Short Term and Long Term Elliott Wave Views for the SP 500 Index

Short Term:   As we said last week, targeting 3400 area initially for Wave 5 up from 3214 lows of 4 of Intermediate 3.  This 5th and final wave targets 3395-3515 ranges, I will update my members daily.

Long Term:   (Wave 3 of Intermediate 3 of Major 3).

• The long term Primary Wave 5 up from Feb 2016 lows continues
• Now in Major Wave 3 up from the 2345 lows of Major 2 in Dec 2018. This Major 3 has 5 intermediate waves, and we are in Intermediate 3 which is very bullish, but in the last stages of it, aka Wave 5 of Int 3.
• Intermediate 3 is made up of 5 full waves, we are working on the 5th wave overall, having completed the 3rd of 5 of 3, recently the 4th of 5 of 3, and now in 5 of 5 of 3 to complete the Int 3 move. See weekly chart.

Long Term View:  Int 3 of Major 3 underway since 2728, 3400 minimal target to complete targeting 3395-3515 zones

Larger degree Wave 4  completed at my projected 3215 area on 1/31/2020.  Now in Wave 5 of Int 3 up.

Short Term View: Wave 4 bottoms at 3214, Wave 5 to 3400 plus underway

Wave 5 up of Int 3 underway from 3214 low. Projected that 3215 area well in advance and hit it spot on. Now looking for 3400 plus possible. 3395-3515 the zone we are monitoring.

Market Notes and Indicator Charts: 

Still working on overall Intermediate Wave 3 of Major Wave 3, this is called a 3rd of a 3rd and hence the powerful bull trend over last several months.  Once this completes, we will have an Intermediate Wave 4 correction pattern which should last several weeks.

• BIOTECH looks poised to run again, see updated chart
• GOLD also looks bullish, see updated chart
• Long a few Bull 3x ETF’s in The3xETFTrader.com service on Stocktwits
• Futures service profiting from all the volatility as well trading E Mini SP 500 futures

XBI ETF (Biotech) could bust out of this 2 week consolidation:

Gold looks poised to run up out of this base pattern:

Weekly ideas and tips on Swing Trading Success:    Patience can pay dividends quickly

Its sounds like an oxymoron, “Patience can pay dividends quickly” but what I mean is sometimes we enter a swing trade and normally I’m looking for action out of a pattern within a few days or a week at the max. However, once in awhile they just continue to consolidate in a range with no movement out of the area of entry, and also not stopping us out.  How long do we hold? Recently we had this with ZTO which we held about 7-8 weeks, but stayed the course and then in a 1-2 week window it finally broke out and ran up for us. We ended up with a nice profit, but perhaps held it longer than expected. That said, the movement happened quickly. Often just when your average trader gives up on a position and sells, they take off within days.  Learn to have some patience and trust your gut. In the case of SRP, I always check for fundamentals as a key requirement, this can keep us out of trouble in the event a position goes south at first or sideways for awhile.  Many of our losers end up being winners as well. Be patient, do the homework, continue the research, but the biggest moves come in short time frames… you must be positioned to benefit.

Swing Trade Candidates:  A list of ideas to consider for both SRP and SR members.

Updated 2/17/2020

This is always a good place to start some research.   Consider this another “Idea” lab for you as a trader.  SRP members get actual alerts in real time on various positions, some may or may not come off this list.

This week as usual we have an updated list of some ideas for the intermediate window in addition to or in concert with open SRP positions and or possibly future trade alerts. Quite a few stocks are in uptrends, these are some that are consolidating or may break out.
