Still Some Odds

Tonight, I wanted to briefly cover another alternative I thought of which says that the decline is not quite over, yet. Previously, I have showed you ways I think the market could go higher (see post at this LINK). Here is one where I show you a way that the market could go lower. The is on the ES 8-hr chart and it is response to the question, "What if the market is in a smaller, not a larger, triangle?"


If I reconfigure the decline as five minute-degree waves, with an extended fifth wave shown as x, then that could be the Minor A wave, down. The smaller triangle could be a Minor B wave up. And this could be followed by a Minor C wave down to overlap the 2022 high - which hasn't happened yet.

So far, we have one zigzag up - shown as (a), (b), (c) to  of B. So, a lot more market churn could happen in the news if this scenario were to play out before the Minor C wave down got underway.

To be fair, the B wave could also be "any three", such as a double-zigzag so it could play out that the level of B is higher - more near the prior minute fourth wave - which is often a target for B waves.

And then, under this scenario the C wave could be either an impulse or a tough-on-the-nerves diagonal.

All, this is just an option at this time. IF we trade above  of the triangle, and significantly above the minute fourth wave, circle-iv, then the option simply becomes lower odds.

The problem at the moment is we are in no-one's land, and we still need to count locally until the larger structure becomes more clear.

Have an excellent rest of the evening and the weekend,

  1. Hi tech exempted from tariff. More likely that triangle to upside playing

  2. A second attempt to prop the market. The PPT wants an a-b-c where the ‘c’ wave takes out the top of the ‘a’ wave significantly. They hope to convince investors that the bottom is in and it’s safe to buy the dip.

    If we get a bit of a surge Monday-Tuesday, then I would expect a pretty good pullback. If that pullback only gives up 38% of the rise, the odds of the big triangle go up. If the correction goes deep, the odds of the smaller consolidation triangle increase.
