Elliot Wave Update ~ 3/15/09

I think we’re headed to 795 eventually, but possibly to 702 before that and here’s why:

1 year fib:

woo1year

The 1 year fib has a trend line that will be meeting at the 795 area soon. Also the fibs line up very nicely with the current movement down towards an eventual 600 bottom from that 795 peak.

6 month fib:

woo6month

If we try our best to count this as a 5 wave up on the 3 wave of the 4 of 5 wave, then we get the numbers in the pink box. This points more towards:

666-758

758-702

702-795

10day fib:

woofib10day

this leads me to believe there are a number of areas that will hit short term while heading lower to 702, but an important thing to note is that this 771 area looks like it’ll hit no matter what, so we’ll either head higher now, or hit that 771 point in the very near future. So if we head lower to 702 from here, that is a GOOD sign to know that the 4 of 5 is not over. This also makes me wonder if a correction is at hand in the next day or two to throw some people off.

WFC and BAC:

BAC and WFC both have room left run upwards. I think we’ll at least hit that 50ma mark, and possibly go above it if we’re headed to 795. Need to watch the banks carefully to see where we could head. Until we hit that 50ma, which is also sitting near fibs, I don’t think the run up will be over.

Conclusion:

I say we head lower at the open on Monday. We MAY see a correction, but I think we’ll see 732 minimum first, then 713, then 702. From there we’ll see 795, which may be just as fierce as the 1 wave up has been. If we head higher, I’m just going to load up more on puts, because the fall is going to happen with 771 being the absolute highest we can go.

April or May SPY puts are a good idea here, there isn’t much up room short term and the downside is a lot larger.
