Bring on 1140-1150. Maybe where this latest triangle meets will actually mean something to the downside. 1151.41 is the .618 retrace of the 1219-1040 decline. I have the LATEST triangle ending just before this level.
Shoot me.
Head scratcher VIX...
Head scratcher EVERYTHING... Can I borrow one of those blades to do the scratching?
I'm fresh out of "throwing stars"...

If you stare at the S&P long enough, what you'll realize it that it's forming the BORATE POLYMERIZATION pattern...

the B2O4?
@Amen
All kinds of great uses for boron...
Because of its high neutron cross-section, boron-10 is often used to control fission in nuclear reactors - like equity markets as a neutron-capturing substance...
I'm still looking for the miners and currency traders who are being carried out on stretchers.
Oh and since today is the anniversary of Lehmans collapse, the market HAD to close higher. Imagine if the market closed much lower aka Lehman II. Circuit breakers would trigger as soon as trading was allowed to restart.

Swiss intervention tonight?
Ra,
Thanks for the link man, so Japan is 0 for their last 168 on intervention, at least they are consistent.... and yet all I read pretty much every day is how the Fed, doesn't matter which Fed, is going to "control" the market through intervention or back door operations.
sorry, but after 0 for 168 and I have to say....odds aren't exactly in the favor of the people making such claims, but it just sounds so compelling doesn't it.
check out this paper from earlier this year:

anyone that has done any study of the 30's is having some serious deja vu this week, but especially since last night.
Don't normally post minutiae like this, but this is a funny guy and good sports interview:

What did you get the fine for? "I don't know...too much awesome on my feet."
@Andy
LOL - I remember watching that interview live...
I was like WTF?... But then remembered it was Brian Wilson and it all seemed normal...
Gotta love the Gordon Gekko fone...
Can almost feel a "bull trap" coming on the S&P....
I'm 90% certain we're going to break 1131...maybe get as high as 1160..then, it'll be over. This is going to be fantastic.

It better happen by Friday because markets have been very weak the week after opex.
Damn. Yen is already trading higher. So much for intervention. That makes them 0 for 169.
They should have known better and stopped at 161.8...
this was an interesting post, markets are figuring this out in real time:

maybe 170 will be the magic number, they should start an intervention clock below the debt clock.
AT,
6 standard deviations eh?
lol
black swan fantasy.

I made my comment and went off looking at the charts from an hour and 2 hour perspective. You follow up to me is so appropriate, it is unreal, and at this moment very true.
So here is what I have been seeing (all of these are working off the leading diagonal premise - the question is is it 1/impulsive or A/corrective - from APril 26-May 24):
1) a double three (flat-zigzag-zigzag) for WXY that is not near concluding with a completed in the zigzag with b and c to go. I would expect minimum 1150 here.
2) a double three (zigzag-zigzag-running triangle) for WXY with the first zigzag in to June 3rd (I don't like the look of the zigzag, feels like I'm forcing it as proposed c barely extends beyond a). The running triangle starts off June 8th. I can count 7 waves complete from May 24-today's close. For this to be accurate, we would have to start down VERY soon. This option is interesting because the proposed a of the running triangle runs 89.06 points, b is nearly 1.382 (123.08) of a at 1010.91 and meets it if you use the futures. c nearly equals b. d is nearly equal to a at 89.41 points. Now we have a possible e wave that is equal to a and d in the 128 range with again, you guessed it 89 points. All of this is fibo-rrific but I haven't a sweet f*cking clue what it means.
3) There is still a possiblility it could subdivide or it already has subdivided in to a triple three WXYXZ (flat-X-zigzag-X-???).
FYI - There has never been a known expanding triangle in a combination. (I learned that tonight)
As for if all this off May 24 is a ii or B, for a trader in the intermediate term, it really wouldn't matter. We should get to the lower part of 900 or 800's if it is a 3 or C. On any bounce we would get our answer with a daily close above 1040.78.
For those of us hoping the move off 1219 is impulsive (me! me! me!), if wave iv started at 1173 of minor 1, then we can expect minor 2 to end around that same level. It is interesting that the .786 retracement is 1180.
I know one thing, I have learned a hell of a lot in recent weeks/months and it is certainly opening my eyes to alternatives in counts - especially factoring in the fibo's.
EWP certainly has passages that support all sorts of scenarios right now:
"B waves are phonies"
"If the analyst can easily say to himself, "there is soemthing wrong witht his market," chances are its a B wave."
"...At this point investors are throroughly convinced that the bear (*bull for us) market is back to stay. Second waves often end on low volume and volatility, indicating a drying up of selling pressure."
"E waves in triangles appear to most market observers to be the dramatic kickoff of a new downtrend (*uptrend for us) after a top (*bottom for us) has been built. They almost always are accompanied by strongly supportive news. That, in conjunction with the tendency of E waves to stage a false breakdown trhough the triangle boundary line, intensifites the bearish conviction of market participants at precisely the time that they should be preparing for a substantial move in the opposite direction. Thus, E waves, being ending waves, are attended by a pyschology as emotional as that of fifth waves."
(*I will be extremely pissed if blogger eats this post!*)
FYI - I've been working on this stuff all night since my last post in between tummy time for the lil one and diapering changing and feedings while Mrs. mcHAPPY went to the gym - 'Daddy Waving School' in session - lol.

BTE jobs for those seeking a 'reason' why from the 'media'?
Interesting that the 1.382 of 89 would take us to 1163.
When the government numbers (lies0 catch up with the actual then its going to get interesting.

FedEx Forecast Trails Estimates; 1,700 Jobs to Be Cut
By Mary Jane Credeur
Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- FedEx Corp., the second-largest U.S. package-shipping company, forecast earnings for the current quarter that fell short of analysts’ estimates, and said it will eliminate 1,700 jobs.
Net income for the three months ending in November will be $1.15 to $1.35 a share, the Memphis, Tennessee-based company said today in a statement. Analysts projected $1.37 a share, the average of 19 forecasts compiled by Bloomberg.
The results show that the global economic recovery is uneven, with demand for domestic shipments lagging behind growth in more-profitable international express packages. FedEx and United Parcel Service Inc. are considered bellwethers because they deliver goods ranging from industrial parts and consumer electronics to pharmaceuticals and financial documents.
FedEx said it expects to close about 100 facilities as it combines its FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL operations starting in January.
Full-year adjusted earnings per share will be in a range of $4.80 to $5.25, it said. Analysts estimated $5.21.
Net income for the three months ended Aug. 31 was $380 million, or $1.20 a share, which fell short of the average $1.21 estimate of 19 analyst projections in a Bloomberg survey. Revenue rose 18 percent to $9.46 billion.
FedEx fell $2.42, or 2.8 percent, to $83.52 at 7:37 a.m. before the start of New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares had increased 3 percent this year before today, outpacing a gain of less than 1 percent for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.
