Intraday Cash

This is the way I've counted the intraday S&P500 cash market. It is a little too early to tell whether it is a (i) or an (a) wave down.

S&P500 Cash - 5 minute - Intraday

A wave counting stop should be placed at the high, as that is the only formal point of actual invalidation at this time.

I apologize to some extent for putting the comments on moderation only.  Apparently there just some people who don't want to see others succeed, who think they know it all, who aren't interested in learning together, or who are jealous that others can handle the concept of probability or uncertainty and they can't.

Sooner or later when the spam filters catch up with them, perhaps things will get back to normal.

Reasonable comments and questions will still be posted, albeit with a brief delay.

Have a good start to the evening,
TraderJoe

  2. Do you have a monthly or quarterly EW count?

  3. What happened to the count down from assumed c of B on the futures?
    Thanks

    1. Cash (not futures) made a new high, likely invalidating it.

    2. I may have asked it the wrong way. How do you see the count in futures down from yesterday's peak (regardless of how that peak is labeled)? Hopefully that better conveys the question.
      Thanks

  4. Here is the intraday wave counting screen. Because futures got over the previous high in the after-hours, this can be seen as an extension of the Minor B wave, probably so the ES can make an expanded flat.

    Note the Upper Daily Bollinger Band (UDBB) and R2 pivot are quite close. Price is currently over BOTH the intraday and daily 18-period averages.

    1. ..to paraphrase Ira, "one does not buy 'new' positions over the upper daily BB. One might sell to take some (or all) profits. Some can be left to ride. The Smart Money will likely be taking some profits at the upper band, as there is only ~5% chance of being over it." This is not trading or investment advice - just a paraphrase of Ira's guidelines.

    2. P.S. Broker quotes are showing a large gap in the futures, up, on the half-hour chart. Investing.com is not showing anywhere near that gap.

  5. ES now down to intraday 18-period MA, and R1 pivot.

  6. ET, do you have a count from yesterday's low? What I think I am seeing is in 5 of 5 on futures, but 5 of 3 on cash?

    1. Just an extension of the Minor B wave overall, on the 4-hr chart, so far.

    2. Thanks for quick reply. I think it has resolved with a flat 4 in futures to sync with cash. Now looking for wave 5 up this afternoon and decent chance of leaving an island top afterward.

  7. Hi Joe
    I first read your charts on Tonys blog years ago. I don't know how anyone can rely on technicals or waves with the world suppling an endless amount of liquidity..I say buy Gold.
    Thanks for your efforts here and best of luck..Roger

    1. Hi Roger. Some people would plot 4-hr technicals like this. What do you see wrong with it? Do technicals always work? Heck no. They throw off false signals - particularly on smaller time frames.

      https://invst.ly/rgeas

      But your comment suggests you may be looking for one thing, and others looking for something else. You may be looking for an investing time frame. Others may be looking for a swing-trading time frame. Others may be looking for a day-trading time frame. Others may not be sure what they are looking for. Only one thing is for sure - I could not, and can not satisfy everyone. Best of luck to you, too.

    2. I certainly whole-heartedly agree with the possibility of the endless flood of liquidity
      mucking up the wave patterns thus making accurate counts challenging. Nonetheless EWT rules still apply and there is always a number that tells you a proposed count is wrong. I don't recall ever seeing a longer series of corrective waves...

      Delete
    3. @tachy..the 'length' of the corrective waves 'may' be due to the degree of the wave structure. Primary ((4)) corrected from 2000 - 2009, or nine years. Again, that was 'nine' (9) years. IF this is Primary ((B)), then so far it has corrected only from 2018 - 2020, or just two years. So, unless not alive from 2000 then there has, indeed, been a longer series of corrective waves that you - or most of us - have experienced.

    4. Im speaking of longer time frames..I know this senseless stream of liquidity will end badly..when has always been the question... I find gold and some bit coin for a longer term holding...can anyone do true discovery for fundamental investing, I sure cant, assets are distorted. Trading a different story for sure. Well EOM almost here and another round of helicopter will be dropped. :) Enjoy it while you can.

      To the above Joe..with all due respect..if the liquidity stop along with the bond buying programs...how would it be that could be charted..my point is who knows... who or what will come next..I sure don't.

  8. Here is the intraday wave-counting screen at the moment. Investing.com is falling behind in quotes. They are 3 - 5 points off at any time now.

  10. To the account known as dp .. who keeps trying to harass my account. You should know that as of this time none of your messages needs to be read by me. They are all going to spam. However, they are all being stored as proof of your continued harassment. If you do not cease and desist by 5 PM today, the next step will be reporting your IP to Google for action, up to and including suspension of all of your account privileges for spam, and for threatening my account. SO, again, the more you send, the more evidence you are putting into the folder.

  12. This is all I have at the moment: two sets of zigzags downward, with the second set longer in price and time than the first set. This is followed by an up wave which is longer in price and time, than the first intervening up wave.

  13. Possible exp diagonal in progress?

  14. All I can say is that the potential Elliott Wave patterns can provide a clear invalidation point. But, it is sometimes so close to the high ..

    4. ..ES 5-min now below the 3,207 ((B)) wave fractal low.

    5. ..I would move the invalidation level down to 3,122 b/c either that ((C)) wave failed or it didn't. If it didn't we made another flat with a potential upward resolution. See chart below.

    6. ..to qualify as a potential diagonal, this next down leg must cross 3,183.50, and it should take more time than the prior leg down. Do not be surprised if a b wave, up, throws in quite a steep retrace.

      Delete
    7. Interesting that 3183.50 target would close last night's opening gap.

      Delete
    8. ..can be seen as the larger, whippy, flat option; just odds of a diagonal begin to fall off rapidly from here, if there are any further highs, and the downward wave v cycle has to start all over again.

  15. So, cash just doesn't 'look' like a potential diagonal. Even though nothing has formally invalidated yet, 'maybe' we are getting a triangle, instead.

    1. ..yesterday's "running b wave" would have been a 'running ii'nd wave' auguring in the overnight strength. It was a 'running wave' for some reason.
