Elliott Wave View: Bullish Sequence Suggests Supported SPX

Elliott Wave View in SPX suggests that the sequence in the index from December 26.2018 low remains incomplete to the upside suggests any dips should remain supported in 3, 7 or 11 swings looking for more upside. Therefore, we don’t prefer selling the index. On the short term chart below, the index is rallying higher in a wave 3 as 5 waves impulsive Elliott Wave structure within the cycle from 10/03/2019 low. Up from there, a rally to $3008.29 high ended wave ((i)) as a lesser degree 5 wave structure. Down from there, a decline to $2976.31 low ended wave ((ii)) pullback in lesser degree 3 swings.

Above from there, wave ((iii)) also unfolded as 5 waves impulse structure where lesser degree wave (i) ended at $3014.57 high. Wave (ii) ended at $2991.21 low, wave (iii) ended at $3097.70 high, wave (iv) ended at $3083.26 low and wave (v) ended at $3127.64 high. While wave ((iv)) pullback unfolded as a lesser degree flat structure where wave (a) ended at $3113.47 low. Wave (b) ended at $3125.16 high and wave © ended at $3091.72 low. Up from there, wave ((v)) remains in progress looking to extend higher towards minimum extension target i.e inverse 1.236%-161.8% Fibonacci extension area of wave ((iv)) which comes at $3138.92-$3153.86 area to the upside before a pullback in wave 4 could take place. Near-term, while dips remain above $3091.72 low expect index to extend higher.
