Last week’s “anticipatory guess” or forecast from Thursday for a Friday wave 2 technical-support bounce in the indices to precede a wave 3 drop accurately foretold this week’s markets but is not always so. 6/10 ranges printed as of Thursday.

 

Next Week’s Predicted Ranges (Thursday Night) 

E-mini S&P 500

High Range 3226-3172; Low Range 3038-3009

Euro FX

High Range 1.134-1.130; Low Range 1.116-1.108

Neutral-bearish weekly range; 20-day,20-week support before Weekly-chart inverted hammer candlestick sell doublets & 3-Day chart’s out-of-value, modified doji break toward 1.113 targets below.

High Range 3108-3078; Low Range 2989-2969 (outlier 2939 monthly pivot)
