S&P 500 Nearing 5 Waves Higher Completion (Elliott Wave)
The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) has made an epic run from the March 2009 low of 667. But good things only last so long… that’s how it goes on any timeframe. In this case, it’s a longer-term one.
In my opinion, the price action shows we have completed a full 5 wave pattern using Elliott Wave Analysis. After such a long run, we should see an A-B-C correction coming shortly. With extremely overbought conditions and the final 5th wave completing after the November election, I don’t think now is the time to purchase. The risk reward ratio on this trade is way out of bounds because a properly placed stop would rest under 2040. During the coming price correction, we want to see the 2050 area hold. Anything below 2000 could cause a lot of stop running and accelerate the downside movement. Unfortunately, John Q Public often enters trades too late. The fear of missing out combined with an uncontrolled ego is a recipe for trading disaster. The video below provide additional analysis and insight.
