Global Equity Index

Readers would be aware that I have been bearish on US and Gobal equity markets since January 2014. The basic premise was that S&P500 was trading in the channel and was hitting the upper end of the channel. Hence the only option for S&P500 was to correct and fall towards the lower end of the channel.


As you can see from the below chart which was uploaded on my blog on 12th December 2014 S&P500 was trading at the upper end of the channel. 



And as you can see from the current chart S&P500 has now corrected towards the lower end of the channel. In the recent correction in January 2016, S&P500 made a low of 1812 which was dot on the lower end of the channel. Hence the first leg or correction in S&P500 is over.




Although, this correction did not pan out exactly as expected. I was expecting simple price correction but this correction was complex and contained a larger element of time correction as well. So what should we expect from here?

There are two possibilities from here.
1)      S&P500 will bounce back break the previous highs and move into a new bull market
2)      S&P500 will break the lower end of the channel and fall further 15% to make a low or around 1500 -1600

To come to a conclusion let’s see the charts of how global equity indices are placed and also see if we can get any clue from S&P500 itself.

Below are the charts of 5 Major global equity index 






As you can see most of the index are themselves into trading into a channel and have either broken down or are about to break down.
Moreover if you look at the yearly chart of S&P500 you will see that we are forming a evening star pattern on the candlestick charts.
Hence I will conclude that the global equity correction which started somewhere in 2015 will continue in 2016.

Summary:-
1)      If S&P500 will fall below 1800 the next target is in the range of 1500 -1600.
2)      Don’t buy S&P500 unless it breaks above 2050 on weekly closing basis.
3)      I see the probability of further correction in global markets to be more than 70%
