$ES #FailedBreakdown #LongSetup

Yesterday afternoon I published a quick update and shared a wave count that considered the spiky drop as the final subwave c of a subwave -b- down of a wave -iii- up, the low of a corrective decline making a higher low.

Look at the tricky -a- down, -b- up, -c- down structure,, where the subwave -b- up was itself strctured as a-b-c shaped as the Running Flat structure:

Note the final spiky drop in a subwave -c- down. Apparently that was a panic driven structureless drop. This type of an exhaustive drop is exactly how the second leg down in a corrective -a-b-c structure looks like.

I note yesterday afternoon:

Bulls need to reclaim that level within 24 hours to trigger a bullish failed breakdown setup.

And bulls reclaimed that broken support only 1 hour later. This is how that chart looks like now:

Now let’s zoom out to a 120 min chart and see where this rally may be heading:

The wave count allows bulls to keep pushing ES-mini in an accelerated way up to 6,600.

This is how a micro cycle analysis looks like:

Yesterday ES-mini could make a large 160 period ( 20 day cycle ) trough.

We cab expect a minor peak of a 40 period ( 5 day cycle ) peak on Aug 4.

We got another bullish -i- up, -ii- down setup for a rally where the wave -i- up has made a higher high and subsequent drop in -ii- down made a higher low.

looking at the green chart drawn by my brand new CAT Channel Pro indicator we can note that bears have teste the lower boundary of the green channel:
