the low of wave A and lower bottom in the SRSI is a hidden divergence also confirming

is not yet finished. I expect a correction up to previous price support once more
becoming price resistance. This is the level around 2700. However since we do not have
a wave C already we must expect a further down move after this correction phase. The
first down target is around 2450. Read my updated comments here for the weekly

A week ago the index reached the upper side of the volatility band with a new higher
top. The past week there was a correction bringing the index down to the 50-day
average. There is a negative divergence between the higher top in price and lower top in
the Stochastic RSI indicator. I guess the B-wave is completed and the index will
continue to move down. First target is around 2700 where there is price support, support
from the PP pivot level of the month and support from the 100-day average and the low
side of the volatility band. The medium term target for the completion of the C-wave is
at 2450. Read my updated comments here for the weekly chart and monthly chart for

A week ago I wrote: "Closing the week a fraction higher. Last week I mentioned: "With
lower lows both in the index and the SRSI indicator we have a convergent move.
Basically this means that price is making a correction. If this is the case we are probably
finishing a B-wave and now expecting the C-Wave down. A and C waves are generally
about the same size. If this will be the case here, the index can go down to 2400 to
finish the C-wave" But, perhaps I overlooked the other possibility meaning, the index is
not making a first ABC correction but, a 5-impulse wave down for a longer term wave
A correction. If that is the case the index now makes the wave 2 correction. Since a
wave 2 correction can retrace up to 100% of wave 1, the index may go further up to the
last top. That will be confusing because you will be thinking that the up move is
continuing. If the index moves further up now, the chance that we are making a
correction wave 2 becomes more lightly. Looking at the Elliott count in the weekly
chart, even making a higher top is not impossible. All rather confusing for the moment.
A close follow up is needed! Read my comments here on the weekly chart and monthly

As expected last week the index finished the wave B up correction on Tuesday and
started the move down for Correction wave C. As I already mentioned with the weekly
chart, the B retrace is rather large which possibly means the the correction is not a B-
wave but, rather an impulse wave 2 correction. For now I just leave the current
annotation because, both expect a further move down. The first target is 2450. If it is a
wave 3 that is coming, the first target will be lower to around 2380. Note the negative
divergence (1) higher tops in price and lower tops in the SRSI indicator that announced
the first move down from top [5]. Next there is a convergent move (2) that made us
expect a correction wave B up. And now another convergent move with lower tops or a
hidden divergent move that informs us to expect a continuation of the previous down
move. There is resistance for an up move with static price resistance and resistance of
the PP-Pivot level of the month. Better be prepared for a continuation of the downtrend.

to the 100 day average and the middle line of the Bollinger Bands(R). With lower lows
both in the index and the SRSI indicator we have a convergent move. Basically this
means that price is making a correction. If this is the case we are probably finishing a B-

The first down target around 2700 was broken already on Monday but, price made an
up correction on Tuesday to the same level. The lowest low was reached on Friday with
2532.7, finding support on the 200 day average. The start of the move down was
announced by a negative divergence, the green arrows, with higher index prices and a
lower SRSI top. Now you can note a lower index bottom with also a lower SRSI
bottom. This is a convergent move. We should expect some upward correction that
already started on Friday up to the 100 average resistance. I assume there will be some
more correction possibly, towards the S1 pivot resistance, after which we should expect
a further move down. Read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly chart for

Drawing a medium term Fibonacci target, the index is close to the 2805 target I
mentioned last week. Indicators are topping and we are close to this 423.6% Fibonacci
target. Short term I expect some pullback, possibly after reaching the short term

The reaction was limited to what we had already the previous week on Friday. The first
week of the year was apparently reserved for celebrating the good trading year 2017.
We are getting more and more gaps that need to be filled. The index reached the R2
pivot resistance of the current month and is possibly on the way to a next Fibonacci
target at 2805. My best guess is that this 2805 is the top for the coming weeks. We will
most probably get at least a small correction from this level. The short term SVEPRExp

