The fact that I used closing prices means that we don't need to make an intraday new high. In fact, maybe we get Wave 5 of 5 from the mid-April low on Tuesday and Wednesday to 1663 (a failure). Then we decline sharply to 1590, taking out all of the stops between 1595-1600 as part of Wave 1 down. We then put in a Wave 2 that finishes at 1670 by Late June, thus putting in a closing high, but not an intraday high. Wave 3 down follows from there. This would fullfill my thoughts that we need a 3%+ correction on a closing basis followed by a closing high. Can a Wave 5 of 5 failure still be part of the mid-April low wave count?Bryan Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490480303778800074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547276048038789798.post-26939062407013058562013-05-24T09:13:49.712-07:002013-05-24T09:13:49.712-07:00Christian - at what point would the current declin...Christian - at what point would the current decline be ruled out as being a wave 4 of the climb starting mid-april?Bryan Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490480303778800074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547276048038789798.post-35908065909654985062013-05-24T08:28:42.571-07:002013-05-24T08:28:42.571-07:00Christian - The 11 day 30-minute S&P emini cha...Christian - The 11 day 30-minute S&P emini chart appears to have that "Leaning Tower of Pisa" look to it.. for a sharp move to your previous cycle (mid-April low) wave 2 around 1600s ... needs to happen, like today.Bryan Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490480303778800074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547276048038789798.post-76613352067772035782013-05-23T18:50:16.731-07:002013-05-23T18:50:16.731-07:00Alex, one important conclusion is as follows: a ne...Alex, one important conclusion is as follows: a new high can be one that results in a 20%+ drop if the market does not put in the following sequence: 5-10% decline, then upon climbing to ultimately exceed the start of previous decline, 3% -5 % correction, new high, 3%- 5% correction, new high. That is precisely the tape we have since September using closing prices. There is actually a second conclusion, and that is if the next correction is 3-5%, the proposed new high would have twice the probability of being the ultimate high than if the next correction is between 5-20%. If you are rooting for a long term top (like i am), you actually want the decline that we are in to be between 3-5%, but a new high after a 5%+ decline would still be an eligible top. Now here is another important subtelty... upon climbing to make said high, you have to be mindful of any 3%+ corrections along the way. If we have any 3% + corrections along the way to 1700s, then you have to check the sequence against the abovementioned first conclusion. In other words, EVERY 3% + decline that results in a new high needs to be checked against conclusion 1 .

Closing prices. That is the first caveat. I do not know yet how the data would change by using hi/low. This would imply that we need more of a correction (say, to the top of your Wave II around 1600-ish). I was trying to see if such a move could be part of your wave cycle implied by the degree you have beginning mid April. But, but, could wave 4 possibly be part of that same cycle?? I think you've suggested that any advance from here or lower would be part of a new cycle, yes? If so, what would that imply for the larger wave counts?? A "quadruple zigzag from '09 low" ? I am not an experienced wave counter, so I rely on you for that part. That's all i can say. Thanks. BryanBryan Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490480303778800074noreply@blogger.com
