SPX500: We continue to wait for bullish growth to the maximum of 4815.42

Jing Ren Orbex

We talked about the SPX500 index a few weeks ago. Today we see that the market continues to develop a major impulse consisting of sub-waves I-II-III-IV-V, or rather its final part.

It is assumed that the cycle correction IV was completed in the form of a primary triple zigzag, after which the price went up.

Impulse V is under development. In the near future, the market may move up to the maximum of 4815.42, which was marked by the cycle impulse wave III (it is not visible on this chart).

Also, let's look at the second scenario. Perhaps the construction of correction IV can continue. There is an assumption that its actionary wave tends to equality with the wave.

In the near future, the price is expected to fall to the price mark of 3335.47, at which the sub- waves and will be equal to each other.

The market can move down, forming a minor impulse 1-2-3-4-5 to the specified level.

Crypto’s $638 million buyback boom may not be as bullish as it looks

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols reportedly spent $638 million to buy back their native tokens in August, up 17% from a year earlier. On the surface, the buyback trend suggests the cryptocurrency industry is maturing fast, adopting one of Wall Street’s oldest tools to bolster valuations and distribute revenue. The headline becomes less impressive once the number is opened up.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight
