There is now an overlap on the futures market between this low and the 6/28 high. We would account for this by utilizing this count instead, but this is contingent upon the market becoming bullish, which I don’t know for certain whether it will, though I continue to favor the view.

It seems to me that someone is being liquidated tonight. Strange for them to sell before the Asia session even opens. So someone is being forced to capitulate (unless Russia invaded Alaska and I missed it).

If this is a capitulation low (which seems likely to me), then the whole structure can be a 1-2 of cycle (yellow) degree:

I expected the rally to fail, and that worked. And during that failure, I became somewhat agnostic because the drop hasn’t been entirely as I would have liked it to be for the bearish case. And because of that I have given close to equal weight to both bearish and bullish outcomes, but I now think I have enough information to hold a conviction.

And that conviction is bullish.

I detailed some of my initial thoughts here, and I will discuss a few more now. To summarize some of my prior thoughts, I wanted to see the meat of the move lower blast through 4000, but the meaty part of the move happened way too high, spending all of the fuel. And so here we are, having reached seller exhaustion, mere points below that level, and just barely under the 50-day SMA. That’s not a great sign, I don’t think. Because we are now due for a very big rally, and that will mean that we will have found support on 4000 and the 50-day SMA. And that is largely fatal to the bearish case.

So here we are, with a 5-wave pattern, probably now complete. It’s much clearer on futures, so I’ll use that to demonstrate it:

I posted this as a thought before, but I can’t immediately find the post (it wasn’t long ago). If I find it, I will place a link.

I am not yet convinced that we won’t have a stronger reaction to the 4000 area and the 50-day SMA. We may count “Wave 4” as completing here. Doing it this way gives us a different slope to the channel (because it’s based on the top of “3”) and we’re challenging this channel now, which wave fours typically do.

I’m not yet in the mood to get too bearish.

We are approaching equality of legs (on this count alternative) and have reached the 50-day SMA. I would expect a reaction higher near these levels.
