Support is at 1.217ish and then 1.20. If 1.217 holds, we could see another effort to break 1.25. If this happens, a rally to 1.275 and 1.32 should follow.

EUR/CHF ~ 31 January 2013
The resistance at 1.25ish was too strong to be broken at the first attempt:
Support is at 1.217ish and then 1.20. If 1.217 holds, we could see another effort to break 1.25. If this happens, a rally to 1.275 and 1.32 should follow.

SPX ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 31 January 2013
Below you can see my long-term count. It's still the same as when I first posted it (I think in 2009).
As you can see, the market is entering the area where cycle wave d should conclude. Once wave d is finished, wave e should unfold and lead the market to new lows.
For a more detailed count, please read this post.

The EUR/USD hit 1.35 on Friday:
The medium-term trend is up as long as we stay within the channel.

SPX ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 22 January 2013
The SPX is now less than 7 % away from a new all-time high. The Dow is even closer, trading about 4 % below its 2007 highs:
I've been bullish and calling for a bull market top around 1600 since mid 2010. Already in my last update in November I mentioned that the bull market might soon be over since we were approaching 1600. Back then, I thought that the market might fall short of my target. However, two months later, I think that we could still make it.
The count above shows an ending diagonal in the (C) wave position to conclude cycle wave d. My preferred target for this count is 1520ish. After that, cycle wave e to new lows (below 666) should follow. There is a slight variation to the ending diangonal count which allows for a rally to 1600 (triple zigzag (not shown in the chart)).
If we get a convincing break below 1350ish, a new bear market (wave e) is most likely underway. As long as we stay above it, I remain cautiously bullish.

EUR/USD ~ 22 January 2013
The EUR/USD has been consolidating just above the support at 1.33ish:
If we can hold this level, we should see 1.35ish next. A break below 1.33 though should lead to a decline to 1.315.
Overall, the medium-term trend remains bullish as long as the EUR/USD is above 1.315.

SPX ~ EOD ~ 17 January 2013
Finally some action! The SPX opened above the September 2012 high and then continued to rally higher and hit a new bull market high at 1485:
If we get a confirmation of today's move up tomorrow, we should see 1500+ soon. A possible target could be 1520 and then the all-time highs at 1570ish.

EUR/CHF ~ 16 January 2013
Apparently the SPX went into a coma so let's have a look at another patient that recently got out of a coma:
All of a sudden the EUR/CHF spiked up to 1.24ish, a level we haven't seen for more than a year. As you can see on the chart, the 1.24-25 area should be some heavy resistance. If breached though, we could see a rally to 1.275ish or even 1.32ish.

SPX ~ EOD ~ 15 January 2013
The SPX continues to trade around the resistance at 1470ish.
Not much has happened so far this year. All daily closes were within 1 % (the lowest was 1457, the highest 1472). Even more interesting is that the last four days were basically copies of each other: Down in the morning and then a steady climb up for the rest of the day.

EUR/USD ~ 15 January 2013
The EUR/USD quickly rallied above 1.315 again changing the medium-term trend back to bullish:
We're now already near my next target (1.35). If we can hold above 1.33ish, we should get to 1.35 on the next rally. Above 1.35 there isn't much resistance until 1.38ish and 1.41ish.

SPX ~ Pre-Market ~ 14 January 2013
Overnight the ES rallied back to Friday's highs at 1471. By now we're near the levels where we closed on Friday though, so the SPX should open more or less unchanged:

Silver ~ 11 January 2013
We got a pretty huge drop in December but it looks like silver is now trying to bottom out at the support at 30$:
If 31ish is broken, we should see a rally to 33. Should 30 be breached, the next objectives should be 28 and then the very strong support at 26.

SPX ~ Pre-Market ~ 11 January 2013
The SPX is still trading around the resistance at 1470ish. The bull market high is at 1474.51. If we convincingly break it, 1500 should be the next objective.
Thursday, January 10, 2013
SPX ~ EOD ~ 9 January 2013
The SPX opened above 1458 and then rallied to the resistance at 1465-70ish:
We continue to trade in a tight range of about 15 points. A break below 1448 should lead to 1426 (open gap). If we get a convincing break above 1470ish though, the next target should be 1500.

SPX ~ EOD ~ 8 January 2013
We didn't quite get to 1449 but we got the rally to 1457:
As I said before, if 1448-49 is breached, we'll most likely decline to 1426. A break above 1458 on the other hand should lead to a rally back into the resistance area at 1465-70ish.

SPX ~ Intraday ~ 8 January 2013
The SPX is approaching my first target (~1449):
I think we could see a bounce there. A possible target is 1457-58.
If the support doesn't hold though at 1448-49, the next target should be the open gap at 1426.

EUR/USD ~ 8 January 2013
I don't really like that the EUR/USD broke below 1.315 again. Thus, I'm now neutral after being bullish since mid-end November.
A break of 1.315 should lead to a rally to 1.35. As long as we stay below it, 1.285ish might get retested.

Gold ~ 7 January 2013
Gold broke out of the triangle I showed you in December and hit my target (1630) on Friday:
If 1630ish breaks, 1550ish should be the next target. Above 1700 we should move up to 1800 again. As long as we remain between these two levels, I stay neutral though.

SPX ~ Intraday ~ 7 January 2013
The market continues to trade just below the resistance area:
I'm still looking for a correction to 1448 and probably even 1426.

Previous RIMM update: http://www.wavaholic.com/2012/06/rim-update-11-june-2012.html
It's actually a chart I did for a reader but I thought I could also share it on my blog. (The chart is about one week old but not much has changed since then.)

USD/JPY ~ 3 January 2013
The USD/JPY continued its rally in December:
As you can see we're near the resistance level at 88ish. If the rally stops in this area and the Yen puts in a reversal candle, I'll turn medium-term neutral (I've been bullish since mid October 2012). If that's the case, a correction to 84ish seems likely.
SPX ~ Intraday ~ 3 January 2013
The SPX is now at the resistance area at 1465-70:
I think we could see a correction over the next few days. Potential targets are 1448 and the open gap at 1426.

SPX ~ Intraday ~ 2 January 2013
On Monday the SPX turned at the support 1400ish. Today, after the US has been saved again, the SPX is already trading above the December high:
If we hold above the December high, we should rally towards 1470ish next.
