Morning  I'm wondering if the last hour of the US500 yesterday gave the wB it turned around at 2037-ish.  This could be the retrace up to wC .  wC if it occurs could be up at your yellow circles area (short zones) - will be looking for momentum divergence up there to indicate strong move down to follow.

Hi Condor,

 

That is my current lead option thinking too, however all the main indices have put in a technical A-B-C (the US and FTSE with Yesterdays high).  I think this could be a messy ending with Oil stumbling in the congestion zone.  If stock markets put in a lower high followed by a lower low, especially breaking below the 7 Apr low (US) then we have to conclude that the turn has already happened.  There is always another entry point so no need to panic, need a lot of patience and nerve just now I feel.

 

Net, I am stalking the turning point I had previously identified but preparing back stop entries in case the markets break lower.

Well, so much for the market dropping. Thank goodness I took my own advice and did the complete opposite of what I though. In the process earning a nice sum with additional positions in play.

 

I do, of course, have a plan for the sneaky Wall Street for when it does go down

That would bring up a double top?  No just short, again the Fib 88%, my last ditch on this one too.  All getting very last ditch everywhere isn't it?  Will the Bulls rule the day or will the Bears regain control, ah that is the question.

Exactly, using the Fib. I think lots of people have been wrong on calling the turn for quite a while(outside of this forum) and yesterday I was wrong again on FTSE & Oil.   But I'm persevering as timing might be off but that doesn't mean it isn't coming.  If the price chart says otherwise then I'll have to re-evaluate.

Ha!  Inside the forum too, myself included.  I am grappling with confirmation bias because I am Bearish but in addition this has been a very strong rally with few, if any, real dips.  As we have always said, the Bulls may have their way and make all time highs again off the back of central bank tinkering but the economy (and I think the earnings will bear this out) don't support valuation at these levels).  The bear is coming but maybe we will have to wait and be patient.

 

Short & Long term I remain a Bear.  If we breach Nov highs though I will turn Bullish for the medium term and seek to buy dips to higher highs.  You gotta trade what the market deals you and not what you feel ought to happen, this is an important part off getting the trading psychology in good shape and I must admit I still have to cement this into my own trading habit.

Your comments make perfect sense and this has been borne out by my trading in both directions over the last couple of months

 

I look for short and medium term trends and react as I see fit

 

Your point regarding trading psychology is very important to make sure those emotions are kept in check

Agree with you both  on trading psychology - this is what i need to get clear in my head (& fast).  The trend is my friend  - & you can't buck it despite what you might intuitively feel - in my case bearish. C

I agree I think short to medium term we may see more highs with the DOW & S&P however the bad news will finally catch up with the US and we will again turn bear and in a big way.

However on the bad news today I have an order in to sell the DOW at 17830 with a SL at 17880 and close the deal at 17710 making my 100+ today.

However it may dip as low as 17665.

Let's see

Very Overbought Rich88.

 

And now the Dow has hit a very interesting resistance line (the lower line of the congestion zone of the Nov 2015 turn).  This is effectively a double Top if it turns here and so far it has bounced away from the line.  Very strong Neg Mom Div (vs both lower peaks in this rally and the previous turning point making up the double top) and also same on Stochastic and RSI.

 

On the hourly chart something very interesting is happening, The rally up over the past few days has been remarkably steep (just look at the Triangle it is contained within.  Additionally there is negative divergence on all 3 of my indicators AND, just for fun, a Kiss back on the previous Triangle line.  Such sharp rallies are indicative of so-called exhaustion buying (if only we had volume data...)

 

The bounce off the congestion zone, the double Top and the set up on Oil gives me the view that we can expect a serious retrace soon (maybe imminently...)  I have a few positions underwater but will hold them a little longer to see how this plays out with stops above the previous turn highs (Nov 2015 - 17978).

 

Interestingly the S&P is lagging, don't know if that is Bearish or just means it will catch up...

