Elliott Wave Stock Market Update - August 17






















Prices failed to hold at support and sold off to break the low made last week as expected. The least bearish scenario would be a zig zag from the top to test 2407 and then rally again to new highs.

But in the end, this correction was expected and Trump is just an excuse. What will be interesting is what will send the market into a real correction (the one that will send prices to the 1575-1800 area). I have always assumed a recession is what will ultimately bring down the market but there is now a chance that it will be a big Trump related event.
