Another downleg in progress...

My reading of the charts says we have another segment down which would be a wave '5'...the recovery from yesterdays plunge was wave '4', I believe...The next down leg could complete late today or Monday...We should go below yesterday's low before a real relief rally starts...

Hi Mark,

Do you think we have only this one more leg down?

What do you mean by 'relief rally?' I imagine it could mean just a few day or week rally up before another possible leg down in the current correction. Do I have that right?

Addendum to my last post:

I think mostly my problem is I don't know anything about wave theory and what the numbered waves mean.

Hi Gail,
No, I just mean that this segment of the decline has one more leg...then you get a rally for some days, then another leg down, and so forth...Markets rise and fall , generally in 5-3-5 patterns, or sometimes 5-3-5-3-5 patterns, and I think we are right now in '4' of the first '5'...

Best,
Mark

Thanks Mark. I really appreciate your reply.

Gail,
I should mention that the markets are so short term over sold that it _could_ bounce Monday and go higher before it eventually turns down for the last leg of this segment...
