The other day, the FED's projection for just 2 rate cuts in 2025 catalyzed the marketplaces to introduce the correction we were currently preparing for 5 weeks earlier. Specifically, utilizing the Elliott Wave (EW) for the SP500 (SPX), we discovered at that time
“if the index can remain at least above SPX5880, and particularly recently's low at SPX5696, we need to permit it to preferably target SPX6060, potentially as high as SPX6175 before the next correction of around 5-7% can begin.”
We backed that up 2 weeks earlier as we concluded
[The SPX] can reach the common c=a extension at SPX6175ish, however the 0.764 x extension is around $6060. The normal grey W-c target zone is $6145+/ -10, however the market can likewise deviate from that. We still anticipate the red W-iii to reach SPX6060-6175, from where the red W-iv can emerge.”
Far so excellent, as we based our analyses on the reality that the index's advance because the August low looked like an Ending Diagonal (ED) structure. As a tip, an ED's waves (i-ii-iii-iv-v) make up 3 waves: 3-3-3-3-3 = abc-abc-abc-abc-abc. W-iii generally targets the 123.60% extension of W-i, determined from W-ii. The W-iv then tends to remedy back to the 61.80% extension, after which the last W-v targets the 161.80% extension. We were taking a look at W-iii to reach a minimum of SPX606 in this case. See Figure 1 listed below.

Real to the ED's course, the index peaked at $6099 on December 6. That's just 0.6% off the perfect target, revealing that the EWP is an astonishingly precise tool for anticipating the monetary markets. This considerably assists our premium members remain on the best side of the trade and provides exact and sensible trade-trigger levels.
Hence, with the other day's -3% day, the red W-iv “correction of around 5-7%” we prepared for revealed itself and ought to partition, as revealed, over the next couple of days, to the perfect target zone of $5735-5810. Contingent on the index holding above a minimum of $5670, and specifically $5400, we should anticipate the ED's course we have actually been tracking for weeks to unfold. W-iv is underway and must bottom out around $5735-5810 over the coming days before W-v can reach a minimum of $6280.
