Hi David. A couple of people who use cycle analysis and other tools note how they see the s+p holding strong to roughly summer 2024 or into 2025 after which there will be a massive selloff ( much more than 30%). Does your analysis show a massive drop in the stock markets starting in summer 2024, or perhaps in 2025, or is not possible to predict so far out using Hurst analysis? Thanks for your thoughts.

Hey Leopold, it is possible to detect and extrapolate any periodic signal using the signal processing tools we have (with a good deal of precision), given enough data points. They are likely referring to the component around 3.5 years wavelength, that is the dominant longer term signal in stockmarkets. Likely troughed in late 2022, with a peak of the cycle early 2025. That does not necessarily mean a price peak will occur at the same time...

It is interesting to see the phase of these longer but largely academic periodic components for sure.

I have posted time frequency charts on a twitter post below for US markets and this component, I hope that is helpful: https://twitter.com/TradingHurst/status/1681396205132079105

Hi david would appreciate if you could look at Indian Markets. Indicies like, NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY

Indian Forex pair, we only have four, USDINR, EURINR, JPYINR,GBPINR

I would also like to add more stocks here but I dont wanna crowd it up in here. Perhaps a few bluechips?

Although we can't get the full data for a composite, a scan of USDINR reveals an excellent component circa 75 days:

Thanks Arun, will take a look. If we can get data for those forex pairs I will publish a composite to examine the underlying periodic structure (if any!).

Hello David, thank you for the opportunity for suggesting, in my case I trade on eToro and will love more FX coverage for a swing trading strategy looking for 3-10 days acceleration processes. I would say that the 20 day nominal cycle is the one I trade. I cover 25 major Fx but I suppose it is a high load of work so beginning with major one could be great!! Thank you so much, José

Hey Jose, absolutely a pleasure. Whilst we cover major FX pairs around the 80 day 'nominal' component I have yet to post much shorter term. I will possibly take a look at the major $ pairs for anything significant today.

In the meantime below are some of the most recent posts covering forex pairs (as composites):

EUR: https://www.sigma-l.net/p/eur-composite-30th-may-2023-139-day-cycle

Individual highlights can also be found, such as the wonderful USDCAD:

David, one more if you don't mind shorter and longer term. The lumber ETF WOOD ( global timber and forestry etf) on US exchange (Nasdaq). I am wondering if it is time to go long lumber stocks -Thanks.

Hi, can you please consider the base metal nickel , roughly 78 days and 148 days if possible. I am interested in nickel mining stocks but I can only find one nickel miner ETF in the US but it only started in 2023.

Thanks.

As you say Leopold, there is not much data or instruments to garner here for purely nickel. However, exposure to nickel (and other base metals) is possible through some of the mining ETFs, most notably PICK and XME. Both of which feature a superb periodic component around 78 days.

Thanks for that, David.

Looks like your GDX trough call came in pretty much right on que, hopefully we get some nice upside now in gold ( and silver) miners.

HI Dave - perhaps you can look at the Aussie Market ( XJO ) is the Aussie 200 index

Alternatively perhaps a commodity like Wheat which I think is making a lasting low?

Thanks x

Hi David. I would like to share these tickers I found having very interesting cyclic behavior: TENCENT (HKEX, this one has a rich spectrum, ~300 days seem to be most prominent), BABA(NYSE), NIO(NYSE), MEITUAN(HKEX, mainly ~120 days), BILI(NASDAQ, mainly ~120 days), PEP(NYSE), 600519(SSE), 300750(SZSE)
