SHORT TERM: gap down opening to end year, DOW -179
The market gapped down at the open for the second day this week.
It continued yesterday’s pullback, from Tuesday’s SPX 2082 high, until it hit 2046 in the first hour of trading.
Then the market rallied back to unchanged at SPX 2063 to close the gap before heading lower again.
During the initial decline we noted the SPX nearly totally retraced this week’s rally from 2044-2082.
This suggested, and we updated the hourly count, that the rally from the absolute low of SPX 2005 on 12/18 might have been the beginning of the rally to SPX 2082.
This would produce a potential Minor 1 count: 2023-2006-2067-2044-2082.
And Minor wave 2 is currently underway.
Either way, the SPX 2044 level still looks like an important level for this potential uptrend.
Will take a better look for the weekend update.
Happy New Year everyone and best to your life/happiness/wealth in 2016.
