Good Morning!
It seems as though I gave decidedly short shrift to the strength of C-waves in my last analysis. I typically look for a full 61.8% correction to motive waves, though through September and most of October the choppy and stodgy nature of the corrective (a) and (b) waves dissuaded my believe that .618% retracement would occur.
Hindsight is of course 20/20, though in retrospect, I would have called a larger correction had I recognized that wave (5) of intermediate degree had occurred, instead of struggling to see (5) in the triangle corrections that followed.
Presently the (c) wave is, as of 11:10AM ET, trading right around the 61.8% retracement level of the entirety of this intermediate degree bear market zig-zag. As a result, upon the completion of this (c) wave the market should turn down sharply.
This is both a strong reminder to me not to over complicate things, and a stronger reminder to you that this is purely academic.
All of that being said, I am very excited to see how the market develops in the coming weeks, and will post again when the market fulfills its next intermediate degree movement. (Which I think will be down)
Since this blog is also suppose to cover socionomics and self similarity in different forms, I will try to post various elements and examples of both in the coming weeks, provided you-tube is not forced to ban copyrighted material.
That this upswing which is in correlation with the EU decision on debt management, and is not a cause but an effect of the (c) wave upturn in social mood. Note that this follows the progression of the 'occupy' movement, an undeniable showing of negative social mood, which was at its peak during the low point of the $DJIA (b) wave in early October and fading in notoriety after hitting what seems to have been its high water mark, marching to times square on the 10/15.
This also happened to be the end of the (b) and very beginning of the now upward trending (c) wave, which has seen both a significant rise in markets and the comparatively diminished presence of riots and protests which were all very present only a few weeks ago.
This is all just food for thought and I am not stating any of this as precise fact,however I don't think that the relationship should go at all unnoticed.
All the Best,
W
