Rally from 1516 low was in 5 swings so we looked for a 3 waves pull back in wave B to hold above 5/13 low before another leg higher in wave C to complete wave (X) bounce. The low at 1516.56 needed to hold for this view to remain valid.

Russell futures held above 1516.56 low and rallied as expected. The rally from secondary low at 5/15 unfolded in 3 waves instead of 5 waves so we adjusted the wave count for first leg up from 1516.56 low to be in 3 waves i.e. wave W and a FLAT wave X as the connector. Russell Futures completed the bounce in the blue box between 1564.15 – 1585.75 and turned lower. The decline from the blue box is in 5 waves so we expect the bounce to fail below 1570.77 high for extension lower.

Russell bounce in 3 waves to fail below 1570.77 high and has now broken below 5/13 low. This makes it a 5 swings incomplete sequence down from 5/6/2019 peak and calls for the next bounce to fail for more downside towards 1464 – 1398 area at least. Near-term focus is on 1500 – 1489 area to complete 3 waves down from 5/16/2019 peak. This area can produce a bounce which should fail and find sellers for another extension lower towards the above mentioned area (1464 – 1398)
