Already the NYSE 52-week high-low differential is on the verge of challenging its 2012 lows. This, too, is rather fitting my Elliott wave view. A rising wedge's 4th wave thought currently early forming finds an element of underlying technical circumstance well on the way to confirming its place in fact.
This measure, too, subtly displays increasing underlying weakness in relation to its performance since early-June. Thus, the market's anticipated, continued decline (completing wave a of 4) might commence sooner rather than later.
Both relative strength (top panel) and momentum (bottom) have decisively weakened to an extent making comparison to similar circumstance going into May of this year worth taking notice. The path to seeing wave a of 4 in fact prove the more damaging (alternating from wave a of 2), while both relative strength and momentum weaken beyond wave 2 lows, could be upon us. Just how quickly this materializes is for twelve days remaining in October's trading, really, to decide at this point.