The gap is not closed yet. Contrary, price made another higher high yesterday close to
the R1 pivot resistance of December. It looks like a negative divergence is coming up
between the index and the indicators. My best guess is still that the gap around 2645
will be filled the coming week possibly, making a further correction down towards
2600. That way there will be a smaller trading range that may even extend to 2560. That
trading range may continue some weeks to some months into 2018. I am repeating, be
careful, I believe we are possibly at a longer term top that is only there because
professionals want to keep price at high levels for presenting a good end-of-the-year
report to their customers. Read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly

pattern, all negative signs. The stochastic oscillator is showing a downward move
compared to the upward move in price over the last few days, a negative divergence.
The index is back at the R1 pivot resistance , the 161.8% Fibonacci resistance, the upper
side of the volatility channel, indicators are topping and price is far away from all
averages. Furthermore there are two gaps I expect to be filled. Logically we should
expect a reversal with a further downward move the coming week(s). First targets are
filling the gaps. Read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly chart for more

Sorry I could not make comments last week. Two weeks ago I expected the gap around
2460 to be filled and that was the case. On the other hand I saw room for a further move
up. This happened the past week with a gap and large move on Monday (9/11) and
another gap on Tuesday. Price is now at the R1 pivot resistance, the 161.8% Fibonacci
target and the upper side of the volatility channel while, the index is far away from the
averages. Note the negative divergences between price with higher tops and the lower
tops in the stochastic RSI indicator. I expect a pullback for closing the recent gaps,
possibly after some small further up move. Read my comments on the weekly

Predicting the coming week with the daily chart looks a bit contradictory compared to
the weekly chart. Here there is room for a limited further up move. On the other hand
there is a nearby gap to fill around 2460. Before that happens there may be another
higher high. It may take more than a week before we see another start of a down
correction. Read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly chart for more

I expected the price gap to be filled within 2 weeks and, it happened already at the end
of the past week. We are also very close to the first down target around 2400. Possibly
price will go down a fraction lower before there will be a price pullback. There is
support from the S1 pivot support of the month, the median line of the up moving
pitchfork and the 100-day simple moving average so, I assume we will see some
pullback already the coming week. Read my comments on the weekly

The index came very close to he gap but, is not yet filled yet. I believe the gap will be
filled in the coming two weeks with a move further down to the median line of the up
moving pitchfork, the 100-day simple moving average and the low side of the Bollinger
band. There is a negative divergence with higher tops in the index and lower tops in the

higher high the same day. We now have an exceptional last engulfing bearish pattern at
the top. If this is confirmed the coming week it may be the start of a downward reaction
phase. It looks like we have a short term negative divergence with, higher tops in the
index and lower tops in the indicators. On the other hand there is a Fibonacci target at
2534 that we should not exclude. The first down target is 2430 closing the gap at the

are going the coming week. Read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly

Most probably the intermediate up moving correction wave after the first zigzag has
finished on Wednesday and the second zigzag down of the double down zigzag has
started. Basically we should see a confirmation at the beginning of the week. The first
zigzag made a convergent move with lower index prices and lower tops in the
Stochastic RSI. So, I expected the up move after the first zigzag to be a correction wave

It was some time ago that we closed a week with a lower index. The bearish harami
pattern at the top is now confirmed with a move down, reaching the low side of the BBS
band, creating a small up reaction already. I expect there will be some more up reaction
but, I expect a further down move after that. On the other hand I still cannot exclude a
new higher top. The hidden divergence between the index with higher bottoms and the
indicators with lower bottoms, confirm a correction, but may also push price above the
last top. For the coming week(s) I expect rather a continuation of the correction move

A bit as expected, closing the week higher, reaching the last current Fibonacci target
and the upper side of the up moving pitchfork. As I mentioned last week, we lost the
negative divergence and we now have a convergent move between the SRSI indicator
and the index. Basically this means we should now expect a short term reaction for the
last wave up and not yet a longer term reaction. I estimate that a reaction of some 60

Closing the week some one percent higher. If the index turns down now, we have
another negative divergence between the index with higher tops and the Stochastic RSI
indicator with lower tops. On the other hand there seems to be room for at least another
20 points up move. If that happens the negative divergence will disappear. I see
different Fibonacci targets, some point to the current level and some go about 20 points
higher. It looks like we have to follow up, waiting for a long term reversal. Please read

There was a gap down on Monday and a gap up on Friday. The result, the week is
closing just a fraction higher. Price is at the top of the BBS band and reaches a
Fibonacci target. Additionally we should expect resistance from the R1 pivot of the
month. What to expect next week? Looking at the monthly and weekly chart I would
say probably the start of the move down however, on this daily chart this is not very
clear. We have to follow up. Please read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly

