Addendum To Today's Update


With the drop today really only counting best as a leading diagonal, I want to reiterate that I really do not trust leading diagonals.  So, I would want to see a break down below 4430SPX to make the downside much more likely now.  

And, as I posted in the room, "you may be giving up a few points, but you will likely have a much more reliable trade if you wait for a break down of 4430.  OR, you can wait for a break of 4405 (the .764 extension to the downside), and set your stops just over the ,618 extension in the 4425/4430SPX region.  This would be the least risky trade imho."

The other point I want to make is that if the market does break out over 4515SPX instead of taking the downside path, then I have to bring back an alt (4) count, which I have outlined in purple.  It would mean wave (5) will continue higher in the end of a diagonal, as an a-b-c structure, and I have outlined that path in general on the 60-minute chart. 

The reason I am putting this out is purely because of the lack of a solid 5-wave Fibonacci Pinball structure down off today's high.  And, it makes me at least warn of the potential IF, again, IF we do take out 4515SPX.  I want you to at least have that in your mind based upon today's decline.

For now, the point remains the same.  As long as we remain below this week's high, I am looking down.  If we break over this week's high, and follow through over 4515SPX,. it opens the door to a more direct move to the 4800SPX region.  And, it's something I have to at least recognize due to today's decline structure.
