S&P Futures Big Picture; July 17, 2009


The S&P rallied before I thought it would, but that's no surprise as the entire rally over the past few months has barely taken a breather. This is typical of wave 2 rallies. It also makes it less likely that the alternate count is correct, which has this rally as a B wave. The projected path on the daily chart which I made a couple weeks ago is playing out. I expect a major top in the S&P between 1000-1100. Right now I am flat the stock market and will wait for signs of that major top before I consider re-entering the market. I play short term swings, but going heavily short will not happen until I believe wave 2 is over. I will update this blog once I start seeing strong evidence that wave 3 down is about to begin. It will bring about the shorting opportunity of a lifetime, and could make a savvy trader 500-600 S&P points in just a few months.

Hello:
Excellent blog, I admire your work how I have not clue about count Elliott waves.
I look for anybody what can tell when the waited wave 3 begins, and your blog it's exactly what I need.
May be I can ride it finally once in the life.
I will stay with an eye in your blog!!
Thank you.

Hey Gustavo, thanks for the comment. One thing I can say with certainty is that if a big wave 3 or C occurs like I think it will, then I will not miss it and will post the "play by play" as I see it as it's happening. I may not catch the absolute top, but I'll catch the meat of the move. It should be occuring within a couple months, if even.
