S&P 500 Index in Primary Wave X
Upward primary wave
[X] started in mid-February is typically a wave inside the complex W-X-Y wave structure to link two corrective sequences. The next wave after wave
[X] will be primary wave
[Y] that should be a major downward wave as a zigzag correction, and it would be more dramatic than the flat correction of wave
[W].
Last month wave
[X] broke above the upper boundary of a 3-month broadening triangle pattern. Although the upside price target may be projected at 2210, we should be aware of that this pattern has a high break even failure rate and the average rise is meager according to
Thomas Bulkowski.
The status in this past week had no significant change from the previous week due to a flat market.
