Few More Squiggles - Market Analysis for Jun 6th, 2024


The market has made it abundantly clear that the 3-wave pullback seen last week was a 4th wave, which now makes the current rally a 5th wave.  However, the initial move off last Friday’s low was a relatively clear 3-wave structure.   Therefore, it has left us with the conclusion that a 5th wave rally off Friday’s low will likely take shape as an ending diagonal.

As we know, a 3rd wave in an ending diagonal typically targets the 1.236-.1382 extensions of the first two waves.  And, that region is noted on the 5-minute SPX chart with a blue box.   Thus far, we have come up short.   But, we may make an attempt to get there into tomorrow.

Thereafter, I would reasonably expect a 4th wave pullback.  And, it is quite common to see overlap in waves 4 and 1 within a diagonal.  Therefore, I would assume we can drop back down towards the 5300SPX region for that 4th wave pullback.  That should set up one more rally pointing us to the bigger target box overhead on the right side of the 5-minute SPX chart for wave [5].  And, this should finally complete this rally and provide us with a 5-wave turn to the downside.

These are my general expectations over the coming week or two.  Yet, until we see a clear 5-wave decline, I am still strongly urging you to not get terribly aggressive on the short side.   But, I will also note that once we complete this smaller degree 5-wave structure off Friday’s low, I believe we will have a VERY full wave count to the upside.  Yet, I still am seeking confirmation.
