Sideways Today - Market Analysis for Nov 25th, 2020

Today’s action has not really added anything to the information we have about the market. So, I am going to keep this rather simple.As long as the SPX remains over 3610SPX, it still retains potential to push higher one more time to complete wave v in the diagonal we are tracking.However, once we break below 3610SPX, then it is likely we are in the wave 2/[2] pullback. I want to wish all of you a very happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. Take the time off to appreciate your families as well as your good health.

Amazing Bullish Action – But, WHEN Will It Continue?

The market just continues to push higher and higher despite any real pullbacks. Today’s move over 2623SPX has certainly put a potentially bullish spin on the market yet again, and well before I expected it to occur.If you remember, my expectation is that we will likely see a very bullish 2021, but I expected some reasonable pullback over the last few months. But, if wave [ii] is already done, then we only saw a .236 retrace, and if wave [2] of [iii] is done, then we only saw a .382 retracement in that pullback. Both are shallow indeed.

Frustrating, Aint It!?

For the last 3 trading days, we have been going completely sideways. And, there are several ways to view this consolidation, as I outlined over the weekend.But, as to where we currently reside, the bears are fast running out of room. Today’s high either marked the completion of a 4th wave triangle, or the high for wave 2 in an ending diagonal for the larger [c] wave down in wave [2] as per my primary analysis presented over the weekend.At this point in time, I would say that the blue count of the triangle would be a low probability because it would have to be considered as an expanding triangle, and they are VERY rare.

How Deep Do We Drop?

With the market breaking down yesterday and unable to complete the next 5-wave structure, it has made it rather clear that we are likely in a [c] wave down. And, our question will be how deep this [c] wave will target?Well, much depends upon the structure of this current decline off the [b] wave high. You see, the SPX and the ES have slightly differing structures during this decline. The ES can count as a complex leading diagonal down, as I have outlined on the attached 5-minute ES chart. If this is the accurate structure, then we should continue a bit higher to complete a wave 2 into our the resistance box noted on the chart.

Can The Bulls Thread The Needle?

As I posted this morning, as well as in the room, in order for the bulls to be able to take us directly to the 4200-4300SPX region, they will have to thread the needle. And, as I outlined during the last several days, they still need to provide us with a 5th wave higher towards 3660SPX to complete wave 1 of [3] of [iii], followed by a corrective wave 2 pullback, followed by a break back out over the high of wave 1. What this really means is that the bulls have to thread that needle EXACTLY as I have outlined that set up, whereas the bears have multiple ways to still take us lower for more of a pullback.

Pullbacks Are Still Quite Within Reason – But Know Where Melt-up Takes Hold

I want to try to summarize my larger degree thoughts into this update, which I reviewed in my live video this morning, so everyone can be clear of my perspective at this time.

Extremely Bullish Set Up May Be Developing

It was reported that when John Maynard Keyenes was once asked why he changed his opinion on a certain matter, he supposedly responded: “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do sir?”Well, to date, I have been seeking a bigger pullback in the market. However, the market has been exceptionally stingy with pullbacks. And, I am seeing warning signs of this potentially happening yet again. So, it is my duty to outline that potential to you, despite my desire for a fuller pullback in the market. You see, my perspective when I provide analysis is to tell you what I see in the market, rather than what I ideally want to see.

How Bullish Are We REALLY?

With today’s market strength taking us a bit beyond the 3615SPX resistance, we certainly have to consider bullish options if the market should provide more evidence in the coming day or two.My primary count still views the current rally off last week’s low as a [b] wave within wave [2] of [iii] in the SPX. That would suggest we should be starting the [c] wave down in wave [2] quite imminently.But, today’s strength has taken this 3rd wave off last week’s low towards the 1.618 extension from the low struck last week.

Final Test Coming Up

I am posting this update early, because the market is now at an important juncture from which it can make a decision today. So, I want you to see the parameters before we begin to follow through.As I noted yesterday, as long as the market holds below the 3595-3615SPX resistance, we have a downside set up in place. Thus far, that seems to be holding.Ideally, the structure we are developing in the SPX is pointing towards a [c] wave decline to test our support box below, as presented on the 5-minute SPX chart. As long as that support box holds, then we are likely heading to 4000-4100SPX sooner rather than later.

New Floor In The Market

With the overnight action not providing any follow through for even a potential 5 wave decline off the recent high, the structure to the downside has presented as corrective thus far. This now suggests that the yellow count potential has lost even greater probability in my humble opinion. Therefore, I am now viewing our support for this bull market as likely holding the very shallow wave [ii] we have struck.Moreover, I am also moving up the floor of support for the current rally to the 3335-3400SPX region, as you can see from both chart attached.

What I love about EW is you know when things go wrong and you know when to get out of a position at minimal damage...it has helped so much in my RR work
""Kenneth_Aydt" - Trading Room" - 2019-10-03

The relief of EWT philosophy on investing has been such a gift (besides being extremely profitable) that I have to say this is the most enjoyable service offered anywhere on the internet and probably the best investment I have ever made. Thanks Avi.
""Talapus" - Trading Room" - 2020-01-27

My 401K money has been protected during this, and I'm making money in little chunks in my trading accounts. And that is all thanks to Avi, HD, Garrett, Zac, and so many great members here. Sincerely, my account and my family say a huge THANK YOU to you all.
""Franchise"" - Trading Room 2020-03-16

After this week's action and watching how Avi & company nailed the piss out of so many moves, you can't argue with me anymore about the efficacy of EW. . . Just amazing to have a methodology that works so well PLUS the guidance from Avi.
""Bcindc"" - Seeking Alpha 2020-03-09

I honestly don't know how anyone loses money on this site. You guys have the closest thing to a crystal ball I've ever seen.
""joneil" - Trading Room" - 2020-09-23

I will say this about this site and the crew in general: It is one of the most cohesive, cooperative and harmonious "work" groups I have ever experienced. Everyone's dedication is exemplary, above and beyond the call of duty. The leadership is outstanding. All the trading and money making aside, it is a true pleasure to be here. I haven't even talked about the quality of the analysis. That, I think speaks for itself. OUTSTANDING!
""Nanook" - Trading Room" - 2018-11-08

When it comes to navigating the markets, I feel like I was driving with a blindfold on before finding EWT.
""bryanjf1" - Trading Room" - 2020-08-07

Avi, you are the best strategist that I follow and you have made more prescient calls than anyone on the street. I currently subscribe to your service and am very pleased. I have been a licensed financial advisor for over a decade and worked at a number of Fortune 500 companies in my career, including usbank, Morgan Stanley, Russell investment and now am a director and lincoln financial and i can tell you that none of the so called experts have virtually an ability to determine market direction. With you insight, i have made a killing and am basing my strategies around your advice. Keep up the good work and ignore the naysayers who are missing out on your sage advice!
""Blue Chip Investing"" - Seeking Alpha 2020-04-12

Avi applies the most rigorous application of Elliott wave and Fibonacci analysis that I have seen. Add to that the invention of Fibonacci Pinball, a simple and elegant Fibonacci extension theory that I haven't seen anywhere else. It provides an almost eerie sense of direction once a second wave is identified.
""ChillyD" - Trading Room" - 2020-06-30

Top ticks, bottom ticks. Not sure if EWT has enough power to move the market just yet or bigger money is following these world class analyst. Sure is a pleasure to be in company of such great analysts.
