We are seeing the exact same pattern as mid-late July. I have noted all the key events on the chart, including the down channels that have the exact same slope.
You can see in July that the S&P was able to clearly beak above the 0.854 fib level several times before making a clear breakout and then a retest. That clear level of bullishness was the trigger for the FOMO rally of August and September.
This time around, the S&P is not able to break above the 1.236 fib level. It has touched it several times, but each time it has been rejected. I would expect this to continue for the next few days.
On or around Dec 7th (Monday) the rising wedge intersects the down channel edge. I am willing to go out on a limb and say if it hits this line without breaking above 1.236(3681), then it will drop to at least the major (red) 1.146(3571) level.
Friday and Sunday afterhours/premarket will be the difference maker IMO. Can they bulls use the low volume times to push this market above, just like they have down since the March bottom?
