All I can say is "Wow". That was some serious selling today.
If the bulls are going to pull off new highs, I only see two ways that this can be accomplished from an EW standpoint.
For now 1190 may be a target for a bounce if the market finds support at the 50% retracement of the Jun 2010 low to May2011 high. 1190 is approximately where this third leg down is 2.618* the first (see the third chart below for the Fib extension).
And keep in mind any rally that takes the market back over 1295 before 5 waves are completed down will once again delay any bearish count.
Either a very bullish nested 1-2 i-ii up (which is very questionable) or...
One final wave C push in this double zigzag up.
This is how I would count the waves if a top is in. Notice how a wave 3 low at 1188 would equal 2.618* 1? This is also the same level as a 50% retracement of the Jun 2010 low through May 2011 high.
