Break Of Support - Enjoy Your Jello

Clearly, we have broken the IMMEDIATE set up for the purple count.  And, that has opened the door to the more direct move lower.  So, I want to be clear about what I know and what I don't know.What I am relatively confident of is that the market is likely going to be heading to the lower lows we have been discussing for quite some time.  What I am not confident about is the path that is taking us there. Right now, this weakness suggests that we can be heading to the lower lows in a more direct fashion. Yet, I do not have a reliable wave structure that makes me confident in that perspective.

Failure Leads To Moar Jello

I wanted to send out a quick update this evening, as the rally today off the overnight low really counts best as a 3-wave rally.  And, 3-wave rallies are usually only corrective in nature.  This now causes a problem for the purple count as we needed a 5-wave rally off the recent low to provide us with the ideal (i)(ii) i-ii set up pointing us higher.Now, at the same time, I cannot say that I see a clear impulsive structure pointing us lower, as the decline from the recent high counts best as a corrective 3-wave structure as well.So, with 3-wave structures in both directions, it puts us back into jello.

Support Held - Market Analysis for Jun 4th, 2026

The title just about says it all and I am going to keep this update very simple.  Today’s low held where a 4th wave of smaller degree would be expected to hold.  Therefore, I am viewing it as wave (4) within wave (v), which you can see on the attached 5-minute SPX chart.The next upside target is the 7646SPX region, which is, astoundingly, the 4.00 extension off the end of March low.  So, to remind you again, we need to beak 7500SPX, with a follow-through below 7389SPX, to make it likely that the bigger pullback (or something much more bearish) is in progress.

Market Down Today, But Still Remains Over Support For Now

Today the market traded lower as we moved into the lower end of the resistance zone for the move up off of the May 19th low. That move lower is still only a three-wave structure and is trading well above even the upper smaller-degree support levels. So until we see a break of that support zone and/or see a full five-wave move down off the highs, we still do not have any indication that we have put in even a local top just yet.

Purple Is Facing Its First Test

I decided to write the metals report now as we seem to be sitting on a support region. As we said over the weekend, we were looking for a 2nd wave pullback in the purple count.  And, thus far, the market has provided us with that expected pullback.  But, I am again going to remind you that we are still likely within a larger degree corrective wave.   And, unless the purple provides us with a full (i)(ii) i-ii structure, followed by a break out over the high of waves (i)/i, we have to view this action with a bit of a jaundiced eye.

Momentum Seems To Be Waning

As the market continues to make new highs, the overall momentum seems to be waning, as evidenced by the drop in the angle of ascent of late.  This seems to have caused price to be peeking out from the uptrend channel created during this rally from the wave (iv) low, as seen on the 5-minute SPX chart.   Yet, we are a bit short of the 4.00 extension as soon on the 60-minute chart.Yet, the only thing that has really changed from yesterday is the fact that we are starting to seemingly break the uptrend channel I just noted.  Otherwise, there really is not much more I am able to add to the analysis at this time.

No Weakness Yet - Market Analysis for Jun 1st, 2026

With the market again going sideways for the last day and a half, it resolved that action to the upside.   So, clearly, no support has yet been broken, and the market continues to squeeze higher.With the market now inching even closer to the 4.00 extension in SPX (7646SPX), we are within 30 points of that target as I write this update.  Moreover, there is a larger degree trend line overhead as well in the same region, which can be seen in the attached 60-minute SPX chart.Overall, there is not a lot for me to add to the analysis, other than highlighting the continued negative divergences evident in various technical indicators.

Sideways Led To A Pop

With the market popping higher today this seems to be the final segment in the wave (v).   Therefore, when we break back below the last micro-consolidation – which is basically the 7500SPX support level – then that is the initial signal that this structure has completed.Ultimately, we still need to break down below 7389SPX, with follow through below 7320SPX to confirm that we are either in the blue wave 2, or the red a-wave.  But, please recognize that we are now striking the 3.764 extension off waves i-ii in this rally off the end of March low.  To say this is extreme is likely understating it.  So, of course, risk continues to rise.

Defining Moment For Evil

The evil purple count is now at support in gold, and this is the last opportunity I am giving the market to either prove that evil count, or to let us know that we are going to be heading to the lower targets in a more direct fashion.IF you look at the 60-minute gold chart, you will see the 4400 region as the support I have outlined by the red support line.  Should the market see a sustained break of that support, then it becomes likely that we are heading down in wave 3 of the c-wave, pointing us down to the 3550-3850 region.

Sideways Today - Market Analysis for May 27th, 2026

For the most part, the SPX has been going sideways for the last two days.  Moreover, depending on how you draw the channel, it may still just barely be holding on to this uptrend channel we have developed since the low struck on May 19th.  So, this could easily be a consolidation before it makes one more push higher to complete wave (v).  I must reiterate how hard it is being an analyst and knowing how incredibly stretched this market is, yet still suggesting this could push even higher.  In fact, I posted a chart of the NQ this morning and noted how we have basically struck the 4.382 extension of waves 1-2 off the low struck in late March.

My faith in God and my faith in Avi and his team. God lead me to this service over 10 years ago. For a decade I have heard Avi point his bat at this very moment in time calling this S&P level. Though the years I have witnessed him point his bat months, even years before metals hit their highs and lows with almost perfect big picture accuracy. Against every other analysts opinion. I have seen him bullied relentlessly on his public articles on SA and stick to his guns and proven so correct with no one ever apologizing or admitting he called it.

My AUM has grown exponentially because of you and I can't thank you enough. My biggest regret is not signing up sooner! You've done more good than you will ever know.

I’ve subscribed for 5 years now and I have to say I see that you’ve been right on this the whole time. Who would’ve thought gold and silver would’ve rallied with rates this high for this long and the markets continued higher as well. Always thought your charts were good but always thought in the back of my mind that rate cuts and other news actually led. So now that I’ve admitted defeat u are free to gloat. Well deserved

I worked on trading desks at top investment banks for 10 years, then traded on my own for another 8. I've seen 100s of research from the best analysts in the business. Avi and EWT is the only one I'm willing to pay for right now.

“I was 100% in equities and been killing it for 2 years, but I heeded your warning and took everything off the table. I've been cautiously trading your recommendations and now when everyone I know is getting wrecked, I'm still profiting. Thank you so much for what you do, my family and future are safe because of it.”

This service has not only made me money in trades but equally important it got me out of the market before the meltdown.

"Today, I achieved my highest weekly profit ever ....I see this as a testament to the power of the guidance available here. I ignored all narratives and traded the charts with discipline. I set clear parameters for each trade, immediately placing OCO (One Cancels the Other) orders with both stops and limits. I made some adjustments as the charts evolved, but kept the orders in place, and allowed the process to unfold. Sincere thanks to all the analysts and members who help make this such an incredible community—especially Avi, Zac, Mike, Levi, and Garrett. I'm incredibly grateful!"

CNBC had a stat this morning that over the last 20 years 86% of money managers/hedge funds have underperformed the market. They couldn't figure out why that’s the case given how 'smart' these people are. . . . I know my performance since joining the site has skyrocketed!
