While studying charts this weekend, I discovered a very interesting support confluence, which INDU tagged perfectly on last week's decline. Coupled with the price action on Friday, this tells us that bears probably want to be cautious here -- because all that means this is an inflection point where the market could reverse higher.
Long-term, this is something of a no-man's land... if the larger wave c of B ended, then we'd ultimately expect the 2018 lows broken -- but that doesn't mean the market can't bounce around for several weeks first. Especially if last week's decline had an extended fifth wave (which I believe it did) and extended fifths are notorious for being followed by complex corrections.
Near-term, if this is part of a larger expanded flat C wave down, then wave (1) of C may have completed last week. I've also added a bull count that we can't rule out (an ending diagonal for c of the larger B):
In conclusion, unless and until INDU/SPX can sustain breakdowns of their noted support zones, I think bears want to tread carefully. If wave (1) down has completed, then a vicious 2nd wave bounce may be forthcoming. Of course, if SPX instead sustains a breakdown, we'd have to presume the current wave is still unfolding. Fortunately, we do seem to have a relatively clear dividing line to work with. Trade safe.
