S&P 5000 - Minus (Con't)

The S&P crossed the 5,000.00 mark today but couldn't close above it. We showed the following two-weekly chart for the Dow earlier. We note the ES futures are nearing the 0.618 extension of wave (1). That price is 5,034.25 and is only about 15 - 20 points away depending on how exact you want to be given closing-only prices.


Still, although the wave count is getting very, very mature there isn't a sign of a turn yet, and one needs to just be aware that downside risks are piling up. Sentiment, narrowing breadth, and unfilled gaps are just a few that we've covered. Further, intraday price action is getting exceptionally overlapping making triangles, or parts of flats, and/or diagonals.

Caution flags are up. Patience & flexibility are the requirements of the moment. 

Have an excellent start to the evening.

  1. ES 2-Hr: closer-in here is what is meant by the maturity of the current count, along with typical TA targets for a triangle.

    The current fifth wave has put on the additional points (what I referred to as extending the other day) in the sub-micro degree.

    1. Yep. I'm looking at the same. Both ES & NQ. Can go higher if it wants. TJ.

    2. Little arguement against would be a diagonal in 1st and now 5th wave going back to 4960ish but could be sign of how stretched we are.
