SPX and COMPQ Updates
Last update we looked at a detailed micro count, and I very slightly leaned toward the interpretation that we might have a more complex flat (ultimately still due to resolve higher), but while the micro count was correct, the interpretation of it as a flat was not. It was instead the noted WXY. Luckily, that was obvious immediately upon the open (as I noted live in our forums).
On the bright side, I'm happy that I did have the micro count correct, which was no easy task in itself. WXY's are always a pain, because the double-three nature means they can mimic many other patterns:
Bigger picture, we're getting closer to the long-term target in COMPQ, and again, we'd expect all markets to (more or less) "rally together" or "decline together."
SPX is about to tag another channel line:
In conclusion, the larger wave structure is finally reaching the inflection point of a potentially complete fractal, but -- due to the potential for continued fifth wave extensions -- we will continue awaiting a larger impulsive decline before trying to call a top, which is an approach that has served us well for a while. Trade safe.
