100 Years of U.S. Equity Cycles: Are We Facing a Generational Turning Point? The secular super-cycle wave (III) has been building since the absolute ashes of the 1929 market crash. Today, the S&P 500 is fast approaching the terminal completion of Cycle-degree Wave V . Price has recently pushed above the critical multi-decade upper channel line connecting the 1929 and 2000 Dot-Com peaks. Consensus calls this the birth of a new, endless bull run. But Elliott Wave principles warn of a far different outcome: The Classic Channel Throwover. If history and structural guidelines hold: · A sharp reversal back inside the channel is imminent. · A prolonged, multi-year Wave (IV) correction will follow. · The silver lining? A massive 50-year Wave (V) generational buying opportunity awaits on the other side. "Every great cycle must come to an end."
