Stock Market Ready For a "Take Down"
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012 Dec 11, 2012 - 12:40 PM GMTIt took this morning’s ramp to 1431.62 to confirm this EW pattern. As of now, it is (nearly) finished, with a 67% retracement of Primary Wave [1]. Wave (A) consumed 64 hours. Wave (B) consumed 17 hours and Wave (C) consumed 26 hours, giving us a near-perfect fractal model for a corrective pattern.
Yesterday was the Model Pivot day, but the two hours of additional rally today does not endanger the potential panic fractal that is due next. While the panic fractal may be over in as little as three days, there is a stronger likelihood of the panic low coming in next Monday or Tuesday.
As of the last count, the number of December 22 put option contracts on the SPX has increased from 2,217,000 to 3,193,252. The January contracts have not appreciably changed, so it appears that the probability is stronger than ever that there may be a “take down” of the market in the next week. That’s right…this appears deliberate.
The Cycles Model says that we are now overdue for a significant cycle low.
Best wishes,
Tony
