Rollercoaster Continues For SPYMy overall thesis is we are in the very early stages of a multi-year decline ultimately with the S&P 500 below 3500. I am estimating this symbol to be in wave position SuperCycle 2, Cycle A, Primary 1, Intermediate 3 (pink), Minor 3 (yellow), Minute 3 or 4 (green). I originally had this symbol nearly complete with Primary wave 1, but the continued declines received significant wave 3 of 3 signals (pink lines in bottom chart band). It is still unclear if we are in my theoretical larger decline or if we are in a simple corrective wave. It will take at least another two months to likely achieve the answer.
Theory 1 is my hypothesis where we are about to finish Minor wave 3 in Intermediate wave 3 in Primary wave 1 in a multi-year market correction. This would see SPY bottom around 486 within two weeks and briefly head up toward 535 before continuing significant downward movement. Currently Intermediate wave 1 lasted 111 trading hours. Intermediate wave 3 is somewhat on pace to finish in the same amount of time around 17 April. Extensions based on Minor wave 1's movement could put Minor wave 3's bottom around 499.
Theory 2 is that Intermediate waves 1, 2 and 3 (pink) are actually waves A, B, and C (white) in a short-term corrective wave. This would mean this symbol returns to all-time highs around the fall of 2025.
Theory 3 places the stock in the third wave about to finish a wave A down over the next two months. Wave B up would last a few months before wave C takes the market to a bottom sometime around the end of 2025.
All three theories will observe the same movement over the next few weeks with a low soon and then a bounce up. Theory 2 becomes the likely winner if SPY breaks above 576.33 within the next 3 months. Theories 1 and 3 will trade the same for quite some time.
I will reevaluate this ETF once Minor wave 3 finishes. It should aid in providing a better bottom for Intermediate wave 3 in the next two weeks.

According to this, the market tops tomorrowWe have been working to finish Minor 5 since earlier today which will also end Intermediate wave C and Primary wave 4. Afterward the market will likely find new 52-week lows somewhere around 3400 by September/October of this year. By dissecting Intermediate wave C so far, we notice Minor wave 1 (yellow) was approximately 14 hours long and Minor wave 3 was only 10 hours long. Per the Elliott Wave rules, wave 3 cannot be the shortest. This would imply wave 5 must be no longer than 10 hours long. Assuming Minor wave 4 ended today within the first hour of trading, Wave 5 must end before 1330 eastern time tomorrow. The first set of Fibonacci levels are extensions based off of Minor wave 3 as its marked. The middle fibs are based on Intermediate wave A’s movement and the levels to the far right are the retracement of Primary 4 in relation to Primary 3’s movement. There appears to be some key levels around the 4040 range. This could be the area for the top tomorrow.
ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
This end was a few days earlier than my initial forecast, but plausible. Another possibility is that we are early in Minor wave 3 (likely in the early stages of its own wave 3). If this is true, then we would achieve a new high AFTER 1330 tomorrow. There does not appear to be anything newsworthy to stop momentum in the middle of day so this idea of remaining in wave 3 is likely. If we are in the middle stages of wave 3, we would likely find a top above 4100 early next week. I ultimately think we will begin trending down before the Fed comes out with the official rate. It will likely be 100 basis points or greater as well.
We shall see what holds true.
