Tech musings:- US markets




When I wrote my last post on 27th Jan 2014 S&P500 was trading at 1790 levels and it fell to 1740, but to my surprised market recouped the losses and move up to make new marginal new highs which was completely unexpected. 

Although markets broke above previous high they were extremely range bound in last three months and have barely moved up by 2% and given up almost all their gains in first week of April.





If we look at the given chart of S&P500 we can see that the index have done exactly done 38.2% extension of the entire fall of 2008 – 2009. Also 1900 is a psychological resistance level. Moreover markets also looks exhausted and haven’t moved anywhere in last three months.






If we look at the second chart we can see that markets have been trading at the resistance of the channel line for quite sometime now are ready to correct towards the lower end of the channel.
 





In the third chart I have marked the probable path of S&P500 with a red line. I am expecting that the markets will fall to 1600 levels to retest the trend line before they finally move up towards 2100 levels

Summary:-
1.       S&P 500 looks ripe for a 15% correction.
2.       Maximum upside form here is limited to 1900 – 1950 levels
3.       Markets may fall to 1600 levels from here.
4.       The probability of that happening is more than 90%