Out of the channel now!  With turns at analytically significant levels across the board and bearish indicators everywhere.  As with the FTSE (see other post) this one could drop at least to the Fib 38% level IF the turn is confirmed with an small scale 1-2 move.  That's 900-1000 points IF it happens...

Are Stock markets finally breaking up with Oil?  The S&P500 hourly chart suggests so, while Oil is charging up the stock markets are sluggish (the Dow is a little more buoyant but then it has more Oil stocks in it).  Also the Russell, a leading indicator in my opinion, is in negative territory today.  A break of the lower Triangle line on both could be a key here...

 

This all needs to be confirmed with candle closes but one to watch for battered Bears.

The similarities with 2008 (and indeed with 2000) are striking but I'm not sure we are there yet.  Another leg up to a new all time high cannot yet be ruled out but some other scenarios are emerging on the big picture too.  For now it looks to me like this rally is over, with ending Triangles all over the place.  The move down through the Triangle's lower line is strong and a turn and retrace with a lower high is the key to sealing the end of the rally for me.  At that stage I think we would be on for a significant bear run, at least 1000 points on the Dow but after than we are in multiple scenario land again.  As for me, I'm just focusing on sorting this current move, I'll worry about the bigger picture another day.

That is exactly how I see it, except that I believe we are about to endure another Bear market and it could be much much worse that the other two...  The trick, as always, is to figure out the timing of the final turn down.  Is it now?  Is there one more leg up before it starts?  Who knows but more and more people are coming to the realisation that the Bull glory days are over so even if there is a final run up to new all time highs they will be short lived indeed.

 

Until things clarify swing trading is the only strategy that makes sense to me, now I just need to get better at it, sigh!

Could be, we might get a break and kiss back on the lower line before larger drop.  I fancy price might go sideways with a smallish retrace (maybe back to your wedge line) and then begin a move down.  This could take a day or two to resolve (maybe sometime on Tuesday next at a guess).

 

The problem with the wedge is the length and degree of accuracy of the touches, especially on the bottom line.  I have an alternative that might work as well, a set of parallel tramlines (grey), which are working in conjunction with the ending Triangle (pink).  Just had a break of the lower tram and if we get a little run down further to complete a small wave 1 then a small wave 2 retrace could provide us with a kiss back on the Tramline.

    • KOSPI Composite Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart KOSPI Composite Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Bullish Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Orange wave 3 POSITION: Navy blue wave 1 DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: Orange wave 3 (started) CANCEL INVALID LEVEL: 2381.93 The KOSPI Composite Elliott Wave analysis on the daily chart indicates a bullish trend is present. The market is currently in an impulsive mode, indicating strong upward movement in the price. The structure under observation is orange wave 3, with the present position in navy blue wave 1. This pattern suggests the early stages of a larger upward movement. At this point, orange wave 2 appears to be completed. Now, orange wave 3 has started and is actively progressing. This wave continues the bullish trend, pointing to a further upward price movement. The end of wave 2 marks a transition from the corrective phase back into the impulsive and bullish direction. The next higher degrees align with the ongoing orange wave 3, signifying that the market is anticipated to continue rising. Typically, wave 3 is the strongest and most extended in an Elliott Wave sequence, hinting at substantial upward momentum ahead. A crucial level to monitor is the wave cancellation invalidation point, set at 2381.93. If the price falls below this level, it would invalidate the current Elliott Wave structure, necessitating a reevaluation of the market trend. However, as long as the price stays above this level, the bullish scenario remains in place, with the potential for continued upward gains. In summary, the KOSPI Composite is currently experiencing a bullish trend with orange wave 3 in progress. The completion of orange wave 2 signals the start of further upward momentum. As long as the price remains above the invalidation level of 2381.93, the bullish outlook remains valid.   KOSPI Composite Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Weekly Chart KOSPI Composite Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Bullish Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Orange wave 3 POSITION: Navy blue wave 1 DIRECTION NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: Orange wave 3 (started) CANCEL INVALID LEVEL: 2381.93 The KOSPI Composite Elliott Wave analysis on the weekly chart highlights a bullish trend. The market is in impulsive mode, reflecting strong upward momentum. The structure currently under observation is orange wave 3, with the present position at navy blue wave 1, indicating that the upward movement is still in its early stages. Orange wave 2 seems to have completed, and now orange wave 3 has begun, signaling the continuation of bullish momentum. Orange wave 3, being a key component of the Elliott Wave structure, often corresponds with substantial upward price movement, suggesting that the market may experience significant gains during this phase. The next higher degrees follow the ongoing orange wave 3, which indicates that the market is likely to sustain its upward trend. This wave is typically the strongest and longest in the Elliott Wave sequence, making it vital for confirming the bullish outlook. A critical invalidation level is set at 2381.93. Should the price fall below this level, the current Elliott Wave structure would be invalidated, raising doubts about the strength of the bullish trend. However, as long as the price remains above this level, the bullish trend continues, with the potential for further upward movement. In summary, the KOSPI Composite is in a bullish trend on the weekly chart, with orange wave 3 actively in progress. The completion of orange wave 2 supports the beginning of a new upward phase. As long as the price stays above the invalidation level of 2381.93, the market is expected to maintain its strong bullish movement.

