The near term path is clear. The overall bigger picture is clear, but the precise mid-term path is tricky. The main this here is that the whole goal of the price action we will see over the next couple months is for the market to do 2 things:
1) complete wave 4 before starting wave 5 to new highs by the end of 2022 or early 2023
2) big money wants to accumulate shares at a low enough average price, yet without invalidating the 13 year bullish structure (such that wave 5 can finish at a new all time high - at which point they will distribute shares to FOMO retail before the realization of the recession kicks off and we enter an actual bear market)
So I'm not pretending the economy/environment is not high risk, but I am implying they need to create the FUD in order to squeeze the FUD and initiate markup to much higher levels where they can distribute.
I have an update for the near term path in my last post with a more precise idea after the information futures price action gave us last night (these point levels are the blue horizontal rays in my chart, this local path is the solid black):
- expecting run at open enroute to 389-391 to fill that gap (this will unfold the next 2 days)
- then a pullback to around 383 early next week
- after that 1 more final leg up near-term to around 395-398 (end of next week)... I do not think we will fill the 401 gap just yet - they need to leave that open for the run off the new low (or the double bottom) that will follow the near-term move to 395ish. Also we have a new gap to fill down from yesterday so going to want to close that after the first gap up is filled.
After 395-398, we will see more downside, I am just not sure yet on which of the 2 yet will most likely illustrate (and also not sure of the levels). Best guess either dotted black or dashed black:
- in dotted black scenario we move down from 395-398 to form a new low and, thus, a triple combo to end wave 4 in the range of 340-350s
- in the dashed black scenario we attempt to complete this expanding triangle, but that timeline doesn't align with what I am seeing now for crypto and they generally correlate pretty well. For crypto I am expecting ETH to run to 1300s and then get hit pretty hard to a new low (that will mark its bottom), for BTC expecting run to upper 20k before getting hit pretty hard to new low and confirming its bottom. So if SPY follows that, dotted black is most likely. Perhaps market and crypto bottom in August and begin run to new highs by end of 2022/early 2023. I expect October to be very bullish.
