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.
