SPX Daily Chart Showing Bradley Turn Dates

The chart above shows the Bradley turns over the last year. Bradley turns forecast where the market has potential to change trend but do not forecast direction. Typically, markets will sell off if rallying into the Bradley or rally if selling off into the Bradley. Sometimes melt-up or melt-down moves occur as well. Allow for a +/- 7 day window before and after the dates where the market move typically occurs closer in to the actual date towards the center of the range. The dates are simply times to be respected requiring heightened attention if trading the markets daily. Reference Donald Bradley, Peter Eliades and Arch Crawford for additional information.

The Bradley turns this year are 12/28/11, 1/11/12, 1/28/12, 2/16/12, 2/22/12, 3/16/12, 4/11/12, 4/23/12, 6/12/12, 7/28/12, 8/14/12, 8/25/12, 9/30/12, 10/9/12, 11/1/12, 11/14/12, 12/22/12 and 1/20/13. The bold dates are major Bradley turns where more important market inflections are anticipated.  Again, like Keystone's Eclipse Indicator, you do not care what a trading tool is based on if it is repeatable and reliable and the chart above shows the track record.  The major turn in July 2011 identified the market top before the waterfall crash. The major March turn this year is in the neighborhood of the top for the year thus far.  The late December major market turn resulted in a continued melt-up move for markets. Thus, here we are, under the affects of the major turn date 6/12/12 thru tomorrow, with this Greece turmoil ongoing and the Fed on tap for Wednesday. Note that the next date is a major turn date as well, 7/28/12, so a window between 7/21/12 and 8/4/12 is important. Two dates follow along in August. Stay on alert into the Fed releases beginning at lunch time Wednesday. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only.  Do not invest based on anything you read or view here.
