Index of the day:
Brief analysis of the last report:
I anticipated a minor correction in the market; however, it predominantly traded sideways. Currently, we are presented with two potential scenarios, and I will illustrate one using the S&P 500 index.
Indexes momentum
Weekly: The Stochastics are still bullish, indicating ongoing upward momentum in the market.
Daily: The Stochastic are in OB zone the reversal might be this week. The index should be sideway to down for the next couple days.
S&P500
Today, I would like to focus on the S&P 500 and discuss alternatives. I want to share both bullish and bearish charts with you. Let’s begin with the bearish perspective:
Scenario 1: The analysis points towards a substantial downside in wave (3) at the Intermediate degree of ((3)), assuming the Primary degree. It’s important to remain cautious, as breaching the high of wave ((2)) at the Primary level would render this projection invalid.
Scenario 2: In this alternative scenario, the wave IV cycle might have concluded during the week of October 10, 2023, reflecting a time duration approximately 10 bars longer than the wave II cycle in 1933. As the wave V cycle unfolds, it’s crucial for this alternative that the SPX does not dip below the endpoint of wave (4) at the intermediate level, specifically at 4,103.78 points. Additionally, confirmation would be sought through a daily close above the wave (3) at the intermediate level.
What next:
Momentum is currently high on the daily timeframe and nearing a reversal. While the index has been extended, I approach bullish positions cautiously. As mentioned in the previous report, I refrain from selling the market until a clear market direction is evident. Specifically, a daily close above the (3) wave at the intermediate level would signal a bullish stance. Conversely, to adopt a bearish stance, I await a market reversal. In such a scenario, I am prepared for a significant sell-off, initiating a sell position with a stop loss placed above the potential (2) intermediate point.
