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.

The short-term correction which had been predicted in the last newsletter occurred right on cue, but failed to reach 3035 which would have been a .382 retracement of the uptrend from 2856. This suggests that that trend has not yet...
The bull market which started in 03/09 shows no sign of having run its course. A rough count taken on the long-term Point & Figure chart gives us a potential target of 3680+. A few weeks ago, it was not clear if structurally, SPX...
For the past three weeks SPX has been grinding higher, seemingly glued to the exterior of the lower line of the blue channel which started at the 2346 low. That channel line has served as a strong resistance line and, sooner or later,...
Until Thursday’s close, the price action looked toppy! For the past week, prices had traded in a narrow range and negative divergence had appeared at the daily and hourly level, and the fear & greed index has been at “extreme greed”...
The best guesstimate is that SPX is in the process of creating an intermediate top, probably the B-wave of wave-4 of the bull market. The only thing that would disprove this view is if market strength continued with IWM beginning to take...
In spite of some additional short-term strength to a new all-time high which is primarily driven by strength in the NDX, SPX is most likely putting the final touch on a large intermediate top.
SPX pushed a little higher last week, breaching the recent high of 9/15 by a tad, and challenging the all-time high of 3028 which is likely to be surpassed before this move is over. This “exuberance” does not come as a surprise, since it...
SPX traded in a less than 50-point range last week, continuing what appears to be the formation of an intermediate distribution top which could bring a sizeable correction when complete. IWM, which has done a good job of acting as a...
Ever since it made its all-time high of 3028 on 7/21, SPX has been trading in a 200-point range which could either be a consolidation pattern, or the building of an intermediate top formation. The same can be said of IWM, although the...
After a plunge of 137 points to 2856 early in the week, SPX staged a strong two-day rally back to 2952 to end the week with a minor loss instead of something much larger, had the 40-week cycle continued to push prices lower. The question...
