50 DMA Challenge?

The market sold off a bit more today but found bottom at 1772, which basically forms the neckline for the potential Head and Shoulders I posted about on Friday.  So far the bounce looks like it might be headed towards the 50 DMA but we must see a W3 tomorrow or a C wave to challenge this very important trend at 1813. If we apply 1.618 to the coming bullish wave then we would get 1814 as a target assuming the 1781 W2/B low.  However, if this turns out to be a 5 count then the target will be 1825, which will be a test of the Trend Average. Another possibility is further downside tomorrow with today's high being a W4 but I lean towards the counter rally.

I executed my trading plan and bought XIV as the market got close to the 1768 target I had in mind. I closed the position at 1790 (11/11) with a very nice profit but then I decided to double down on my profits by getting back in towards the end of the session. So I will double what I made today if I am right on the W3/C or likely lose all my profits from today by setting the stop at today's low. I normally like to take some profits just to be safe but I guess I'm enjoying the adrenaline rush..lol. One thing I do know is that what started the selling was an excuse to sell not really a change in fundamentals. So should the market tank, specially Chinese shares, I will be buying more of them with some of the cash I've raised in the last year.. to me this is a no brainer.
