We still have two main scenarios on the table. I still favor the bearish scenario arguing for a breakdown under the support at 3,571:
Let me zoom-in and highlight specific moves so you will see why I think that the whipsaw action this week looks totally identical to the pullback on September 16 – 20, 2022:
Note that the blue corrective a up, b down, c up structure was followed by a strong impulsive decline (red line). That red drop in mid September in subwave -a- down was followed by a small black shallow corrective zig-zag in subwave -b- up:
And if ES-mini keeps following the same path we can get something like that:
Now let’s have a look at lower probability bullish scenario:
Because bulls have been holding ES-mini over the critical support 3,571 the bullish setup is still alive.
I keep referring you to a similar pattern played out by GDX in 2021:
Bears need to break under 3,571 to make that bullish setup much less probable.
In conclusion:
I consider the bearish path my preferred scenario, and
we may get a bounce up to 3,655 – 3,665 in subwave c of wave -b- up powered by release of PPI Index scheduled at 8-30 AM EST on Wednesday. And only then we may finally get a break under the support 3,571.
