SP500 – CORRECTION DUE!

SP500 – 5 Wave Expanding-Impulse Pattern Ending Now – Correction Due!

  • SP500 is in the process of ending a short-term five wave uptrend that began from the early-may low of 2591.25 towards 2708.75+/-. A corrective downswing is measured towards 2649.50+/-

    • Tuesday’s update in our latest report stated ‘…The current intra-hourly advance from the early-May low of 2594.62 (2591.25 futures)…is developing into a five wave expanding-impulse pattern – upside targets are measured towards the 2708.00-18.00+/- area. Upon completion, this ends wave < a > within a developing zig zag pattern…’.

    That five wave pattern can be seen approaching upside completion now – see fig #1. Labelled 1-2-3-4-5, note that wave 5’s upside targets at 2708.75+/- are derived where this fifth wave unfolds by a fib. 61.8% ratio of waves 1-3.

    A counter-trend decline is perfect timing to begin wave < b > within this developing, larger uptrend. Idealised retracement levels are towards the fib. 50% retracement area at 2649.50+/-.

    Conclusion

    Current forecasts are ticking all the right boxes with pattern development following the precepts of the Elliott Wave Principle. What does this tell us? – it tells us that once a short-term correction has ended, the SP500 along with the other major U.S. indices will trend higher again. A re-test and even a slight break above the February highs seem inevitable.

      Curious if the break to 2732 is safe to
      assume that the 50% retrace level would be raised to the 2696 level?

      Dear Stultorum, Thank you for your comment. The SP underwent a 5th wave extension which pushed the index to an even higher-high ending at 2741.25
      – see our latest post – yes, that means measuring the retracement from the 2741.25 high – fib. 38.2% = 2683.00+/- and 50% ret. = 2665.00+/-.
      To explain further we will try to post another Social Media update today. Best wishes

      Thanks for the reply! Great stuff! Is there any possibility that it only retraces to the 23.6% level… ? Thanks in advance… Collin G

      Good question! A fib. 23.6% retracement is possible. However, over the years of studying Fibnacci-Price-Ratios we found that in terms of probability it is ‘unlikely’ – only 7-10% per cent corrections end as a fib. 23.6% retracement. More often when they do, they represent the first sequence, i.e. wave ‘a’ within an expanding flat correction. The second sequence, wave ‘b’ trades to a new higher-high (or lower-low) followed by the third sequence as wave ‘c’ which tests the deeper fib. 38.2% retracement level. Best wishes.
