SPX – Continuing to Count Primary 3

  • February 8, 2010 3:33 pm

As we noted in our weekend forecast for the SP500:

“we should finish the uptrend (Minuette (ii) of [iii]) on Monday or Tuesday somewhere between 1067 and 1082.  We can then start minuette (iii) of [iii], which should be a doozy.”

This happened today.  based on this I think we finished minuette (ii) of  minute [iii] of minor 1 of Intermediate (1) of Primary [3] and we have now entered (iii) of [iii] – confirmation will be when we break through Friday’s low.   Alternatively there is still a chance that today was the b wave of (ii) – If so we should get a c wave back into the resistance zone (1067-1082) tommorrow, and then start (iii).   Which ever of the counts is accurate the trend is now down and any rally should be taken as a further bear opportunity.

Updated chart with my highest probability count below..

SP500 Elliot Wave Primary 3

 Now if we are in (iii) we should get a some major downward pressure quickly.  I’ll start to work on some projections for the next several sub waves.

EUR/USD – A short term view

  • February 7, 2010 11:13 pm

If you have read my earlier posts on the EUR/USD you will know that I have a 1.27 target on the pair, for sometime in the first half of 2010.  I realize that that is fairly useless from a trading perspective.  I have therefore put together a much shorter term analysis…

The above chart shold show the primary support and resistance levles to 1.27.  Good Luck!

AIG update

  • February 7, 2010 11:15 am

In our last post on AIG we were expecting a breakout from its triangle.  The breakout has occurred so we can select our Target price.  Chart below:

Target price is now 11 to 12.50 (although there may be a retest of the triangle first).

CREE update with target

  • February 7, 2010 10:57 am

In our last post on CREE we said that we considered that the stock had topped (at 64).   Now is the time to assign a target of where we think its next intermediate bottom will be.  First the chart:

CREE 02/07

CREE 02/07

Our Target is now 24.65 (with some bumps along the way).   Why 24 bucks I hear you ask.    CREE is a momentum stock.  If momentum stocks stop going up then they are sold.  Momentum traders also bought a lot of gold, oil, AIG, C, BAC, AAPL, AMZN – these have started to down causing Margin calls.   Selling begets selling.  The two major support lines are 39.45 and 24.65.  I think both need testing.

Update on AUD/USD

Target remains at 0.72, with a pause at 0.8.  Updated chart below:

Next Target for SPY

First the chart:

Okay, based on my flimsy Tech Analysis, I think the current bounce will end Monday or Tuesday, somewhere between 106.57 and 108.21.  This should be followed by a steep decline to 101.28 (or below).

S&P500 – Updated count for Intermediate 1 of Primary 3

  • February 6, 2010 12:42 pm

First the chart..

EW Count for Intermediate 1 of Primary 3 down

EW Count for Intermediate 1 of Primary 3 down

If this count is correct (remember it is all probabilities) the we should finish the uptrend (Minuette (ii) of [iii]) on Monday or Tuesday somewhere between 1067 and 1082.  We can then start minuette (iii) of [iii], which should be a doozy.
