3/16/2020 - EOD Update
Looks like wave a had some way to go and is now challenging the wave w low. The running flat is now in jeopardy, which may turn into an expanded flat, which means wave y will travel beyond the wave w low.

3/10/2020 - EOD Update
The SPX took out the 2954 level I was watching and as previously posted the alternate count once this level was taken out is now the primary. I cannot count five waves up off the March 2009 low so the running flat/combo corrective count for wave (4) makes the most sense.
So far buyers stepped in at the lower end of the channel. We'll see if a hammer candlestick prints by the end of the week as well.
Here is a close up of the possible corrective options that could play out if we see a battle between the bulls and bears. Wave a of Y may have completed, with wave b of Y in progress.
A running flat has wave c of Y either falling short of the wave a of Y low or lower but not below wave w.
Or wave c of Y takes on a triangle after wave b completes. Let's see what happens.

2/27/2020 - EOD Update
The market flushed into the target zone and though initially found support at the 200 day SMA, eventually resumed selling below it and thus violating the count as previously posted.
I have adjusted the count to the next alternative with the invalidation point now set to 2954.13. If this is breached today, the long term bull count is not necessarily out as highlighted by the weekly chart below.
Note: I will probably revamp the degrees for the count above to better reflect what we are seeing in the weekly below.
Perhaps wave (4) turns into a running flat or expanded flat. Some targets for wave (4) is the lower end of the trend line, 200 day SMA or last low on Dec 2018.

I think it is safe to say that wave (iii) has completed. The market has pulled back nearly 8% since the closing high and AH set for more damage down to 10% or so.
If this is wave (iv), the alternation guideline seems to be in play, assuming wave (ii) is correct. Wave (ii) appears to be a sideways correction, with wave (iv) a sharp one.
From a technical standpoint, the area in the oval appears to be a good target for the following reasons:
1. Support at the 200 day SMA
2. Back test of the top end of the expanding triangle trend line
3. 50% retrace of wave (ii)
4. Support at the wave (i) high at 3027.98, which if it penetrates lower, will violate the wave (i) rule.
I guess we shall see if the market cares about any of this.
