Charts 02-03: Jaws of Death is Complete

I am going to follow McHugh's sage judgment here and agree with him that the top of the Jaws of Death mega-megaphone pattern is now complete.

Lower targets for the coming crash are SPX 560, if the 2002-2009 lows trendline holds, or down around SPX 460 if we overshoot the megaphone on the bottom like we did on the top.  This would be a complete market retrace back to mid-1990s levels.

SPX 02-03 a.m.

The long-term count on the Yen is what convinced me -- I had been hoping for One More Leg Down on the JPY, but instead we broke its 2-4 trendline rather decisively.

There are E-W counts out there that still have us vaulting to 1900 and even beyond. McHugh is no longer looking for a higher high, and I think he is right not to do so. The Yen carry has supported equities since late 2011, and now it has completed a 5-wave move. The ferocity of this last selloff is telling us something.

The channel up today could support a halfway-back rally to 1795 by Friday close.

I have a few SPY calls I will likely sell into this.
