Market Weekend Update - SHORT TERM By: Tony Caldaro | October 7, 2017
We have been tracking the nano and pico waves quantitatively that create each of the Micro waves as they unfold. We have not added this labeling to the hourly chart, to avoid clutter. But we do discuss the wave pattern of each unfolding Micro wave in the daily/weekly write up.
Micro wave 3 from the SPX 2417 low has continued to unfold in a relatively simple pattern. Nano 1. 2455, Nano 2. 2428, Nano 3. 2480-2447-2509-2488-2553 so far. We still need to see an end to Nano 3. Then after a Nano 4 pullback, another push to new highs to complete Nan0 5 and Micro 3. But this still doesn’t end the Minor 5 uptrend. We continue to take it just one wave at a time. Short term support is at the 2525 and 2479 pivots, with resistance at the 2575 and 2594 pivots. Short term momentum spent 5-days extremely overbought, then broke below neutral on Friday. Best to your trading!
