Diagonal and Range-Bound Correction

In order to comply with degree labeling, the only downward wave count is that of a diagonal as shown in the ES 30-min chart, below.

ES Futures - 30 Min - Diagonal & Correction

Wave v is lower than iii, wave iii is lower than i, wave iv overlaps wave i and is shorter than wave ii. The kicker once again is that wave ii is the largest retracement wave on the board.

Following the diagonal there is a range-bound correction within the 62% retracement. It may or may not be over. The last wave up is very, very choppy so the 2,765 level needs to be watched closely.

Have an excellent start to the evening.

  1. So this range bound correction wave is wave 2 in an overall upward trend?

  2. I now believe with the higher high tonight - resulting from releasing the phases of re-opening the economy, it is best to conclude that the entire move up in the wedge is "five-waves-up" with a triangle in the fourth position. See chart below.

    2. An extended 1st wave I assume.

    5. In reviewing the new count, i have a problem with the internals of wave (iii). In what appears to be wave ((iii)), its internal wave iii is the shortest. Back on April 8, this wave was counted as an ABC. What adjustment to the internal count of this wave makes this work?

    6. @marc: I don't think the ending diagonal can appear in a b wave. So if that's truly what it is, this would speak for a wave 1 up like GreyWaver said.
      @Tom: I agree with your thoughts there. I'm not able to count that properly either.

    7. @Tom E. fifth wave extension in the third wave.

    8. @Tom E. this would be the count on the third wave, as best I can tell, with the fifth wave extension in the third.

  4. Could be an Endling Diagonal forming last 3 days in the S&P 500 cash market perhaps...?

  5. Would this still be a valid option with an expanding diagonal as the 5?

    This would match 123abc's count in the cash S&P.

    1. Probably not because then the zigzags in both two & four of the diagonal are truncated. That would be exceptionally rare, and lower the odds. Not impossible, but just very, very, rare.

  6. Hourly cash has also just eeked out it's new high. This is all that is required, but it could go higher if it subdivides.
