20 Year SPX Bear MarketAfter looking over and fine-tuning my analysis for SPX over the past few months, I think I've calibrated things as good as they will get for now (barring any new, major developments which would force me to re-adjust my wave count). SPX has been on a tear from 1877 to 2022 for a very large Grand Supercycle (a 5 wave move lasting more than 100 years).
Though timely corrections were seen during the Great Depression (1929-39 roughly) and during the 9-11/Iraqi War timeframe (early 2000s), to name a few, the Bulls have always responded and claimed higher highs afterwards. Giving SPX traders the feeling that it will never ever come down.
However, the injection of the COVID era seems to have forced the SPX into a much different and more dramatic phase potentially. Though a new all-time high was seen after the introduction of COVID-19, the lingering nature of this disease and its effect on global economies will continue take a toll on the US Stock Market as it seems.. Surely, I'm no Doctor but I think SPX has a case of Long COVID to put it more plainly.
Beyond the fractal by fractal wave counting, I've also heavily considered fibonacci levels plus RSI readings. Things to note:
1) Wave 5 terminates between +1.38 or +1.618, compared to the size of Wave 4. Currently the hypothetical Wave 5 sits at more than +2(00%) the size of Wave 4, technically making it extended.
2) The Elliott Wave science suggests that RSI has the lowest peak in Wave 1, the highest peak in Wave 3 and an obvious divergence in the peak of Wave 5's divergence. Looking at the circled areas of SPX's RSI window, all of these guidelines seem to ring tru. Its clear to see that the RSI peaked in Wave 3, its also clear to see that although Wave 5 made a higher-high in price action - the RSI level terminated at a lower level compared to Wave 3, its also clear to see that the RSI in Wave 1 was the lowest of the three-trending-waves (1,3 and 5; Waves 2 and 4 are corrections against the trend).
As for price levels, its my belief that if SPX cannot reclaim and hold support above 4000=4600 in the next few years to come then the pending pump (which should initiate in the days/weeks ahead) will only serve as a correction/relief rally/retracement. WIthout 4000-4600 turning into support (in the next few years), I have reason to believe that the Bear Markets is even more likely (see outline below).
