Both Potential Triangles Still Intact - 3

Market Outlook: Now Getting Higher Volatility
Market Indexes: Major U.S. Equity Indexes closed mixed
SPX Candle: Higher High, Higher Low, Higher Close -  Trend Candle
FED Posture: Quantitative Tightening (QT)

Today was a higher high day, then a narrow range day. The higher high was the "minimum requirement" for counting 'five waves up' - likely to a first wave of the minuet  (c) wave of minute ((d)). Here is the daily chart.


S&P500 Cash - Daily Chart - Likely Triangle

One caution we might provide is that due to the narrowness of today's range late in the day, we may still be the fourth sub-wave of the first wave up. Here is what I mean using the ES E-Mini S&P500 Index Futures as an example.

Today's higher high is to the left. Like the larger potential triangle, this potential sub-wave triangle can expand and contract a bit, if it likes, as well. Therefore, the labeling is tentative. But, if a triangle does form properly, followed by another higher high, then most likely the first sub-minuet wave up would be complete at that point, and one might look for the sub-minuet second wave downward.

If a triangle doesn't hold, then look for a potential flat wave.

That's it for tonight. Have a very good start to your weekend.

  1. Hi Joe,
    Was just wondering with all of the chopping around if the likelihood of the EWI count vs Int 4 has changed at all?

    1. Really depends on if brown (a) is exceeded higher, as EWI has that as a Minor wave 2, in a double zigzag.
