INTERMEDIATE-TERM: CPCE TOP SIGNAL MAYBE CONFIRMED
2.8.0 SPX:CPCE, the trend line is held today so the top could be confirmed – at least a short-term top. If CPCE could still hold the trend line tomorrow, then definitely this time is different from what happened in June and therefore the chances are getting higher that the intermediate-term was topped.
SHORT-TERM: PAY ATTENTION TO VIX
2.0.0 Volatility Index (Daily), as mentioned in the After Bell Quick Summary, the bull’s hope is VIX which looks very similar to the previous “skyrocket to a new high” setup, while the bear’s hope is maybe the 3rd time is different. Well, who’s going to be? We might know tomorrow. For details about the VIX trading setup please refer to 6.2.0a VIX Trading Signals (ENV) and 6.2.2b VIX Trading Signal (BB). I’ve also included the back test summary for those 2 trading setups which shows a good winning rate but just so so gain/loss ratio. Anyway, in order to trigger these 2 trading setups, VIX must drop back into ENV or BB, right now, not yet.
1.0.2 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 60 min), if indeed bear is lucky this time that there’s no big rebound then the text book target for Symmetrical Triangle is around $100.94. This also coincides with the target calculated by Elliott Wave Update ~ 1 October (Updated 30SPX). I also include the chart below. And here is how the target is calculated: Wave (III) = 1.618 * Wave (I), which is, 1069.62 - ( 1080.15 - 1041.17 ) * 1.618 = 1006.55.

6.3.2 Major Distribution Day Watch, forgot to mention this in the After Bell Quick Summary. Today is a Major Distribution Day (NYUPV:NYDNV > 9), this means 68% chances a green close tomorrow.
