Andre Gratian
Expert Market Analyst & Founder of Market Turning Points
When Andre Gratian was a stock broker years ago, a friend introduced him to technical analysis of the market. Consequently, it is not an exaggeration to say that Andre fell in love with this approach! Ever since then, it has become an increasingly important part of his professional life. Gratian has studied the works of Wyckoff, Edwards & Magee, Edward J. Dewey (cycles) and many others. However, one of my most profitable undertaking has probably been to study Point & Figure charting, which he finds invaluable in analyzing stocks and indices. If he were restricted to one methodology, this is the one that he would choose. This well-rounded background has given him what he feels to be a special insight into the stock market, facilitating the recognition of meaningful patterns and the ‘turning points’ in all trends, whether they be short or long term. Andre feels very comfortable discussing the stock market and passing on meaningful information to others. His subscribers include individuals and money managers throughout the world. Moreover, his Newsletters are currently published on several financial sites, here and abroad.

After a substantial and precipitous price drop of 450 points during the past two weeks, SPX has finally found a bottom and is rallying over the short-term. In keeping with the current volatile market nature it has already rallied 173...
When the market began a serious correction in October, it looked as if it were starting what could turn out to be a “bear market”. This became more evident as time progressed and the downtrend deepened. It is normal for the stock market...
Market technicians who follow IWM are aware of its propensity for reversing its trend ahead of SPX and DJIA. This was particularly obvious at the last market top when IWM printed its final high price on 8/31, while SPX did so on 9/21, and...
This market has been a real bear, lately! (Forgive the pun, but is it really one?) While we do not have absolute confirmation that we have started a bear market -- and won’t until we begin to decline in earnest below 2604 -- all the...
Longer-term, SPX is most likely tracing out an important top before it starts (resumes) a correction taking it significantly lower. Only long-term investors will debate what lies ahead, but even at best, the anticipated decline could...
Last week, SPX declined over 100 points to a new closing low and is ready to challenge its intra-day low of 2604. DJIA matched it with a loss of 1127 points for the week. But NDX was the worst performer, dropping 340 points for a new...
