5/25/11- EOD Update [10:42 PM Update - ES Inverted Head and Shoulders?]

[10:42 PM Update - ES Inverted Head and Shoulders?]

Target for the inverted head and shoulders is approx 1342, which could just be back at the top of the channel.

EOD Update

Last night's positive MACD divergence in ES gave me some confidence that the market would make a move for the 50 SMA today.

As posted in pre-market today, I was expecting at least an 11 point swing for ES at the market open after it's initial pullback if the second leg up would equal the first. Not only did we see 11 points but actually 18 since the second leg expanded the first by 1.618*.



ES

As I type this, ES is currently backtesting it's mid-channel, which it climbed over. We'll see what the reaction is overnight.


It's been good times with all the chop. It gives me more confidence in the Minor 4 scenario and it's suboptions.

The bulls still have their work cut out for them if they want to see new highs. Things that still need to be considered:

1. Market still withing the down channel
2. Still closed below the 50 day SMA
3. A bearish count remains in play

60 Min

Very possible this corrective move from 1370 has completed. One thing about today's bounce is we must give consideration to an expanded flat for wave b of (y).

Minor 4 Option

Minor 4 is still resolving itself and all the chop still leaves plenty of room for different options. I will say I favor this option the most at this point in time. We'll just have to keep watching.

Minor 4 Triangle

Minor 5 Expanding Ending Diagonal

I don't really like this option too much anymore but it hasn't been invalidated. Besides, it still implies the same thing as the Minor 4 option so we'll just keep watching this too.

BEAR COUNT

This count also remains valid. Should the market push higher through that horizontal line, this count will most likely be invalidated.


5/25/11 - Pre Market

Pre Market
Last night I pointed out the possible +ve divergence developing and sure enough it did. That doesn't mean price can't go lower as you can see previously a quad diverg developed before a bounce.

ES appears to have developed five waves off the overnight low. So I would expect at least another leg up at minimum equal in length to this bounce which I believe is approximately 11 points.

However, given that there are wave counts that may consider this corrective move off the 1370 down as complete, it should be watched carefully.

Given this scenario, we should keep an eye on this count that was posted last night:

5/24/11 - EOD Update [8:19 PM Update]

[8:19 PM Update]
ES

Some selling in ES tonight. I was tracking a falling wedge which may have seen a throw-under to complete the wedge. However, we must be mindful of the market's continued path within the channel.

Looks like it may have reached near the bottom now. Watch MACD for +ve divergence building.

[3:30 PM Update]

60 Min Corrective Count

A few other options with this but I just leave it as is until the market tells me otherwise. One thing having me question that triangle b (blue) wave is the fact that MACD has turned up.

EOD Update

All the options I have been presenting are still valid. The market is still chopping up and down which leaves all these options open.

The market is still within the down channel and still closed below the 20 and 50 day SMA so near term the trend is down.

Been busy lately but will try to post some squiggles later.

MINOR 5 EXPANDING DIAGONAL OPTION

MINOR 4 FLAT OPTIONS

MINOR 4 TRIANGLE OPTION

5/23/11 - EOD Update [10:00 PM Update]

[10:00 PM Update]



Remember when I made the comparison with the two similar wedges? We now may be seeing a third for ES.


[5:38 PM Update]

1 Min

Here's a 1 min chart I posted in the chat room near the close. I see a potential for at least another zigzag up to complete a double zigzag off the day's low since the move down from the intraday high appears to be corrective.

The bullish alternate is a nested 1-2 setup.

ES

As of this update, ES is bouncing slightly green off that lower trendline within that falling wedge.

EOD Update

Will be back with comments on these counts.
