The market staged a strong counter-rally today after the market bottomed in the 2300+ area (taking into account pre-market prices), posting one of the strongest rallies since 2008. However, the week closed -8.43% and in a bear market territory. Assuming the sell-off this week is a completed C wave, we should see a continued bounce towards a test of the Trend Average before another bearish leg to lowers lows. However, if the market makes continues to sell-off early next week then we are looking possibly at a W3 which much lower prices to come in the near future. Considering the really bad news will probably come later next week or in a couple of weeks, a continued rally would make sense before another plunge. The nation is finally officially on alert now that Trump announced a national emergency (about 2 weeks too late) and the panic is just barely getting started. So the fundamental picture favors substantially lower lows. Whether they will come in the next few weeks or a few months down the line remains to be seen. At this point it's obviously impossible to predict the ultimate bottom but I think if the number of infections end up being in the hundreds of thousands we could be looking at a similar drop percentage-wise as the one we had during the financial crisis from all-time highs. The equivalent to 666 in today's numbers is 1450 more or less. So perhaps, this is a chance to multiply your capital after patiently waiting for years as I am sure once everything clears up we will see prices go back to all-time highs.
Stay safe and healthy!
