I think the pattern that has finally emerged on the SPX intradsy chart is a complex correction. The clues are as follows: 1.) Very choppy advance 2.) A well-defined triangle on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Wave w from Sept 26 lows to Oct 1 high was a double zigzag Wave x from Oct 1 high to Oct 2 low was a textbook triangle. Wave y from Oct 2 low to present is a single or double zigzag.
This correction has a nice "envelope" like amplitude modulation instead of parallel or converging trendlines.
