S&P 500 ~ EOD ~ 29 September 2014

As long as we are below 1984 I think the next target should still be 1944ish:

S&P 500 ~ EOD ~ 25 September 2014

The SPX lost 32 handles today after breaking the support at 1984:


The next target should be 1944.

S&P 500 ~ EOD ~ 24 September 2014

Once again, the SPX turned at the support at 1984ish:


As long as this level holds, the medium-term trend is still up. If it breaks, a decline to 1944ish is likely.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 18 September 2014

It's rather difficult to tell whether the decline to 1980 was a fourth wave, as shown in the chart below, or only a second wave of a much larger motive wave up.
Whatever the case may be, I think the next stop is 2040ish.

S&P 500 ~ Intraday ~ 16 September 2014

The bears tried repeatedly but eventually failed to break 1984ish convincingly. The SPX broke out of the declining channel today and should now head towards the all-time highs.

Gold ~ 15 September 2014

Gold has been declining since early July and is quickly approaching the strong support at 1200. If this level holds, we should get a bounce to the declining trendline, currently at 1325ish.


If 1200 breaks though, a sell-off to 1000 could occur.

S&P 500 ~ Pre-Market ~ 15 September 2014

The SPX is trading right at the support at 1984ish. As said in earlier posts, if this level holds, the current correction is only short-term and we should see higher prices soonish. If it is convincingly broken though, a decline to 1945ish is likely.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 9 September 2014

The SPX hit the support at 1984ish today. As long as this level holds, I still think that we'll see higher prices. However, as long as 2010 isn't broken, we're in neutral territory.

EUR/USD ~ 8 September 2014

The sell-off in the EUR/USD continues and we're quickly approaching the very strong support area at 1.275-1.28. I expect at least a small bounce at this level.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 8 September 2014

It looks like 1990 was the low of wave [iv]. Hence, we should be in wave [v] now. As mentioned in some of my earlier posts, a rally to the rising trendline, currently at 2030ish, should follow next if 2010ish is broken convincingly.

ES ~ Intraday ~ 5 September 2014

The S&P futures continue to fluctuate between 1990-1993 and 2010:


It looks like we're on our way to 2010 again.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 4 September 2014

The SPX has fluctuated around 2000 for the last two weeks and hasn't decided yet whether to continue the rally or not. I still think that a continuation to 2040 is possible. However, if 1984ish doesn't hold, 2011 is most likely a medium-term high. In that case, the market should move towards the lower trendline currently sitting at around 1930.

EUR/USD ~ 4 September 2014

As mentioned two days ago, if 1.31ish breaks, 1.28ish should be the next target.

GDX ~ 3 September 2014

After two horrendous years, gold miners have stabilized and rallied about 20 % so far this year.


It looks like the GDX has formed an inverse H&S over the last 18 months.

If 28 is broken, we should see 31 next.

S&P 500 ~ Pre-Market ~ 3 September 2014

Overnight, futures rallied and hit new all-time highs at ES 2011.

The last six days the SPX traded within a narrow range around 2000. If we can break 2005ish convincingly today, we should leave this range and head towards the trendline at 2030-40.

EUR/USD ~ 2 September 2014

My initial target for the EUR/USD after we broke 1.37 in May was 1.34ish. The EUR/USD hit this level in late July and then spent three weeks at this support level before eventually breaking it and selling off to 1.315ish:


As you can see in the chart, 1.31-1.32 is another support level. If it breaks, 1.28ish seems to be the next target. If it holds though and we can rally above 1.322, we should see 1.335ish again.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 2 September 2014

As mentioned yesterday, it looks like we are at the end of a Primary wave (black [3] or [C]). If that's the case, a big correction should follow (like in 2011) or even a new bear market could start.



In the last three years, there were nine pullbacks. Four of them were around 84 points, three of them around 130 (the largest was 156 points). Moreover, no pullback declined below the low of the previous pullback, i. e. we got a series of higher lows (and higher highs).

Hence, unless we get a decline that exceeds 130ish points and dips below 1905 (the low of the previous pullback), the uptrend is intact and thus, pullbacks should be bought.

S&P 500 ~ Elliott Wave Count ~ 1 September 2014

Hi all,

It's been in a long time since my last update! I posted my last Elliott wave count ten weeks ago. In the meantime, the SPX climbed 50 points and reached the 2000 level. Despite this, my count is still valid and thus I haven't changed anything except for adding the proper subwaves:


It looks like the rally which started three years ago is soon coming to an end as we seem to be in a fifth of a fifth of a Primary wave. The waves actually line up pretty well with the end of QE in October which will likely have a negative impact on the market.

Medium- and short-term counts follow tomorrow morning.
