Possible DIA Intraday Elliott Wave Interpretation
In the previous post, I mentioned the possible Elliott Wave Count for the intraday DIA 5-minute chart. Let’s look at that in more detail and see if the Elliott Wave count plays out through the rest of Friday:
Wave 1 rose from $82 to $87 for a $5 wave before Wave 2 retraced to the 50% Fibonacci zone of Wave 1 and found support. A fractal “ABC” correction confirmed Wave 2.
Wave 3 began around 1:30 and spanned from $84.50 to $90 for a $5.50 Wave into the close (also completing a “Bull Flag target), which itself sub-divided into a 5-wave impulse, confirming the powerful 3rd wave. Notice also that the sub-wave “iii” itself sub-divided into a fractal 5-wave impulse (visible only on the 1-minute chart) which further gave evidence we were seeing the 3rd Wave.
Wave 4 was sudden and was created by the overnight gap this morning which retraced to sub-wave iv of the prior 3 Wave. Wave 4 also retraced to the 50% Fibonacci retracement of Wave 3.
What’s happening now?
Wave 5 is underway, which has apparently already formed sub-waves i and ii (which subdivided into its own “ABC” Correction).
IF this count is correct, then we are currently in sub-wave iii of the final Wave 5 of the completed impulse. Wave iv is yet to come which – depending on how far sub-wave iii goes, could retrace to $85.50 or so. The final Wave 5 should terminate around $90.50 to $91.00, but if the principle if “Equality” is correct (when Wave 3 is the longest, Wave 5 should be equal to Wave 1), then if we add $5.00 to the start of Wave 4 (at $87.00), then that would give us a Wave 5 ‘equality’ target of $92.00.
We’ll see if this plays out according to my interpretation of Elliott Wave!


bang on! just hit $92…nice job!
Moving up into the week picture on the S&P – here’s what I see.
Today looks like a bear flag which turned at the point that would be needed to continue a “measured move” down to retest last Friday’s low (839?). I could see a retest next Monday and into Tuesday.
Otherwise, perhaps an ascending triangle is forming with resistence at near 1000 and a support line at 880 early next week.
I’d bet a retest will happen.
