow for a massive expansion in AI complexity.

And beyond that are Quantum Computers with Intel's latest test chip being the 48-qubit Tangle Lake.
As part of the race to develop Quantum computers between Intel, IBM and Google. The 48-qubit test chip is potentially more powerful than any conventional micro processor. Intel has gone from a 7-qubit, to 17-qubit to now a 48-qubit chip over the past 3 years. Though the technology is likely still over a decade away from being practical, as it's yet to be figured out how to actually program them to fully utilise their immense potential processing power and we can only imagine the processing power that will come from systems comprising thousands of qubits. And remember that would just mark the BEGINNING much like being back in 1971 when Intel launched their first commercial microprocessor, the 4004! Qubits are the future! It's just that, that future is more than a decade away.
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE! Which is why INTEL, IBM and Google are Primary!
NVIDIA - a higher risk tertiary stock is also showing a significant deviation in trend.
Whilst most of the rest have launched into space. For instance Facebook is up 20%, Microsoft 17%. Apple 12%.....
Remember investing is to accumulate now for the big pay off when AI changes EVERYTHING, because we are going EXPONENTIAL!
