It's now clear that the strange pattern in progress is unlikely to form a bottom of minuette degree.
The decline that extended over the past days changed my main scenario;
according to my new favorite hypothesis,
the last top in 1422 marks the end of the y minor wave of
(w) intermediate wave.
If so, it should be started a a/w minor (red) wave as the first sequence of a corrective pattern of intermediate degree (more
details soon to be published on the page "Long term scenarios of U.S. index")
The alternative scenario considers the downward correction like an x wave of minor degree of a double zig-zag pattern.
Possible targets:
first 1340, second 1290 (Fibonacci price cluster)
The market begins a phase of great uncertainty as the alternatives of corrective waves are very numerous,
and it becomes extremely difficult to position correctly.
The short term trend changes from bullish to
neutral / bearish,
so I don't open more long positions
on pullbacks or on top's breakouts,
but I will open short positions on bounces or on bottom's breakdowns (always according to the degree of the waves!)
Have a great trading day...with care!!!
