The bottomed final Monday, Sept. 20, at $14,821 and rallied to $15,356 in three days, solely to now commerce at 14700s. So, is the correction full? Most definitely not. Permit me to elucidate.
Determine 1: NDX100 hourly candlestick chart with EWP rely and technical indicators.
The index rallied off the Sept. 20 low in an overlapping, corrective style. By monitoring it on the hourly chart, I may set up it had the choice to both put in a non-overlapping impulse transfer increased or, certainly, current us with overlap to the draw back. The latter turned evident on Monday, Sept. 27 because the NDX went under the Sept. 21 excessive and couldn’t make 5 non-overlapping waves increased (blue arrow in Determine 1 above). Thus, it was time to look decrease – and decrease it went.
Now, it seems the index has accomplished 5 waves to the draw back from final week’s bounce, which reached the perfect 62% retrace of the preliminary A-wave decrease. Thus, there are three waves down (purple A, B, C, made up of a 3-3-5 inside sample) for the reason that early September all-time excessive.
The query now’s: Can the correction be thought-about full, as corrections at a minimal journey in three waves?
To reply this query, let’s have a look at Determine 2.
Determine 2: NDX 100 hourly candlestick chart with EWP rely and technical indicators.
Determine 2 zooms out to mid-July and contains the smaller waves: (gray) minute-iii (July 26 excessive), minute-iv (August 18 low), and minute-v (early September ATH). The minute-iv wave is vital right here as that was a one-degree smaller (advanced) 4th wave in contrast with the present minor-degree 4th wave the index is experiencing. See additionally the every day chart in my earlier article (right here). It follows minute-iv lasted 123 hours (19 days), whereas the present three-waves drop from the latest ATH has lasted simply over 119 hours.
Though three waves down seem like (near) full and, subsequently, the correction may be thought-about full, it could be relatively odd to have a one-degree smaller wave final about the identical as the following increased diploma wave (minute vs. minor). Apart from, minute-iv was a posh (flat) correction, which is typical for any diploma 4th wave, and, subsequently, the present minor-4 wave must also change into sophisticated.
Thus, based mostly on wave-degree time-symmetry and the character of 4th waves, the perfect conclusion is that the latest correction has not but run its course. As a substitute, solely the preliminary section is probably going over. A bounce (gray minute wave-b in Determine 2) must be anticipated quickly earlier than minute-c completes (inexperienced) minor wave-4 later in October at round present worth ranges.
