Good Thursday Morning, MPTraders! August 6, 2026-- Pre-Market Update:-- Strong, but not strong enough Earnings reported last evening in SNDK -11%, WDC -15%, and APP -19% have put the kibosh on the Tech Sector (QQQ -7%) this AM... SNDK's negative acutely negative reaction to Earnings inflicted damage to the otherwise promising setup ahead of the news. The fact that SNDK pressed and sustained beneath 1250/70 near-term support has morphed the post-7/29/26 rally pattern into a more complex counter-trend configuration.
Today the market opened higher but retraced lower shortly after the open. We have since recovered some of that drop but are still holding over yesterday's low and, more importantly, over the larger-degree support zone, keeping the impulsive move up off of the July lows very much intact. This slow and sloppy action is starting to look like we may be forming an Ending Diagonal up off of the 8/6 low, but we still need to break out over the 8/10 high to further confirm that this is indeed the case.
While the market finally began the rally we wanted to see to the next target overhead, the manner in which we seem to have rallied is leaving a bit to be desired from a structure standpoint.As a purist, I would view the rally today as completing the 3rd wave within wave (3) of v of (iii). That means we need one more rally to complete just wave (3) of v of (iii). But, something looks off about the structure.So, for now, I am going to remain a purist and expect another rally to complete wave (3).