We got a nice copy of the week before, be it with one less trading day. Very small
moves and again a slightly lower closing of the week. The index remains at the
Fibonacci target, trying to get past the R1 pivot of the month. There is no clear sign
where the index is going to be next week. My best guess is that we are at a long term
top, even if the index would close a bit higher, long term we should expect at least a
larger correction. I prefer to be short, be it with a small stop just above the R1 pivot
resistance. You should read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly chart for

Very limited moves the past week and closing only a few points lower. The index
remains at the Fibonacci target, fighting the resistance of the R1 pivot of the month. The
index is also at the upper side of the BBS band and the volatility channel. There may be
a double top, but it has to be confirmed. It looks like there is a negative divergence
coming up with a higher index top and a lower indicator top. We are more or less at the
same point as last week. I am waiting for a first correction toward the 2200 level. You

A new higher top, to celebrate the start of 2017? On this daily chart the index reaches
the R1 pivot resistance for the Month of January. A bull-trap or a further continuation of
the up move? I still expect a down reaction, only hard to see if it will happen the coming
week. It looks like the index and the SRSI indicator will form a negative divergence,
probably the coming week. But again, no guarantee! My best guess is a move down
toward 2200 the coming weeks. However, if the index is not turning down the coming

I am clearly forgetting that we are coming very close to the end of 2016. Usually prices
stay high because fund managers want to close the year with a good report. Meaning no
down reaction for the moment. Contrary we should expect more higher prices the next
couple of weeks. The next closest target for the coming week is a Fibonacci projection
around 2272. I do expect a small reaction first. We will probably see higher prices until
the end-of-the-year. However, medium term I still expect a larger correction, be careful!

Last week, I expected a pullback, but the market closed a bit higher and reached the
resistance of the R2 pivot point of the month. This is also a Fibonacci target. I see a
convergent move between the index and the SVESRSI indicator. Mostly this means that
the last move is a correction and that the price will continue the previous move down.
First targets are the R1 (2160) and PP pivot (2140) levels. Personally I am still avoiding
longer term long positions. Read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly

As I wrote last week: "In normal circumstances, I would expect some retracement now.
However, with the Presidential Elections on Tuesday, it is very unpredictable. We must
expect a very volatile market." What would happen in normal circumstances came with
some exaggerated retracement after a political historical fact, probably nobody was
expecting. The same with the volatile market, it only lasted a few hours. I think next
week there will be a pullback down, probably to the level of the PP pivot of the month.
Looking more than one week ahead is my opinion not possible for the moment. Nothing
is excluded for the near future, even a new long term top. I suggest to trade only short
term for now. Read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly chart for my longer

There was just enough power to bring the index some 20 points higher to the upper side
of the BBS band the first half of the week. Thursday there was a small reaction and
Friday a big black candle down, some 3% lower compared to the top price of the week.
This breaks the trading range, now finding support at the low side of the volatility

resistance now giving support and the 200 day average. Basically we should expect
some pullback. We must assume that this is not the end of the down move and we

Again almost no move the past week. The negative divergence under construction I
mentioned last week is a fact. However, there is not yet a confirmation for the start of
the move down. The index is still at exactly the 161.8% historical Fibonacci target
measured from the last down correction. It is at the upper side of the BBS and volatility

happens, my opinion it will be only a small new top. The target would be 2170. The
long term consolidation will start a new downward move. The index reached the upper
side of a slow moving upward pitchfork. I consider the force to start a new move down
to have a better chance, be it after a new small long term top. First targets are the 50 and

correction, reaching the R1 pivot resistance of the month, we see a bearish harami cross

probably move down to the median line of the downward pitchfork, the low side of the

Since we are closing the week at the same level as the week before, nothing has
changed. But we have now a hanging man and bearish harami candle stick top reversal
pattern. This may be the announcement of a reversal for the coming week. The index is
very close to the price resistance of the previous top wave E2, the upper side of the
shorter term flat pitchfork while the stochastic RSI is topping and already making a
small turn down. It looks like we rather should expect a continuation of the medium
turn down move the coming week(s).

