Donald, David:
The charts certainly look terrible. If one wants to clutch at straws, one can argue that SPX closed above important support levels, but it is still dangerously close.
My question to you is whether you really believe that, if the SPX breaks through those levels on Monday/Tuesday and reach your minimum target of 1030, it will stop before 960? If it closes below the 1050 area, it will have broken all sorts of support lines, long-term trendlines, that I would consider that a clear crash signal. Is it possible that your 5 of 1 wave is not as extended as you predict? I could see a subwave count that has already completed 2, 3, 4 and 5 on Friday. We could then interpret that as a triple bottom. A good foundation for a rally.
I would still argue that Clinton, expiration week should be positive factors next week and that the Asian situation may not be such a heavy weight for the moment (well, the weekend is young and a lot can happen by Monday).
Cheers,
Phil |
