For better archiving purpose, I post the swing type outlooks in this thread. The scope aims on trend speculation longer than a week, some ambiguity is unavoidable. To delve intraday speculation, I also post intraday outlook (in indexcalls.com) to synchronize the market movements. Since I am not a day trader, posting intraday outlook is on a irregular basis.

The critical pivots to gauge the direction is 1096 [up] and 1042 [down].
The half power point 0.707 for short term frame 06/21-07/01 is 1095.98, about 6 points higher than 0.382 retracement for intermediate frame 06/21-07/01 @ 1090.70. So, I pick 1096 as a gauge for bullish scenario. The middle term wave structure remains unclear. So far the pullback from 1219 (04/26) is considered a correction of a longer term bullish wave structure, with an unrealized middle term second target 944-948. The first target (around 1008) had been met on 07/01 (1010.91)

Apr 13 2010, 10:58 AM Post #1 in this thread
When index exceeds 1256.98 (refer to the chart shown below) the wave status since March 09 may “separate” from the prior one (1576-->667) and become an individual segment. When the wave is becoming a separate segment, it is capable of reaching 1300 level. The half power point 0.707 from 667 to 1576 is 1310, very close to the High 1313.15 marked on 08/11/08.

wave theory only provides a thought process, Market index obeys its own law; Time is a magnificent machine working out these overhang saga; Whether an event will transpire can be “perceived” by a gauge or pivot. The usage is not only works in the movement polarity but also for the displacement.

Crafting the rhythms series 07/15

refer to chart Jul 8 2010, 11:44 AM. I put new traces into the old chart, shown below.

the resistance zone 1085-1096 served as a damper, index pricked 1099.46 on 07/13 then reversed. It is a rough 0.707 [actual 0.735] retracement of the segment from 1131.23 (06/21) to 1010.91 (07/01) . Count from 1099.46, an equal movement to the down side will put index at 979.14. If you think it is not lower enough, just use wave extensions to get your "preferred" number. However, index need to crack 1042-1044 for better confirmation.

Wave 3 of 4 of 7 ??? ....

Crafting the rhythms series 07/23/10

In session 07/23, intraday low 1087.88, high 1103.73.

For bullish scenario: To see 1140-1144, the resistance zone 1105.48 -1108.24 in this chart is the first hurdle needs to be removed. The target projection encounters some uncertainty because the waves with different time frame overlaps in the zone 1137-1159.
By surmounting (closing above) the gauge 1096 (d), this action is a caveat for bear.JPG

Here is the Thought process: Even If Index reverses down before hitting the aforementioned resistance zone, the Fibonacci time zone ratio 1.0 suggests the actions in the time window 07/26-08/10, ( b ), could be a secondary event. This secondary event will be a good guide to perceive the wave structure in October, ( a ).

For longer term speculation, the index trajectory gives faint hint. refer to the chart in ( c )[3], So far, the first middle term target (1014-1001, speculated on 12/31/09) has been met on 07/01, 948-962 ( revised as 944-948) is an unrealized middle term target.

Crafting the rhythms series – 07/28/10

It is the market underlying intrinsic value determines the wave structure, After another disappointing economic report, the June Durable Goods [0], the index has likely topped on 07/27. The (seconday top) time window is up to 08/10, [1][2][3]. The follow-through actions could be consolidations with resistance zone 1137-1159, initial trend reversal gauge 1079, and lower consolidation zone 1066 – 1035. This secondary event will be a good guide to perceive the wave structure in October, [4].

Crafting the rhythms series – 08/01/10

On 07/30, index marked an intraday low 1,088.01, it is about 9 points higher than the reversal gauge 1079.
Since the time window to expect a secondary high is up to 08/10, (2.2PI, 7 trading days from 07/30), the actions in the next few sessions becomes critical, IF index cannot dive below 1079, there is a good chance index may spring up to 1137 due to the following two technical reasons:

(1) 1219.80 – 1040.78) * 0.707 + 1010.91 = 1137.48 [refer to archive Jul 28]
(2) Sometimes the time movement let each segment’s vertical length deploy a simple magic ratios
The following chart depicts a nearly perfect wave ratios (1.5 & 2.0). if ratio 1.5 repeats one more time it will put index at 1137.42.

One important hint is the wave bounced off 1010.91 on 07/01 is still part of the down wave since 04/26. The rally off the 07/01's low travled 0.618 out of [1219.80 – 1040.78] is the evidence that there is no separation yet. However, there is no confirmation the rally since 07/01 is complete.

As of 08/02, It is 68 TDs (trading days) from the 4/26 high @ 1219.80. The time window for this secondary high is up to 08/10.Wait just a few more sessions for confirmation. I guess something ties with - 135° August 7, start of autumn ( ZEN: the The Beginning of Autumn, http://indexcalls.co...o...st&p=590358 ).
If the rhythm repeats, the secondary low is at least 54 TDs from 07/01....
