be careful with those triangles

    Instead of looking for those downtrend lines to hold , I expect to see more upside.

    In the SPX. the wave 2 may not have topped at 1332.09 but only the A wave and then yesterday's low at 1302.58 was a nice fib 78% wave B and this is looking like a sweet 5 wave C heading up now....

    From yesterday's lows,  I only see wave1,2 and 3 completing now(thought it may already be done, I was looking for 1329.62 target), so I expect a nice wave 4 correction to make thos bear wedges play out and then a final 5 wave to over 1332 {if wave C=A looking for 1340.41 but may overshoot to fill the gap and make a better double top for a wave 2 high....}

    Perthx - that would be

    Perthx - that would be the bearish view. Could also be forming a larger FLAT with Wave A at 1294 and Wave B now playing out to be followed by a Wave C down instead of a Wave 3.  It all depends upon how you view the initial decline from 1344 to 1294 (was it an impulse or a corrective double zig zag). 

    And don't forget about the other bullish views......

    good point

    but I am also considering some cyclical studies a friend has showing a possible top into the 4th or 12th or maybe both!! Just trying to keep all the optional counts in front until the market shows the direction it wants.

    I count the decline off 1344 as a 5wave impulsive move as my prefered ...so far!!

    In terms of cycles etc,

    In terms of cycles etc, Bradley Model projected a turn date of 17th (which is accurate +/- 2 days). So far, this has held up with the top in at 1344 on 18th.

    The 17th Feb turn is a "major" turn highlighted by the model and will persist through to around the end of Q2 

    However, todays strength is slightly worrying and hopefully Bradley hasn't been impacted by POMO aswell!!!!!

    bradley turn on the 17th

    could be a low too ...just never know...waiting on triggers to trade in any case

    could be yes. I hope

    could be yes. I hope my stops don't get hit. It should be a top given that prices are lower now than on 17th and we have a break of the rising wedge and force/MACD etc are showing bearish signals

    BUT, today is not exactly giving me warmth for the bearish stance. If the dollar gets a bid, then it may be the turning point. But I feel tomorrow is make or break either way given its NFP

    not sure on the NFP.

    not sure on the NFP.  In the past the runup prior to NFP has led to selloffs???

    "11 days"

    March  4, 2011 is an "eleven" day....    Might get a catistophic wave down.....  as Prechter or Mchugh might say.
