The preponderance of the evidence certainly points to a final peak in equity prices. What follows should be the most severe deflationary stock market crash in U.S. History. The previous post outlined the mot likely count, that Cycle Wave V peaked February 2025 on the S&P500 stock index. While the market exceeded the price targets suggested by the ratios presented in that post, it only did so by less than 2.5%, a very brief overshoot of my price targets given the multi-decade bull market that is peaking now.
Below I show an alternate count, that brings back the idea of the move from March 2009 being nothing but a large scale bear market rally, the position that was held on this blog since it's inception in 2009. However, given the scale of the rally, it would be reasonable to conclude this was Supercycle Wave (b). What would follow is Supercycle Wave (c) down that would complete the bear market. Supercycle Wave (c) would take the market well below the 2009 lows, and likely down to the 1974/1982 lows or lower.
Supporting this count is the fact that the SPX Priced in real money, Gold, has been in a bear market since 2000, when stock market actually peaked. The rally since 2009 has been driven by Central Bank Liquidity and optimistic investors bidding up asset prices. Now that wave structure, and thus the trend in Social Mood, has shifted from up to down dramatically, nominal asset prices should reprice to reflect the Gold denominated price of equities, the true value of U.S. Corporations.
Note that if this count is correct, wave (b) would equal a Fibonacci 6.18 times the length of wave (a). This is not a coincidence. It is the Golden Ratio, Nature's Mathematical Manifestation, at work.
