Warsh-it

When I needed my clothes cleaned because I got them muddy as a young kid, I would ask my mom to wash them. Apparently, when something is muddy in the Midwest (particularly 'round Ohio, Indiana and Illinois) you ask to have them warshed - well you say it that way. The wave counts are currently a bit muddy, maybe the meeting tomorrow can help make them cleaner again. The hourly ES futures are below.

It looks like - at the moment - there are three waves down from the high, but they currently count best as two zigzags, starting with the diagonal "a" wave we pointed out yesterday from the high.


Of interest, the second wave down is 1.618 x the first. And price got under a prior overnight low. I'll be a good boy and not suggest that it means that upside & higher all-time highs can't happen. I won't suggest that maybe the ES & SP500 will truncate. I did not say that. You did not hear that. Being over 78% it could still be the fifth wave. With an FOMC meeting tomorrow a lot could happen. And much could happen over-night. I would keep my eye on that overlap warning level, and on the 18-day SMA which price is still above.

Today was an inside day. A day of rest. Have a good start to the evening,

  3. ES futures 30-min: from the intraday wave-trading screen. 1) whippy, 2) there 'was' overlap in the futures (shown), but not the CFD (not shown), 3) 'currently' the trend lines are converging, but that could change, they could expand or break down or up. Both currently 'roughly' 78%.

    2. Just checking in to see if anyone else spotted a potential bearish leading diagonal triangle in the S&P 500 Cash Index, from the all time high?

    2. 1) I don't do SPX because it's not tradeable. Use SPY, SPX500 or ES. Also, different chart services handle the last 15 differently - plotting it as a stutter or a doji bar, every time. 2) In the SPY below, it is basically the same. 3) How many times do I have to tell people here to 'always' plot with the EWO/AO. It will answer a lot of questions for you - and save me work & breath. 4) the ruler and the EWO currently count it like this.
