The triangle count I posted earlier got crushed almost immediately after I posted it, lol. But that does not change the bearish count overall. This count makes sense from a practical EWP perspective, but does not from a purist fundamental EWP perspective. The reason is that 2nd waves are usually sharp and deep rallies while 4th waves are usually flat and shallow affairs. This count above is opposite of that as wave (ii) is flat and shallow and wave (iv) is sharp and deep. Although the count does not violated any EWP rules, it does contradict EWP guidelines for wave characteristics. But if I tweak the bars a little, we get a cleaner count in my view...
When using closing lines instead of intra-bars we get a much more ideal wave count. Note that waves ((ii)) and ((iv)) are much more proportionate, and that the sharp rally late last week aligns nicely with 2nd wave characteristics (wave 2). An alternate view of this count would be to replace wave 1 with A, and wave 2 with B. Either way, wave 3 or C down will be impulsive, strong and probably quite deep.
The market action Friday was pretty bad for the bulls. The market was very fractured with varying markets and sectors up with others down most of the day. This type of "fractured" behavior often occurs at tops. That type of behavior doesn't always result in in tops, but most tops do exhibit this type of behavior. If the bulls don't come out strong on Monday and hold the gains throughout the day, I expect this market to resume its decline in wave 3 or C quite soon.
