    MAY ANALYTICS

    While the Main Stream Media and otherswere speculating that this was thebeginnings of a new "bull', we classified itas a rounded top and a corrective in a bearmarket. We specified in our Cover Article"Hybernation Over" that a Top was in theprocess and we would soon be headingdown, even though there was no clear signsyet (technically) of this. Without therounded top marked in for reference, thetrend still appears strong and setting up foranother lift. (CHART 1)

    MAY ISSUE 2011ROUNDED TOP CALL

    The rounded top has called a major pivot,and you can see the retesting of the right

    hand side of the ellipse as we have movedforward (and down) keeping in line with theoverall pattern. The individual moves havealso behaved as expected inside a roundedtop formation.

    e recognized the current rounded top formation rightom our initial publication. Even if we were to now

    mehow veer away from the formation (not likely), weve had eight months that behaved according to, and

    oved along with, a predicted pattern.

    THE SUMMER SESSION(JUNE, JULY & AUGUST)

    Our June issue mentions for the first timethe Head & Shoulders pattern and wesuggest that it is significant and should be

    watched out for. We prove this without adoubt in our December Issues' FeatureArticle, "Current Market Fractal: Head &Shoulders Pattern".June's TA discusses volatility, more up-down and another lift expected prior toany great sell off.

    The chart below (chart 3) from our July issueshows the up-down and lift that was expected.The Moving Average crosses are highlightedhere, noting how the last lift keeps a cross

    from occurring. We warn that a drop isexpected and to watch for a cross of the 100DMA by the 50 DMA as a trigger.

    The TA section of our August Issue used aGann analysis to further exemplify theRounded Top pattern and demonstrate whatwas occurring.

    (chart 6)

    We updated this chart in November. Coming just shy of our expected support, we thenbounced as predicted back up towards theinside of the ellipse and channels. All this is'proper' Rounded Top behavior and adds moresupport to our call(s).

    Chart 8 (page 3) shows how that played out forthe October analysis. We do indeed getanother wave down, followed by the expectedconsolidation lift one expects after thecompletion of EW's 5th wave.

    The pattern starts to become more apparent,allowing us to make predictions of what ourfuture moves will be. It become obvious whereto be looking for the next pivots.

    EW counts are dynamic and must be re-evaluated as the market dictates. Below youcan see how our count changed slightly, butstill provided and provides, accuratepredictions. The overall waves still play out asthey are expected to, in hindsight however,modifications for scale or rule violations allowyou to keep the EW count on track for the nextfew foreseeable waves to come.

    Counts modified slightly in chart 8, still oncourse and provided / provides accurate

    predictions. Waves 4 & 5 have been adjustedfrom chart 7 to waves A & B.

    Chart 8 shows that even though we havemodified the count a little, we still providedaccurate warnings for the end of a significanttrend, the pivot location and lift for the nextwave. Chart 8 is also clearly showing where

    that wave is expected to terminate and whereto be looking for the next pivot.

    Up until this point, all of our analysis hasbeen provided for free in our Beta Issues on amonth to month basis.

    November started our subscription plan andalso added an exciting new service. As well asthe regular analysis that you have seen hereso far being provided in our monthlypublication, we added inter-issue Updates &Alerts. These allow us to offer a more fluidand stable on-going analysis with twice aweek updates and alerts as needed.

    November's analysis refreshed our location inthe rounded top and what to expect for thenext moves.

    We also provided an update to our patternand targets from chart 8. See chart 10 (page4). Our expected target and pivot area come inas predicted.

    NOVEMBER - PATTERN UPDATE

    November Analytics (cont.)

    (chart 10)

    Updated from chart 8, chart 10 above showswe had it right.

    Our first ever Update & Alert issued on Nov16th took a look at the pattern forming off thetop resistance (c, 4) and predicted the movedown, prior to chart 10's publication.

    As expected, we get a nice down move fromhere. The triangle is broken as well as the 50DMA trigger from chart 10.

    On the evening of Sunday November 27, priorto Mondays open, we issued an alert (chart12) that warned of the coming pivot. In chart

    12 you can see the down that occurred ascalled in our alert from Nov 16th (chart 11above) as well as the rational for our call onthe next pivot. We issued this as an alert, asour analysis gave us indications that theoverall pattern may not be entirely as we had

    (chart 11)

    (chart 11)

    Predicting a down move to come

    first thought, and was going to fall short of thelower support marked in chart 10, connectingwave 3 and the last low. Or rather, we are goingto have some bounce and play before we getthere.

    Our December 6th Update had us revising theEW count once again, as well as warning ofanother pivot close at hand.

    The wave labeled wave 4 in charts 10 & 12, hasbecome a wave A in chart 13. Our previousalert was right on target and formed wave B.Our Update here warns of a pending pivot tocomplete wave C. This pattern had beenidentified from our last alert and we had beenwatching it unfold, on queue, all week.

    December Analytics (cont.)

    Chart 14: From our December 8th update,analyzing the pivot. Our hourly chartsuggested triggers that were confirmed asthis pattern played out and we ended up withanother correct call. Note the predicted movesdotted in red - outcome seen in the blueshaded area in the next chart (chart 15).

    Our call to continue on down towards ourpivot area, from the Dec 15th Update. The

    blue shaded area reflects the move called inour Dec 8th Update channels set up thetrend continued move down towrds "D" ispredicted.

    SPX Hourly - Dec 22nd Update

    We issued an alert on the 20th (not shown) asour predicted move from the 15th played outand we neared our potential pivot area.

    The trend actually ends up coming short on

    our predicted pivot area, by 2 points, butconfirms "D" with a trigger by breaking out ofthe Blue channel.

    Our update on the 22nd also tried to explainwhat was occurring, why and what to expectnext, using the diagram below.

    We are in a contracting wave. This will nothave a clear end but will 'mix in' with the nextwave, which is expanding. Where the one isfading away the other is just beginning, in thesame space. This can cause wild volatilityand make trading more difficult. When the

    waves are clearly expanding, then you knowwe have moved on to the next wave. Anexpansion of the waves in the next significantmove is to be expected.

    Chart 18 is from our last update of the year,Dec.29th. We can see some play in the'overthrow' zone before heading back down,pivot called again... or at least the end of E.

    WHAT'S NEXT?

    By this chart it seems almost

    obvious what is going on and

    where we are headed? Some may

    question how we know that we

    won't get a lift from here on out

    that breaks through the

    downward channel?

    A look at our Global Economic

    situation is the answer. The only

    lifts that are occurring, and will

    occur, are artificially created by

    the injection of cash. This will

    provide further volatility and may

    even push up another wave to the

    top trend line. However there

    have not been any solutions that

    are 'game changers' to cause ashift in the overall trend.

    ROUNDED TOP

    As explained on page 5 of this report, diagram 1, we are expecting more volatility, and expandingwaves going in to a downward trend for the New Year.
