The forecasted highs and lows you should focus on are the yellow lines. The closer together these yellow lines are (predicted high\/predicted low, the more confident we can be that prices should follow this path.\u00a0 The farther apart they are, the more likely we will see increased volatility and the potential for larger swings in price range.<\/p>\n<p>The article we posted last week was titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/partners\/idevaffiliate.php?id=237&amp;url=http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/2017\/12\/29\/2018-first-quarter-technical-analysis-price-forecast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 First Quarter Rally<\/a>\u201d for your reference.<\/p>\n<p>As of this week, only a few days into the new 2018 trading year, the US markets are already up between 1~2.5% and likely have another 1~3% more upside activity before finding any resistance.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look at some charts.<\/p>\n<p>This Weekly chart of the Nasdaq (NQ) clearly shows the expected future price levels and ranges going out nearly three months into the future.\u00a0 You can see from this chart that the YELLOW LINES are predicting generally higher price levels through the end of February 2018 when a sudden price consolidation is expected.\u00a0 This will likely result in a 2~5% price decline sometime between February 21 and March 26, 2018.\u00a0 After this brief rotation, the Adaptive Dynamic Learning modeling system is predicting further price advancements in the range of 2~3% or more before stalling again in late April 2018. So pay attention, any lows in the NQ below 6485 are likely very strong BUY TRIGGERS.<\/p><div id=\"inves-3642613948\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25206\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_NQ_ADL_W.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_NQ_ADL_W.png 999w, http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_NQ_ADL_W-300x177.png 300w, http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_NQ_ADL_W-768x453.png 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"999\" height=\"589\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a look at the SPY on a Weekly basis.<\/p>\n<p>The SPY chart is more uniform in structure and alignment with the ADL predictive modeling system.\u00a0 This tells us that the price volatility for this symbol will be more muted than the NQ Futures chart.\u00a0 It also tells us that we may not see the same level of volatility enter the SPY till after January 22, 2018 \u2013 which is when the first real measurable divergence in predictive price levels happens.<\/p>\n<p>The first measurable rally in the SPY in 2018 should be about 2.5~3% from 2017 closing price levels and end near February 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0or so.\u00a0 This move will be followed by a very short downside price correction of about -1~2% ending near March 10th~16<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The next leg higher could be relatively large with a 3~5% rally through the end of April 2018.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25207 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_SPY_ADL_W.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_SPY_ADL_W.png 999w, http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_SPY_ADL_W-300x177.png 300w, http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Chart_18-01-03_SPY_ADL_W-768x453.png 768w\" alt=\"\" width=\"999\" height=\"589\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are predicting that this first Quarter in 2018 will see a continued market rally with a brief pause\/stall in price near the end of February or early March.\u00a0 We believe the Q1 final results will be the\u00a0 NQ ending 3~5% higher than the 2017 closing price and the SPY ending 5~6% higher than the 2017 closing price.\u00a0 Are you ready for this move?\u00a0 Do you know which stock or ETF you should trade for maximum return?
