Three Wave Zig Zag Decline Completed for SP500 + Nasdaq 100

The SP500’s decline from September’s high has completed a three wave zig zag corrective pattern into last Monday evening’s low of 2603.00. This development changes this year’s expanding flat into developing triangle pattern. Turning this into a bullish outlook from current levels through to year-end and into H1-2019. The Nasdaq 100 follows the same pattern. Ending into zig zag from October high at 6580.50 and again turning this into a bullish outlook into year-end.

This year’s declines from January’s highs have been labelled as unfolding into an expanding flat corrective pattern as minute wave 4. However, it is now changing into a triangle. See latest EW-Compass Report.

The original expanding flat patterns were labelled [a]-[b]-[c], subdividing [3]-[3]-[5]. They were requiring a five wave downswing from the late-September/early-October highs. Hence, for the SP500 from 2940.91 (cash) and 2947.00 (futures) and for the Nasdaq 100 from 7700.56 (cash) and 7728.75 (futures). But we’ve detected a visible three wave zig zag pattern unfolding in wave [c]’s decline rather than a developing five wave sequence. The two downswings from 2947.00-2712.25 and from 2824.25-2603.00 measure equally. In case of the SP500 by a fib. 100% equality ratio (see SP 500 – inset left) and for the Nasdaq 100 from 7728.75-6907.75 and 7368.50-6850.50 (see Nasdaq 100 – inset right). This fits the characteristic of the zig zag. It therefore ends wave [c] but within a developing triangle because a triangle is labelled [a]-[b]-[c]-[d]-[e] but importantly, subdivides [3]-[3]-[3]-[3]-[3].

Conclusion

These zig zags confirm a good recovery can begin as wave [d] within the triangle. As a result, the SP500’s upside targets are aiming towards 2855.75+/- and Nasdaq 100’s towards 7544.00+/- into year-end, perhaps into January. Looking ahead, the triangle confirms minute wave 4 and upon completion, wave 5’s push to record highs.
