The Panic Cycle next week might mean exceeding Friday's high during the week but closing lower, leaving the week of the 21st with the highest close. The 25100 was not tested and might even test during next week. But, I don't know. What does seem to be forecasted, however, is no change in downtrend. Trading cautiously for now, if at all.
Just checking up on Armstrong's recent history. I checked QQQ/SPY/DIA for the week from Jan 28 to Feb1 versus the prior week. Based on your post, Armstrong said that that week is a PANIC CYCLE, which based on my understanding of Armstrong in the last two decades, it should have meant an Outside week at the minimum (meaning exceeding both low/high from prior time interval).
That did NOT happen. In fact, the best description for that week would be just trending up.
That is NOT anywhere close to a PANIC CYCLE.
And again, the only folks who will be stuck to the trading losses are the subscribers and never Armstrong. Does he actually go BACK to look at his own words or words from AI(?) and check and see if that was anywhere close to accurate???
He HIMSELF said that the fractal structure of the market repeats from year, month, week, day, and down to seconds. So if he/his AI canNOT get the week right, how can he get the month/year right? (Especially given that he cannot tell the difference between 8.6 vs 8.615, etc.)
It is my personal opinion that he does have some automated technical analysis software which doesn't really work. The way he maintains his "track record" is just by continuously throwing darts at the board, and hope that one of them hits the bulls eye. And of course, by simply throwing enough darts (and for higher probability outcome), he surely will and have hit big calls. BUT you canNOT trade off from such.
It's like ahead of the time, you can NEVER figure out which active mutual fund manager will give you an out-sized return, and you choose him to invest all of your money. In hindsight, yes. So it's the same with ALL of Armstrong calls. In hindsight, yes, he made AMAZING calls. BUT how are you going to tell BEFOREHAND, which calls are going to let you earn big profits???
Armstrong is only counting all of the winning calls, but for an actual trader/investor, he or she will most likely be counting all of the losses instead together with the winning calls.
And therefore personally I will never subscribe to any stock newsletters that don't even dare to put up the trading record based on their own analysis in the newsletters.
Talk is cheap. Profits are hard to come by.
