In Simplest Terms -

The two-daily chart of SP500 closing prices is below. The Elliott Wave count is reduced to its simplest terms for the overlapping waves shown.


Don't get confused by a lot of hype or attempted overly precise market technical analysis. The two counts shown (y) / (iii) are equivalent by The Principle of Equivalence until they are not. The recent higher high might be occurring on a MACD divergence but that is not proved yet. There is also nothing conclusive that the current up wave is over. That is, there are still ways to count smaller degree waves higher. The wedge lines can be redrawn when we know where the wave structures terminate.

As we have said for weeks it is possible to form either a contracting diagonal or just a double (or triple) zigzag in this area with this wave structure. Patience, calm and flexibility is the name of the game in the summer trading scenarios.

Have an excellent rest of the weekend,

  1. A 45 point difference in Es mini June and September contacts. Never seen such a difference so near to ending on contract on June16th. Any thoughts?

    2. 52 week high for Spx. Tomorrow inflation report may propel the markets.

  2. SP500 1-Hr: a count like this is 'plausible' not perfect. The alt count is that the high is still wave ③ with another dip and another high to go. The "alt" would agree more with the EMA-34.

      assume higher until the magenta channel breaks is back-tested and the back test fails (not trading or investment advice .. just a wave count).

  5. ES 5-min: watching this structure; either a 'b' wave or a potential diagonal.

  12. ES 30-min: just a reminder of the intraday wave-counting-screen. ES had a new high in the overnight. Price is now again above the intraday 18-per SMA in real time. Some times FED days make good fourth waves, with a higher high after the big banks know what the FED decided.
