The area of ES 4256 is welcoming to all who have a trading thesis. Whether you're bullish or bearish, that remains the short term target for SP500 Futures. Once that level is reached, it becomes a jump ball. In the above chart you'll notice an impulsive 5-wave count down labeled in BLUE, and an orange count labeled abc with an arrow pointing higher. The 4256...
Maybe the catalyst higher starts at Jackson Hole and Chairman Powell's speech at 10am? If not that, then the market will move higher because of either a soft, or NO landing recession thesis. As I continue to update my sentiment chart for my followers, these are the current narratives being discussed...but it will not matter to the sentiment chart what the...
Last week I posted my long-term perspective of the SPX cash market from inception . This is the reverse of that. I am not an economist. I'm a pattern analyst and trader. Nonetheless, as a student of the economy, I find that rarely do fundamentals align with a technical forecast. I try to encourage my members to abstain from applying linear thinking to...
Today I shared a video in my trading room of Tom Lee on CNBC post his CPI massive rally call which didn't materialize. One member pointed out: " Lol. The man in this interview is not “fearless.” He is having trouble getting it out, and he has concerns. He is impressed by the “pronunciation” of this move. " I share the sentiment chart so we can observe the...
I vividly recall a few years back having just finished labeling the above chart of the SP500 from inception. I labeled the chart and included most of the historical events that occurred over the course of that time. As a trader, I wanted to have a quick reference visual picture of price action during war time, innovation, and societal change, juxtaposed on my...
I have been on Trading View for almost a year now. In that timeframe I have been fortunate enough to have almost 2,600 people who follow my work, shared almost 700 ideas within that community, and founded my website for paying members. Yesterday, we held a training / education Zoom call and dissected the move up off the October low of 3502. The purpose of this...
My base case is XLF has topped and confirmation below $34.21.
Trader Sentiment is of the utmost importance as it pertains to price action. The attached is one that will be updated from time to time as my followers can see how the various bullish and bearish sentiment plays into the price action.
As we have discussed at length in my Trading Room. We are now experiencing a much anticipated and needed decline in the indices. Whether the recent highs in the Nasdaq and the SPX are lasting tops is yet to be determined. Local Tops in both indexes are confirmed...and therefore that means price will eventually get into the respective confirmation zones. In the...
Above $1630 and the below pathway is the standard progression of the wave count off the June 2022 low.
...But this could be extended wave 4 in an overall c-wave decline displayed in purple. The mid June decline into the low .20 cent region invalidated the immediate move to the $.70-.80 level. Granted in the very micro charts, the structure favors higher levels...but it may just be respite for eventual lower levels to come. Black is my primary analysis and purple...
The last couple months have been challenging if you were bearish on the markets. However, recently it seems one by one, all the bearish analysts and money managers are now issuing their mea culpas, and are quickly embracing the bullish market perspective. I am no different. I made the mistake of allowing my analytical bias to remain front and center for too...
Clearly I miscalculated the momentum of this retrace. I have been steadfast on this retracement respecting the .618% and the .786% and none of those resistance areas have given price pause. This move is now taking on parabolic characteristics. Given the fact that price has yet to respect fib extensions nor retracement resistance, I have no choice but to think...
I'll keep this brief. The area on the chart where purple 5 resides best counts as a 3-wave structure. Therefore, in my primary analysis, I am counting this as an irregular b wave that made a slightly higher high and now we should be heading into the 4370 area for our black c wave of 4. I have a purple alternative 5 on the chart because there is a chance of wave...
In mid-June the SPX Futures hit a high of 4493.75. Let’s examine the data points, the characteristics of the subsequent price action, and attempt to see if the SPX Futures Market topped at 4493.75. Since futures bottomed in October of 2022 at 3502, price advanced for 8 months so far has appreciated by 28.3%. With market analysts, money and asset managers, and...
The Nasdaq market has been the most impulsive looking of the indices. Having stretched slightly above the .786% retracement off the move down from November 2021 highs to the October 2022 lows, price looks to challenge the overall bearish structure. Unlike the other indices, the Nasdaq shows a clear impulsive structure. However, the problem with this idea of...
If you’ll remember in October of 2022 when the SPX had declined 27% since the January all-time highs. It seemed the sentiment and market news were uber bearish with back drop of the Federal Reserve hiking rates by an unprecedented .75 points at its FOMC meetings at the time . Around the December lows, we began discussing in my trading room what the sentiment...
Anyone who answers yes or no definitively to that question is really just guessing. As a practitioner of Elliott Wave I can answer that question in two-parts. 1) There is not enough price action to make such a determination In my trading room we discuss the key levels that need to be breached to even start to consider the upside pattern is cracking. To date,...
