Sept 24th, 2010: Update 3 – EOD – IHS Neckline Break-Out
Posted by pugsma on September 24, 2010
6:00 pm EST: In honor of the bullish “Underdog” E-wave bloggers (i.e. Tony Caldaro – The Elliott Wave Lives On, David – Trade Your Away Out, and Alphahorn ), please enjoy this song by Spoon, “The Underdog”.
8:30 pm EST: The flat or expanded flat for wave (2) shown as an alternate on the update 15-min will become valid if the SP-500 breaks below the 1137 pivot. The flat would start as a 5-wave down from here (1149) to 1123, c=a. The expanded flat would rise up to 1155 and then drop to 1113, wave c=1.62*a. Let’s keep and eye this alternate next week if if there is any weakness below 1137 and wave (2) requires more time.
SP-500 15-min chart (updated to show the flat alternate count):
4:35 pm EST: Yesterday was head-fake break-down of the large inverse head and shoulders neckline. Today was the confirming break-out. The IHS target is 1251.
Looks like a small ascending triangle formed at the end of the day. I’m expecting this wave i-(3) to extended up to 1155 to 1158 early Monday. The primary count is the wave (2) low was put in yesterday at 1122.79. The SP-500 is now in wave i-(3) of 3-[1]-P3 up. I’m expecting this wave i-(1) to top out here near 1155 and then produce a wave ii-(3) put back to about 1139 (50% retrace) and hold the key 1137 pivot support. Wave i-(3) would be 32 points, so a typical wave iii = 1.62*i => 1139 + 52 = 1191. There should be a consolidation triangle near the 1177 pivot and finally the target for wave v-(3) is in the 1200 to 1220 area. Also, keep in mind in that in a wave (3)-3 the pull-backs, even for a wave ii-(3), should be very small.
The only alternate count I see right here, is the this rise to 1149 is part of a 3-3-5 flat for wave b-(2), and we’ll see the SP-500 re-test 1123 in a wave c-(2) early next week before beginning (3) up. But this count a much lower probability count as long as the SP-500 stays above the key 1137 pivot.
Notice on the daily chart with the 13 vs 34-day EMA, since the bull cross on Sept 10th, the 13-day EMA has moved up to 1124. This 13-day EMA was at 1119 yesterday and is one of the reason the market bounce off 1123. In a strong bull run the SP-500 should respect this 13-day EMA after the bull cross over the 34-day EMA.
It’s time for some football. Have a great weekend !
