Trump encouraging people to buy stocks again.

I guess the best way to look at the still powerful unfolding Minute [iii] of 3 is to see how much it expands in relationship to Minute [i]. An ideal spot would be a Fib ratio of 1.618 x Minute [i]’s wavelength. So far it has extended a bit beyond 1.38%.
The squiggles will work themselves in due time.
The Global DOW is near a new all-time high along with JUNK.
Again, if prices go above 5845, then the wave count I have labeled is not correct. Wave (iii) of [iii] cannot be the shortest wave. So far, the SPX has a 5841 high. So, we can still label it this way for now.

The pattern with the 10-year yields is a long-winded contracting triangle with breakout upside outlook. Today may be the beginning surge and then the talk will all be about interest and mortgage rates surging. Which is of course unsustainable for the economy, the consumer and our debt-laden governments at all levels.
And the short-term rates are holding steady. Powell cannot lower rates if the market tells him not to. The FED must set the short-term rate to what the market signals (best seen through the lens of the combined 3- and 6-month yields) otherwise interest rate distortion occurs which would be bad for the Fed which after all, is a private bank.
[Update 12:25 pm EST]
The market is making an interesting wedge pattern with “overthrow” at the top. Although this is not the primary count, I have to show it, nonetheless because if it is correct the collapse will be very, very swift back down through the bottom wedge line in total exhaustion. Today’s euphoric gap up and all is wonderful with the world is kind of overdone, don’t ya think?
So, the pattern is interesting but if no quick follow-through crashing through the downside, then it is not a true rising bearish wedge.
Prices gapped right over the last major resistance. I think prices will still struggle here and today’s massive gap up will close in Minute wave [iv] of 3.
Wave (iii) of [iii] cannot be the shortest wave. So, Minute [iii]’s top price must come in under about 5845. The adjusted key wave marker has been raised a bit from 5555 to 5578.
The market confirmed the short-term wave count with a higher recovery high today.
Today might have been the top of Minute [iii], but it could just be the first subwave of (v) of [iii]. I prefer it to be the first subwave as wave (v) of [iii] needs to stretch out a bit perhaps.
The best bear count is a truncated (1) down and an A-B-C up. If this is the count, then today would be a good stopping point, and all waves are minimally in place to consider the count complete. We may have got a “top tick” moment with Trump saying to buy stocks. Just a thought. It’s not the primary count but the VIX is still quite elevated. Any sharp price move below 5555 is concerning for bulls.
Today was pretty much expected. As noted on Friday, after 9 days up in a row for the SPX, it was due for some consolidation. The count is wave (iv) of [iii] of 3 of (5) up. An expected alternate corrective would be a wave (iv) zigzag down versus the wave (ii) flat. The count cannot go below the wave (i) peak or else this is not an impulse wave up as labeled.
The best bear count is simplistic (1) – (2) …I haven’t ignored this count at all, it’s just on the back burner until and unless a price drop below key levels would demand that this count gets primary attention. In theory, wave twos can go as high as they require.
The “upside surprise” of a third of a third wave continues. Best count has the market seeking the top of Subminuette wave v of Minuette (v) of Minute [iii] of Minor 3 of intermediate (5) of Primary [5]. How’s that for a count? LOL.
The market breadth finally expanded again in today’s move which is bullish. It had been declining as prices rose with everyone expecting the bottom to drop out again.
Today is also 9 straight up days in the SPX which has not occurred since 2004.
I could see a small early Monday pop and then a consolidation effort that could take the market a few days to digest. The spectacular gains to get back to 5700 so quickly will likely result in a sideways (relatively speaking) movement of and an ultimate defense of the newly acquired 5600 support level.
The new key wave marker is 5596 give or take.
Yeah, I used every wave degree because it was fun to count today. A Monday morning pop to above 5700 would be fitting and then perhaps some up and down sideways action to consolidate gains.
