CHKP Breaks Out


CHKP broke today from a multiyear base. It is not often that we see clean rectangle bases of this length. Personally, I will be looking to enter on a pullback to 28.00 with an initial target of 38. The next targets would be the fib retracement levels to the 2000 high. However, I expect it will take some time, perhaps a year to reach the 61.8% RT level, but given the length of the base it is likely to be hit.

Yesterday it looked to me like JJC had made a 5th of a 5th wave & short one at that. I thought that it would lead the mkt for a bit allowing for another NH in the stk mkt. However, if it was a 5 of 5, it appears to be coincident instead of leading.

I was hoping for a JJC island top today as a clear signal.

It's interesting how many 50E's are also in the vcinity of the June highs.

It is still possible that the JJC is leading. Yesterday's action may be wave v of 3, which leaves 4 and 5 to come.

This makes some sense to me, as the JJC might peak in wave 5 ahead the stock market in September by a about two weeks, just as it bottomed about two weeks ahead in June ahead the July low in stocks.
