Russel 200 CRB Index and Nasdaq Composite Indices technical analysis



Russel 2000
The Russel 2000 index is leading the way down and lagged the Dow in its move to new highs recently. The rollover in prices from record optimism for US stocks marks a point at these highs that maybe important. In other words an important Medium term top may be in place for US stocks. There is also a major divergence at the highs on the RSI as momentum was lost



CRB Index
The commodity index started wave (c) of B down. The failure to breakout into wave C of larger degree makes this the best case. Commodity prices are reacting accross the board but this index has a larger component of energy. We have to give it time for wave (c) down to complete.



Nasdaq Composite
I have discussed how the arithmetic scale has been better for US indices since 2009 to fit a channel into the rise. So the Nasdaq composite is not only at the upper end but at the point where wave 5=1, and where wave 3=1.618 times wave 1. This is quite a perfect fractal, textbook to say the least rare, and the Sensex had the same fractal fit for the 1999-2000 bull market. Time to see whether wave 5 terminates at this Fibonacci projection as it logically should.

Elliott Wave analysts get blamed for having marked the Y2K top as the end of the 5th wave which was probably just the 4th. This is an occupational hazard. The time frame involved means that if you are wrong then its years worth in price. Still that does not diminish the importance of knowing where you are in the Fractal.
