Best Count Given Nvidia Earnings

Using the ES 4-Hr chart, below is the best count given the announced NVDA earnings after the close today.  As of this writing (about 5 min before the futures close), the futures are trading at roughly 4,474-6. The conference call takes place after 5 pm ET when the futures are closed.


The upward move from the low appears to best count as an overlapping expanding diagonal. I stated that I would look for one. This appears to be it - as an a wave up of a corrective wave higher.

Have a good start to the evening,

  1. Could it also be considered w-x-y-x-z in an expanding pattern? The Nvidia spike places the correction around the 50% retrace.

    Thanks!

    1. Yes, it could. As it could also be considered as a 'i', and not just 'a'. Welcome to the world of true alternates. TJ.

  2. SPY 30-min: it's a 'stretch' but I'm pretty sure cash can be counted the same.

    1. SPY 30-min: the cash gap just closed. Another count like this might work in a parallel, too.

      Be very careful.

  3. If I was the market and wanted to be diabolical, I would put this mornings completed expanding diagonal as c of a running correction.

    1. So, I think the problem with that is the "B" wave down would be longer in price than wave (iii) down - the same higher degree wave in the prior direction - and this would be a degree violation. I tried it from each of the lower troughs of wave (iii) to see if I could find one that would work. I couldn't. One is 'close' but no cigar. TJ.

  5. SPY 30-min: the overlap warning has been triggered. The extended first wave count prevails in a wedge shape.

  6. SPY 30-min: another option comes from The Principle of Equivalence. Right now, we think it is a :5 up. But the red count shown in a channel suggests that 'maybe' because the second leg is inside of equality perhaps the whole structure is only a :3. Again, it's the 'equality' that may be the key.

  8. ES 30-min: from the intraday wave counting screen, it certainly looks like we're into a fifth wave down.

  10. SPY 30-min: outside bar (higher/lower?) on Powell speech. Doesn't provide much information yet. There was a channel back-test but not a clear failure lower at this time. The bar is not closed until the bottom of the hour.

    1. Outside bar is lower. SPY gap is now filled around 62.8% level. Not particularly bullish but it certainly could whip around at any time.
