Elliott Wave Analysis: Unfolding Triangle on S&P500 Pointing Higher
On the S&P500 we see price trading higher away from the wave 4 consolidation, where index completed a slow and sideways triangle correction. This triangle pattern occurs prior to the final wave, which means we see current rally taking price higher into final wave 5. Once wave 5 fully unfolds, a new higher degree three wave set-back can follow on the S&P500. Ideally, we will see limited upside around the Fibonacci ratio of 161.8 later this week.
A Triangle is a common 5-wave pattern labeled A-B-C-D-E that moves counter-trend and is corrective in nature. Triangles move within two channel lines drawn from waves A to C, and from waves B to D.

Triangles can occur in wave 4, wave B, wave X position or in some very rare cases also in wave Y of a combination.
