Market Weekend Update - SHORT TERM By: Tony Caldaro | April 7, 2018
As noted above, the five wave rally was: 2619-2574-2672-2650-2672. There was a weak 5th wave, so support could be between the wave 1 high and wave 2 low (2574-2619). The Fibonacci support levels did not hold during Friday’s selloff: 2599, 2613, and 2627, as the SPX dropped down to 2584 before rebounding some into the close.
Should SPX 2574 be broken to the downside, then this recent rally is probably just part of an ongoing Int. iv correction. The SPX will need to get back above the mid-2600’s to turn things positive again short term. Short term momentum ended the week quite oversold. Best to your trading!
