SPX and BKX: Bull Count vs. Bear Count
Last update discussed the possibility that wave 4 was completed, but also discussed the potential problem regarding the appearance of a corrective low (b-wave low). Today I've annotated a few additional charts to give traders some signals to note and signs to watch for -- and I'm going to let the charts take it from here.
Let's start with the SPX 1-minute chart, which contains discussion about several details:
Bigger picture, nothing to add:
BKX kept us looking lower right up through Monday, but there's no crystal clear outlook here just yet (one could, of course, simply subscribe to the bull interpretation of a completed correction, as long as one manages entries and risk properly -- nothing wrong with that and NOT TRADING ADVICE). The chart which follow this one will show what bears need to do if they want to keep fighting here:

Near-term, IF this was a simple sharp ABC down, then it has enough waves to be complete. If BKX sees another low, then the decline will be impulsive, and we'd probably have to assume a more drawn-out corrective phase was underway:
In conclusion, we're approaching a moment of truth for the market now, and we'll likely be able to add more confidence to the near-term bull or near-term bear interpretation fairly soon. Trade safe.
