Big Day in ES

The daily ES chart in the requested format is below. Today was a big day for the reasons given below the chart.


Occurrences Today

  • Price today hit the lower daily Bollinger band - we said before it could be a local target.
  • Price today established a swing-line down trend with a lower low and a lower high now below the 18-day SMA.
  • Price again closed below the 18-day SMA, keeping the closing price bias lower.
  • Downward price today from (3) is clearly longer than wave (iv) and likely makes for a change of degree structure in the waves.
  • As we showed at this LINK the upward diagonal was exceeded lower in less time than the diagonal took to build - a key Neely step in post-pattern-confirmation. The expected behavior did occur.
What to Expect
  • Today, technically, we only have some or all of three-waves down. So, we still need to use the Principle of Equivalence to count i/a, ii/b, iii/c until there is more wave structure. This is true even though we suspect we are in a real third wave. The market needs to prove that. Otherwise, there are diagonal shapes that could form downward.
  • The daily slow stochastic is currently over-sold, so this might be a place where the Smart Money takes some profits at the lower band.
  • But if price wishes to give way, the 100-day SMA can be a next target; and it is possible with several days of the slow stochastic under the 20 level that it might embed.
  • IFF we truly had the extended fifth wave scenario of (v), above, then extended fifth waves are almost always retraced a minimum of 68%, and many times they are fully retraced (or more).
To continue the downtrend price should remain under the previous swing-line high, shown by the up (green) fractal triangle - which is also the EW resistance at this time.

So have an excellent start to the evening,
TraderJoe

    1. thats way too early to be making such a bold statement. We need a clear Elliott Wave topping pattern to confirm such a larger degree top is in play. Even then buying the dips should work till we get into third wave meat of it. Pattern says to me ripper of a rally likely coming soon once this down wave completes in the day or so.

    3. Well the Dow went up and filled the gap. it looks like a flat B or 2 . Japan I think did 2 of 3 with a nested 1'2's off the top. The NDX and germany might have made their final rally before heading significantly lower. But this market has been buoyant . Take my outlook with a grain of salt.

    4. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised to see spy at 550 by Tuesday. The rsi is in the absolute gutter and we're at BBQ and ma support. If we're going to crash harder, I would think a reset comes first but maybe I'm being too optimistic. Today we ended 1:1 between the two waves so I think B or X or whatever is next.

  2. So far on es we have 2 waves with no 1.618 extension. So we have and abc of some short or the fifth wave will extend down. No overlap of as of yet.

  3. Counting 2nd : or B corrective wave higher.

  4. ES 2-Hr: as I said in the post, the two sets of wave labels are equivalent until they are not. This is The Principle of Equivalence. A wave-counting-stop is set at this afternoon's high. Try not to 'guess'.

  7. SPY 5-min: update as of noon; possible triangle for a fourth wave ('maybe' a diagonal, not sure) .. here's how the wave structure subdivides, so far.

    Not 'sure' c is over yet, but close. Within 'c', (5) = 1.618 x (3) in an expanding diagonal wave.
