    have we had enough uppage yet to complete wave 5 on the spx 30 minute chart?  Or do we need more uppage to make wave 5 correct?  thanks

    Only Wave 1 of 5 """

    Looks too short to be all of wave 5 up to me....beside the S&P just corrected almost 50% of yesterdays run up so maybe yesterday was only wave 1 of 5 up??

    By the way the Dow

    By the way the Dow corrected just over 61.8% of yesterdays gains before turning up.... I may be wrong but looks like we will see wave 5 heading higher.....

    I said last night and this morning that the market had a little room to move higher, here's the chart, resistance levels are above, 780, 800, and trendline.  these things take time to play out.  Everyone wants instant gratification, use paitence and wait for setups and reversals.  It could take a 1/2 a day or longer for the market to meander higher before it tops

    Matt my take (SPX 60 Min)

    A distribution pattern here?

    Ravun, It looks to me like we are seeing a distribution pattern here after the rally since 666 retraced 38% of the decline from January highs. What's to follow is a few days of choppy action and  a  slow decline to 38% of the latest move up. As an example of this action, I have the price action of any gold stock in the fall of last year. The key similarities are the V-shaped action during a rise and slow but steady decline. Is this your projected course of action? I am trying to make sense of this in real terms of buying and then taking profits. Thanks!

    Matt/Steve...

    I understand that wave 5s sometimes extend (primarily in commodities) but if this is a wave 5 extending, what would the EW count for this wave up look like? Instead of  having wave 3  top where you have it now, could that be the top of wave 5 and the rest since then a wave 5 extension?
