Heinz,

>>weren't you looking for SPX 900, only a few days ago? did the recent move change your view, or are you going to adjust the time frame?

My plan was for the Intermediate 4 correction (correcting for the bull market since 12/94) to be a zig zag down to SPX 900 area in December.
A of 4 was supposed to be the leg down from the high in July to 10/18, and the current rally C of B of 4.
C of 4 was supposed to be a shorter, sharper move down, compared to A of 4.

The recent rally posed some questions, esp. the big volume last Thursday and Friday.
Maybe Intermediate 4 ended on 10/18 ? Maybe we have already started the last blow off before the MC ?
Different charts give different clues.
On the Dow chart, the down leg from July to October looks like a clear impulse, and still supports my original scenario that calls for another leg down.
The S&P OTOH looks too strong.
Indeed from 10/18 to 10/22 it looks like A of a corrective ABC, and from 10/22 to 10/26 was the B, but now the C suddenly took a life of its own.
The key to solving this problem should be the next pullback - I expect Monday to open up and trade higher then Friday's high, and then start reversing almost immediately.
If the pullback from Monday's high is not small (small = 15-20 S&P points) it will try to challenge 1310 level.
If the S&P trades under 1310 then it will be a big confirmation that the rally from 10/18 was indeed a corrective B.
OTOH if the pullback is small or medium (1340 area) and the market can work its way to a new local high (higher then Monday) then the rally from 10/18 will be an impulse and will suggest another leg up after a corrective move.

Another support can come from European markets -

The CAC is nearing its upper band of the LT rising wedge (from 10/98) at 4957 on Monday. A reversal fromt that area of a break up from the wedge wuold give indication.

I wrote this post in bits and pieces. I hope it makes sense. Got to go.
