Revision to Weekly Down Count

The diagonal possibilities are likely invalidated as of this morning. That makes the downward count potentially more bearish - eventually, not yet. Here is the revision on the weekly chart.

ES Futures - Weekly - Count Adjustment


The down wave from the high, excluding the truncation bar (red asterisk *) is a regular non-overlapping impulse with wave 4 shorter than wave 2 in price, time & complexity for it's alternation. It is possible the pattern is attempting to regain the 50% or 62% Fibonacci level. The MACD indicates a non-divergent low for (1), a divergent low for X, and a return to the zero line.

The chart is read as, "a trending impulse Intermediate (1) wave down consisting of five Minor degree waves, and corrective Intermediate (2) up, consisting of a complex flat wave". There were a Fibonacci 22 (21 + 1) weeks down, and more than that in bars to the upside.

If correct this suggests a more bearish outcome if and when Intermediate (3) gets underway downward. Again, this chart attempts to adhere to all definitions of degree labeling. Within the last minute ((a)), up, and ((b)) down of Minor Y, there may be a Flat wave.

Have an excellent rest of the day.

  1. on a candle chart, a = c comes in at 4435. quite a bit of overhead supply exists for bulls to contend with

    1. ES 5-min: The prior low has already been broken watch for overlap as a warning and see if the high is maintained.

    2. ES 5-min: downward overlap has occurred. Warning. TJ.

  3. ES 60-min: backing off to the ES hourly, this looks like a completed impulse in a wedge. Monitor the high.

  4. ES Daily: I think those that counted the contracting diagonal on the way up, got it correct. Here's what I see in the count since the X wave.

  5. 1. If this transpires as counted then it will destroy everyone sucked into the "breakout" narrative. (which seems to be.... well, everyone). It would also need an event to stimulate the downside I would think. Though that may just look like "chop" or "consolidation" until the third wave of (3) shows up. Maybe that would be the "event".
    2. Can (ii) of ((c)) be considered a "sharp" even though it is minuscule in time to (i) and also only a 23% retrace? And if it can be considered a sharp, should we expect a triangle or complex (iv)?

    1. There is already a 'flat' four in progress based on the overnight. We got to 95% of the prior high. Other than that I am not a clairvoyant. I count waves. 1) It could be debt ceiling or a default, 2) It could be charging a former president, 3) It could be effects of the Ukraine situation, 4) It could be another country problem (China/Taiwan, North Korea, ) 5, it could be complications from the British strikes. In other words, there's nothing going on in the world. TJ.

  6. ES 2-Hr: here is the local geometry so far as we have it before the Payroll Employment report tomorrow.

    Price can be sideways/whippy, and it can definitely go 'over-the-top' tomorrow if it wants to for alternation with the sharp wave (ii). It already made a wave which has characteristics of going 95% of the way to the top, reminiscent of a Flat wave. This 'could' repeat a couple of times or go over the top.

  7. TJ,
    -- 2 and 4 would both be :3 irregular waves albeit 2 is a complex :3. Is that still accepted as wave alternation?
    -- Can X (4327/3502, Aug-Oct) be counted as a :5 rather than a :3? That is, if a :5, then given px and time of the upleg since 3502 Oct low, degree labelling would suggest potential alternate of 4808/3502 being a large :3/ZZ/(A) and we are now in :3/(B) deep retrace. Or, if :3, then 4808/3502 a leading expanding diagonal (short 5th wave) which also suggests a deep retrace.
    Appreciate you guidance.

    1. 1. Yes, acceptable alternation as they alternate in three of the four categories (time, depth, complexity) just not shape.
      2. Yes, X can be a five, but doesn't have to be. Remember, the DOW (YM) futures did not make that final low like the ES did (see link below). So, that makes me think it was a 'C' wave that truncated.

      3. All depends on whether X is :3 or :5. Sorry, can't be more help there.

  8. I know your big picture says we have major top and you need an impulse lower, but it is better to count the move as what it is double zig-zag - https://invst.ly/-6lm-

    1. No because you have a new low after your final 'c'. Are you just going to ignore that? And that's just 'one' reason. Please don't post here any more. TJ.

    2. That fractal has now been exceeded higher. Draw tentative channel up. Looks for possible triangle or Flat wave.

      Look and monitor for down (red) fractals to see when they form.

    4. Now a downward retrace of 38.2%. Good enough for a "b" wave, but can go further if it wants.

  13. SPY 5-min: now widen the channel out, and mark the new down (red) fractal at the low, and see which fractal breaks next. If the up (green) fractal breaks, then likely a flat or expanded flat wave is occurring in cash.

    https://www.tradingview.com/x/kCn7azF6/

    If the down (red) fractal breaks, then perhaps a triangle is under construction.

    1. As I responded to novice @ 8:53 pm last night, it all depends if that wave is a :3 or a :5. TJ.
