DP chart on 9-month cycle

decisionpoint.com

He used the end of February low as the start of the 9-month
cycle. I think it should have been the May 24 low. All
three indices, Dow, SPX, and OTC, bottomed at the same time.
Plus it came approximately 9 months after the August 99 lows
which came about 12 months after the August-October 98 lows.
The first three months of the 9-month cycle should be
bullish. So, I think all three reasons point to May being
the base point for this cycle. I've labelled the start date
for each change in tendency of the cycle and what the
following 3 1/3 weeks tend to perform according to each
cycle. Yellow can be construed neutral-bullish when you're
in a bull market, and neutral-bearish when you're in a bear
market.

There's also an interesting two-month cycle on the QQQ that
troughs the second week of December as well. A couple of
AIQ proprietary oscillators (TCI and SK-SD) have been
consistently bottoming out about every 45 market days, and
topping out about in the middle most of this year so that
up and down months seem to alternate for the Nasdaq. They're
still in downtrend but appear to be slowing down.
