Playing Around Over Support

I can’t say much has really changed with today’s action. The market made a slightly lower low but still held over support. And, as long as we hold over support, the yellow count is still quite alive and well.But, in order to make the yellow count a much higher probability, we will still need to see a 5-wave rally back towards the highs for wave i of (v). Until that happens, this can still become quite precarious and see a break-down of support.

Last Chance To Hold As Market Tests The Lower End Of Support

Today we saw the market continue to push lower as we are now testing the lower end of support for the potential wave (iv) per the yellow count. If the market is able to hold around this region and turn higher on five waves, then we still can see this continue to push higher. However, a break of support here would open the door for a larger degree top to be in place for the white wave (b). So with that, the next couple of sessions should tell us a lot about where the market is headed over the next several months and potentially into the end of the year.

Market Held Support Overnight, But Move

Today the market moved higher after holding support overnight. However, the initial move up off of the lows did not give us a clean five-wave impulsive pattern to give us initial confirmation that we have indeed bottomed in the yellow wave (iv). With that, the door remains open to a larger top being in place per the white wave (b), but we still would need to see a full five down off of the retrace from today's low to confirm this. As of right now, this is still not the case, so the market may still need a few more days to digest this action and give us a clear signal as to which way it intends to go.

Metals Are Doing Everything Right . . And Then Some

As I posted earlier this week, there was potential for silver and gold to attempt a 5th wave off the July lows. And, as of my writing this update, gold has seen a higher high, but silver has been lagging. There is still potential for it to do so, so we will watch that carefully.GDX has not only given us 5 waves up, but the 4th wave was extremely shallow, as it hovered around the .236 retracement of the 3rd wave. And, with this extension higher now, we have the minimum number of waves in place for 5 waves up, which is exactly what we wanted to see to make it a higher probability that the next major rally has begun.

Small Change Of Plans

Needless to say, the high we struck last week leaves a lot to be desired as a completed wave v, which I mentioned yesterday. But, we have to take what the market gives us, and I now have to view wave (iii) as complete with that less than a desirable structure, as well as coming up a bit short of the ideal 1.618 extension. But, this is now how I am forced to count it.Yes, there are other interpretations as well, but I think this is the cleanest of the choices.

Getting A Bit Too Big

While I have been calling this pullback a wave (4) within wave v of (iii) (or c of (b) in the alternative count), the current pullback is getting to be a bit big for this wave (4). Yet, please recognize that it does not invalidate as a wave (4) until we break below the low of wave (2). So, for now, I am still leaving my count as this being a wave (4).But, that means we are going to need to see a rally begin rather soon or this runs the risk of invalidation. And, in truth, I cannot say that there is a better count, as the count as shown makes the most sense from multiple perspectives.
