To explain Williams’ analysis, he first looks at the chart of S&P 500 futures, in black. The chart also features what Williams calls a true seasonal pattern, in blue.
The pattern is based on historical action at any given time of year, and Williams notes that markets tend to bottom in mid to late October and then lead to a “strong” rally. Cramer said.
Then he looked at the chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average with the same true seasonal pattern.
The Dow also happened to have a double bottom, followed by a rally around the same time as the S&P 500, meaning there would be a big buying opportunity, he said.