The way I see it, there really is only one major resistance layer that lies above at roughly the 5800 level. It’s likely going to take some price consolidating above 5600 before the assault above. The market is still in an aggressive Minor wave 3 and daily RSI is screaming higher.
If my count is correct, I show a rough outline of what the rest of a wave (5) of [5] would look like.
Elliott Wave International used to like to say GOLD behaves like a commodity and goes parabolic as many commodities are wanting to do.
Best guess stab at long term bonds. A clear impulse down from peak and a weak rebound. Perhaps it’ll take a total market crash later this year to push money back into bonds.
Someday the dollar will zoom back to the peaks of 1984 – 1985. I really believe that. Remember, bonds sell into dollars and not the other way around. It’s the underlying debt that is danger first of being liquidated. I always kind of laugh when people say the “dollar is worthless and will crash”. Really? As if any other fiat currency is more of a safe haven than Babylon USA’s? Wouldn’t the worthless debt (bonds) be liquidated first? Is paper GOLD going to save you? You can’t cash in your GOLD ETF for any real gold. Good luck on that. A world reset is coming. You know it, I know it they know it and they really aren’t even trying to hide it.
Trump wants the Fed to lower rates, but the market has yet to determine that.
COMMENTARY
Trump’s tariffs are really only about one thing: preparing Babylon USA for war with China, Russia, and North Korea. These are the 3 remaining populations that the New World Order must subdue to enact their global government, bring about their one world currency, and one world religion (Satanism) and it’s going to take WWIII and a global financial collapse and global reset to achieve it. In fact, Putin, Xi, and Rocketman are probably in on it. Satan is actively engineering all this to come about.
The children of the devil are not playing around. Most people underestimate of the tremendous murder they are capable of because we are so well removed from the real horrors of WWI and WWII. Things always come in threes…
The tariffs are indeed forcing American companies to move supply lines out of China, giving time to reestablish. Democrats didn’t cheat for the win in 2024 because at the top levels, they of course are all in on it. As are the Republicans. The Uniparty. Sure, the dumb masses get all riled up on both sides. Bread and circuses.
This is why dystopian games and moves, and TV shows are so HUGELY popular. They are preparing us mentally for a world that really will be dark and scary and murderous and… inevitable. They want people to believe it’s inevitable and now most probably do.
Just a few quick charts from the point of view of the bulls again which is the preferred count based on the overall “three” from all-time peak to spike low, the series of “one-twos” off the spike low, and the rare Zweig Breadth thrust event. The market closed above 5600 which can be said to be bullish along with 8 straight positive up days for the SPX which is very rare.
But there is a key wave marker perhaps in SPX 5553 or so. If prices fall below this, then everything will have to be reevaluated.
Just one proposed squiggle chart. Obviously, there is room to operate a bit. A Minute [iii] of 3 up channel to be followed may be emerging. Perhaps it is too steep, we’ll adjust if need be.
The bullish count which seems to be winning out, has the market about to experience “upside surprise” or the middle of a wave (iii) of [iii] of 3 of (5) up. “Thrid of a third” up.
Like I said in yesterday’s post, for the bears to regain control, they need to induce a very sharp selloff that gains downward momentum and breaks things again. They gave it their best shot today and as soon as I seen today’s gap down early low and the price action for the next 20 minutes or so, I labeled this chart as such, and it held up all day.
The setup today reminds me perhaps of what happened in 2007’s major market October peak. We had a sharp [a]-[b]-[c] down – a 12% drop, spike bottom – and then a series of very large [i]-[ii], (i)-(ii) and i -ii up. (Obviously 2007’s waves are labeled one degree lower). Then came upside surprise and then a quick series of wave “fours” which finished the pattern.
The path back to the top, despite being 1 wave degree lower was fairly quickly. About exactly 2 months. If we extrapolate that the same thing is happening today, by about July 4th we should be close or have already topped. Again, this is just a quick wag based on comparing 2007 to today at 1 degree wave higher.
