AFTER the OPEN


The OPEn FUTURES at 8am promises to hit 1050, the 50% retrace line on the spx

the warning from the stars says

DONT promise more than you can deliver
the risk today is one of overdoing it

  1. With the gap up in futures, the five wave straight forward impulse count from 1080 is out,, since we exceed wave (i)

    FIRST ALTERNATIVE: Morphing into an expanding ending diagonal which will imply move to 1054 area for its fourth wave followed by a drop below 1020 to complete expanding diagonal 1 of P3, to be followed by a deep a,b, c correction up for 2.

    ALTERNATIVE TWO: Still in P2, doing another zig zag to above 1080. Now in (a) of the zigzag to be followed by (b) and then (c) up above 1080.

  3. Let me add the THIRD ALTERNATIVE, very bearish

    - Doing (i), (ii), i, ii

    (i) was 1080.15 to 1045.85
    (ii) to 1063.96
    i of (iii) to 1019.95
    ii of (iii) , since then

    EWP , 10th edition, page 40, re Leading Diagonal, talks about confusion between LD and far more common series of first and second waves.

    Well if you followed most of the elliotwavers this weekend, you were(are) waiting for a 5wave down that never materialized and thus missed this rally up.
    It's not elliotwave that has a problem but those that use it.

    ps. I like Jay's astro work though.

  6. Jay:

    What is your work -astro, cycle etc.- indicating for the short term?

    ReplyDelete
  7. 1063.34 will eliminate THIRD ALTERNATIVE of a series of one, two posted earlier.

  9. Carl,
    I have yet to see an EW trader
    make money real time using EW.
    Lots of analysis but no real money.
    IMHO

    Venus 150 Neptune
    disillusion replaces those rose colored glasses

    Basically it means a change of attitude is coming this friday

    Jay

    Oct 2nd was the LOW i had expected for that date

    Oct 7th to open on 9th as described b4 should end at spx 1063 maximum.
    given the Spt 23 rd high of 1080

    60 pts lost
    x 55% = 33 + 1020 to 1025@close = 1058 - almost there today

    x 62% = 37 + 1020/1025 = 1057 to 1062

    We are very close to both of those levels right now


    jaywiz index yesterday was .26 = quite bearish
    PC ratios were mixed

    activity index dropped from 133 at 9:30 to 66 at 11am with 30 to 60 min delay

    victor,,

    very good point!
    i agree. especially very short term intraday trading. virtually impossible.
    Jay had this bottom pegged a week ago as did a few others but it seemed to me that elliotwave got in the way of it and botched the trade up.
    and it was virtually all of the elliotwavers linked to this blog and others who got caught as well.

  12. Yes Carl
    Elliott wave is SUBJECTIVE until AFTER the event

    Jay
    YES. Oct 2nd was the BUY as previously indicated.

    NOW, where is the SELL ?
    Could be today at 11;38
    OR
    Thursday at close
    midnite high tide
    power index at 600
    9th calls for
    UNWELCOME news

    Overall it looks like we get a high this AM,
    Some selling into the morning of the 8th & one more push higher into the close
    when some heavy selling comes in thru Monday, 12th

    ONE more REVIVAL on 12th AFTER 10;30 Jaywiz index topping on the 13th similar to Spt23rd action@ 2;32pm

    then the bear has his day next week thru the 19th.

    A day of reckoning. I have the high of the day at about 12:25. If we don't break 1069, the bear count is still alive. Let's see.

  14. Coy,Jay,

    I second the motion. Around this level is the "Rubicon" between bull and bear.

    My larger cycles are still on SELL but at key confirmation levels. I favor the Bear resolution pending evidence to suggest otherwise.

  15. Vic, where do you stand. Ravi, cal, jay have spoken.

    No "oomph" to the high hit. The EUR/USD having peaked, we're likely to slide the rest of the day.

  17. I have posted several times. I am flat as of this moment. I made 220
    qqqq points in Sept. = 56 es points.
    I will be patient and not give any back.

  21. I am out of my short here at 1051

    ReplyDelete
  22. For what it is worth, we had a five wave impulse down from top. LD and (i), (ii), i, ii scenarios still not out.

    ReplyDelete

  25. Reza,
    whats the sense of my periodic updates, if you dont read them.

    I dont knwo HOw to answer, because I dont know When went short

    Secondly i dont know YOUR paramaters for risk

    I mentioned they should sell off today
    recover some tomrrow
    low on 8th in AM.

    BUT I do expect a recovery again
    latest would be Thursday close

    Best day for shorts most likely FRIDAY into Monday at 10:30am

    Play it as close or as loose as your comfortable with

    Jay
