Friday 04/03/2020

The SPX opened slightly lower this morning, before moving higher, to slightly above yesterday's high to 2538.18. From there it was all downhill, as it has mostly been on Fridays. Seems like no one wants to carry their longs into the weekends. So except for a few very minor rallies, the index went pretty much straight down from 2538.18 to the low of the day at 2459.96. The SPX did then move slightly higher into the close, making it back to 2497.10 shortly before the close.


Picking up on the count from where I left off yesterday, the SPX had completed Wave 2 from the 2447.49 low, and was moving higher in what appeared to be wave 3. With the move to slightly higher levels this morning, the index looks like it actually completed waves 3 and 4 yesterday, and wave 5 of the sequence this morning. The entire sequence would the be 2447.49 - 2488.09 - 2467.68 - 2509.07- 2492.10 - 2538.18.


Looking at the move from this morning's high of 2538.18 to the low of 2459.96, it looks the SPX completed a 5 wave sequence to the downside. Wave 1 ended at 2495.78. Wave 2 was the meandering inverted corrective wave that terminated at 2487.72. Waves 3, 4, and 5 then followed at 2464.42 - 2473.97 - 2459.96.

So my ongoing count is still intact. From the 2191.86 low, the SPX completed the first wave at 2300.73. The index then formed an inverted corrective wave 2 the ended at 2360.25. My count then has wave 3 ending at 2637.01. In looking at it again today, there is a count that has wave 3 completing at 2641.39. Either way, there is a 5 wave count down, that ends at 2447.49, for the fourth wave. I'll cover that in more detail this weekend. So this count suggests the SPX will rise in a wave 5, with a target of 2749 - 2889.
