Wednesday's Market 08/26/2015



 Following Tuesday’s market action, I mentioned the possibility of the SPX forming a semi-inverted wave from the 1879.88 low. From that low the index rose to 1948.04, and then dropped below the first low to 1867.08. This wave would suggest a move higher between 1879.88 and 1948.04, followed by a pullback within that same range, and finally a move above 1948.04.



The SPX did open higher, to 1914.56, within the range described above. The pullback that followed again stayed within that range, barely, as the index fell back to 1880.13. This would complete Waves A-B-C-D of the semi-inverted wave, with a Wave E target between 1945 and 1952. This should be followed by a pullback, before another move higher to 1980 or above. This pullback could carry as low as 1905, and still target the 1980 area.



My longer term view remains that this correction should terminate below 1725. Given the count to this point, there are a couple of important levels to watch.  At this point a move above 1993 would dramatically increase the possibility that the low is in. If the SPX fails to reach 1966, the low could be below 1725. Lastly, if the index fails to clear the 1948.04 high, it could be setting up for another major move lower.