The current mode of the market is impulsive, suggesting strong downward price movement. The structure being tracked is navy blue wave 3, which indicates continued downward momentum aligning with the overall trend. At this point, the pair is positioned within gray wave 1, which is a part of the larger navy blue wave 3 that has already started. This suggests that the market is in the early stages of a downward impulsive wave, with further declines expected as the wave unfolds. The analysis suggests that navy blue wave 2, a corrective phase, appears to be completed. With the conclusion of this corrective wave, navy blue wave 3 has now taken over, marking the resumption of the larger bearish trend. As this wave progresses, the price is expected to continue moving lower, further reinforcing the broader downtrend. Moreover, a wave cancellation invalid level is provided at 2.00400. If the price rises above this level, the current Elliott Wave structure and the bearish forecast would be invalidated, necessitating a re-evaluation of the market outlook. However, as long as the price stays below this level, the downtrend remains intact, and further declines are expected as part of navy blue wave 3. Summary The GBPAUD daily chart analysis reveals a strong bearish trend with the impulsive navy blue wave 3 currently unfolding. The completion of navy blue wave 2 signals a return to a downward move, and as long as the price stays below the invalidation level of 2.00400, the bearish outlook remains in place.   GBPAUD Elliott Wave Analysis - 4-Hour Chart Overview GBPAUD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Trend: Bearish Mode: Impulsive Structure: Navy blue wave 3 Position: Gray wave 1 Next Direction: Lower levels, navy blue wave 3 in progress Wave Cancellation Invalid Level: 2.00400 Analysis Breakdown The GBPAUD Elliott Wave analysis on the 4-hour chart indicates a bearish trend. The market is in an impulsive mode, which signals strong downward momentum. The current structure being tracked is navy blue wave 3, which points to further downside movement in alignment with the broader bearish trend. The market is currently positioned in gray wave 1, a part of the larger navy blue wave 3 that has already started. This suggests that the market is within the early phases of a downward impulsive wave, with additional price declines expected as the wave continues to unfold. The completion of navy blue wave 2, which was a corrective phase, has paved the way for navy blue wave 3 to take over. This shift marks the start of a new downward impulsive movement, expected to push prices further down as part of the overall trend. The analysis also highlights a wave cancellation invalid level at 2.00400. If the price rises above this level, the current Elliott Wave count would become invalid, requiring a re-evaluation of the market outlook. However, if the price remains below this level, the bearish trend will likely continue, and further downside movement can be expected within navy blue wave 3. Summary The GBPAUD 4-hour chart shows a strong bearish trend, with navy blue wave 3 currently unfolding. The completion of navy blue wave 2 signals the beginning of a new downward impulsive wave. As long as the price stays below the invalidation level of 2.00400, the bearish outlook remains intact, with continued downside movement expected.
