Market At Next Inflection Point After Finally Breaking Down

After taking the long road and making us wait for the expected break lower, the market is now sitting at the next key pivot/inflection point to the downside. If we can break through this region, it would provide further confirmation that we are indeed following the primary white count lower as part of the larger wave 3 of (c) down.With that said, until we see a break of this next pivot level, I still cannot fully rule out the yellow count. I will note, however, that today's breakdown has made that path even less probable than it has been over the past several weeks.

Is A Lower Low Out Of The Question Now?

Well, to answer the question in the title, I would say “no,” but the action we are seeing in GDX has made it more likely since we have broken through 77.So, let’s start with GDX. In order for us to see a lower low, I had to come up with a VERY creative count. And, when I say a “very creative count,” it means it is not something I would be trading aggressively. Rather, it simply means that if we are blessed with a lower low you would simply add more positions to the long-side.

Market Still Keeping Us Waiting

The market is trading flat on the day after moving down at the open and then back up in the afternoon. We are still trading under resistance, and the action up off of the low still remains corrective in nature. This action keeps the parameters I laid out yesterday unchanged, and as long as we continue to remain under resistnace my base case is still that we will see this resolve lower before breaking out to new highs.

Market Taking the Long Road Down?

Today, the market turned higher after testing last week's lows at yesterday's close, following the purple path that I laid out in yesterday's update. We are currently still trading under the resistance zone for that path on what remains corrective wave action off last week's low. So, as long as we continue to hold under that resistance zone, my base case will remain that we see this resolve lower to fill out a larger ABC pattern off the highs.If the market is able to break through resistance and move back over last week's high, it would open the door for a more immediately bullish resolution.

Market at Key Inflection Point, but Pressure Remains Down

After moving higher overnight and into the morning session, the market turned lower, and we are now testing last week's low. That low represents a fairly significant inflection point, and if we see a break of that level, it would suggest that we have begun the next leg down of this move. If we manage to hold that low and turn back higher on five waves, then we may still need to push back over today's high before turning down once again. I will note that even under that scenario, since the move up off last week's low was clearly corrective, the pressure will still remain to the downside as long as we remain under the larger-degree resistance zone overhead.

The Market Can Remain Sideways Longer Than You Can Remain Sane

Overnight, we tested the high that was struck on 7/10, only to be followed by a sloppy move lower. We are still over the key support zone I have been laying out over the past several days, and yet under key overhead resistance. So with that, the market continues to move sideways on what is still very sloppy and unreliable action, leaving us yet again in the same spot from an analysis perspective and with the parameters still unchanged. As shown on the ES chart, I still have support sitting in the 7548-7485 zone.

Truncated Bottoms - Market Analysis for Jul 16th, 2026

I would probably state that truncated bottoms in EW structures are not reliable in the same way that I view leading diagonals as being unreliable. But, as of now, there is some potential that this could be seen in the metals complex. And, yes, I have seen this before in metals.But, if you have been reading what I have been saying of late, then you know my preference is to be layering into positions down here. I am personally still leaving dry powder for lower lows, as they complete their patterns more often than not.In gold and silver, we are seeing the potential for those truncated bottoms.

Market Going Nowhere Slowly

Once again, the market traded below the previous high and over support, leaving us in limbo once again. With that, I still have very little to add to the previous analysis and parameters, so once again, I will reiterate what I noted in yesterday's update. There is really very little change to the parameters I laid out yesterday, so I am simply going to reiterate what I noted then.As shown on the ES chart, I have support sitting in the 7548-7485 zone. If we hold that zone and push back over the 7633 level, we are more likely following the yellow count, at which point the initial overhead target would come in at the 7800-7920 zone.

Market Leaves Us Hanging for Another Day

After moving lower yesterday, today we saw the market move back higher. However, after what looked like a strong open, it faded back down quite quickly. We have since been grinding higher through the afternoon session; however, the structure of that move higher is very sloppy and not typically what we see when the market is ready to make a sustained break higher. In the end, we are left in a very similar position to where we were yesterday, still trading above support and below the previous high. Until we see a break below support or above those highs, we remain stuck trading between the lines and in a bit of no-man's-land.
