He reckoned 2% to 3% retracement which he calculated as 1320 nominal target. Actually 1320 would be 3.65% from the 1370 high on the 3rd May whereas 2% is 1352 and 3% is 1329.
SPX made its first low on the 5th May at 1329. Then moved up to 1354 high on the 10th May and since come down to closing price of 1338 on 13th May.
As I said below the pattern suggests will make a low of 1318.07 to 1306.62 area being 100% sym and 127.2% sym ext respectively, the former being just a twitch below the 55DMA and the latter being a twitch below the 100DMA. Pattern as per daily chart and 60 min chart.
If true, the move lower will be violating EW rules for previous pattern up from the 1249 low on the 17th March which means I would be on alert for a very much lower move altogether. From this perspective the previous low made at 1329 needs to hold for Ashraf's short term bullish bias to hold good. Also the trend support line from the 17th march low is a now a little above the 1329 level.
About 600 area would be true value based upon US fundies imo :-) perhaps a lot lower if Congress fail to cap their debt very soon indeed.
