Everyone Hates B Waves

After pushing higher in three waves yesterday, the market turned lower once again today, slipping slightly beneath Tuesday’s low. While a pullback was certainly not unexpected, that minor break complicates the near-term count, leaving us with several potential paths in play.And that’s the nature of B waves, they rarely stick to the script. They twist, turn, and frustrate both bulls and bears alike, making them one of the most unreliable segments of the Elliott Wave sequence.At the time of this update, price is still testing the micro resistance zone.

Note Of Caution - Market Analysis for Nov 6th, 2025

As I was reviewing the metals charts this morning, I wanted to send out a note of caution before I left for the day. While my preference has been for a higher (b) wave bounce across the metals complex, I have noticed that both GDX and GC can be considered as completing a (b) wave triangle this morning.  While I do not have the same potential in silver, it still is enough evidence of a potential completing a (b) wave that requires me to send out this note of caution.Should we see an impulsive break down in GDX below 68, in GC below 3935, and in silver below 47.

Waiting for the Downside Structure

Today the market bounced higher after completing a fairly clear a-b-c move down into the overnight lows. This was not terribly unexpected, as the full pattern into the overnight session suggested we would see a bounce today. The big question at hand now is whether this current move up will ultimately lead to new highs or if it’s simply a corrective move higher that still has another downside leg to complete.Because we have likely been dealing with a larger diagonal pattern in this region, making all of the price action corrective in both directions, we really won’t have an answer to that question until we see what the structure of the next move down looks like.

Overnight Low Important - Market Analysis for Nov 5th, 2025

As I am now traveling, I am gong to keep this week's metals update rather simple.  And, also, due to the rally we have seen since the overnight low was struck, it lends to the simplified analysis.I am still seeking a c-wave rally to complete a larger (b) wave in the respective 4th waves of the various charts. As long as the overnight low is held on the next pullback across the charts, then I can view that c-wave rally as having begun.  My preference is for a higher rally in silver relative to gold, and GDX may come somewhere in between.

How Much Further Downside?

With the market remaining below the high struck yesterday, we completed the b-wave triangle, and have followed through with the downside expectation in the c-wave.  The question now is if this decline is done?At this time, I am still unsure if this current decline has the dreaded one more lower low.  But, even if we do see that lower low, the bigger picture remains the same.  It still centers around the lack of evidence that a top has indeed been struck.  We have no strong reversal indicating a diagonal has completed, nor have we broken support.  In fact, this current decline is still holding the initial support region outlined on the ES chart.

Just Going Sideways - Market Analysis for Nov 3rd, 2025

When the market moves sideways for a period of time as we have now seen since Thursday, it forces us to consider a triangle is taking shape.  And, the type of triangle this seems to be tracing out is a b-wave triangle.So, I can keep today’s analysis rather simple.  As long as this morning’s high is respected, then I am viewing us as being in an (e) wave of a b-wave triangle.  That basically means that as long as we remain below this morning’s high, pressure will be down and a c-wave can develop over the coming day or so which can test the lower end of the initial support region.

Still Over Support for Now, but the Air Is Thin Up Here

Today, we saw the market move slightly lower in what continues to be overlapping action to the downside. While I can make a case for a potential leading diagonal with this most recent micro lower low, it’s far from a reliable pattern at this stage. I would need to see further confirmation before putting much weight on that interpretation.For now, my focus remains on our key price support levels to guide us in determining whether a top has been struck. As previously noted, this market remains very stretched from both an Elliott Wave and Fibonacci perspective, making the air quite thin at these elevated levels.

Quick Update - Market Analysis for Oct 30th, 2025

I want to reiterate in this update that my preference is still to see more of a "bounce" in the metals chart for a bigger and deeper (b) wave before we begin a (c) wave decline.  However, the market has been developing potential signals that could suggest we go down sooner than currently expected.  So, I wanted to send out a quick update.The most clear picture of a more immediate downside potential is in gold.  Earlier today, I sent out the following Alert in the main room:"I am being VERY cautious in gold right now due to the other potential paths.

Getting A Bit More Complex

While the metals market provided us with another bounce, the structure of that bounce was not at all indicative of a standard c-wave rally, which would have completed a larger b-wave bounce.  You see, c-waves are most often 5-wave structures. And, thus far, all we have seen is another 3-wave bounce.  This leaves the door open for several paths.Let’s start with gold.   As you know, I am trying to track a (b) wave bounce, which would set up a (c) wave decline.  However, if we are going to see a (b) wave bounce taking us higher in the coming days, we are now at important support for a b-wave within that structure.

Market Testing Micro Support

I really do not have much to add to yesterday's analysis.  But, today we did see a pullback towards the smaller degree uptrend line, as we are holding over the initial support box. So, as it stands as I write this update, nothing has broken.  And, a VERY stretched market can continue to choose even higher levels to strike before we finally complete this very long uptrend.  As I said in metals as we were striking the highs, you have to determine how much risk you want to take up here.
