Need more evidence of a bottom


Today's trading session was relatively tame, with price able to hold positive gains into the afternoon. Despite price making a little more progress off the low made last week though, there is still nothing clearly reliable to assume that a bottom has confidently been struck to this pullback off the late August high.

If a bottom is indeed in place, then I want to see further upside again tomorrow, starting with a break back above the high made this morning followed by the local high made last week at 2893. At that point, odds of reaching another new all-time high from there would be much more favorable.

Otherwise, until then I still cannot rule out the potential that one more local low is needed before a bottom, with price heading down to test the .500 retrace at 2860 next as wave (5) of C shown on the 15 min chart. Hopefully tomorrow will provide us with our answer.
