The AMT model (Dilernia Model) gives traders an idea
about market dynamics and probable market paths into the
future, it’s about looking into the future to provide and idea
about the present.
Below is a chart of the Australian stock market in 2006 and
now 2007, we can see 15 weeks of sideways trading in 2006 after
it had reached the Primary range highs before the next up move,
and we can see another major consolidation period once again
around the same time after it has reached the primary range highs
in 2007
The 2006 breakout was confirmed with a few weeks of
consolidation above the primary highs, so if this market is going
to kick up into 2008, we need to see higher prices and 6376
becomes a support zone with a confirming break above the
3-month highs.
At this stage the view is more consolidation.
With reporting season just about to kick into gear the
expectation is the market is going to move higher towards the
July-September highs, however when we look at the forward
Quarter from September-December there is a lower top.
I’ve called
it
‘Dilernia-Drops’, because it is forewarning that
there could be a drop just around the corner into the end of
this Quarter. It doesn’t favour higher moves.
We use
the Dilernia Model of looking into the future that might give
a forewarning of the Present.
A ‘Dilernia-Drop’ is for the current Quarter and into
the end of the timeframe, we have seen these ‘drops’
forewarning reversals in the markets in forward monthly
timeframes,with
two monthly Dilernia-Drops this year providing
the timing for the two biggest drops this year, and just this
week in US markets on the weekly timeframe.
It doesn’t mean there is going to be a massive drop, it just
means that the bias is to move lower or sideways into the end
of the quarter before any higher move, but that down move can
happen anytime in this quarter.
How far it moves on the downside or closes in this quarter
should give traders an idea about the strength and market path
of the last 3 months into 2008 and beyond.
DOW….
There is nothing to suggest that there is going to be any
weakness in US markets other than resistance around these
July highs before the extension upwards into August.
ES….
The only drop in US markets was for the current trading week, with
a Dilernia Drop on the weekly timeframe providing the move
back into the 3-week 50% level (weekly support).
If that is the case then the 3-week 50% level should provide
the support levels back towards the highs next week or
a consolidation at least into the end of of July into
August.
At this stage with July highs providing resistance, US markets
look to be in sideways pattern until August, whilst here
in Australia I’d be weary investing around these highs
after reporting season is over and consider it once again at
the start of the next quarter.