Monday there was an up reaction, but is was stopped by the resistance of the PP pivot
level of the month and a previous top (before the end of wave E2). This brought the
index back down again to the level of the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement. On Thursday
this level was broken with a low price down to to the S1 pivot support of the month.
Finally on Friday we see a pullback up to the 50 day average, closing the week slightly
higher. There may be some small further up reaction, but it looks like there is enough
resistance close by to stop an up move. I think we still should expect a further move
down the coming weeks.

also support from previous lows in the index. Reason why there may be some pullback
up to the upper side of the downward pitchfork." We got that pullback on Monday and
Tuesday, as expected exactly to the level of the upper side of the down moving
pitchfork. The rest of the week the previous down move continued, closing at the
support of previous lows and the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement. There is pretty good
support, Nevertheless I expect a further move down the coming week(s), in first
instance to the level of the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, the 100 daily average and the
S2 pivot support of the month.

The index reached already two expected targets. The level of the first target mentioned
last week at 1840 and there is already a valid wave 3.3 down. This is most probably the
end of an Elliott impulse wave 3. In that case we should expect a correction wave
(Elliott wave 4), finally followed by a wave 5 down to a first target of 1780. Targets for
the correction move up are price resistance around 1910, a Fibonacci target, the upper
side of the BBS channel and the upper side of the downward moving pitchfork. I expect
a maximum retracement from 1960 to 2000. I would advice not to go long, assuming
this is just a correction for the long term move down.

Unfortunately I could not write a comment last week. I had a heart attack and was in
hospital. A lot better for the moment, but fast feeling tired, it will take a bit more time to
recover. My comment a couple of weeks ago was correct expecting a first low around
1830 for the construction of wave 3.2 down. Starting a recovery past that point. It looks
like there is more room for a further up retracement. Probably to the level of the S2
pivot resistance and a bit further up to the S1 pivot level, the 100 daily average and
price resistance around 2000. But there is a convergent move between the index and the
stochastic indicator. This means that most probably we are now getting a correction for
the last wave down, but a continuation of the down move once this correction finishes.
The next longer term down target is 1740 and 1600.

the 100 average moving down to the PP pivot level of the month and the price level
support of a previous correction wave E2, the 100% upper reference of the last up
Fibonacci projection. It looks like we have a new longer term extended wave 2
correction for the top wave 3.12 in the weekly chart. Price also falls below the up
moving wedge pattern. There may be some short term retracement, but we should

top price resistance. As I mentioned in the comments of the weekly chart, I think some
further move up is possible towards a 2050 level, creating a larger 123 reaction wave.
However shorter term on the daily level I expect some down retracement first, but be
prepared for a continuation of the up move without a correction first. The next logical
long term move would be a continuation of the long term down move started in August.

The past week started with a large down candle and moving even a bit lower on
Tuesday, just not creating a lower low needed to create the wave 3.3 down. An up
correction was started. This up correction may continue up to the 50 day average, a
Fibonacci target around 1970, the median line of the up moving pitchfork, the R1 pivot
resistance of the month and the upper side of the trading range. However, indicators
show a convergent move with higher bottoms. This should confirm a continuation of the
move down once the up correction is finished.

Last week I wrote: "The week closed higher, but failed to break resistance. Possibly the
index will hit this resistance once more before continuing the move down for the
creation of wave 3.3.". This expected up move happened the first half of the week,
followed by the move down the end of the week. Finally closing the week slightly
lower. We now have a 123 correction wave with a confirmed bearish harami candle
pattern. This up correction is most probably an extended wave 2 correction for the large
move down end of August. We now must expect a further move down for wave 3.3.
The minimum target is around 1850, this is the S1 pivot support of the month, the
previous low wave 3.2 and a Fibonacci target. The stochastic RSI is making a
convergent move, basically indicating a further move down after the up correction.

After the Holiday on Monday the market made a move up. But Tuesday the up move
ended against the resistance of the upper side of the BBS band, a previous price
resistance and the PP pivot level of the month. The week closed higher, but failed to
break resistance. Possibly the index will hit this resistance once more before continuing
the move down for the creation of wave 3.3. The medium term down target is 1730.

We first got the further small up move towards the upper side of the BBS channel and
the upper side of the downward pitchfork. Followed by the double zigzag down, and
faster than expected in just one week, we now have a valid wave 3.2 down. Most
probably the index confirmed the long term reversal the past week. If you are not out
already, better start thinking of closing open long positions during the next up
correction. The index reached the 261.8% fibonacci down projection over the last wave
2 correction. The next down target for wave 3.3 (or 3.2) is around 1900.

