Brexit Mish-mash

The House of Commons voted down Prime Minister Theresa May's revised proposal which was to provide certain legal assurances and offer a defined 'deal' to the process. By being voted down, the stage is set for continued uncertainty in the U.K., including calls for the P.M. to step down. We don't know how this will go in the end. 

Yesterday, we cited the count of a likely 'a' wave up. Today during our comments we cited the possibility of starting the 'b' wave down. A chart is below.

S&P500 Cash Index - 15 Minutes - Possibly into b lower

This sideways wave, with marginally higher highs is one of the longest waves in time since the recent up turn began. For this reason, we think the degree of the wave has turned from 'a' to 'b'. Filling the gap made today would help provide confirmation. Sometimes, 'b' waves stop at the fourth wave of a lower degree, and  that would be about a 38% retrace. (But, it could also go lower). Then, we might expect a 'c' wave up to begin.

All-in-all, with the exception of the gaps, the trade has been real grinding and choppy.

Have a good start to the evening.

    1. The YouTube channel was discontinued due to abuse. When I post videos they will appear on this site.

      Welcome, TJ.

  3. Your choice of the incomplete bear trend take is intriguing. Many other practitioners have gone with the commence of a new bull trend.
    It seems that both views can be equally supported by Elliott theory at this time, but confirmation of the correct one may take quite some time yet.

  5. TJ I’m posting my chart again so you don’t forget. No degree violation between any sub-wave of the diagonal and ((a)). Also I can’t count 5 waves in (i) without forcing a smaller degree iv..so I think (i) counts best as abc..
    Thanks!!

  6. SP cash complete 5 wave up at 2814 from Friday low? If so, a wave (i) or C?

  7. I think it is an ABC up to a new high, can fit in the Erik B count

  8. My thesis and contention has been that there was a truncation on Jan 6. The fed righted the ship on that day. My upward count begins on that day giving the same a/b used on this site, but that changes the expectation of c to 2850 area for a=c. I count the last low as iv and am looking for the completion of 5 waves up from that point for C (2 or B).

  9. ET,
    running out of bearish counts. I still see the diagonal i mentioned 2 days ago for ((c)) which you said had violations, and even in f valid it needs more time and 2840+ to complete.

    How about something like this?

    1. Can not be a flat (your fourth wave) in the ending diagonal portion. Totally against the rules.

  10. Radio silence from ET after incorrect count? hmmmm....

    1. Oh, I'm just following this lovely little pattern on the Russell 2000 futures and waiting to see if it confirms or is a fourth wave.

      For the moment I am most interested in the 'weaker' sectors rather than the stronger ones. But I still have an idea on the S&P500. Just waiting...

    2. Overlaying the SP cash over the RUT the rally off Friday low are extremely similar, and look to be 5 waves. Impulse or a C to end (ii) of some kind?

      Delete
    3. As of 1:45 pm ET, the Russell pattern has taken "too much time" to have resolved a diagonal. Possible triangle or flat fourth wave most likely.

    4. DJIA cash has the marginal new high; and ES futures.

  11. in his defense, this time he did not place the ((c)) on chart implying upward move was done.

  12. Not sure what it means yet, but the DOW has this five-minute pattern; "possibly" building a diagonal. Has recent overlap anyway.

    1. A diagonal in the DJIA would invalidate below 25,704 (as wave four would be longer than wave two).

      Delete
    2. Diagonal in DOW just invalidated too.

      Delete
    3. That leaves a flat in the Dow, as the last chance up wave.

      Delete
    4. ..otherwise, we topped in a triangle in the DOW

      Delete
    5. Last chance ivth wave in the Dow, or, we topped.

    7. couldnt we have finished (1) at 1130 am yesterday and expanded flat bottoming as (2) with big wave 3 coming for uptrend since 2720 low? trying to look at all possibilities.

      Delete
  13. I count 11 waves up from 2347-2821. That's a triple zig-zag. If correct, then it should all come tumbling down.

  15. DAX Futures have moved down somewhat in line with Wall Street weakness subsequent to the posting of the above charts. The "d wave" of the proposed triangle retraced 81% of the "c wave". The location of these 2 waves are at 11606 and 11475 respectively. 61.8% and 78.6% retracement levels of the "d wave" (for the purposes of potentially helping to identify the location of the "e wave" of the proposed triangle) exist at 11524 and 11503 respectively. The DAX is currently trading at 11573.
