AEX Elliott Wave Musings Update

This update should be read in conjunction with AEX Elliott Wave Musings which was revised on 13 October, 2019.

It presents the tentative AEX Elliott Wave count as I imagine it.

Supercycle Wave 5 up - Cycle Wave 1 up - Primary Wave 5 up - Intermediate Wave 3 up - Minor Wave 2 down.

For a graphical display look at the AEX Monthly Charts (AEX Monthly Chart I and AEX Monthly Chart II).

Don't hang your hat on this kind of analysis. It will be wrong more often than not. It is only a human and therefore feeble attempt to create some order out of seemingly random market movements.

I do not trade or invest according to these views. For that purpose I only use the Trend Trade & Investment Strategies which are explained at the bottom of this blog. Please also read the disclaimer there.

AEX Elliott Wave Musings

My current Elliott Wave count assumption is that we are in Supercycle Wave 5.

A Supercycle Wave 4 manifested itself during the 2000-2009 period.

Since then we have been in Cycle Wave 1 of Supercycle Wave 5.

Guesstimates as to where the Primary Waves of Cycle Wave 1 of Supercycle Wave 5 have ended are as follows, Primary Wave 1 in 2010, Primary Wave 2 in 2011, Primary Wave 3 in 2018 (its Intermediate Wave 3, ending in 2015, had the highest RSI), Primary Wave 4 in 2019. In this sequence Primary Wave 5 might end somewhere in 2022.

An alternate scenario is that Cycle Wave 2 of Supercycle Wave 5 has already started and that we are in Primary Wave B up. At the moment I do not rate that possibility high.

Don't hang your hat on this kind of analysis. It will be wrong more often than not. It is only a human and therefore feeble attempt to create some order out of random market movements.
