A Clouded Market - Market Analysis for Mar 2nd, 2026

Part of my job is not just to simply provide cut and dry Elliott Wave analysis.  You see, in doing my job, there are times I must read messages being sent to us by the market action, which can assist in my primary job of providing analysis.  Let me explain.The market had a potential 1-2, i-ii downside structure in place (albeit with a shallow wave ii), which means we had a set up for a 3rd wave down coming into today.  And, we even got a negative catalyst to ignite that 3rd wave down.  Yet, the market did not take advantage of that set up.  Moreover, the futures declined down to a 1.

Just A Reminder - Market Analysis for Feb 28th, 2026

Many of you may have noticed that I did not mention a single word of the Middle East in my weekend analysis.   I am probably alone throughout the entire internet in that regard.  And, the reason is that the market is likely going to do as it is set up to do.  To drive this point home, I challenge each and every one of you to show me an instance when a war breaking out was a “cause” for a market decline, and I can probably show you just as many examples as it was a “cause” for a rally.

Market Remains in No Man's Land

Today we saw the market turn sharply lower and then find support into the afternoon session. We are still trading well under the HOD but have yet to break micro support to the upside, which still leaves a number of possible paths on the table as we head into the close. I will note that I think the Nasdaq is painting a slightly cleaner picture at the moment, but we will need to see how things follow through in the days ahead before we really have a better idea as to the market's intentions as we move into March.I have cleaned up the ES chart a bit and, unfortunately, have to show three potential counts for the time being.

Setting Up The Next Leg Down

As I outlined over the weekend, the silver chart was providing us with the clearest path as to how a b-wave can potentially complete.  And, I would say that this is still true.   So, let’s look at the smaller degree chart in silver as our guide.From the weekend update, we were looking for the market to minimally continue this rally towards the 93 region, which is the .500 retracement of the initial decline off the all-time high in silver.  Today, the market approached the 92 level and has seemingly backed off.

Decision Time - Market Analysis for Feb 25th, 2026

For this afternoon's update, I am simply going to repost two alerts I presented in the room today, as it really lays out how I see the smaller degree structure right now:10:25AM Alert:These two paths are now coming to a head.  We have moved through the pivot on the SPX structure, which normally suggests we are moving higher in a wave iii of 3.  But, there are a number of issues here.  First, we are approaching the 1.00 extension, which could be all of the a-b-c of a corrective rally as shown on the 15-minute ES chart, which is also approaching the .764 retrace of the initial 5-wave decline.  That leans to a bit more of a bearish interpretation.

Market Holds Support, Pushes Higher, But Remains Beneath Overhead Resistance

Today we saw the market do exactly what it needed to do to keep both scenarios alive. Price came down into the key support levels outlined in yesterday’s update, held firm, and responded with a push higher. That said, while the bounce is constructive, it is still corrective in nature, and importantly, we remain under overhead resistance.As it stands, the rally off the recent low is only three waves. With that being said, because the red count is structured as a larger Ending Diagonal, it does not require a five-wave move to remain valid. That keeps the red count very much in play here. However, without five waves up, the structure of the next pullback becomes critical.

Market Pushes Lower but Continues to Hold Key Support

We saw the market move lower overnight, retrace that entire move in the early morning, and then roll over sharply once again. As of this writing, we are sitting just above key support, which keeps both the bullish and bearish counts alive for now. As we have been noting over the past several sessions, the price action in this region has been extremely sloppy, making it difficult to lean too heavily in either direction.Adding to that uncertainty is what I am counting as a somewhat incomplete topping structure for the potential wave 2. That lack of ideal structure reduces confidence in the bearish white count, though it does not invalidate it.

Context Is Important - Market Analysis for Feb 21st, 2026

This market has been frustrating.   What’s more so, it has been frustrating since 2022.  But, the question is why has it been frustrating?  Well, normally, the markets move in standard 5-wave structures which makes prognostication and trading so much easier.  But, since 2022, this market has been taking shape in waves of 3, which are much more like corrective structures, and are much more variable and difficult to navigate.   This is the nature of the beast with which we have been dealing over the last 4 years.  Yet, understanding your environment provides a huge advantage.  You see, when you know you are in an environment of 3-wave structures, it tells you that you cannot be as aggressive as you would otherwise.

Cloudy, With A Chance Of Diagonals

Well, up until now, I have given the benefit of the doubt to the bulls.  However, that benefit of the doubt is starting to erode.With the lack of follow-through to the upside, we have been reducing the probability that the bulls can still take us higher one more time before the bigger correction begins.  As of the time of my writing this update, the only path I can maintain for the bullish follow through is via a leading diagonal.  And, as you may already know, I do not view them as strong trading cues.Yet, the bears are not doing much better, as any potential for a wave i down is also only left to a leading diagonal structure.

I Can Only Give To You What I Can See

I am presenting you with three charts, all telling me somewhat different stories.  So, I am just going to get into the charts.Starting with gold, while I can fashion an argument to claim that this b-wave has completed, I cannot say that I would wholeheartedly believe it.  It would have made much more sense if the market had begun this decline from the February 11th high in impulsive fashion.  Then I would be able to more strongly consider that this b-wave has concluded and the c-wave has begun.  But, that is not what we have seen.

My faith in God and my faith in Avi and his team. God lead me to this service over 10 years ago. For a decade I have heard Avi point his bat at this very moment in time calling this S&P level. Though the years I have witnessed him point his bat months, even years before metals hit their highs and lows with almost perfect big picture accuracy. Against every other analysts opinion. I have seen him bullied relentlessly on his public articles on SA and stick to his guns and proven so correct with no one ever apologizing or admitting he called it.

My AUM has grown exponentially because of you and I can't thank you enough. My biggest regret is not signing up sooner! You've done more good than you will ever know.
"AAMilne" - Trading Room
I’ve subscribed for 5 years now and I have to say I see that you’ve been right on this the whole time. Who would’ve thought gold and silver would’ve rallied with rates this high for this long and the markets continued higher as well. Always thought your charts were good but always thought in the back of my mind that rate cuts and other news actually led. So now that I’ve admitted defeat u are free to gloat. Well deserved

I worked on trading desks at top investment banks for 10 years, then traded on my own for another 8. I've seen 100s of research from the best analysts in the business. Avi and EWT is the only one I'm willing to pay for right now.

“I was 100% in equities and been killing it for 2 years, but I heeded your warning and took everything off the table. I've been cautiously trading your recommendations and now when everyone I know is getting wrecked, I'm still profiting. Thank you so much for what you do, my family and future are safe because of it.”

This service has not only made me money in trades but equally important it got me out of the market before the meltdown.

"Your service and insight is phenomenal, and has definitely changed my outlook on the market. I’ve been actively working on recruiting new members to your service. It’ll save their financial life."

"Today, I achieved my highest weekly profit ever ....I see this as a testament to the power of the guidance available here. I ignored all narratives and traded the charts with discipline. I set clear parameters for each trade, immediately placing OCO (One Cancels the Other) orders with both stops and limits. I made some adjustments as the charts evolved, but kept the orders in place, and allowed the process to unfold. Sincere thanks to all the analysts and members who help make this such an incredible community—especially Avi, Zac, Mike, Levi, and Garrett. I'm incredibly grateful!"

CNBC had a stat this morning that over the last 20 years 86% of money managers/hedge funds have underperformed the market. They couldn't figure out why that’s the case given how 'smart' these people are. . . . I know my performance since joining the site has skyrocketed!
