There was a very impulsive drop today but it has only produced a 3 wave pattern and since then we have had a fairly good rally to the upside.  We have breached a wave 1 violation to make it a 3 wave pattern, but another count could have this in a 1-2 count from yesterdays close but unlikely.  Just throwing the possibilities out there that's all.

The support today on the SPX lines up with the A = C rule of EW. As you can see at the bottom chart our forecasting lines were close to dead-on.  On a cycle basis, we have a turning point on April 8th brought on by a Astro Analysis of Mars 36 Degrees.  Anyone looking at these analysis should expect a reversal, but it will depend on Mondays move as to which direction the impulsive goes.

Our analysis of our indicators still says that mid-term trend is still to the downside no matter what the EW pattern says.  Our daily Stoch. indicator is resting on the midline trending downward with the chart sporting a reversal candle.  On top of that the tail end of todays bar has pierced the lower BB line which could possibly line up for a move higher.

Therefore the way to trade this would be to follow the daily Stoch. for a cross up and to exit with your short position then. and wait for a cross back down to short again unless your mid-term trend reverses to the upside as well.  In which case you would trade to the upside.



A Bearish case would continue to look like this chart posted on Apr. 3rd.

Just to note for those following the Canadian Markets.  The TSX proved to be supported on a 200ma Daily Chart.  It would give a good indication that there is a high probability of a bounce.  With the Daily chart being in oversold all we need to confirm this is if the indicator crosses up to sustain a daily to a weekly rally.

  1. Thanks MP!

    I'm seeing some people calling for a rally up to around 1565 for an H&S with 3. What do you think about this possibility?

    1. There is a possibility, but given that this is a 3 wave down pattern thus far from Apr 2nd. We can only assume its corrective. If we did get to 1565 SPX then we have cancelled any possibility of this move down as a 1-2, 1-2 for a 3rd down because we would have passed the origin of a possible 2nd degree first wave (High of Apr 4 at 1563). If we were to go down after that it would then still be considered corrective.

      Many EW analyst thinks that the April 4th pattern can also be a 4th wave. I cant say definitely that it isn't but doesn't look likely because of the impulsive manner we went down today. All in all we just have to rely on our Stoch. indicator which has proven much reliable when in doubt.
