S&P Ready For New Up Move Or The End Of The Upward Correction?

Published 05/25/2012, 05:44 AM
S&P having bottomed around the 1300 area, has made a double bottom 1291-1295 and is moving back up to test last high of 1328. The downward sloping channel from 1415 has been broken. For me the move from 1415 has ended. So what now?

SPX CHART 1
Bullish scenario: S&P has finished 3 waves down from 1422 and starts now a new upward wave to break the highs and go towards 1510.

Bearish scenario: S&P has finished 3rd wave down from 1422 and will now make a 4th corrective wave. This wave should not overlap low of 1st wave (1357,38). Targets for the end of wave 4 are 1335 where A=C or near 1358 where A * 1,61=C.
SPX CHART 2
Looking at a smaller time frame we noticed last time the possibility that if the low of 1291 was not broken, the last up move could be counted as a 5 wave up and a new upward move would follow. The market looks like it is ready now to break that high (1328) after the double bottom. Again  the form of the rise will strengthen one of the two scenarios. For me I like to keep things simple. So if I don't see 5 clear waves up or down I will not choose sides. In pre market things look certain that 1328 will be broken upwards.


Concluding, the index is moving upwards according to plan and will soon clarify if this is a new up move or another upward correction.
