Higher High Overnight, then Sputter

Stock futures made a higher high overnight and got within points of the upper Daily Bollinger Band, which kept the swing line temporarily higher. And then they attempted to reverse. By the cash close, the reversal was only counted as three waves.

ES Futures - 1 Day - Higher High Day

The DOW, meanwhile, made a lower low day and may still be in a triangle. There are still ways the market can go higher. There are certainly ways it can start lower. The assumption is the market is on temporary hold pending the results of the FED conference tomorrow.

Have a good start to the evening.

    Notice how steep the move off 2191 bottom, crazy. We are stretched above the 250 dma and diverging.

  3. There are some very strange things going on in the world of EW charting. I saw one count this evening that has the S & P in a third up at FIVE degrees of trend. I find that absolutely remarkable considering where price is trading in any acceleration channel (near bottom, to say nothing of piercing the top) and also the price action in VIX. I suppose anything is possible in these Frankenstein markets, and we could see a parabolic move higher that swiftly changes all of the above.

  5. Good morning. Here is the ES 30-min intraday wave-counting-screen with updated daily pivot points (classic calculation) and local fractals.

    Price has moved considerably sideways overnight.

    Possible C wave down in this area, or maybe minimal gains if were headed back to the high and then lower.

  7. So, on SPY 15-min a key question today seems to be which way does this 'apparent' triangle break. I have shown a valid count for an 'up' wave. If the triangle breaks 'down' instead of up, then must consider a larger triangle into tomorrow, with lower lows than today's low or perhaps a diagonal downward with green (C) as (1), down, as it is only three-waves at this point.

    1. ES futures, and SPY have busted that original triangle, lower. Looking towards the other options noted.

  8. Potential turning point at the bottom of the channel for TQQQ. The move seems a bit aggressive though and there might be something larger going on for this down wave.

  12. Ordinarily sideways price action in a down-trend presages more downside unless we see a reversal candle like a hammer or bullish engulfing candle. Mr. Market has the nasty habit of late of taking off to the upside out of these sideways patterns with nary a warning, never mind the clueless attributions from the idiot talking heads in the media. Taking the money and running on bear spreads expiring today...just in case... ;)

  13. ES futures 1- hr (fyi only) have broken yesterday's low of 4,224.50 now.

  14. I am showing two forms for this wave in the ES futures ((1)) - ((5)), and a-b-c-x because wave ((4)) looks 'awfully long in time'. It could be either at the moment.

    1. Reminder: the FOMC policy decision is due out at the top of the hour. And this is followed later by the Chair's press conference.

      IFF the ((E)) wave of the triangle is exceeded higher, then it tends to rule out the a-b-c-x count.

  19. DOW futures (fyi only) .. just pointing out the DOW's 'potential' triangle now has a decent 62% retrace downwards. Certainly could go further. This is sort of the 'minimum' for a triangle.

  20. CNBC - Chair Powell says (paraphrase) "this was the meeting that is the 'meeting for thinking about thinking about raising rates, and it is now time to retire that terminology"

  21. What a clown! The dirty little secret is that they ultimately have little choice but to follow the market when it comes to interest rates, and I think they are going higher.

  27. Just like yesterday's news, economic news continue to point to slowdown and higher inflation at the same time.

    Misses on building permits and new house starts - below forecast by 50-60K on both - and much higher import price index than expected.

    8:30 am Building permits (SAAR) May 1.68 million 1.73 million 1.73 million
    8:30 am Housing starts (SAAR) May 1.57 million 1.63 million 1.52 million
    8:30 am Import price index May 1.1% 0.7% 0.8%
