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.

Greece continues to dominate the market action. What happens this weekend could shed a little more light on the future short-term trend.
While the short-term will be affected by today’s Greek referendum, unless SPX and other indices show some real strength if they continue to rally, more downward pressure appears to be in the cards and could last until October.
News which has dramatically altered the Greek situation and is expected to have an immediate impact on the worlds’ markets came out after the close on Friday. If nothing has changed by Monday morning, a sharply lower opening is expected...
In the past two weeks, SPX ended its decline from 2135, made a double-bottom and started a rally. The near-term trend is bound to be affected by what comes out of a last effort at resolving the Greece crisis on Monday. Since so much is...
In the previous article, I noted that the SPX could have made an important top at 2134.72. Last week’s action has done nothing to disprove this view, but neither did it confirm it. Most indices appear to be waiting for a catalyst which...
“All eyes should be focused on next week’s market action, starting with Monday’s opening!” Although it did not decline last week but registered a new high instead, SPX did not make much upside progress either. In fact, its price pattern...
A technical analyst is continually looking for warnings of a change in market trend – on any time frame! Warning signs that an important change in trend was coming started to appear several weeks ago, and they have become more numerous...
One of the most interesting guesstimates about what the SPX is doing is that it is in the process of completing a diagonal triangle. If correct, next week should mark the pattern’s completion, followed by a substantial correction which...
The technical condition of the SPX500 strongly suggests that it is ready to start a correction of intermediate proportion. A decisive price decline below 2073 would be the first inkling that this is taking place, especially if it is...
Last week, SPX tried to make a new high but was restricted by heavy resistance to only fractional gains which immediately attracted sellers. The daily and hourly indicators make it questionable that it will succeed in going much higher in...
