Just a Caution

Just a cautionary note. The latest downward wave in the SPX500 (CFD) and in its cash equivalent, the SPY, does not show evidence of breaking a base channel (or Kennedy Channel Technique - KCT) lower yet. So far, the recent down wave has stayed away from the lower channel boundary.


There is a non-zero probability, and maybe a substantial one, this sequence counts as w-x-y, down, and might overall be a (b) wave of some degree, especially being against the lower daily Bollinger Band. The correction from 30 Aug to 1 Sep is at or less than 38%. But because there is no upward overlap yet, we can only look and wait to see if a lower low is made. If one is made, then the whole sequence might count as one impulse with an extended first wave in a wedge. That would be perfectly fine, but the down wave with a lower low must form first to conclude that.

Whereas if a lower low is not made, and the upper channel boundary breaks, first, then it is possible the structure is w-x-y as a larger (b) wave.

Have an excellent rest of the evening.

  1. SPX500 (CFD) 1 hr: made an overnight new low by about 3 pts, but so far, that would mean cash hasn't. If cash can, and extended the losses a bit further, that might be a more convincing wave.

  2. As far as I can tell; cash did not work out with the lower low. And in terms of channels, this 4-hr channel is amazing in its touch points.

    It could be 1) all of minute ((ii)) lower for the larger diagonal, upward, although it seems very shallow for that, 2) it could be part of a larger diagonal lower, but that will not be addressed until below the lows again.
