Bullish Crossover

Today 02/02/22 the S&P 500 (SPX) crossed above 4582.24, the bottom of the supposed Minute wave “i”.  In a standard Elliott impulse wave the fourth wave can not cross into the territory of wave “one.”  This crossover invalidates  the standard impulse wave count and increases  the chance  of a new  SPX  all-time high.

The daily SPX chart courtesy of Trading View illustrates the recent action.

The message from the daily MACD is  mixed.  Today the lines  had a bullish crossover.  However, at the 01/24/22 bottom the Histogram and lines had no bullish divergence.   This  could mean  before a new all-time high is  made, there’s another drop below the 01/24/22 bottom- with a bullish divergence.

Short-term momentum is  bullish implying  higher SPX prices  over the next few trading days.

Hold off on taking long or short positions.  

Longer-term, the evidence implies a  major top for US stocks is  forming.  If so, there could  be several opportunities to establish short positions.
