Market Crash Alert: Evening Star Predicts Prolonged Bearish Storm Ahead

The Evening Star pattern, inspired by Japanese folklore, symbolises the end of a bullish phase, much like the setting sun. In financial markets, it’s a strong bearish indicator. Recently, this pattern appeared in multiple indices, including the Nifty Private Bank Index, suggesting a prolonged bearish phase lasting at least four quarters. Additionally, the Engulfing Bear pattern has emerged in frontline indices like the Nifty, further confirming the bearish trend.

Market bounces in early January failed to break the pattern resistance, reinforcing the negative outlook. This failure has shifted market sentiment from bullish to bearish, with expectations of a challenging phase over the next 18-24 months. While some indices might perform relatively better, the overall trend indicates limited positive returns, with most likely to drop less rather than gain.

These patterns highlight absolute trends, and their development across various market segments adds to their reliability. Investors should remain cautious, as the current market weakness suggests a tough period ahead. The Evening Star and Engulfing Bear patterns are actionable signals, urging a strategic review of investment portfolios to navigate the anticipated bearish phase effectively.
