S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 30 October 2013

(link to previous count)
It looks like we have completed five waves from 1650. If so, we should see correction now, at least short-term. Potential targets are 1730 and 1740.

Until we decline below 1757 the trend is still up though.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 28 October 2013

No important support levels have been broken, thus the trend is still up. The wave from 1650 now subdivides into five waves hence I adjusted my count:


(link to previous count)
As you can see wave 5 might be over soon. However, as long as we are above 1740, I'm bullish.

Gold ~ 24 October 2013

Gold has been rallying over the last few days and is now approaching the resistance level at 1350-65:


A rally above this level would be medium-term bullish. Next targets were 1425 and 1480.

Dow Jones ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 23 October 2013

The rally continues:

(link to previous count)
So far, no support levels have been breached, thus I'm still bullish.

If the Dow break below 15300 though, a wave C back to this month's lows is likely underway.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 17 October 2013

The SPX hit a new all-time high today:


The last swing highs for the SPX were 1690, 1710, and 1730. So I think wave B could go as high as 1750. After that wave C to 1650 (?) should follow. Wave C should be underway if we decline below 1700.

Dow Jones ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 16 October 2013

(link to previous count)
I moved the level below which wave C is likely underway up to 15170ish from 14950. As long as we are above that though, the trend is still up.

Dow Jones ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 14 October 2013

After a short sell-off this morning the rally continued:

(link to previous count)

It's possible that we're already in wave [c] of B. However, other short-term count are possible. Other possibilities were posted in the comment section of the last post so you may want to check them out.

Dow Jones ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 11 October 2013

This is the second possibility I was talking about. Wave [3] may have finished in September. If so, we're now in wave [4] which could last several months. After that, wave [5] would follow sometime next year.

(link to previous count)
The Dow has already reached my second target for wave B.  The next target is at 15370.
If we decline below 14950, I'm bearish again and the preferred target for wave C would be 14550ish.



For the first scenario click here (shown on the SPX).

I think, I slightly prefer the first scenario, i. e. I think the correction will end rather soon. However, anything can happen, so let's see how the market reacts next week.

Have a nice weekend!

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 11 October 2013

The main problem with the short-term count I showed for the Dow Jones yesterday is that it doesn't work for the SPX. The sell-off from 1730 to 1650 subdivides into three waves (and not five).

In an earlier post I mentioned the possibility of counting wave [3]/[C] slightly differently. Below you can now see this alternative:

I actually quite like it this way. I'll show you the other likely scenario a bit later today (for the Dow Jones) so that you have a nice overview of the two possibilities.

Dow Jones ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 10 October 2013

It looks like the decision to turn neutral yesterday wasn't too bad. The Dow is rallying today and it looks like wave A or 1 ended yesterday:

(link to previous count)
Potential targets for wave B or 2 are 15080, 15210, and 15360.

S&P 500 ~ EOD ~ 9 October 2013

The SPX hit the support level at 1647ish today and rallied:


It looks like we will test 1647 again tomorrow. If 1647ish breaks, the sell off should extend to 1630ish.



Author: Patrick Eugster

Dow Jones ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 9 October 2013

The Dow dropped below the August lows today invalidating the bullish count I have been following since early September.

This bigger-than-expected correction isn't much of a problem though since I have been bearish for more than two weeks now.

(link to previous count)

As you can see on the chart I think that wave A or 1 will finish soon. There should be support at the June and August lows. Thus, I think we will bottom between 14550 and 14750. Downside should therefore be limited and thus I'm neutral now and waiting for wave B or 2 to start.

S&P 500 ~ EOD ~ 8 October 2013

The SPX broke the support level at 1670 in the morning which resulted in a sell-off to 1655 so far.


The next support levels are around 1647 and 1632.

S&P 500 ~ EOD ~ 7 October 2013

The SPX continues its choppy downtrend:


As long as we stay below 1693ish, the short-term trend is neutral-bearish. If the support area at 1670ish breaks, a decline to the September lows is very likely.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 3 October 2013

(link to previous count)

The trend is down as long as we are below 1700. If this level is convincingly breach though, wave 3 should be underway.

If 1705 is convincingly breached, wave 3 should be underway.

Gold ~ 2 October 2013

It turned out to be a good decision to wait one more day and see whether the break of 1360 will be confirmed (link to last update). The day after, gold broke below 1360 again and hit the support at 1280ish yesterday.


As long as we stay within 1280 and 1360 I'm neutral. If we get a convincing break above 1360, the medium-term trend would be back to bullish. Should gold decline below 1280ish though, I'd turn bearish and a drop to the July lows would be likely.