On Wednesday, the index went down as expected to break the 200 day average and
down to the level of the S1 pivot support, close to the expected 2050. That creates a
valid wave 3 downwards. However not yet a wave 3.2 down. From that point the index
corrected upwards now finding resistance at the level of the PP pivot of the month and
the 50 and 100 average. There may be some further up move, up to the upper side of the
BBS channel and the upper side of the downward pitchfork. However I rather expect a
double zigzag down move creating the wave 3.2 down in a couple of weeks.

Tuesday and Wednesday the index reached a lower low for the wave 3.1 down. And
important we reached the median line of the down moving pitchfork. This may be an
indication for a longer term continuation of a down move along the median line of the
pitchfork. For now we first must await some further up retracement to create a wave 2
correction. This will most probably bring the index to the level of 100 and 50 day
average and the upper side of the BBS band. The outcome of a Grexit or not will
certainly have an influence the coming week. This may be the wave 2 correction I
expect with a Greek agreement or if there is no agreement, a further move down of
wave 3.1.

We had the retracement only on Monday, straight to the S1 pivot support. Next 3 days
an up correction followed by a retracement on Friday from the resistance of the upper
side of the slower downward pitchfork channel. I have to repeat what I mentioned last
week: a new higher high is still possible as a result of the hidden divergence between
the index and the indicators and the index not reaching the median lines of the
downward pitchforks. On the other hand it looks like there is a convergent move
building between tops, which points in the direction of a further down move", but a
move up with a new higher high for a wave 3.24 towards the R1 pivot level seems to
have a good chance.

ongoing with I guess a lower index the coming week, falling back into the trading

I mentioned last week: "I would not exclude a new small higher top the coming week".
And that is what happened, with an index high a fraction below the last top wave 3.22.
Once more there was first a correction back to the PP pivot level of the month, but the
up move from there closed the week a fraction higher. We are still in a longer term
distribution trading range. Considering the long term up move, the distribution may still
take more time. The index moved out of the down moving pitchfork, but should be
considered normal since the index moves within a horizontal trading range. For now we
should expect the index to remain in that trading range. Even a small new top is
possible. However, I assume that this distribution phase will end with a larger move
down. Be careful taking long positions now. I assume we will have a correction the
coming week within the trading range.

The index still moves within the symmetrical triangle correction phase making a lower
top the past week, bouncing against the R1 pivot level of the month, and a larger move
down on Friday bringing the index back to the PP pivot support level. This last lower
top has a hidden divergence with a higher top in the stochastic RSI indicator. This is
basically an indication for a further move down to below the last wave 1 (3>2>1). We
can also draw a new fast moving down pitchfork. The S1 pivot support around 2030
would be the first down target. On the other hand we have to keep in mind that a
triangle is a continuation pattern. Here for a continuation of the up move. So, once more
hard to decide what can be expected the coming week. If I have to make a choice, I go
for a continuation of the down move the coming week.

The expert turned green again on Friday, moving outside the down moving
pitchfork after an up move the past week. Difficult to predict what to expect the coming
week. The convergent move with lower tops and higher bottoms, a triangle correction
phase, may be either broken to the upper or lower side. For the upper side there is
resistance from the R1 pivot around 2110, the previous wave 2 top and the 3.21 wave
top. All is very close and a new top will not require too much effort. The convergent
move suggests a continuation of the up move after the consolidation phase we are in
now. Because we have a negative divergence, second time in a row, with the weekly
chart, we should not exclude that a long term top is reached, even after getting first a
new top the coming day(s)...

The some more retracement we talked about last week, is larger than expected. We are
at a point where the chance for breaking the previous top is more realistic than a turn
down. The hidden divergence with a lower bottom in the stochastic RSI and the higher
bottom in the index will most probably push the index above the previous top wave
3.21. This may be the continuation of the long term up move. But if on the other hand
we are near a long term top, we should see a negative divergence with a higher top in
the index and a lower top in the stochastic RSI.

Only a small retrace on Monday, followed by a move down to the low side of the up
moving pitchfork, a reaction back to the PP pivot point of the month and once more
down to the low side of the pitchfork and the 100 day average. There is a hidden
divergence between the index and the stochastic RSI. Basically this means that we
should have some retracement, followed by a further move down. This move down is
also close to being confirmed in the weekly chart. It is still early to say that a longer
term reaction is started, but there are signs already. Next week probably some more
retrace, but a further down move after that.

Probably enough support to create some pullback the coming week. I doubt if the index
is already starting a longer term down correction. There is no negative divergence
between the index and the indicators. That may indicate that another top is possible the
coming weeks after the current retrace.

