Market Weekend Update - Short Term By: Tony Caldaro | January 19, 2019
Quite a strong rally from the Christmas low. We can clearly see five waves up on the NDX/NAZ charts. But the SPX/DOW charts still look like three waves. The first two waves we have noted in previous updates [2347] 2520-2444. Last week we noted a lot of rising but choppy activity, and thought a possible ending diagonal was forming. That idea was blown away this week, especially in the latter part. That rising choppy activity now looks like a series of 1-2’s before the SPX 2570 low.
Looking ahead we see a wave 1 (2347-2520), a wave 2 (2520-2444), and a wave 3 underway (2444-2675). Currently wave 3 is 1.34% wave 1. At SPX 2704 wave 3 would equal 1.5 wave 1, and at SPX 2724 wave 3 would equal 1.62% wave 1. There is also an unlikely wave 3 double wave 1 at SPX 2790. With wave 3 starting off with a choppy rising series of 1-2’s, it is likely to end with a choppy rising series of 4-5’s. Then after a significant decline for the wave iv of this rally, a push to higher highs should follow. Short term support is at SPX 2656 and 2632, with resistance at SPX 2731 and 2780. Short term momentum hit its highest level since July 2018. Enjoy the three day weekend!
