"If you've been finding this market somewhat frustrating, this is to be expected given that SPX has now been stuck in a trading range since May of 2022. On the plus side, you can at least be thankful you haven't had to write about it three times a week for every week of those 10 months. It's the little things in life that make it all worthwhile!
So, not surprisingly, there's still not a lot to add to the last ~125 updates or whatever it's been. Last update noted:
SPX did officially capture the red trend line, so it can bounce up to break last month's high from here, or it can bounce in a small fourth wave and then go on to form a fifth wave, which would give us a larger impulse down.
SPX indeed bounced but gave no indication yet whether this is a fourth wave or the start of a return to last month's high. If the current rally is a micro fourth wave, then bears would probably like to see it end shy of 4093. (There's a gap near 4070, we'll see if the market wants to aim for that or not.)
We can express both counts on one chart (below):"
"Not much to add beyond that. At some point, the market will get beyond this trading range and things will get interesting again, but until then, trade safe."
