4:30 pm EST: The SP-500 price opened flat from 3512, climbed quickly to the days high at 3528, then drifted lower all day to hit 3481, and close at 3488.
Notes:
- NYMO: The NYMO dropped significantly today from +30 to close near +15.
- VIX: Today the VIX closed up 1% at 26.40. Need to see the VIX drop below 20 for the grinding minor 3 of major [3]-P1-C3 wave higher.
- Chart Pattern: There is a confirmed bullish Inverse Head and Shoulders (IHS) pattern on the 15-min chart with HEAD at 3209 and Neckline at 3430. The typical IHS reaches at least the 62% of the base height on top of the neckline (3430 + 0.62(3430-3209) = 3567. The full measured move of the IHS is 3430 + (3430-3209) = 3651. Note, if the IHS 3430 neckline is closed below, then the pattern has ran its course and the minor 1 or minor B wave top is in place.
The primary (white/green) count is that minor 1 of major [3]-P1-C3 up is underway off the major [2] low at 3209. Minor 1 wave should target the area slightly above the all-time high of 3588 near 3640. Wave minute (1) of minor 1 completed at 3397. The minute (2) played out as a running flat pull-back (a=3324, b=3421, c=3354) where c=a at 3358. The minute (3) ended at 3550, where (3)=1.23(1) = 3555,. The minute (4) wave is underway that could have ended today at 3481 or will need to drop to the 38% Fib at 3465. Once minute (4) is complete, the minute (5)=0.62(1) target is 3581 to 3597. Once minor 1 of major [3] completes near the 3588, the minor 2 wave should retrace to 50%/62% Fibs at 3404/3356. Note: The primary (white/green) count is valid above the 3397 minute (1) high.
The alternate (blue) wave count minor B of major [2]-P1-C3 wave looks to be complete at 3550, just above the 88% Fib at 3543. The minor C of major [2] down will make a new low below 3209. The target area is where minor C = A at 3171 and then the rising 200-day SMA at 3122 and the 38% Fib retrace of major [1], which is at 3058. Note: this alternate (blue) wave count remains valid below the major [1] high of 3588.
House Keeping: 1) The wife and I leaving for a short vacation to Florida on Sunday Oct 18th through Thursday Oct 22nd. There will likely be no blog updates those days. I will be back at home on Friday, Oct 23rd and will make a blog update. As always I will monitor the markets through my iPhone while I’m away from home. I’ll comment and respond to comments when I can.
