The stock market rebounded last week after a broad range of stocks declined for a month. The S&P 500 index started a short-term upward wave which is characterized as wave b in the middle of a corrective a-b-c wave sequence in terms of Elliott Wave analysis, and this upward wave is likely to be setting up for a bull trap before the next decline with downward wave c. To compete with stocks, the 30-year U.S. treasury bond index, gold and silver are all in upward breakouts from their chart patterns. The broad stock market is projected to be in a short-term bullish time-window until 6/20/2019.

The Broad Market Instability Index (BIX), measured from over 8000 U.S. stocks, closed at 20 on Friday 6/7/2019 (down from 295 the previous week) which is below the panic threshold level of 42 and indicates a bullish market. The Wilshire 5000 index is above the 89-day exponential moving average, and the momentum is positive. Based on the forecast of the Leading Wave Index (LWX), the broad stock market is projected to be in a short-term bullish time-window until 6/20/2019 (see the second table below).

The daily chart below has the Wilshire 5000 index with both the BIX and the Momentum indicators. The current market status is summarized as follows:

As shown in the weekly chart below, since early 2016 the SPX has been in primary impulse wave [5] which is the last upward wave of a multi-year primary five-wave sequence started from 2009. This fifth primary upward wave developed an intermediate (1)–(2)–(3)–(4)–(5) five-wave sequence. Both intermediate upward wave (5) and primary upward wave [5] should end in last October, and primary corrective wave [W]–[X]–[Y] sequence started right after.

Currently the SPX is in primary corrective wave [W] which is the first primary downward wave of the primary corrective wave [W]–[X]–[Y] sequence. In downward wave [W] of a bear market, the fundamental news is usually still positive. Most people see the drop as a correction in a still-active bull market.

This downward wave [W] is going to have an intermediate (W)–(X)–(Y) three-wave sequence progressively to the downside. So far intermediate waves (W) and (X) have developed. Recently downward intermediate wave (Y) has started, and it will have a sub-wave a-b-c sequence. Downward sub-wave a just finished, and now it is in upward sub-wave b. Downward sub-wave c will be the next.
