Quite a roller coaster week for such a small correction. The
market started the week at SPX 1925 and rallied to 1943 on Monday. Then it made
a choppy eleven small waves on its way down to SPX 1905 on Thursday. On Friday
it turned the whole week’s losses green. For the week the SPX/DOW
were +0.35%, the NDX/NAZ were +0.30%, but the DJ World index lost 0.9%. On the
economic front positive reports outpaced negative ones 7 to 2. On the uptick:
factory orders, ISM services, wholesale inventories, the monetary base, long
term investor sentiment, plus both weekly jobless claims and the trade deficit
improved. On the downtick: consumer credit and the WLEI. Next week we get
reports on Industrial production, Retail sales and the PPI.
Short term support is at the 1929 and 1901 pivots, with
resistance at SPX 1943 and the 1956 pivot. Short term momentum ended the week
quite overbought. The short term OEW charts are positive from SPX 1917 with the
reversal level now SPX 1921.
This current/recent downtrend can best be counted as a
complex zigzag, alternating somewhat with the irregular Int. wave ii zigzag in
March/April. Since there is no overlap between the Int. i high and the Int. iv
low the count/labeling remains the same. At Thursday’s low all four major
indices displayed daily positive divergences at their lows. This is usually a
very positive sign for a completed downtrend. We had the same exact situation
at the downtrend low in February. Naturally, the hourly charts are also
displaying positive divergences.
Support for the SPX remains at 1916, 1900, 1890 and then
1870 resistance at 1943 and then 1956.Best to your trading what sets up to be a
wild week ahead. Best to your trading!
