Here is another chart: 2004 Pull back. Weekly 60 MA was the pull back target then, and 20 MA was very close to 60 MA in October 2004, which is probably a good point to long in 2004 (August 2004 was lower, but it was risky to long there. October confirmed the low in August 2004, so it was better).
This is a discussion note. Don't take my words for it. YMYD. I just want to share some of my thoughts and learn from others.
Some of the 野鸡 FA behind this pull back estimate:
(1) Many analysts expect good Q1 and Q2. So can the market turn to the south now like last year? I seriously doubt it. So Market probably will not go south without stop. It's normal pull back.
(2) Q3 and Q4 are uncertain. Last year's bull market was propelled by goverment efforts and short of inventory. Now what will happen after the inventory is filled and goverments start to think about stopping the stimulus package.
(3) US mid-term election is also an factor. I didn't study the effect of mid-term election on stock market. Perhaps someone can help.
With these, I think the first half this year is going to be a choppy market. We will see a clearer picture at the second half of this year.
