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.

Lately, the market trend has been reduced to a grinding move to new highs – or is it really “the market”? Inspired by a new high in the Nasdaq 100, SPX made a new high this past week! But the Dow did not! And the NYSE composite – the...
“Enough congestion was produced at last week’s low to take the index up to about 2995-3000.” On Tuesday, SPX surged to a new all-time high of 2995.84 and closed at 2995.82, meeting the projection target set for this move. On Friday,...
The short-term top anticipated in the last newsletter did not disappoint and SPX retraced fifty-two points, assisted by the minor cycle which was due to make its low last week, and arrived on Wednesday. It is important to note that a...
“If it does move higher from here, there has been enough congestion created over the past few days for it reach between 2930 and 2950 while, during that time, remaining below the two resistance lines.”
As anticipated, SPX (and the market in general) gapped open and pushed higher to 2994 last Monday, and closed at 2886. It gapped even higher to 2910 on Tuesday morning but started to retrace immediately, and closed near its low of the day...
“Friday’s price action showed some reluctance to move lower aggressively, and this resulted in some minor positive divergence developing in the hourly as well as the daily chart. The price pattern that we are making suggests that the...
Last week, I discussed simple criteria to determine if the market had shifted to an intermediate trend, and concluded that only IWM fitted the bill at that time! This week, all four indexes have now crossed and closed below their 50-wk MAs.
There is a strong probability that the counter-trend rally which started at 2346 on 12/26/18 came to an end at 2954 on 5/01/19. I say “probable” because the weekly indicators, which are the best gauge of intermediate market trends, have...

SPX: Long-term trend – Final long-term phase on the way? How much longer, is the question.
Intermediate trend – The anticipated intermediate-term correction has started. Can’t tell yet if it’s a C-wave or...
Two weeks ago, I passed on a warning from Erik Hadik (Insiide Track) that he saw the same cluster of cycles that brought about a rapid and significant market decline coming into play again and forming the same ominous peaking pattern. In...
