“Each of these four scenarios is a viable Elliott Wave count at the moment, due to the topping process we are in.” says ET.

For those who MINIMALLY grasp EW, the 1 down 2 up (we’ve topped) versus 4 down and 5 up (top is next) can be tough to read in real time. The market doesn’t stamp labels on price as it moves on. 2 up in bear can be just a few points below where 5 up in bull would be (lower high vs higher high). A triangle NOW would be “NICE, NICE, VERY NICE” to confirm where we are (a 4). That’s asking for Christmas all over, so soon after.

fyi, that second chart is the count I was remarking on a week ago, late that Thursday.
