In this update only the date/s will be mentioned with an "H" for high and a "L" for low.
The chart amplitude can and will be misleading at times.
In addition, it is the date/s that is most important rather than if that
date is a projected high or low.
One important reason is because in some cases a date may invert and the "H" or "L" may not mean anything.
A low may actually turn out to be a high and visa versa.
Also it is very important that other tools always be used to confirm any potential ST Cycle Date.
Picasso Dates, always +/-
Aug 4-12 L - low was SPY 8/11
Aug 8/18-23 H - highs were made on 8/16 & 8/22
Aug 30-Sept 7 L - a low was made on 8/29
Sept 13-22 H - a high was made on 9/14
Sept 29-Oct 5 L - a low was made on 9/25 (left translation of this cycle date)
Oct 11-17 H - up into 10/18 and high made on 10/23
Oct 10/24-31L --->Sorry for the late posting of this date - Low on 10/25
Nov 11/6-9H
Comments:
Long term indicators appear positive, so far. Negative divergence on
many indicators were broken very late last year and so they now
suggest further upside. So, if pullbacks
develop into the Picasso cycle date lows and daily indicators
are OverSold, it may present a good buying opportunity.
So far this forecast came to pass. The
August low was accurate.
In addition, the LT cycles suggested a low in August +/-, which we had, &
a high in late November/early December +/-.
Always remember to confirm cycle dates with your indicators and or
your professional investment advisors analysis.
The LT Cycle low suggested for August was
shallow. The DJIA high was 22,179 and the DJIA low was 21,600. This
was a 2.6% correction. Not much, but, it was a correction as forecasted
nevertheless.

RYNVX big change in market cap !
Updates in BLUE - RYNVX market capitalization increased $321Mil from Tuesday Oct 24th to today, Oct 26th.
RYNVX - Rydex Nova Fund Investor Class (Long Fund)
RYNVX - Rydex Nova Fund Investor Class (Long Fund)
RYNVX Oct 24,2017 $92,20Mil & Oct 26,2017 $413.07Mil
$413.07Mil is the largest market capitalization in RYNVX since March 2009.
Note The RYNVX increased $321Mil in two trading days. That is a whopping increase of $321Mil in market
capitalization. This could be interpreted as some were fearful of not
being long in this Nova Fund. Is that fear bearish for the market? It
is
possible that this "could" have come from some stock market newsletter
writer advising their clients to buy.
When this Long Fund has big changes in market
cap in a very short time frame,
not very sure if this will have any influence in the market. We will keep an eye on this and let you know what happens.
Large & small dollar amounts of market cap in the RYNVX long fund displays Greed & Fear in the market...

chart: McClellan Summation
Below are two McClellan Summation (MS) charts as shown by Worden Bros charting service.
The top chart is from 2009-2017. Note that the area highlighted in yellow was enlarged in the lower chart.
Most of the time the MS goes between either -2000 & +2000 or -3000 & +3000. Occasionally it does reach extreme readings of -4000 & +4000.
As you can see in 2009 & in 2016 the MS did go below -4000 and in 2012-2013 it went between -3000 & +3000.
But, starting in 2015 the MS did not get above +500 even while the stock market did trade higher and was making new ATH's.
It is currently at a triple top area at or just under +500.
If the MS cannot get past +500 decisively, then a correction of some sort may be on the horizon.
Also, a chart of stocks above their 200DMA have had lower tops over the last 18 months.
This also confirms the current MS chart.
At the very least, if the MS stalls here as it did the last two times, highlighted in yellow & circled in red in the lower chart, you can see that the market went into a sideways trading pattern,
By Investopedia
The index is calculated by adding the current day's McClellan Oscillator to the previous day's Summation Index, making it a cumulative measure of movements. Given that it is based on past prices, it is a lagging indicator.
Usually, a small number of stocks making large gains characterizes a weakening bull market. This gives the perception that the overall market is healthy, but in reality it isn't, as rising prices are being driven by a small number of stocks. Conversely, when a bear market is still declining, but a smaller amount of stocks are declining, an end to the bear market may be near. The McClellan Oscillator — which the Summation index is based on — is calculated using 19- and 39-day exponential moving averages, which avoids applying large gains and declines of a few stocks to the whole market, thus it indicates the trend itself, as well as the strength of it.

