Tuesday's Market 05/21/2013


I thought that yesterday afternoon’s 1663.52 low completed an inverted corrective wave from 1661.49. As it turns out that was Wave 1 of E from that high.


The SPX did move higher at the open, but managed only to get to 1672 before turning lower. The index moved below 1663.52, falling to 1662.67 before reversing course once again. The SPX moved steadily higher until it hit another, you guessed it, all-time high at 1674.07. After a minor pullback the SPX moved higher again, surpassing 1674.07, and rising to 1674.93. From there we saw another pullback, this time taking the SPX to 1668.70 near the close.

As I mentioned above, yesterday’s 1663.52 low completed only Wave 1 of E. This morning’s rise was Wave 2 and the decline from that high resulted in Waves 3, 4, and 5 completing. This did complete the inverted corrective wave, and from there the SPX moved higher. The SPX completed a sequence at 1674.93, and then what appears to be a corrective sequence to 1668.70.

The current market set-up is quite interesting. My expectation has been that the SPX should complete a 5 wave sequence from 1581.28, which would be followed by a small correction, and then another 5 wave sequence higher to complete the sequence from 1074.77. The market has continued to complete sequences, and then go on to form larger degree sequences while moving higher. The first of these sequences completed at 1635.01, the second at 1661.49, and now the SPX has started forming another sequence. Waves 1 and 2 of the current sequence have completed, with Wave 2 being the recently completed inverted corrective wave. It is possible that today’s rise to 1674.93, and decline to 1668.70 were Waves 3, and 4. If this is correct, Wave 5 of this sequence should complete between 1675 and 1677. This would appear as a diagonal triangle. I would then look for a move below 1668 to confirm this scenario.  This would then be the start of the corrective sequence lower.

If the SPX moves above 1677, it would be most likely that today’s rise to 1674.93 was simply wave 1 of 3. This would indicate a further move higher before a correction.

Thank you.
