The ELLIOTT WAVE lives on - Anthony Caldaro  said

The market started the week at SPX 2092. After a gap down opening on Monday the market quickly recovered to hit SPX 2103. It traded at that level again on Tuesday, and then ran into three straight gap down openings for the rest of the week. On Friday the SPX hit 1971 and closed there. For the week the SPX/DOW were -5.8%, the NDX/NAZ were -7.1%, and the DJ World index was -5.3%. On the economic front reports came in slightly to the positive. On the uptick: the NAHB, the CPI, housing starts, existing home sales, the Philly FED and the GDPN. On the downtick: the NY FED, building permits, leading indicators, the WLEI, plus weekly jobless claims rose. Next week’s reports will be highlighted by the next report on Q2 GDP, Durable goods, and PCE prices.

With Thursday’s/Friday’s market activity, we not only updated the hourly chart to match the daily chart. But also shifted the first significant wave of the downtrend over to the SPX 2052 level. This would put it more in proportion with the recent selloff. At Friday’s SPX 1971 low Minor C is within one point of a 1.618 relationship (1972) to Minor A. Should the 1973 pivot range hold the market could experience a good rally next week. If not, the 1956, 1929 and even 1901 pivots would be next.

After four years of a rising market, and the loss of the six month support at SPX 2040, it appears many are hedging or simply taking profits. Short term support is at the 1956 and 1929 pivots, with resistance at the 1973 and 2019 pivots. Short term momentum ended the week extremely oversold. Best to your weekend and week!
