S&P 500 Daily

This is a follow up to the previous post  S&P 500 Weekly, that i posted two weeks ago.
From the action in the last two weeks i think a clearer line in the sand can now be defined. A BLUE line that was part of the original post on the weekly chart has been changed to GREEN just for emphasis. It goes through the lows on 3/16, 6/16, the breakdown and retest 8/3, 11/8 before the market collapsed and again in 2012 resistance and then support for the 1st two weeks of Jan after which the market launched higher.

I think if the S&P 500 breaks this line in the next few days, we get a waterfall event like that of August 2011.
For the Elliotticians out there, it looks like a 5th wave is due which will most likely have extensions.

S&P 500 Weekly

My last S&P 500 post on Feb 1st was blown out of the water by a 9pt overnight gap up in the futures and this post carries the same risk, if we make it above 1375 and hold.
On a side note the Emerging Markets and BRIC post that i posted on March 11th, have played along very well and are midway along an intermediate decline..

Onto the chart...
Since the 2009 bottom the S&P 500 has been in a huge blue channel after breaking down from an initial wedge, during the August 2011 bout of selling. Since the October bottom it has tested the underneath of the wedge and pulled back. I think the Bears are shy and now cautious from getting their asses handed to them every time they get their hopes up form the last few dips in November, December, March and April. The bulls on the other hand continue to BTFD as even the major declines of May 2010 and October 2011 have been recovered. From the date on the video it is apparent this has been a theme since November 2010, that has continued to work. The reason for the bull bear discussion is that IMHO nobody (from the twittersphere, except Faber, Prechter and the perma-bears, which are knackered and bloody) expect a 150 pt (Aug 2011 style) immediate drop in the S&P500 to approx 1200- 1125, which would just keep it within the larger blue trend.



In summary i am looking at the current bout of selling in the S&P 500 to intensify and continue to the 1200 ish levels while the emerging markets continue the decline.....

A few days ahead in Gold

In the few days ahead, will be looking to short gold using GLD, somewhere between 166.18 and 166.57.
1:1 symmetry and previous highs exactly at 166.57 to the cent.

Will post a stop when i pull the trigger.

Positive on Emerging Markets??

Lots of $EEM positivity on the stream. But till its gone its still here...
Big H&S. Having trouble clearing the 61.8% of the last move down.

and the big boys doing a lil bit worse..

BSE Sensex Elliott Wave Short Term Count

The BSE Sensex has seen a decline from Feb 22th to Feb 27th. The question is if this decline is a new move down or just a retracement of the move from Dec 20th. The former would mean that more downside is yet to come, while the latter concludes that the BSE Sensex is in a new bull market.

The above chart shows the smaller wave counts. Green A(5waves) and B(2waves) being the bullish count with C(5waves) to follow or Green 1(5waves) and 2(2waves) with  3(5waves) to follow. Since the count cannot distinguish between C or 3rd wave. The only option is to measure the intensity of the wave to distinguish a C from a 3.
1) If A = C, C would terminate at approximately 16859.21 or 16828.33 (S&R).
2) If the decline is rapid and goes past 16000. It is most likely a wave 3.


Trading both possibilities in the short run would mean shorting the open with  a stop at March 2nd highs @17731.88

BSE Sensex Elliott Wave Short Term Count

Happy New Year. Hope this year is either profitable or educational. Lol...

A quick review.
1. The december 6th post posted with the sensex at 16988 caught another head and shoulders pattern. The post pointed to a toping range of 17000-17200. The next day the market topped at exactly 17003.71.
2. On the 16th December in comments i posted the pattern was formed and was a 1200+ gain from the post. But i didnt instruct a close of the position, to give leeway to further downside and resolution of the pattern.
3. On 4th December i advised a top with a new short at 15863 with a stop at 16000.

So I assume as of today you are either stopped out from 4th december (-140) or still short from 6th dec (+748) or used 6th dec post and the 16th december stop and are (+988)  yeah right dream on..

Moving on
I thought i would do a post back on the 4th while still on holiday, but luckily the market decided to just drag on, so a week later i find my self looking at approximately the same targets and an extended chart pattern, and an upward move that seems to be very close to termination.
I will start the year with a 30 minute chart just to be safe, and follow it up later with something longer term when the short term resolves.

The chart is an (X)-a-b-c of a C retracement wave of larger degree. My target is 16311.58. This whole area between 16200 and 16311 looks like a shorting area. So short at will, the higher the price the better..
