SPX Update: Topping Patterns Worth Watching


Since there's no material change in the outlook since I suggested selling the bounce on Tuesday, in this update we'll examine a few developing patterns and let the charts do the talking. 

I've detailed the 10-minute chart with support and resistance lines, and notes on the potential topping patterns.  Also note there is theoretical support crossing the first target zone.




The hourly chart is unchanged:
 
 


On the five-minute chart, there are some notes regarding possible near-term pivots.  Yesterday's "best guess" projected path played out quite well for the day, but that in itself doesn't guarantee another wave down immediately -- one of the things which never ceases to amuse me is how often "The They" manage to close the market at gray-levels.


I simply can't foresee the bend here just yet, and it's possible that wave C is subdividing into a larger five-wave form, which would be significantly more bearish (shown in black).  There is another possible pattern here which extends this move sideways/up, but in the interest of clarity I'm not going to discuss it unless the market gives me reason to.



In conclusion, the bulls are still clinging to hope with the possibility of a larger triangle pattern (as shown in the hourly chart), but I'm strongly leaning toward the idea that even if we see a larger rally here, it will be wave (2) of C and ultimately make the picture even uglier for the bulls.  Trade safe.

  1. Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was
    super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for inexperienced blog writers? I'd definitely
    appreciate it.
