Chart Pattern: Double Top at 4100, neckline at 3906 and target at 3712 (Hit 3764 on Dec 22nd)
Wave Counts:
- The primary (white/green) wave count is the completion of minor 1 of major [1]-P3-C3 as a leading diagonal at 4100, where minute (5)>(3)>(1). The minor 2 wave may have completed at 3764 just below the 50% Fib of 3796 or might still need to test the 62% Fib retracement at 3723 (alt blue). The initial minute (1) of minor 3 wave up should target the 3950 pivot area. Note: The primary (white/green) and alternate (blue) is valid for minor 2 above the P2 low at 3492.
- The alternate (red) wave count is that the P2-C3 wave that began in early 2022 is still ongoing and entering its final leg to new lows at the 62% Fib of price (3190) and time (Feb-Mar 2023). P2-C3 is tracing out a large double Zig-Zag, major [Y]-[X]-[Y]. Major [Y]-P2 completed in June at 3637 and major [X]-P2 completed at 4326 in August. The major [Y]-P2 wave lower has been underway since August and has a [Y]=[W] target of 3147. Within major [Y], minor A dropped to 3492 and minor B rose to 4101. Now minor C of major [Y] is headed below 3492, where minor C=A at 3267. Within minor C, minute (1) may have completed at 3764 or might need to test the 3727 pivot. Assuming minute (1) completed at 3764, the minute (2) wave up target is a 50% Fib retracement at 3912. Note: The alternate (red) count is valid below 4101.

Incredible amount of shorts options taken out yesterday.
These single day options in 2022 have ready distorted things.
$CPC 1.91
$CPCE 2.40 ( that is just nuts!)
So the gamblers are over 2 to 1 short into today!

Tune into CNBC and the Barry Bannister (Stifel, Managing Director and Market Strategist) interview now.
First major analysist I’ve seen that agrees with my primary (white/green) wave count. He’s calling for a rally in the first half of 2023 to at least 4300 (major [1]-P3 wave). Then a major [2]-P3 correction in the second half of 2023.
Every other major analysist is call for down to 3200 in the first half of 2023.
I make my bones and my $ being the Contrarian! 🙂

Shorts are losing big time early today.
IF this breaks above 3848, the shorts will really get roasted!

My call is that Tuesday, Jan 3rd is going to be a +2% to +3% up day, as institutions load up the favorite stocks for 2023.
Early this week positioning has been all about selling some of the biggest winners (Generals like AAPL) to offset the biggest losers and get prepared to have cash to buy the market in January.

I think the SP500 might get pinned here around 3850 into late today and Friday. That’s been the rumor area all week of some big end of the month options plays max pain.

Subscribers who have been with my service from near the beginning in year 2009 know the importance of the “hidden Fib of 88%”.
Yesterday the QQQ hit the 88% Fibonacci retracement of the move up from Oct 13th to Dec 13th.
The QQQ “had to hold” this 88% Fib is the primary (white/green) count was to playout.
So far the QQQ reaction there has been great and is bullish.

Fun Fact from Year 2008/2009:
The QQQ bottomed before the SP500 in Oct 2008 and did an 88% Fib retracement into March 2009.

If had the time (which I don’t as I’m about to leave town for the New Year’s weekend), I’d love to count the number of times CNBC mentions the word “recession” on air today or any single day. I’d bet the over/under is near 20+!
