Indicators Seem to Have Rolled

In the ES 2-Hr chart we showed yesterday, the indicators seem to have rolled lower with lower lows. Today, also made a daily new price low versus yesterday.

ES Futures - 2 Hr - Indicators Lower Lows

There is one way we can count a still continuing diagonal, upward. Wave ((3)), above, becomes ((1)); wave ((5)) becomes ((3)); today's low becomes wave ((4)); and a new high or failure becomes ((5)) of C. The daily slow stochastic is still embedded, and price is over the 18-day SMA and so has positive bias. Therefore, we can not yet positively rule out this potential alternate. However, this scenario would invalidate if price got below 2,738.50 prior to making a new high.

Because the indicators have rolled, as above, and because the RSI is not yet in oversold territory on an intraday chart, the alternate above likely has lower odds. But, there are weekly unemployment claims tomorrow morning - and that could drive some volatility.

In the futures, it would be nice to see one more lower low below today's 2,751.25 low to make a clean impulse, before starting a more corrective wave, upward.

Have a good start to your evening.

  1. Looks like the new lower low was put in during the after-hours.

  2. And the alt currently has not busted 2738.5, it has lost all wedge shape.

    1. Welcome. If that is a true impulse down, it would also tend to kill the larger diagonal.

  4. 5 waves down can be a correction ending C wave in Industrials, SP500, and Russell 2000, with peak last Thursday resulting in 3 step - a-b-c - correction that appears to be completing this morning. All depends on how the expected bounce unfolds.

  5. SPX island reversal top still in play. Possible H&S top, with right shoulder almost complete. Need solid break out of recent trading range, approximately 2750 to 2800.

    1. Nice try, but one of the arcane rules is that wave 2 cannot be a triangle. However, wave 2 can be a complex correction that ends with a triangle.

    5. Thanks @Grey. Whether this horizontal wave is a B or 2, my current thought is that a C or 3 down begins soon.
