Friday's Market 03/22/2013


To say that the market is at an inflection point may prove to be an immense understatement in the coming days. While most, including myself, have been focusing on whether the market will move up or down a few points to signal the short-term direction, a move of much greater magnitude may be forthcoming. It is possible, indeed probable, that the market completed a 5 Wave sequence from 1074.77 last Friday at 1562.63, AND a 5 Wave inverted corrective Wave 2 from 1370.58 on Tuesday at 1538.57. Perhaps the equilibrium the market has experienced recently has been the result of these two large magnitude waves completing within a short time period, and within a tight point range. At the very least the market has put in a 5 Wave sequence top from 1074.77, with the implication of a fairly large move in whichever direction this market breaks out.
 
The market continued the rally from yesterday afternoon right from the open. The market reached 1552.88 near the open before the first slight pullback. This was right at the 1553 resistance level I mentioned yesterday. The resistance proved short-lived, as the market quickly broke through and rose to 1557.74 by early afternoon. After pulling back to 1553, the market rose again into the close.
The pullback from 1561.56 was a 5 Wave sequence that included an inverted corrective wave. The termination point of that 5 Wave sequence turned out to be 1545.90, higher than the actual low of the wave possible because of that inverted corrective wave. The failure for the wave to complete at the low may give an indication that this market wants to move higher.
 
 
I am still looking for a break above 1563.62 to confirm a breakout to the upside, and a move below 1538.57 to signal a break to the downside. I will elaborate more fully over the weekend.
