Nano wave iii is now well beyond the length of Nano wave i and exceeding 2x ratio with that wave, which further confirms the impulse structure. We continue to count three waves up from the Micro wave 2 low as Nano wave i = 2960, Nano wave ii = 2893 and Nano wave iii in progress. A move below 2893 would invalidate the current Micro wave 1 and Micro wave 2 count. This is a good start for an impulsive structure, and we’re expecting the Micro 5 / Minute iii could go as far as 3500 level. Our nominal target for Micro wave 3 would be 1.618x Micro wave 1, which gives 3180. This confirmed Micro wave 2 completed at the 2856 low in October, and Micro wave 3 has been ongoing ever since. SPX continued the rally this week to reach another all-time high at 3120, and appears to be breaking out of the nested 1-2 structure that’s been in place since May. We’re developing the criteria on how and when we could phase out the alternate count. However, the DOW all time high this week did not eliminate the alternate count yet, so our alternate count for a potential breakdown is still posted on the DOW in the public chart list. We are bullish as long as the 2930 level provides support going forward. A breakout above the September micro 1 high at 3020 has occurred. Our preferred long-term count is posted on SPX, which reflects that Intermediate wave i of Major wave 3 is underway from the Major wave 2 low in December 2018 and continues to subdivide into Minor, Minute and now Micro waves. Primary wave III has been underway ever since and the Major wave 1 high of Primary wave III occurred in October 2018.

The Primary wave I high occurred in May 2015 and Primary wave II low in February 2016. In the US, the long-term count remains unchanged with the Super Cycle SC2 low in March 2009. Core CPI was 2.31%, down from previous month 2.36%. Producer Price Index was 0.4%, up from -0.3% last month. Industrial Production was down at -0.84%, which was worse than consensus of -0.4%. On the economic front, weekly unemployment claims were up 14K at 225K and worse than forecast of 215K. Friday opened with a gap up at 3107 and rallied to the high of the week and finish the week at 3120. Wednesday opened lower at 3084 again then rallied back for the rest of the day to finish at 3094. Tuesday has reached 3100 at the first hour, but gave back the gain and close at 3092. SPX opened the week from a gap down opening at 3080, then rallied up to reach 3087 by Monday’s close, from last weeks close at 3093.
