Alternation Likely Obtained

The cash SPY index went over the prior local high. The ES 4-hr futures came to well-within 90% of the prior high (more like 98%) and might go over the high on earnings reports, although it is not required to. Here is the ES 4-Hr chart again.


In any case, alternation has likely been obtained with the sharp second wave, and a trip to the lower parallel might result. If it does, be careful to watch for any overlap warnings.

This is also just a reminder that tomorrow's economic reports bring new home sales in the morning and the FOMC report & press conference in the afternoon. Thursday is Durable Goods, Initial Claims for Unemployment and the Advance GDP report. Then Friday brings the PCE Prices index. So, there will be a lot to chew on.

Have a good start to the evening,

  4. SPY 1-Hr: backing off just a bit, can still be in the 'b' wave over the high. No issues with degree labeling.

  5. I think a C up now for nasdaq is probable, should annihilate a lot of shorts before the bigger move down.

  8. SPY 1-Hr: there is gap fill. I'm placing a 'wave-counting-stop' at this morning's SPY high-of-day.

    1. This is also to verify that this down wave is longer in price than prior Ⓧ wave down ..in same direction .. so a turn of degree might occur. TJ.

  9. High to Low - Low to High now equal in time on the daily. I ask again will this matter. I cant help but notice the big gap between June 8 and June 9 that shows up on a bunch of my charts.

    VIX double bottom or continued descent? At some point this will matter again.

    1. On the VIX, Ira Epstein would say "when the VIX touches the lower daily Bollinger Band, the pros begin to write puts hoping to get back to the middle band."

      https://www.tradingview.com/x/hePsdwOI/

      They did that today and more, and now the band is traveling sideways which is 'consolidation' that may precede a trending move. The difficult part (says Ira) is predicting the direction of the eventual breakout.

  10. SPY 1-Hr: now below prior Ⓧ wave. Also wave three much longer than 1.618 x wave one. So, a successful fourth wave should result when it occurs.

    1. circle W completed at the low in September, and circle Y would end around SPX 3000 or 1.272 of circle W
