The major stock indexes failed to rally past the first ten minutes of the trading session. This was another sharp Friday decline by the close. To find the last time the major stock market indexes rallied on a Friday we have to go back to May 27, 2011, which was just prior to the Memorial Day holiday in the United States. Today, the major stock indexes finished lower by about 1.00 percent. Anyway you slice it or dice it, this was an ugly close before the weekend.

Next week will be the final trading week for the month of June. Problems continue to escalate in Greece and the rest of the Euro-zone nations at this time. If Greece gets cleared up over the weekend, or sometime in the near future, there will be another nation right behind it that will need a bailout. This certainly looks like it is going to be a very bumpy and turbulent summer for the markets. Investors must now come to terms with the fact that this is going to be a traders market for the rest of the year.

Dow Elliott Wave analysis

8118304283?profile=originalSome violent moves today thanks to the aftermath of Bernankes speech yesterday then the Greek bail out anouncement this afternoon.

As I mentioned in last nights post, this correction could turn into a triple zig zag and that is what I think is happening. We have moved down to the bottom of the old channel (if you ignore the preceeding expanding triangle which overshot it).

I think we will see a rally up to the top line to form wave B followed by another sell off to the bottom line to form the last wave C. After that there MUST be a big rally as there is no such thing as a quadruple zig zag! So some violent ups and downs to come (reminds me of that day out at Drayton Manor with the kids a couple of weeks back!)

One last thing ... the wave A today may not be finished as we have a potential new lower trendline thanks to that exp triangle. I will continue to count the waves and try to assess what is happening next few days.
