May 5th, 2014: SP-500 EOD Update
Posted by pugsma on May 5, 2014
4:45 pm EST: No change in either wave count with today’s price action.
The primary count on the SP-500 is that wave ii-(c) of minor 5 of major [5]-P3-C1 bottomed today at the 62% retrace target of 1868. The SP-500 should now make a new all-time high during the minuette waves iii and v of minute (c) of minor 5. There is iii-(c) target at 1916, where iii=1.62*i. This will complete the major [5] ending diagonal that began nearly a 1 year ago in August of 2013 from the major [4]-P3-C1 low of 1627. There is a (c)=(a) target at 1921 and the (c)=1.23(a) target is at 1937 which agrees with the P3=1.23*P1 target of 1941. Note there is a small IHS on the 15-min chart with head at 1850, neckline at 1888 and target of 1925. I suspect the SP-500 will top P3-C1 somewhere round 1921 to 1941 during May. However, the maximum extension of the ending diagonal is at 1973 and there is a (c)=1.62(a) target at 1965. Within the ending diagonal yellow trend-lines this would target the August 2014 time frame should the SP-500 decide to grind slowly higher this summer. The primary count as labeled remains valid above the 1850 wave (b) of minor 5 low, but it a break below 1814 to fully confirm that P3-C1 has topped and the ending diagonal is complete.
The alternate (blue) count is that the SP-500 completed P3-C1 at 1891 as a failed minor 5 wave of major [5]-P3-C1. This means that the P4-C1 correction is now underway in wave minor 1 of major [A]-P4. I’m looking for minor 1 target the 1814 pivot by mid-May. The from 1891 to 1867 is wave (1) of minor 1 and this move up to 1886 is a 78% retrace for wave (2). Wave (3) of minor 1 should be underway headed for the (3)=2.62*(1) target of 1825. Ultimately, major [A] should reach the 1730 pivot in July and P4-C1 should end around the 38% retrace target of 1581 later this fall. Also from the P3-C1 top at 1891, the P4-C1 waveshould correct back to where the ending diagonal began at 1627 and reach the wave 4 of previous degree at the major [4]-P1 low. It will take break above the ATH of 1897 to invalidate this alternate (blue) wave count and confirm the primary wave count.
Happy Cinco de Mayo !
