Andre Gratian
Expert Market Analyst & Founder of Market Turning Points
When Andre Gratian was a stock broker years ago, a friend introduced him to technical analysis of the market. Consequently, it is not an exaggeration to say that Andre fell in love with this approach! Ever since then, it has become an increasingly important part of his professional life. Gratian has studied the works of Wyckoff, Edwards & Magee, Edward J. Dewey (cycles) and many others. However, one of my most profitable undertaking has probably been to study Point & Figure charting, which he finds invaluable in analyzing stocks and indices. If he were restricted to one methodology, this is the one that he would choose. This well-rounded background has given him what he feels to be a special insight into the stock market, facilitating the recognition of meaningful patterns and the ‘turning points’ in all trends, whether they be short or long term. Andre feels very comfortable discussing the stock market and passing on meaningful information to others. His subscribers include individuals and money managers throughout the world. Moreover, his Newsletters are currently published on several financial sites, here and abroad.

Ever since it made its all-time high of 3028 on 7/21, SPX has been trading in a 200-point range which could either be a consolidation pattern, or the building of an intermediate top formation. The same can be said of IWM, although the...
After a plunge of 137 points to 2856 early in the week, SPX staged a strong two-day rally back to 2952 to end the week with a minor loss instead of something much larger, had the 40-week cycle continued to push prices lower. The question...
On Friday, with daily SRSI and the A-D indicator already in the red, the daily CCI dipped into the red. That makes it unanimous and tips the market trend from neutral to negative. It is not something that should be ignored! In the past...
Last week, the market action came just short of confirming an important top in SPX. On 9/12, the index made a new rally-high of 3021, seven points shy of the 3028 top of 7/26. There was some cautious selling going into the FOMC meeting...
Last week was the first time since the beginning of the rally from SPX 2835 that indicators displayed negative divergence at hourly, daily and weekly levels simultaneously. This is a serious warning that the significant correction that I...
News that trade talks are set to resume in October (this time for real) drove the SPX to 2885, breaking above the previous consolidation highs by about 40 points. This move, which was anticipated as possible by some EWT analysts, does not...
In my last letter I mentioned that I expected the market to turn down before it had another 100-point rally because the 40-week cycle, which is in its final phase, will start to put pressure on prices. However, as of Friday, the SPX rose...
