Gap Down Thursday, Up Fri, Down Monday?We will try to fit a few analyses into this one. First and foremost is forecasting the end of Minor wave 3 assuming Minor wave 2 ended in the first hour of trading on September 11. Based on historical models for Minor wave 3s inside of Intermediate wave 3s, the minimum movement extension was 119.45%, quartiles are 144.66%, 160.615%, and 197.56%, with a max move at 261.87%. The models agree the most on a durations of 15, 22, and 25 trading hours. Secondary agreement is at 16, 23, 28, 38, and 46 horus. A broader set of data based on waves ending in C133 has a minimum at 147.27%, median of 200.135%, third quartile at 209.98%, and maximum at 350.33%. The duration models agree the most at 21 trading hours with secondary at 42 hours, and third scattered at 13 and 25-38 hours. The broadest data has quartile movement extensions at 141.03%, 180.29%, and 230.56%. Duration models agree the most at 21 hours, secondary of 42 hours, third at 28 hours, fourth at 18 hours, fifth at 35 hours. Minor wave 3 levels are on the right. The market is moving quite slow to hit any of these levels which eludes to two obvious choices: 1) The market is not in Minor wave 3 yet; 2) A large drop is coming within the next few trading days. The first theory would be confirmed if the market moves above 4490.77 before breaking below 4430. The second option would likely see a gap down at the open on Thursday, Friday, or Monday. The low so far was 14 bars into the purported Minor wave 3. The market close on September 13, was hour 20. The high end of potential lengths was 42 hours which would occur on September 19 in the first hour of trading. Based on this data and assuming Minor wave 3 is correct, the bottom could occur early next week around 4350. If the current low point in Minor wave 3 was the end of Minute wave 1, and the top a few hours later was the end of Minute wave 2, then Minute wave 3 could do the following and the levels are outlined on the left. Based on Minute wave 3s in Minor wave 3s in Intermediate wave 3s, the quartile movement extensions are 121.14%, 143.025%, and 193.34%. Duration models agree the most at 6, 10, 12, 17 and 36 hours long. Secondary agreement is at 8-9 and 18-35. Based on waves ending in 1333, quartile movement extensions are 148.92%, 182.64%, and 276.57%. Duration models agree the most at 12 and 14 hours with secondary at 28 hours. Third is 24 hours while fourth is 8 and 18 hours. The broader dataset has quartile movement extensions are 148.35%, 183.46%, and 247.14%. Duration models agree the most at 14 hours, second at 12 hours, third at 8 and 28, fourth is 16, fifth is 24 hours, sixth is 42 hours and seventh at 6. Minute wave 1 may have been 14 hours, and the same for Minute wave 3 would place the bottom in the first hour of trading on Friday. The path to Minor 3 still looks do able but it would have to start with a gap down tomorrow, likely based on an increase in the August PPI number. Minute wave 3 could bottom in the final hour of trading on Thursday or within the first hour on Friday below 4420 before the market rises the rest of Friday to end Minute wave 4 and the final Minor wave 3 bottom is set for late Monday or early Tuesday. Any deviation to this plan should invalidate the current wave positioning. Minor wave 3 could be a little longer and drawn out, but it would require a deeper bottom than the projected 4350 neighborhood.

Early Gains Friday Followed By More RedNOTE: All times eastern. Current position is SubMillennial 1, Grand Supercycle 5, Supercycle 2, Cycle C, Primary 1, Intermediate 3, and likely Minor wave 2. As we likely settle into Intermediate wave 3, it is time to find the potential end of Minor wave 1. To recap: Intermediate wave 3 (magenta/purple numbers) is comprised of 5 Minor waves. Each Minor wave (yellow numbers) is comprised of at least 3 Minute waves (green numbers), while the impulsive waves 1, 3, and 5 are made up of 5 waves. I have taken the current wave breakout and identified Minute waves 1 and 2 while maintaining a decent idea of where Minute wave 3 ended which was during the 1230-1330 trading hour on September 6. Based on the completed data from the likely Minute waves 1 and 2, I begin to forecast what Minute wave 3 can do. Based on the most specific historical dataset for Minute wave 3s in Minor wave 1s in Intermediate wave 3s, the minimum movement extension is 121.69%, with quartiles (pink levels) of 161.2%, 200.07%, and 300.76%. Strongest model agreement for duration of Minute wave 3 is a tie of 3 or 14 hours long, with secondary agreement at 4, 12, 19, or 20 hours. The next dataset is slightly broader and applies to waves ending in 1313. The minimum historical movement extension is 107.15%, with quartiles (light blue levels) at 129.54%, 178.48%, and 265.83%. The duration models have strongest agreement at 2 hours long, secondary is 4 hours, third is 5, fourth is 11, 14, 16, or 20. The broadest dataset is based on waves ending in 313 with extension quartiles (yellow levels) of 145.98%, 180.89%, 260%. Strongest model agreement is generally less than four hours long, while fourth strongest agreement is 12 hours, and fifth is 8 hours. My current placement of Minute wave 3’s endpoint was during hour 11 at 4442.38 and it is based on the wave 3 of 3 signal obtained during the 15 minute trading window at 1100 on September 6 as seen below. This is likely Minuette wave (white numbers) 3 inside of Minute wave 3 Marking this the end of Minute wave 3 would place the end of Minute wave 4 in the final hour of trading from September 6. The next question is what should Minute wave 5 look like? Based on the most specific historical dataset for Minute wave 5s in Minor wave 1s in Intermediate wave 3s, the minimum movement extension is 100.27%, with quartiles (pink levels) of 110.26%, 132.685%, and 149.24%. Strongest model agreement on duration is at 9 hours, with secondaries at 2, 3, 6, 10, and 15, third at 18 hours. Fourth most agreement is at 1, 4-5, 7, and 11 hours. The next dataset is slightly broader and applies to waves ending in 1315. The minimum historical movement extension has not changed while quartiles (light blue levels) are 107.03%, 121.73, and 141.35%. The duration models have strongest agreement at 4 hours, second at 2 hours, third at 9, fourth at 1, 11, & 12, with fifth at 3 & 5 hours. There is a chance the opening drop in the first hour of trading on September 7 ended Minute wave 5 and Minor wave 1 based on the upward drift of trading during the rest of the day. If Minute wave 5 has not ended, it would be 7 hours long with more downside expected. I will conduct one final analysis due to most duration targets not fitting this narrative indicating the market is likely in Minor wave 2 upward. What will Minor wave 2 look like? Based on the most specific models Minor wave 2 could have a minimum movement retracement of 17.45% with quartiles of 31.03%, 48.98%, 60.38%. Duration models have strongest agreement at 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours long, with secondaries of 3 or 10 hours. The next slightly broader dataset places the quartile retracements at 11.80%, 38.26%, and 55.24%. The duration models agree the most at 21 hours, with secondaries at 7, 8, 10, 12, and 15 hours. Since 21 hours was the length of wave 1, it is not likely in this instance. The final dataset places quartiles at 27.66%, 43.675%, and 61.32%. Duration models agree the most at 21 hours, secondary at 10 hours, third at 3 or 5 hours, fourth at 4, 7, or 8, with fifth at 14 hours. It is possible Minor wave 2 also ended in the final hour of trading on September 7, but confirmation will not occur until noon on September 8. It is possible the market opens high early on Friday but returns to decline by the afternoon. I should put out the Minor wave 3 analysis this weekend. Looking ahead August CPI and the Fed could be interesting catalysts for the rest of Intermediate wave 3 down. Minor wave 3 could last until Monday of Fed week followed by Minor wave 4 drifting upward until the Fed speaks on that Wednesday. Minor wave 4 could top before that day ends and then the declines should continue for the following week and a half of September. A government shutdown could occur on September 30, and markets have typically been bullish during shutdowns so this should help spur the short-term October recovery.

