Here's the assessment from a futures (ES - december) perspective, where we play the "where-is-the-top" game once more. [red- bearish] A topped at 1262.75. C topped at the AM high of 1272. It's all the way downhill from here.
[blue - "immediately" bullish] A topped at 1266.25. B is an expanding triangle approaching its end. New high next.
[purple - bullish] A topped at 1268. B is a flat approaching its end OR B is a more complex structure (flat - X - three).
[EOD] Stocks -
At the open, we observed that SPX has a chance to reach Dan's virgin box area. The market is now at the edge of the box at the close (Chart 1). Chart 1 offers a (red) count where the market has topped following a double zigzag rebound (with truncation). This count corresponds to the red count in Chart 2 which zooms out.
Chart 3 to the right offers squiggle counts on the decline to go with Chart 1.

[7am] DAX, ES update -
ES - yesterday's PM ramp did not register a higher high. No higher high during the overnight session either. Let's see what the AM pre-market ramp does.
ES/DAX - at the same time, no clear downward count either. A bunch of threes for some time.
Bank of England - rates unchanged
