This is the second bear case, and it just so happens to be my primary scenario on the US Stock market [for now]. Just wanted to get the simple counts out of the way, before sharing this one.
---
Using the expanding diagonal fractal for the first wave from ath, it's possible the spx500 is only in "wave a" on this local move up (of a larger a-b-c) this is currently the scenario i'm personally leaning towards.
let me explain why:
-lines up with my dxy projection. -insider buys, are about to flip insider sells. -retail short interest is at record high levels. -retail is usually wrong. -so how do we get retail out, while still dropping the market?
1 word. chop.
------
If the market chops for another 3-6+ months, every last bear standing will get absolutely rekt. And only after-which, once the short interest disappears, and the last put expires worthless- will the markets see the final cataclysmic collapse.
---------
Stay safe, and don't go into a trade without a plan.

Ps. i recently called the expanding diagonal fractal out, and it ended up front running my target, which was kinda unexpected. I understand why it did as of now, and it was an important lesson for the future.
