FED Posture: Quantitative Tightening (QT)
We noted in the weekend video that the next target for Primary [5] was (5) = 0.618 x net [ (1) through (3) ] at 2,717. That target level was met today, and exceeded slightly, as per the monthly chart below.

Further we will note the presence of three monthly gaps in Intermediate (5). Usually, the "three-gap" sequence is first, an initiation gap, second, a continuation gap, and, third, and finally, an exhaustion gap. So, that pattern might make some sense here.
So, while this count is now 'plausible', it does not yet display the typical ending ending characteristics of either a large obvious triangle, or an ending diagonal. As I've said in yesterday's post, a contracting ending diagonal could be in progress. That did not change much today, except the relationship between potential c of (i), and a of (i) is now 0.618, and not 0.50 as it was yesterday. See the chart below.

Although prices softened a tad at the tail end of the day, there still is not a high probability sign of a turn. Today's daily candle is still a trend candle, and until lower daily lows begin to be made we must continue to count with the trend upward. Tomorrow is the Employment Report which helps set FED policy, so it might be worthwhile to tune in a few times tomorrow to check on progress.
Because of the strong green histogram on the Elliott Wave Oscillator, the alternate for the above count is an impulse where a = .i, and b = .ii, and c = .iii, and then a potential wave .iv could not overlap a = .i. Let me further clarify, since there is already a wave after it, the Leading Diagonal a wave, (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) can be either of a or .i. I have no preference, and we'll see what the employment report brings tomorrow.
Other than that, have a very good start to your evening!

joe,
ReplyDeletewithin dark small letter "a", on your 4 hour ES chart - your wave [i] is overlapped by your wave [iv]......... how do you account for this overlap?
thank you so much.
'a' is called a Leading Diagonal. A diagonal is a five-wave structure where four-to-one overlap is required.
Deletelol........you did indeed indicate the "leading diagonal" previously..........too much holiday sugar - it will distort your focus!
DeleteTJ in my opinion, evidence continues to mount we are in some type of 3rd wave from 1810. As much as you want to deny the OEW count, the internals/technicals don’t lie. The momentum is historic so by default it must be a third wave and not a fifth.
ReplyDeleteI have showed in the weekend video a plausible count where a wave 3 is here at this location. It's the third wave of a Fifth Extension Terminal. So far, all you want to do is have an 'opinion' and Kvetch. You have not shown me any work for consideration. Clearly I am aware of the technicals. But, are you aware of the technicals in the case of a fifth extended wave? Are you sure?
DeleteThank you for saying. One way to help is just to spread the word.
