Surf City

Surf City is a pseudonym for a 60-year-old retired Information Technology Executive and Software start-up Entrepreneur living near the beach in California.   He has been an active investor and trader since the mid-1980s. Analytical by nature, his sound investments over the years allowed him to retire at a relatively early age of 55. In addition to the standard Technical Analysis tools of Edwards and Magee, Surf is a disciple of Walter Bressert’s Cycle Methodology and Stan Weinstein’s Stage 4 Market analysis.  Surf combines these skills to develop his unique “Cycle Price Channels.” Some call them “Surf’s ForkCycles.

My gut tells me that copper will likely test the $3 level before its 5-6 month Intermediate cycle tops out. The daily RSI is in the nosebleed section, however, as we are approaching the 3 month mark in its current uptrend.

Nearer term,...
Cycle Status/Outlook: Long-term I believe the USD found a 15-Year Super Cycle top in early 2015.  To confirm this we need to see the USD find a Yearly Cycle Low soon and bounce high enough to break the YC down trend line on my first...
USD Cycle Status/Outlook: Short term is a bit cloudy but my preferred count is day 10.  Longer term, it is clear that the USD is still seeking out its Yearly Cycle Low (YCL).   If my last ICL is correct, we are now nearing...
I thought I would start off this weekend by recapping one of the most important aspects of Walter Bressert’s Cycle Theory.  Very simply put, it is that Longer Cycles almost always dominate the shorter Cycles.  This is Huge...
This Update will provide both a near-term and long-term updates on the USD…and where I think it stands in its short and long-term cycles. My first two charts are the same near term daily chart. The first provides my cycle counts for the...
