Nitpicky correction @ 42m 11sec of this video Peter missed the one other under 20% bearish reading in the spreadsheet that he was reviewing. Line 1773 in spreadsheet, date 6-3-21, % bearish = 19.76 percent. The point is the same, that there are too few bears right now, which may be an earmark of a short-term top.

If you go to the Web App, and adjust the date sliders at the bottom of the screen to focus on the Feb '20 to Apr '20 "COVID Crash", you'll see that both the weekly @ES and @YM gave reliable downside cycle projections accurately forecasting the reversal of the crash back to the upside. However, the same weekly @NQ continued to give further downside projections that ultimately proved to be unreliable. This same weakness in the cycle projections can also be seen in the Web App for the QQQ, as compared to the SPY. Bottom Line: You have to beware of what appears to be a systematic weakness of the cycle projection technique, as it relates to the NASDAQ only. To use engineering parlance, "the gain is too high" with NASDAQ on large downmoves, resulting in a false downside continuation signal, when both the S&P500 or DJIA are indicating the bottom is in.

In this video, Peter tells us (15m 05sec) one primary reason why he has remained bearish over the last year, is the nominal 4-year cycle projections on NASDAQ. I don't personally use the cycle projection software on TradeStation -- as Peter does in the video -- so I'm unable to verify whether the analysis that he's described here on the NASDAQ Composite also gave false downside continuation signals back in the Feb '20 to Apr '20 timeframe. I would suspect that this is true, without actually being able to validate, myself. If there is someone that CAN validate whether or not this is true / false, using the cycle projection software on TradeStation, this might be helpful to all of us.

As others here have stated "situational awareness" is a valuable skill in trading. Being "situationally aware" of the strengths and weaknesses of the analytical tools that you're using to make trading decisions, is a good example of this. In this case, we all have to decide for ourselves what information we use, and what information we discard, based on one's own "situational awareness".

The March 12, 2003 low was 5195 Trading days from the August 12, 1982 Dow low and 5198 from the Aug 9 S&P low. Friday was 5218 from the March 2003 low, just FYI. This incoporates all days the NYSE was closed.

kwm: Interesting cycle you've picked up on, here. If Friday's high was 5218 days from the March 2003 low, then is it also true that the recent Oct 27/23 low was 5194 days from the March 2003 low?
