Cup o' coffee anyone?

Recommended Posts

I am awaiting short term retrace moves on Gold/Silver maybe copper and Oil.  I see something similar on Coffee right now.  Since I caught the top and turn (on the second opportunity at least) I have been tracking the whole move as a potential 1-2 bearish retrace.  With the turn yesterday at around the Fib 62% and fast drop away I am reasonably confident of marking this up as a wave B completion and into a wave C.  There are several candidates for this to terminate, price action and indicators will be key to spotting the turn but when it does turn the next phase would be a very strong wave 3 rally with many 1,000s of points potential.  For now I am short tactically and happy to wait for a few 1000s points to cash and leverage back into long term Long positions.

With so many markets potentially waking up: commodities, USD, possible stocks (???) it could be a very busy first quarter of 2020...

Potential Coffee breakout of a down sloping channel on the 1H coincident with the Fib 50% and where Wave C = Wave A, a typical EWT relationship.  There is PMD on the 1H and Daily charts and EWT rules for a retrace are met.  Clearly the chance of a further drop is still very much there and we may yet see a small bearish retrace and retest of the breakout zone, if confirmed but this is still a decent shout for a Long IMO.

That potential 1H chart breakout Long scenario reversed and price is once again testing the Fib 50% on a lower low.  If this support level is broken, and I expect now it will be, then the next 2 levels are:

  1. The Fib 62% around the weekly channel breakout zone (11175)
  2. The retest if the weekly channel line and wave C = wave AX1.618 (Golden ratios) and circa Fib 76%

Hurry up and wait...

Possible bullish breakout occurring on Coffee.  By no means confirmed and even if we do get a rally it could still break down for a test of that weekly channel line that was broken to the upside previously.  There is compelling PMD here and price has been stopped by the Fib 62% zone.

Would you buy back in at this point, after coffee has taken a huge dump?

No!  I bought the breakout but got stopped out for no loss when it reversed, as I thought it might.  A break lower suggests a retest of the weekly channel line and Fib 76% level around 10500-700 range.  A break back above 11,500 would signal a rally resumption.

Not sure I follow you.  4000 points up, 4000 down so far.  Seems like a great swing trade to me...

For me that's only in hindsight, I would have been long and expecting to buy dips and lost out big time if I was trading it.  I am very jealous of people who can see massive swings up and down coming without needing the benefit of hindsight.

No need to be, swing trading is a war of attrition a lot of the time, often taking many attempts to catch the move.  It doesn't suit everyone.  Key is to find the strategy that suits your mentality and practice it ruthlessly.  If you prefer trend trading then you need to have patience to wait for the trend to present itself.  Actually it is perfect for people who trade on the side but not that good for those who want to day trade.

Robusta is sitting right at the bottom of a level that has not been broken since Nov'19. Going to watch and see if it breaks or puts in a swift reverse.

If it is anything like Arabica I'd say breaks lower.  I see new lows into the bottom of the range zone now on Aribica.  Having said that, I do anticipate a relief rally at some point so maybe...  Wont last though.

Arabica looks like it is due a relief rally.  Might happen of the current short term support area or could drop a little lower before it breaks into a rally.  Longer term I see this market making new lower lows and breaking into my market bottom zone past 8000 (or 80 cents if you prefer) before the big rally I was tracking.  I think that overall the big reflation trade that some market players have been talking about is suspended rather than cancelled and will require that USD bear market to stimulate it.  So for now I see further commodity bearishness but longer term I see a big bull market coming. 

From a technical perspective I see the following:

  • The price action since late 2014 appears to be in a descending channel (or triangle) conforming to a classic A-E EWT wave count.  That would place the market in a final wave down that should retest the lower channel line at or lower than 8000.
  • The monthly PMD still holds with a lower low; the development of theweekly/daily indicators remain to be seen.
  • The current bearish phase may be conforming to a 1-5 motive wave.  This would be confirmed by a relief rally that marks the wave 4, after which a final wave 5 would be indicated.
  • The wave 3 may be hard to spot but likely candidates include right now and down to the 9350 support level.  We might even get a short relief rally before another drop that then kicks off the wave 4. 

It is hard to spot the wave 4 turn right now so it might be better to wait for it to happen and then seek to go Short to ride the final wave 5 down.  If wave 4 gets back up to about 11,500 to close the gap then there would be a decent amount of point to get in the final bear phase and trading with the motive trend is safer than counter trend trading.

After a channel breakout Coffee looks to be in retreat.  I think this could be the second leg in an A-B-C relief rally to a wave 4 before another significant leg down.  Risky trade but I went Short above the gap with the hope that that gap would at a minimum be closed, thus allowing me to move stops to BE.  Now holding to see how far it will run.

Bear move looks set to resume.  I as assuming this to be a wave B (brown) in A-B-C (light blue) form at present with a target of circa 10,200 for the end and turn back into the wave C (brown) to conclude the 3-4 (green) retrace at which point I would expect a resumption of the long term bear market until we get suitable levels and circumstances for that mega bull market, but that could yet be a long way off...

It is of course possible that the rally was all the wave 4 retrace we are going to get so 2 scenarios remain in play.

Possible turn at wave B on the Fib 62%.  Would need to see a channel breakout to the upside to confirm.  If it does break into a wave C it should run quite fast and then I would be targeting the Fib 38% off the prior rally top for a wav 4 (green) end and turn back bearish.

