SPX short trade update

Updated

Just an update

Entered a short trade on the 3rd Dec and will look to take profit soon in order to re-enter for the 5th wave of wave C down.

Sorry about my wave degrees, I just prefer the smaller degrees to avoid clutter.

Note

Average price not quite that high, in the 2780s though

Note

Should hit 2580 tomorrow

Note

Also the target for wave (v) down isn't 2300. I haven't charted it yet but something closer to 2200 - 2250 probably.

Note

2579.2... not quite 2580

Note

After a good entry, I will admit that this trade isn't now working out like I intended. The wave count is difficult to pin down but the present rally isn't wave 4. It appears that the ABC correction has completed, with wave C extended 1.618 of wave A. The Shiller PE ratio has risen to 29.36 in the last week. I am retaining my position with a stop at break even.

There are positive signs for those who are shorting - daily RSI has peaked around 60. According to Constance Brown RSI rules; 60 will act as resistance in a bear market. So I will be on the lookout for weakness - which will lead me to add to my short position.

Note

Of course I didn't take into account that the Fed would come out and say they are holding off further rate increases - because they are needed for when the US enters the next recession (most analysts say within 2 years and some say July 2019 (as Victor Sperandeo did recently)). So... free money everyone let's try to re-inflate the bubble.

Peter Schiff, a recent video youtube.com/watch?v=imvFC_GDoks, says the Fed has capitulated and that is not a good thing. He strongly implies that dropping the interest rate to zero was a one way journey.

Hyperinflation is becoming more of a probability when they announce QE4 and QE5. The S&P IS in a bear market - this uptrend is a correction, not the start of a new uptrend to higher highs. Call me a bear or whatever, but recent decisions have made it almost certain that there will be a deeper crash when it happens.