Time For The Long Await Selloff?IF Intermediate wave 2 finally ended, this will serve as the current preliminary analysis for tracking Intermediate wave 3 down. Confirmation of Intermediate wave 2 ending will take at least 3 more days, so this analysis is subject to change. Based on the most specific historical models that are relationally relevant to an Intermediate wave 3, the quartile movement extensions serving as checkpoints and likely bottom (pink levels on chart) for Intermediate wave 3 are 165.83%, 181.41%, and 227.27%. The models cannot agree on a specific duration in hours, however, there are pockets of agreement with the strongest at 168-175 hours, secondary is 185-192, third is 149-156 hours. The next set of data is slightly broader and places the quartile movement extensions (light blue levels) at 147.09%, 165.83%, and 306.68%. Strongest model agreement for duration is at 70 hours (which was the length of Intermediate wave 2), secondary is 112 (length of Intermediate wave 1) and 426 hours while third model agreement is at 155, 174, and 199 hours. The broader set of historical data has extension quartiles (yellow levels) at 141.46%, 176.435%, and the third quartile remains at 306.68%. Strongest model agreement for duration is 70 and 426 hours (which are unlikely for wave 3) with secondaries at 112, 142, and 224 (double length of wave 1). Third most agreement is at 168, 174, and 213 hours. Preliminary forecast is the bottom around 174 hours which is around October 6th. The bottom could be between 4114-4156, but likely below 4140. The levels in this assessment will not change but the forecasts for the bottom will be updated in future forecasts as each of the 5 waves near completion. Intermediate wave 4 should begin more upward movement after Intermediate wave 3 has completed. September looks like a selloff, but October should claw back 20-50% of the losses.

Early highs today, begin September selloff tooBased on today’s open, Minute wave 4 likely lasted one hour near the end of trading yesterday. This sets the table for an earlier high in the markets today before everything should go south for the remainder of the week. Using the most specific datasets for determining Minute wave 5’s duration points to it only lasting 2 hours with secondary at 3 hours. Fourth duration is 6 hours and fifth is tied at 4, 7, or 9 hours. The minimum move for this dataset is 101.86% extension of wave 3 (already surpassed at open). Quartiles are 116.85%, 121.90%, and 128.83% with maximum historical move at 198.67% (and likely well out of reach today). The next projections based on slightly broader data has the extension quartiles at 112.59% (4535.06), 136.765% (4560.80), and 147.05%. The duration models agree most at 2 hours, secondary at 3 hours, fourth at 1 hour, and fifth at 6 hours. The broadest dataset has the extension quartiles at 110.87%, 128.83%, 156.22%. Strongest model duration is at 1 hour, second is 2 hours, third is 3 hours, fourth is 5 hours, fifth is 6 hours, sixth is 5 hours. Looks like Minute wave 5 began at the 4505.88 low with about 1.5 hours left to trade on August 30th. It preceded to complete Minuette wave 1 up with a top at 4519.24 and then Minuette wave 2 down at 4510.89. The index open today in Minuette wave 3 which should be followed by a wave 4 down and final final wave 5 up. With this analysis written within the first 30 minutes of trading on August 31st, Minute wave 5 is currently in its third hour and possibly ending Minuette wave 3. The market top is fixing to end prior to 1230 eastern time today around 4535-4544. Markets should be deep in the red after today which is setting up for a heavy selloff in September.
