The S&P 500 finished higher by 39 bps to close just below the previous all-time high. The dollar index moved higher again, this time by more than 40 bps to close at 95.92.
S&P 500
My wave count for the S&P 500 was almost destroyed, but it managed to hold on. Yesterday, I noted that it was possible that wave B may have corrected too much of wave A and that we would worry about it later. Tuesday's price action confirmed my suspicions, with the futures nearly reaching the highs of November; however, it failed to overtake those highs.
If this is to stick today, then what was completed was not a wave B but a wave 2. If we rally Wednesday, then the whole concept is broken, but if we drop, we should see it extend to around 4,575 over the next few days, and then more after that. We will wait today for confirmation.
Euro
The euro has gone into a full meltdown mode, and I don’t see it stopping until it gets into the 1.11s.
Yen
The dollar is also breaking out against the yen and can probably climb to around 118.
Roku
The chart for Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) doesn’t look all that encouraging. Sure, its RSI is hovering around 30, but it probably needs one big flush down before there is a short-term rebound on its otherwise long-term deflating stock price. A drop to $228 would likely set the stock up for a nice short-term rebound.
PayPal
PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) was up some yesterday, and it looks like that gap was starting to get filled.
Disney
There was a lot of heavy options betting in Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) on Monday, and it looks as if the stock is trying to bottom here around $157. It is enough to make me think that we will likely see a rebound back to $168 to $170 over the near term.
