Possibly charting breakout of channel and recovery of correctionExtreme bullishness prevails. Vix- dropping off to almost nothing.
What looks like a tiny Elliott wave 2 formed Friday AM but quickly dissolved into bullish enthusiasm.
If this is the breakout move gathering strength, then the chart shows a possible course. I believe we may have entered minor wave 3 of the V(v) 5th wave already ('third-in-fifth wave').
I lost some bank shorting into the countertrend wave today then was horrified to see the Bulls stampede up to 25740 before settling back. I do NOT recommend shorting anytime soon! Any pullbacks now will be brief and slight, no way to gain anything and all risk. Go long! Purchased Dow index calls on the slight pullback in late afternoon.
Futures bulled higher after the close and I expect higher still Monday. I would not be surprised to see another 300-point gainer. Expect the SPX to break 3000 on this runup, by November or sooner.
As always, this is not investment advice and all comments are only intended for education and amusement. Good luck!
Fifthwave
$KEY SelfKey: THE FIFTH WAVETo be fully transparent let me admit that I'm brand new to the application of Elliot waves and for all i know this could be a poor candidate, however it does appear to at least fit within the key parameters of an impulse wave and is thus a possibility. I'll list this below but I'd also point out that the macd, stochastic rsi, accumulation/distribution are all turning north, so we should at least be in line to test 380 in the very near future.
The three
rules (of an impulse wave) are:
Wave 2 cannot retrace more than 100% of Wave 1.
Wave 3 can never be the shortest of waves 1, 3, and 5.
Wave 4 can never overlap Wave 1.
Obviously keep a close eye on this one or set your SL's in advance. We've seen what this can do in a short period of time. GLTA