The breakout materialised and I managed to get Long.  While price remains below the previous top a reversal into a continuation of a bear move is always possible but the strength of the move and the various indicators suggest this rally has more to go.  In terms of how much more beyond the wave A (brown) top it is essentially impossible to say because there are at least 2 strong scenarios:

  1. A relatively short retrace to the Fib 38% area (11,600ish) before a resumption of the bear move
  2. A much higher A-B-C (blue) format to at least the Fib 62% and then a large move down to new lows

The reason everything is possible is that the long term charts show that price is in a narrowing channel that may well be tracing a classic A-E pattern.  Within such a pattern the waves can be very hard to call however for now I am seeing scenario 2 as a slight favourite, which could be wishful thinking...  How price action progresses in the approach to the 11,600 resistance area will be important to watch.

Taking a huge dump today, corresponds to your idea of a Wave C.

It certainly looks like it.  Turned right on the Fib 50% too.  I'd expect a relief rally at some point but when that is over it should be a straight run down to that 80c area.

With a wild chart like this, an enormous spread (£20 minimum to open), and a huge margin requirement, I'm surprised anybody trades this ... coffee options sure, spread bets - no fking chance.

With that being said :P coffee looks like it's going higher right!

    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend Mode - Impulse Structure - Impulse wave Position -Wave 4 Direction - Wave 5 Details -  Wave 4 has reached the extreme area and bounced off the 2300 MG1. We will expect wave 5 to progress higher. However, it’s still in the early stages. Invalidation below 2245.17. Gold has undergone a retracement since its peak on April 12th, following a remarkable surge to a fresh all-time high. Despite this pullback, the underlying bullish momentum remains robust and is anticipated to reassert itself once the corrective phase concludes. In today's analysis, we delve into the potential areas where Gold may discover the necessary support to propel its next upward movements.   Zooming into the daily chart, our Elliott Wave analysis commences with identifying an impulse wave sequence originating from the low at 1614, marking the termination of wave (IV) at the supercycle degree back in September 2022. Presently, the supercycle wave V is unfolding, currently navigating through the third leg of the cycle degree, denoted as wave III. Within this wave III, classified as an impulse wave, we find ourselves within the third sub-wave, indicated as blue wave '3' of primary degree, further delineated into wave (3) of intermediate degree. Within this intricate structure, the price action appears to be nearing the culmination of minor degree wave 4. Consequently, the impulse sequence characterizing the intermediate wave (3) has yet to finalize, let alone the overarching supercycle wave (V). Thus, Gold's bullish trajectory remains firmly intact, advocating for a strategic approach of buying into the dips within this robust trend. Presently, the price appears to be undergoing a dip corresponding to wave 4 of (3), with an anticipated subsequent uptrend in wave 5.    Transitioning to the H4 chart, our focus narrows on the completion of wave 4, manifesting as a zigzag pattern since the peak on April 12th. Conventionally, the termination of the third leg of a zigzag typically occurs at extensions ranging from 100% to 138.2% of the initial leg's length from the subsequent corrective move. However, an extension beyond 138.2%, particularly to 161.8%, tends to invalidate the zigzag pattern. In this context, we cautiously assert that the zigzag for wave 4 might have concluded, with a critical level of invalidation identified at 2245. Nonetheless, further confirmation is sought through the emergence of more bullish candle formations. Meanwhile, the target projection for wave 5 remains at 2500, aligning with the continuation of Gold's upward trajectory within the Elliott Wave framework.

    • Surprising US PMI drops contrast with Europe’s gains in services, pushing EUR/USD higher as markets recalibrate economic outlooks and monetary policy expectations.   Source: Getty   Forex Euro Pound sterling European Union Inflation EUR/USD Written by: Richard Snow | Analyst, DailyFX, Johannesburg   Publication date: Wednesday 24 April 2024 07:28 Flash PMI data provides unflattering US outlook, Europe improves German and EU manufacturing remains depressed but encouraging rises in flash services PMI results suggest improvement in Europe. UK manufacturing slumped well into contraction, but also benefitted from another rise on the services front. It was the US that provided the most surprising numbers, witnessing a decline in services PMI and a drop into contractionary territory for manufacturing – weighing on the dollar. EUR/USD rises after us PMI shock EUR/USD responded to lackluster flash PMI data in the US by clawing back recent losses. The euro attempts to surpass the 1.0700 level after recovering from oversold territory around the swing low of 1.0600. The pair has maintained the longer-term downtrend reflective of the diverging monetary policy stances adopted by the ECB and the Fed. A strong labour market, robust growth and resurgent inflation has forced the Fed to delay its plans to cut interest rates which has strengthened the dollar against G7 currencies. The surprising US PMI data suggests the economy may not be as strong as initially anticipated and some frailties may be creeping in. However, it will take a lot more than one flash data point to reverse the narrative. If bulls take control from here, 1.07645 becomes the next upside level of interest followed by 1.0800 where the 200 SMA resides. On the downside, 1.06437 and 1.0600 remain support levels of interest if the longer-term trend is to continue. EUR/USD daily chart     Source: TradingView EUR/GBP surrenders recent gains EUR/GBP rose uncharacteristically on Friday when risks of a broader conflict between Israel and Iran subsided. In addition, the Bank of England’s(BoE) Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden stated that he sees inflation falling sharply towards target in the coming months, sending a dovish signal to the market. Today the BoE’s chief Economist Huw Pill tried to walk back such sentiment, stressing that the bank needs to maintain restrictiveness in its policy stance. He did however, echo Ramsden’s remarks by saying the committee is seeing signs of a downward shift in the persistent component of the inflation dynamic. EUR/GBP appears to have found resistance around 0.8625 and has traded lower after the PMI data, even heading lower than the 200 SMA. A return to former channel resistance is potentially on the cards at 0.8578. Prices settled into the trading range as central bankers mulled incoming data and the prospect of a first rate cut appeared a fair distance away. Longer-term, the ECB is on track to cut rates in June, meaning sterling will extend its interest rate superiority and is likely to see the pair test familiar levels of support.
