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.

Most minor cycles scheduled to make their lows in this time frame have probably done so, but SPX has not yet shown a clear sign of wanting to resume its uptrend. If we cannot find buyers early next week, the correction is likely to be...
By moving above 3430 -- thereby overcoming an important resistance band which started at 3330 -- SPX has shown that it is no longer susceptible to a .382 retracement of the move from 2192. It is, however, susceptible to a minor correction...
SPX is likely about halfway through its correction and in a temporary uptrend which may already be over if it loses too much ground over the next couple of days -- even though cycles appear to be favorable to an extension of the mid-course...
SPX has found a short-term low after completing an a-b-c pattern and has started a countertrend rally. This is not yet an attempt at resuming the long-term uptrend, and a deeper correction is expected before this occurs. But there has...
SPX is still essentially basing until it gets above 3380. During this process, it must remain above 3330, or something else (to be determined) is taking place.
SPX is close to finding a low for this phase of the correction and this could happen next week. It is not clear at this time if this will be a resumption of the uptrend, or if more short-term downtrend lies ahead. The original thinking...
Last week SPX experienced a sharp decline which many analysts considered overdue, followed by a sharp retracement and another pullback into Friday’s close. It has been a while since the index has experienced this kind of volatility. It...
SPX has held steadily above its 60m chart trend line ever since it started its uptrend from 3350. DJIA and QQQ have held above similar trend lines as well. It stands to reason that a break of these trend lines would start corrections in...
Signs that SPX is ready to correct are increasing. The first cycle to make its low could only take it down 45 points before it rebounded to a fractional new all-time high of 3399.96. The next cycle is ready to trigger the next correction...
SPX is on the verge of a correction for the reasons given above. Afterwards, it should be ready to make another all-time high, perhaps by a good margin. At least, this is what various methodologies suggest. Primary among these is the...
