January 12th, 2022: SP-500 Chart Update

Posted by pugsma on January 12, 2022

5:00 pm EST: The SP-500 gapped up from 4713 to 4728, quickly hit 4749 (days high), dropped to 4707 (days low) and rallied the close at 4726.

Key Market Comment: It’s possible now that the P1-C3 top is in place at 4819 on January 4th, 2022. An important technical indicator here is that the NYSE A-D Line Cumulative $NYAD | SharpChart | StockCharts.com) that failed to make a new high along with SP-500 and is now rolling over hard. This nearly two month long negative divergence on a key market indicator of underlying strength. The NYSE A-D Line cumulative almost always negatively divergence significantly a key market top. This can correct itself, however it going to take very broad market rally of all sectors per the primary (white/green) wave count, which is calling for wave (3) of minor 3 move much higher.

Wave Count Options: The alternate (blue) count should be considered the base case (middle of the road) scenario with the highest probability (i.e. 50%). The primary (white/green) is 30% and the alternate (red) is 20% probable.

  1. The original primary (white/green) wave count is calling for a powerful bull wave (3) of minor 3 or minor 5 of major [5]-P1 that began from 4582 and will move much higher (5331 target) for a P1-C3 top sometime in the summer to early fall 2022. The minor (2) wave competed at 4582, near the 78% Fib retrace of 4567. The first wave i-(3) looks to headed for a target near 4798.  Note: the primary (white/green) wave count remains valid above 4582 and would be confirmed on a break above 4819 and then above 4906 (ED max).
  2. A new alternate (blue) wave count that can squeak out one more slightly higher high than 4819 as an ending diagonal major [5]-P1. The minor 4 wave of major [5] ended at 4582 (above the 78% Fib retrace of 4567) and should lead to one more higher high than 4819 for minor 5. This new slightly, higher high than 4819 can not exceed 4906 for the ending diagonal to remain valid (i.e. M5 < M3 < M1). Within the minor 5 wave, the minute (a) wave looks to be headed for 4798, where v=i. Note: The alternate (blue) count remains valid above 4582 and would be confirmed on a break above 4819.
  3. A new alternate (red) wave count that has P1-C3 topped at 4819 and now the P2 correction to a least a 23% Fibonacci retrace of P1 down to 4215. The major [A]-P2 wave looks to have completed at 4582. The major [B]-P2 wave bounce is underway and complete be complete 4749, between the 62%/78% Fib retrace of major [A] at 4729/4767.  Note: A break below 4582 would confirm this alternate (red) wave count.