Even we are closing lower this week, the index managed to finally reach the long term
Fibonacci target at 2114. We are falling back to the R2 pivot resistance, now support, of
the month of February. Indicators are topping and turning down. We should expect at
least some further reaction down and do not forget that every long term correction
started with a common short term retrace.

As expected with the daily chart, the index reached the upper side of the up moving
pitchfork, the R2 pivot resistance of the month and out of a smaller and larger trading
range, creating a new higher top wave 3.21. It looks like only the sky is the limit. We
have a new convergent higher top between price and the indicators. It looks like this is
still not the end of the move up. However we must expect some reaction down the
coming weeks.

Below my modified renko chart with a box size of 16 pips and an offset of 4 pips.
Below the chart the new renko count indicator showing buy and sell signals. I extended
the signal with green (buy) and red (sell) indications on the renko bar chart. All trades
are profitable, except the one buy and sell around February 9. You can avoid these
losing trades.
The short horizontal red line are the first two resistance points of a possible start of a
trading range. Once moving back up from a low, you can draw the horizontal green line
and program it to only enter a new trade when the top of the trading range is broken by
a closing price. And once you have the low of the trading range confirmed, you can
draw the horizontal red line and program it to go short only if broken to the down side
by a closing price. That way the two losing trades can be avoided and all remaining
trades are profitable. There is even a good chance to close the short trade before
February 9 with a better profit, closing it at the low side of the trading range.

The downward pitchfork was not confirmed. I have drawn a new one in the upward
direction. The index is now reaching the upper side of this pitchfork, moving out of the
horizontal trading range on Thursday, possibly ending the week in a new larger trading
range with on the upper side the tops 3.20 and 3.21 and at the lower side downward
bottoms 3.1 and 3.2. However, this will depend if a reaction down starts the coming
week. The incredible 21 tops in a row, will possibly move a bit higher reaching the R2
pivot of the month before starting a reaction. Remember the Fibonacci target at 2114?
We are coming very close...

Stocata S&P 500 Analysis: February 7, 2015.
Last week I wrote:
The week before I wrote: For a further down move, there better will be no more up
move the coming week". It looks this was understood by the index and confirmed with
more than 50 points down. Price already reached the median line of a new fast down
moving pitchfork. Price is at a support level and some small up reaction is possible, but
I expect a further down move with targets at 1960 and 1925. Note that there is a
negative divergence between the index and the indicators.
I changed the pitchfork to be more in line with the current price move. This pitchfork
needs to be confirmed the coming days. The index is clearly moving in a volatile
horizontal trading range. We reached the top of the trading range and moved back into
the trading channel on Friday. We can assume that the index will move back down to
the low side of the trading range and the 200 day moving average. Medium term I
expect a further down move with targets at 1960 and 1925.

As expected, there was a further correction move up to the upper side of the BBS
channel, with a first reaction down on Friday. We have a retracement for wave 3.1
between 38.2% and 23.6%. This is a large retracement. More than this there is a good
chance that a new top will be created. For a further down move, there better will be no
more up move the coming week. If the index moves down the coming week, we should
expect a further move down towards the 100 and 200 day moving average around 1960
and next the S2 pivot level and the 161.8% Fibonacci target at 1920 the coming weeks.

As I wrote last week "From that point, an up correction towards the upper side of the
pitchfork and the upper side of the BBS band was started. I assume this is the end of this
short time reaction...". That was a correct assumption with the S&P 500 moving down
the past week from Monday till Thursday. Friday created a pullback from the support of
the S1 pivot reference of the month. A first wave 3 (3.1) down has been created. Logical
now would be some more pull-up towards the upper side of the down moving pitchfork
and the upper side of the BBS channel. After that correction, I believe there will be a
further move down towards the 200 day moving average around 1960 and next the S2
pivot level and the 161.8% Fibonacci target at 1920.

The index went already below 2000 and found support at the level of the S1 pivot
support of the month, the 100 days active average and the median line of the down
moving pitchfork. From that point, an up correction towards the upper side of the
pitchfork and the upper side of the BBS band was started. I assume this is the end of this
short time reaction and ready for a further move down, in first instance to the 200 days
active simple moving average around 1950 or probably to the S2 pivot support at 1920.
The last historical Fibonacci projection has a 161.8% target at 1930.
