Elliott Wave Option Signals - Short SYMC & Long SRCL

Short SYMC option spread

Symantec (SYMC) has been on a tear for a long time, but after Minor wave 3, we see some choppy and weak rising off the wave ((a)) low.  This is a topping structure and indicative of a ((b)) wave.  Once complete, a sharp wave ((c)) down should take place, pulling prices to the $22.60 - $24.00 range to complete Minor wave 4.  So I'm hitting it short with a put spread that will cover earnings postings early November:

Long SRCL

On flipside, Stericycle Inc (SRCL) appears to have completed an Intermediate A-B-C correction to the downside.  After a sharp gap lower, the stock has trickled down to new lows but not in a convincing fashion.  Downside momentum appears to have become exhausted and a possible inverse head and shoulders pattern may be forming.  A long signal triggered on my custom indicators so I'm hitting it long here with a call spread to target a confluence of Fibonacci retracement levels of wave (C) and the entire A-B-C move at the $95 area.  Here is the trade:
