April 24th, 2020: SP-500 Chart Update
Posted by pugsma on April 24, 2020
3:55 pm EST: The SP-500 opened flat from 2799, rose to 2810, dropped to 2792 and rallied into the close hitting 2842 (closed at 2836).
As displayed on the 5-min chart, the SP-500 price has been range bound for 10 trading days between 2721 and 2852. In classic technical analysis this is called a rectangle pattern and the third/fourth touch of the range will typically break through and produce a measured move in the magnitude of the rectangle width (131=2852-2721). There have been three touches at the 2852 area and two at the 2721 area. So a move down to 2490 or up to 2983 out of the rectangle pattern is due soon.
The primary (green) count is that minor 4 of major [1]-P1-C3 completed as an expanded flat at 2727. The minor 5 wave of major [1] is underway that should end above 2879 to complete major [1]. Wave minute (1) of minor 5 completed at 2845 and minute (2) retraced nearly 50% to 2792. Wave minute (3) should target 2983, where (3)=1.62(1). There is a measured move target at a 3031, where 2879 + (2879-2721). This alternate (green) count is valid above the 2722 minor 4 low.
The alternate (blue) wave count is that major [1]-P1-C3 completed at 2879. The major [2] wave pull-back to the 38% to 50% Fib retrace targets of 2618 to 2536 is underway. The simplest form for major [2] is a minor A-B-C, 5-3-5, Zig-Zag. Minor A is a 5-wave move that completed at 2727. The minor B wave was a 7-wave, double zig-zag move that retraced to 2845, the 78% Fib of minor A. The minor C wave should be a 5-wave drop to the 2618 to 2536 Fib targets for the retrace of major [1]. Note: there is a head and shoulders pattern on 15-min chart with head at 2879, neckline at 2727 and target of 2575 (agrees with the 50% 2536 Fib target). The alternate (blue) count remains valid below the major [1] 2879 high.
Have a great weekend !
