IPM trade matrix - trade 11 (part 3)

Yesterday's market decline was very interesting. Elliott Wave pattern suggests that the market traced out a 1 and 2 waves in DJIA and SP500, while small caps have traced out a series of 1s and 2s. Primary reason for this assessment stems from the fact that after yesterdays bottom, market rallied in an impulsive manner I.e. 5 waves.

Furthermore, ipm turn windows bottom date and recent buy signals are two other reasons why one should expect a rally.

At the same time, recent sideways action might have confused a lot of investors, who were looking for a sharp rally. But after looking at some sentiment measures' extreme optimistic reading during last weekends updates, it seems like market is trying to workoff this excess by going sideways and tiring investors.
