Almost like clockwork, our research team, at Technical Traders Ltd., (predicted on September 17<\/a>) the US stock market would turn lower and attempt a 5~8% downside move on or after September 21 headed into the US mid-term elections.\u00a0 Our analysis of the potential downside move was related to our price modeling systems expectations that a common predicted downside target existed between -5% and -8%.\u00a0 Our researchers did not believe the markets would fall much below -10% before hammering out a price bottom and finding support.<\/p>\n

Today, we wanted to alert you to the fact that we are just 7~10 days away from the US mid-term elections and if our predictions hold true, we will be establishing a price bottom in the US stock markets over the next 5+ trading days and begin a new upside price rally fairly quickly after the election results are known.\u00a0 We could interpret this as \u201ca period of uncertainty that is mixed with economic and news data\u201d which results in investors pulling out of the markets ahead of these types of global events.\u00a0 In all reality, the US elections are really a global event for many investors.\u00a0 Policies, regulations, taxes, objectives, and execution become a very big question for many as these elections take place.\u00a0 Hundreds of billions of dollars are exposed to risk in the weeks headed into US elections and, thus, global investors and traders are always cautious headed into a major US election.<\/p>\n

Our theory is that this phenomenon has become even more volatile in recent years and global political ideals have become further polarized.\u00a0 We believe when a sitting US president that has served for two terms is leaving office, far greater volatility enters the global markets typically.\u00a0 We believe that mid-term US elections, depending on the political climate at the time, may or may not reflect in broad global market concerns and volatility.\u00a0 We\u2019ve highlighted major US Presidential elections and US Mid-Term elections on the chart below so you can see how volatility and price rotation increase or decrease depending on the political climate and uncertainty associated with these US elections.\u00a0 We\u2019ve highlighted 6+ months (or longer) before Presidential elections and a few months before mid-term elections.<\/p>\n

The current election event, November 6, 2018, is somewhat unique as it also coincides with the US Fed having raised FFR rates considerably over the past 2+ years as well as after a dramatic price increase in the US equities markets following the election of President Donald J. Trump.\u00a0 You can clearly see from the chart below that the QQQ has increased by nearly $80+ over the past two years while that same $80 increase existed over the entire Obama stock market recovery (8 years).\u00a0 This reflects the amount of increased volatility and activity that is within the current global capital market.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This QQQ Weekly chart highlights what we believe to be the core elements of this election cycle rotation.\u00a0 On this Weekly chart, the overall price trend is still BULLISH (see the DARKER GREEN blocks near the bottom of the chart) and the bullish price trigger level near $163 is still valid.\u00a0 Yes, the shorter term price trend is currently BEARISH and has been so since the week of October 8.\u00a0 You can see the bearish price trigger level near $179 (in red) that was recently breached and the downside price target level (in blue) near $166.<\/p>

Our expectations from our predictions that the markets would be rotated lower by 5~8% were that the markets would move towards the lower YELLOW price channel level and stall near these levels (or just below these levels).\u00a0 We did not expect the extended price decline that was a result of earnings data and housing data being released last week.\u00a0 We still believe this move has already reached its downside objectives and is in the process of setting up a major bottom formation.\u00a0 We believe the extended move was an emotional price reaction to a hyper-election environment in the US and extended anticipation of caution in the global capital markets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the next segment of this research article, we\u2019ll take a look at additional technical, price and modeling systems that support our belief of a major bottom formation setting up in the US equity markets and how election cycle events should be played for success.\u00a0 This current downside price rotation has extended to below our expected levels \u2013 much like a deeper \u201cwashout low\u201d price formation.\u00a0 We continue to believe the next 7+ trading days will hammer out a bottom formation and that the US equities markets will resume an upside advance shortly after the elections are completed and throughout the remainder of 2018.<\/p>\n
