Looking for Possible Strong 3-6 Week Move Up Starting Soon


The decline may be over or within the next few trading days. Friday's low may be the price low for the correction. This late February decline was indicated as a possibility in the last blog update although I did not foresee a severe drop. Looking for possible strong 3-6 week move up that could retrace up to 70-90% of the correction. 

Due to the severity of the decline wave 3 is no longer a valid count unless the current decline is wave C of a large flat from the April/2019 peak. The prior favored wave X count is now the best count once again for the move up from the December/2018 low to the February peak. A wave X is a middle wave between two corrective waves. The current correction wave can be a zigzag, flat or triangle so it remains to be seen which of these patterns will unfold in the upcoming months. I would say that the current move down is most likely the first part of wave A of one of those three patterns. That would indicate a new low below the current low in the next few weeks/months after the antIcipated 3-6 week rebound rally. It can't be ruled out that the current low is the end of wave A(and therefore a possible price low) for any of the above mentioned three corrective patterns. A strong move below Friday's low this coming week may negate this outlook.

The wave one count(of a possible diagonal) suggested previously as a third possibility for the December/2018 to February/2020 peak is still a valid count and would make the current correction the first segment of wave two which is usually a zigzag type corrective wave.
