The Fakeout Bounce

Short
SP:SPX   S&P 500 Index
Whether old charts, new charts, big drops or smaller ones - charts with sharp drops in price share very similar characteristics. I decided to use two very different examples; one from a different period in time, though similar to our current move in size (Crash of 1929), and one from our current time period and though much smaller in size it still meets the sharp drop criteria (January 2018).

This move is pretty standard in these scenarios, a sharp wave 4 retracement after a massive wave 3 drop setting the stage for wave 5. Me personally, I am looking at the 1.272 extension as a potential bottom on this move, plus 2000 is likely to be a psychological support as well. Looking for that move to conclude most likely by month's end.
