We are in interesting times in the markets

If you have followed us at all you know that we have been pounding the table for the last couple of years that the markets are heading for a GENERATIONAL TOP

Of course as with all Bull markets we have seen almost parabolic price action in some markets at points over that time period since

And of course you see some interesting calls regarding where the markets are heading

Just yesterday we saw calls for SPX 7500, 8000, 10000, etc

While all of those levels are theoretically possible, a trader makes money on whats probable

And the clearest chart we have on where markets are heading is found with XLF

Without turning this into an Elliott Wave seminar we have 2 clear as day patterns that signal the end of the 5 wave impulsive move that started off the Covid lows

ANYTIME you see a triangle appear in a wave that means the NEXT move you see is the LAST move of that wave...and once that final move completes you can expect a significant retracement

As you see we have a by-the-book triangle in the Wave 4 position

But wait theres more! (in our best infomercial voice lol)

Along with the triangle an ENDING DIAGONAL has formed in Wave 5

Ending Diagonals, like triangles, also signal that a wave is ending and a retracement is next

So in a nutshell, we have a clear triangle in Wave 4 that told us the next move (Wave 5 in this instance) would be the last move before a significant retracement AND we are in the final stages of an ending diagonal in Wave 5 which signals that the Wave 5 move is over

Here is the last piece we want you to know:

Triangles are almost COMPLETELY RETRACED 100% OF THE TIME

And as XLF goes so do the broader markets....get ready
