If this is a Wave 4 as you describe then it should be followed
by IMPULSIVE waves back up which has yet to occur. The move
off the SPX 1044 low shows overlap. It's still possible that your
scenario could unfold but the market has yet to show signs it's
ready to impulse back up.
All traps that propelled the market to new highs had this same
look. Non-impulsive waves meandering up and raking in the
bears. Then POOF! Off to the races. I have no
idea what happens this time, but I have the same feeling now that
I'm about to be bamboozled!
Raise your hand if you've been served on the devastating "3 of
3" thesis.
Bullish bias is only after 1090 is retaken, and 1079-1084 is a
strong resistance. The market turns around at strong resistance
points. I did believe the 1 of 3 of 3 scenario, however now I doubt
it. If something is confusing or does not make sense, just ignore
it and look at what makes sense to you!
What does the DXY chart tell you (15- and 60-minutes)? If counts
are confusing, let's keep them aside and analyze the market
breadth, $vix, volume and pivots. Under 107.00 the bias is to the
downside, yet it seems the it could be retaken soon. IMO.

All bear traps looked this way

Bullish bias is only after

We will adjust if necessary

We will adjust if necessary as I discussed last evening. I discussed the fact that so far this decline is best counted as 3 waves at this time.
What does the DXY chart
