Peter Mathers TradingLounge

The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by a quarter point, triggering a sharp market drop. Elliott Wave analysis now hinges on whether this initial decline forms a three-wave correction or a five-wave impulsive move. If it’s impulsive, we’d expect a corrective rally followed by another five-wave decline, confirming that Primary Wave 4) is underway.

Elliott wave outlook:

S&P 500 (SPX): Wave v) of 3 of (A) of 4)
NASDAQ 100 (NDX): Wave v) of 3 of (A) of 4)
DAX 40 (DAX): Potentially completed Primary Wave 3) top
FTSE 100 (UK100): Wave 4) in progress
S&P/ASX 200 (XJO): Wave v) of 3 of (A)
