3. Cycle Analysis Suggests S&P 500 Has Topped & Will Decline To Major Low In 2016
While the majority is looking at the Megaphone Pattern correction since the 2000 high and is expecting the market to go back to the lower trend line of this pattern and to make new lows, I think that it will not happen.
