My parameters have changed as of today. What would normally mark a high is now giving me signals that the markets may blow through tomorrow......

You nailed it. <_<

Thanks D, but was it all that hard to see that it was coming? We had a consolidation where the breadth momentum continued to rush higher and people were trying to sell short on Thursday morning, all the ingredients for a sharp short squeeze. The market started to rally minutes after my post and never looked back, typical when the operators decide to take no prisoners. Today was a religious day for bulls, a lot of recognition at the close, I think Monday morning may complete the "process"...

As expected, and posted in early Feb, we have an anniversary high in the early March time frame. This is in contrast to the consensus for a cycle low around 1020. Now, I'm looking forward to a push higher, without any serious corrections, into the early June time frame. This will spoil the party for the "sell in May" crowd and all those expecting a May top.

Yes TB, If the 64-66 week cycle is in force and it is left translated, you would still expect it to carry the markets higher for 1/3 to 1/2 of the way. This is anywhere from 22-32 weeks of up trend, it vaguely places a possibility of a top around the middle of July through early September...
