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.

On Thursday of last week SPX was down 62 points. On Friday it was up 84. This market is not for the faint-hearted! Daily moves of 700 points or more are becoming common place for the DJIA. But you might as well get used to it because...
After a substantial and precipitous price drop of 450 points during the past two weeks, SPX has finally found a bottom and is rallying over the short-term. In keeping with the current volatile market nature it has already rallied 173...

Market technicians who follow IWM are aware of its propensity for reversing its trend ahead of SPX and DJIA. This was particularly obvious at the last market top when IWM printed its final high price on 8/31, while SPX did so on 9/21, and...
This market has been a real bear, lately! (Forgive the pun, but is it really one?) While we do not have absolute confirmation that we have started a bear market -- and won’t until we begin to decline in earnest below 2604 -- all the...
Longer-term, SPX is most likely tracing out an important top before it starts (resumes) a correction taking it significantly lower. Only long-term investors will debate what lies ahead, but even at best, the anticipated decline could...
Last week, SPX declined over 100 points to a new closing low and is ready to challenge its intra-day low of 2604. DJIA matched it with a loss of 1127 points for the week. But NDX was the worst performer, dropping 340 points for a new...
Since it made a low at 2604 on 10/29, SPX has been rallying in a choppy, volatile uptrend which should continue for a while longer before the primary trend resumes. This is made even more likely because we are entering a seasonally...
The rally from 2604 is deemed to be a countertrend rally, or a secondary reaction to the primary trend which is now down. As of a week ago Friday, the countertrend had rallied to 2750 and was in the process of pulling back before moving...
“…it is becoming increasingly likely that the initial low of the bear market will occur at about 2600.” That forecast published in last week’s letter turned out to be correct, as SPX made a climactic low at 2604 and immediately rallied 70...
