Hi Dave,
Wave 4 correction looks over, 2443 now on the SP 500 Radar:
We finally hit our 2326 projection for Intermediate Wave 4 of Major Wave 3 this past week. The market then turned around and in our opinion is moving towards a low end 2443 target for the 2nd quarter. This doesn’t mean we go straight up, but evidence suggests Wave 4 was relatively shallow and completed it s corrective pattern this past week.
ELLIOTT WAVE VIEWS: WAVE 5 OF MAJOR 3
Once Intermediate Wave 5 completes, we should enter a more substantial Major Wave 4 correction of the entire advance since 1991 bottom of Major Wave 2. So keep your eyes on 2443 plus or minus 5 points as our LOW END projection for the top of Major Wave 3 and therefore this current Wave 5 up of Major 3.
Also we have a market turn date of April 9th ahead to keep an eye on…
Here is our basic updated forecast chart, in the interest of keeping it simple (KISS).
OIL UPDATE: TRIPLE BOTTOM AT 47 AREA HOLDS
We had mentioned to our SRP Members earlier last week that often Refiners come back online in the spring after maintenance, and therefore demand for feedstock, aka, Oil picks up. This takes up the slack in supply and prices rise. Oil was able to hold the long term $47 area , which is a projection we discussed to watch several weeks ago in our Sunday forecast report. A triple bottom also recently formed at 47 and that was another chart we showed to SRP members this past week.
Energy stocks are among the areas rebounding and could be 2nd quarter leaders for example:
GOLD- 1257 REMAINS RESISTANCE
Gold tried to take out 1257 this past week then got hit with a large corrective. The 1232 area is support , 1257 resistance and if taken out 1283 comes up next.
MARKET NOTES: LEADERS, EMERGING LEADERS, SENTIMENT AND MORE
This past quarter the leaders were Computer Software and Gaming, Automobile Manufacturing, Building-Residential construction, and Electronics-Semiconductors.
Of note we also had the Biotech XBI ETF as the leading ETF with a 17% gain
Opportunities in the 2nd quarter are emerging in Energy and Retail, a few beat down sectors that money managers will likely jump on to search for that elusive Alpha.
Investment Advisors who are bullish have pulled back to 49.5% from a high of 61% in the first quarter. This has helped work off the Wave 3 highs at 2401 on the SP 500 when sentiment was running hot.
Small caps formed a double bottom on the IWM ETF this past week which we pointed out to SRP Members in a morning forecast chart, and now still in a 17 week base could attempt a breakout