Interpretation
(By StockCharts.com Chart School)
The Summation Index rises when the McClellan Oscillator is positive and falls when the McClellan Oscillator is negative. Extended positive numbers in the McClellan Oscillator cause the Summation Index to trend higher. Conversely, extended negative readings cause the Summation Index to trend lower.
Because of its cumulative nature, the Summation Index is a slower version of the McClellan Oscillator. The index crosses the zero line fewer times, forms divergences less often and produces fewer signals in general. Whereas the McClellan Oscillator can be used for short-term and medium-term timing, the Summation Index is generally used for medium-term and long-term timing.
There are three basic signals. First, the Summation Index generally favors the bulls when positive and the bears when negative. Second, chartists can look for bullish and bearish divergences to anticipate reversals. Third, chartists can identify directional movement to define a bullish or bearish bias.

Are We There Yet?
On March 29,2017 we discussed the Zweig Breadth Thrust. A copy of that post is below. The interesting part of that post is when you look at the DJIA projection. If you apply the average gain of the ZBT to the low at Nov 2016 you hit a forecast of 22,500 11 months later in Oct 2017. That is about where we are right now. That forecast when applied to the S&P500 is 2,625 and we are not at that point yet. But, we are not too far away. Maybe if we take an average of the DJIA and the S&P500 we will get a better forecast. In any event, between the ZBT and the Long Term Picasso Cycles forecast of a potential November 2017 high, the caution light is on to watch your charts carefully for any intermediate term sell signals on the weekly and monthly charts.
The last ZBT that we noted, occurred starting Nov 8,2016.
If we apply the the average gain of 24.6% to the average length of 11 months we get:
DJIA Nov. 2016 18,000 --->22,500 forecast 11 months later in Oct.2017
S&P500 Nov. 2016 2,100 ---> 2.625 forecast 11 months later in Oct.2017
Will the stock market possibly continue straight up until Oct, 2017? We doubt it. In fact, the LT Picasso Cycle dates suggest an April high +/-, an August low +/- and then a Nov high +/-. This last high in Nov is very close to the ZBT average forecast high in Oct. 2017.

Zweig Breadth Thrust
The Breadth Thrust indicator is a market momentum
indicator. It was developed by Dr. Martin Zweig. The Breadth Thrust is
calculated by dividing a 10-day exponential moving average of the number
of advancing issues, by the number of advancing plus declining issues.
Interpretation
A
"Breadth Thrust" occurs when, during a 10-day period, the Breadth
Thrust indicator rises from below 40% to above 61.5%. A "Thrust"
indicates that the stock market has rapidly changed from an oversold
condition to one of strength, but has not yet become overbought.
According
to Dr. Zweig, there have only been fourteen Breadth Thrusts since 1945 (as of the date of the original printing of this article ???).
The average gain following these fourteen Thrusts was 24.6% in an
average time-frame of eleven months. Dr. Zweig also points out that most
bull markets begin with a Breadth Thrust.
The last ZBT that we noted, occurred starting Nov 8,2016.
If we apply the the average gain of 24.6% to the average length of 11 months we get:
DJIA Nov. 2016 18,000 --->22,500 forecast 11 months later in Oct.2017
S&P500 Nov. 2016 2,100 ---> 2.625 forecast 11 months later in Oct.2017
Will the stock market possibly continue straight up until Oct, 2017? We doubt it. In fact, the LT Picasso Cycle dates suggest an April high +/-, an August low +/- and then a Nov high +/-. This last high in Nov is very close to the ZBT average forecast high in Oct. 2017.
