Since my last SPX idea, the market has made a few moves that leads me to think bears may have been too bearish on the market. let me explain..
I think the market was always one step ahead and we completed wave A on the ABC reversal and we are already in B wave (where I stated COVID PEAK and optimism will lead the market higher). The move yesterday and today should confirm the B wave of the ABC and that the market is still headed down to around 1500 for the SPX.
Or are we?
Bulls argue that we are in a wave 4 of 5 of a longer bull market and that not only has the bear market ended but that we will now set a new all time high soon due to the feds unlimited QE. How could this be with all the disruption to the market and world economy? Well its hard to fight the fed but its also hard to not see how COVID has damaged the world economy. But then the world leaders are printing vast amount of money to stimulate the economy.
On a Technical bases, I will make an argument for both cases:
For the Bear Case - We are in an ABC reversal in which we are now in the B wave up which is the optimism that we are now turning the corner on COVID. I expect the rally to continue to day based on the futures which should lead to the bull trap zone.
The first resistance is the R1 which is around 2730. If the market break this then we are in what could be a bull trap since that is the former support. once the market is in the bull trap zone, the next resistance will be 2800 which is the .5 re-tracement of the whole A wave. If the bears fail to stop the bulls then the final resistance is the .618 (R3). With that broken, we could very well be in Bull market.
In my opinion looking at the weekly MACD, it does not look as though we could easily turn the tide but this is where the feds unlimited QE comes in with the bull case
For the Bull Case - This market "crash" has been all just a big misunderstanding which is being rectified by the feds action and Unlimeted QE. The crash was to sudden to be a long term bear market and it instead was a quick correction/wave 4 of a larger bull market to all time highs.
The trap set by the bears right above 2730 and below 2900 will turn into bear trap (since bears will anticipate a strong resistance and will short) before it breaks the daily 200EMA. After all Covid cases are peaking and the economy will be open soon and even if it doesn't we have the fed with unlimited PE.

I found this chart and the author agreed that I could share it. I find it fascinating.

Its happening. The B wave is about to be completed IMO as stated. We could get past 2958 which is R3, and get to 3135 IMO. If we go past 3135 then I would believe we are in a bull market. But for me, I would still be expecting a C wave once we realize the damage that has been done to the economy.
