Trying To Keep It Simple

With the move down from this week’s high not counting well as a standard Fibonacci Pinball structure, it leaves us with the potential that the initial move lower was a leading diagonal for wave 1 of the (c) wave.  And, assuming this is the correct count, that makes today’s bounce a wave 2.This is where I add my usual warning about leading diagonals not being strong trading cues, as they can just as easily be a corrective structure.  It is for this reason that I seek confirmation with a clear 5-wave decline for wave i of 3 to make this structure a much higher probability in following through to the downside.

Point Of No Return

With the metals market seemingly topping out today, we may have now dropped to the point of no return.   You see, due to today’s drop, this is either going to be the start of the 5th wave to lower lows, or, yes, if we break back out over today’s high, then we will be looking at the revenge of the purple count.  It seems that simple to me at this time.I also want to remind you that a 5th wave decline in an ending diagonal takes shape as a 3-wave structure, breaking down as an a-b-c decline.

Market Continues To Push Lower, But Structure Is Far From Clean

Today we saw the market continue to push lower after moving lower yesterday as well. Unfortunately, the structure of the move to the downside is far from clear, and if we have indeed topped in all of wave (b), the initial move down has likely taken the form of a leading diagonal. While this can certainly qualify as an initial five-wave move to the downside, this structure is not the most reliable of patterns.The move up off today's low is, however, taking the form of three waves, which provides us with a bit of support for the idea that we still have further downside action ahead of us before making any new highs.

Summer Doldrums - Market Analysis for Jun 16th, 2026

Well, since not much has really happened there is really not much to add to the recent analysis.  So, I am simply going to add a couple of points from the daily SPX chart I am including in today’s update.As you can see, price has come back to the uptrend line and we seem to be hitting our heads on it as we speak.  Moreover, the MACD has not crossed up yet to even begin a suggestion that this is a sustainable rally.  And, when it does, we usually like to see it having crossed over for 3 days to signal a new uptrend has potentially begun.

Bulls Are Trying To Open The Next Door

With the SPX moving through the resistance box today, I have been forced to add a bullish alternative to the counts I am tracking.  But, I want to make it clear that this is in no way my preferred path at this time, and it will need to prove itself as per the outline below.For now, I am still viewing this rally as a (b) wave until proven otherwise.  But, we also need to see a CLEAR 5-wave decline to make it a strong probability that a (c) wave decline is in progress.

Small Changes - Market Analysis for Jun 15th, 2026

With the rally we are seeing today, I wanted to keep you apprised of where I think we are so that you can be appropriately prepared when the next buying opportunity arises.There are only two small changes I would make to the analysis from the weekend.  The first is in GDX. Due to the size of the move higher, I think it is clear that the recent low completed the 3rd wave of an ending diagonal in the c-wave for GDX.  With it hitting a low just beyond the 1.382 extension of waves 1-2 to the downside, this is a very reasonable bottom to the 3rd wave in a diagonal in metals.
