There is now at least one good way to count the minute ((a)) wave down within the Expanding Diagonal. That count is shown as the blue/black count in the SPY 30-min chart below.
Because the ES futures have not made a new daily low, yet, wave blue (v) could have more to travel lower. Also, it is possible to get even a larger fourth wave, red (iv), with a further fifth wave down to follow as red (v).
There is a great deal of uncertainty near the lows - just as there always is near highs: It is The Fourth Wave Conundrum - which is present at every degree of trend. I am presenting the first time I could legitimately count five waves down, and there could legitimately be others within reason. So, I do not wish to rush the count, but it is also necessary to count what one sees.
Have a good rest of the day.

Thanks TJ,
ReplyDelete"Because the ES futures have not made a new daily low, yet" I think it did.
No. A link to the chart is below. Futures made a lower low, yesterday, not today, according to these quotes.

Not sure what you are referring to.
TJ
I think it did now.
DeleteStop it. No it has not. It needs to get below 3,613.00 and low today is 3,622.00. I don't know what you are doing or why you have this confusion. TJ.
Delete@ Investing.com future was printing cash charts. Sorry for the confusion.
DeleteLike I have said before, 'no one' should be making 'any' decisions - no matter how small - using that site. Period. TJ.
Delete3613.50 till now.
DeleteSo maybe we are into wave iv which sets up an OB condition and a wave v decline into Q3 earnings season, which should be fairly ugly.
ReplyDeleteIs it your opinion that the bear market ends with wave v? Or is this sequence from Aug 16th -- i, ii, ..., v -- just the first sub-wave of the bear market's 'C' wave?
Since the bear's 'A' wave ran 6 - 8 months, 2 months seems a bit short for the 'C' wave. However, in 2008-09, the 'C' wave was much shorter than the 'A' wave, so that's not unprecedented.
My overall count is here. The count is called an expanding diagonal. The current (v) waves are likely to the next ((a)) of 5.

With core PCE jumping up to 4.9% y/y, another .75 hike should be coming at next fed meeting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updateTJ, you're very adept at finding the diagonal counts.
ReplyDeletewelcome. I try to find the impulses & triangles first, but when they don't appear ;)

looking forward to your ideas on this. Cycle guys we're calling for a bounce this week "or else" well, here we are - baby and bathwater out the window....
ReplyDeleteES .. new daily low. This new low wipes out the outside day, up, because it occurred within two trading days, and may reflect a trap for the bulls.
