update

START new thread

ts 9am
activity index is at 66
Flux is FLAT LINE

propens index shows potential for some upside but short lived
and lower by days end , possibly lower tomrrow AM.

Sam, selling some positions at 2pm seem like a good plan for today

My original outlook for today was a low at 4pm,
that still might work out as well as open tomrrow

Futures have backed off higher levels earlier this am

Media says that WALL ST liked Mondays sell off and referred to the mkt as having tanked,
but I get The impression, they THINK its just a temporary dip,
and are expecting higher levels quickly

my conjecture?
A contrarian would say that As long as the gen public thinks that way, its still safe to be short- hmmm

more later

  1. The A wave was 22 days

    22 0.382 8.40
    22 0.5 11.00
    22 0.618 13.60

    EW does not require it, but one would normally expect B wave to be 8 to 13 days. Today is 7th.

    Cycle work is better for timing though.

  2. Ravi,
    Would it be possible for you to post trades based on your EW analysis
    such as 'short %25 at es ??? with a stop of ???. Just to help all of us understand how to trade using EW.
    Thank you in advance.

  5. Sally:

    My best read is that we are doing (iv) of (c)

    Bill:

    Crossing back above 992.40 will be danger sign for shorts, specially on closing basis.

    If we are in (iv) of (c), as I read it, the fibs are 998.7, 991.6 and 994.6. The 61.8% at 994.6 is also bottom of (i) of (c) at 994.60 at Friday 11:30. Intraday, a stop loss there should be considered.

    this morning was a gift to go long. 980 was a well defined spot to protect. We will hit at least 992 today imo

    would your stop be ??? Thank you.

  8. pg,
    I like your confidence. Can you give
    us a hint as to why you feel 992 is
    going to get hit?? Thanks

    No worrys SHORTS. On a 15min chart with BollingerBands(40), price should tag the Upper Band which is rapidly closing in on 992 or thereabouts lower or higher. This will be the turning point or reversal down. If price continues uptrend and bands flare then cover in a hurry. But I strongly lean to resumption of downtrend like Jay has analysed. We still need to tag the bottom BollingerBand(20) on the Daily chart.

  12. failed to mention the importance of 984.60 in EW. If (c) is a five wave impulse, (iv) can not get in the territory of (i). If it does, you have to conclude that (c) was a three wave flat that ended yesterday. Does not mean it will shoot up right there, but next dip may be oppty. to get out depending on how the waves look from yesterday's bottom to up there.

  14. As projected by the propens index we are getting a rebound of sorts today- and a LATE SELL OFF should occur making a lower low tomrrow


    Ravi pointed out 22 days, ONE MORE THAN FIbo
    9DAYS for WAVE 'a' of B is tomrrow
    & 14 days does take us to Aug 26th which is ONE more than FIBO.

    the Readings for today and tomrrow
    have flipped places

    today NOW reads
    CAUTION with $$
    Maintain a steady focus
    Avoid a temptation to spend
    Dont be lead in the wrong direction

    TOmrrow NOW becomes
    expect reckless and explosive action & tensions
    NO shopping and be careflu when travelling

    the REASON for this is simple
    the Mars 90 Uranus aspect occurs at 10pm TONIGHT

    One would usually expect such a transit to have its effects on the day b4 its ocurrance, but the evidenc is NOW pointing more clearly to tomrrrow

    Usually the BIGGER decline happens LAST, and thus we are still expecting such to happen.
    ______________________________
    Whats NEXT

    IMO
    any rally today should not exceed 23.6% x 38pts = 8.97 = 988.60
    or dow + 72 pts = 9207

    AT 11:30, the ACTIVITY INDEX IS STILL hugging 66 and has been flat all morning

    Propens index rises from 2990 to 2996, then drops to 2987

    FLUX is FLAT = a negative day

    228bars hit a minor low at 10;30

    11am turned higher

    258 bars as mentioned might actually provide a trun if 329 bars is in play for tomrrow at noon to noon:30

    ________________________
    At 7am which should effect the open tomrrow
    venus is 150 jupiter = expect NO security in this excessive & exaggerated atmosphere

    at 11am on the 19th we have a Jupiter 150 Saturn
    Expansion clashes with restriction
    big plans fall apart

    ___________________
    20th new moon at 6am
    merc 150 neptune at 5pm=
    confusion & confounded facts

    7am on 21st
    merc 180 uranus
    disruptions & confusion

    SO, it does look like the BIG one might just occur on the 20th.
    2 cycle convergences at 2pm which I posted b4 , and 3;30 at 180 bars
    has potential also


    its almost noon and they are reaching for the hod, which might occur anytime between now and 3pm

    more later

  15. Even if we go down to complete (a), (b), (c) in 970 something; keep in mind that will complete a 3-3-5, after a correction a, b, c up we can still make another flat or zig-zag down to complete B.

  16. Ravi,
    Could you PLease post what your trades would be using EW?? Short at?
    stop at ??. Thanks

  17. Jake

    Short here can be considered with stop at 994.60 plus say 995. Or take a chance for 50% retrace and short around 992 with same stop. Use your judgment, trade at your own risk.

    Look at a 15 min graph and maybe you'll see why I see 992 next. 992 is just a target. Let's see what happens at 992ish. I'll probably sell my longs when we get there. Btw, it's not a coincidence that 980 held.

    Dear Members,
    Monday Metals moved down sharply as expected. We expected Monday prices not to rise above last week Friday close. We mentioned that gold should top out $949.80 and silver $14.87 and on the lower-side gold at $923.80 and for silver $13.45 for this week. Copper target range for this week is $287 to $269.



    Lower side prices should be fulfilled by Wednesday and if they trade below lower-side predicted prices, then gold could move up to $909 and silver $12.90. We are still bearish on metals on all terms.



    Tuesday, December gold prices may move up to $943.80, September silver $13.23 and copper $281.80, selling around these prices will earn you good profit in the next 36 hours. First target for gold is $923.80, silver $13.45 and copper $269.



    Oil traded weak on Monday as predicted and we are expecting correction also on Tuesday after touching intraday high on Tuesday $69.70 (October contract).



    Grains to remain on sideways trend for Tuesday and Wednesday but short term prices may gain on Thursday and Friday. Corn and Wheat will bottom out in two weeks.



    Soft commodities will under-perform continuously against all commodities. Tuesday all these soft commodities will show some sign of recovery but tomorrow they all shall adopt negative path again.



    On Monday Dollar moved up sharply as expected. Early morning on Tuesday in Asian and European market it has been losing some stream but later in USA market it will gain momentum. Lower side we expect US Dollar to touch 79.16 (September contract) and by end of day it will stabilize around Mondays closing.

    We are expecting a sharp up movement on Wednesday. Sell Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro and British pound on Tuesday.



    Yen is to remain weak on Tuesday but it will gain momentum on Wednesday. Avoid trading Swiss Franc on Tuesday.



    All market stock markets traded weak on Monday, especially Chinese market and we see more correction on the way in all major markets from Wednesday. Tuesday will be a great day to sell Asian, European and American market on any positive trend.



    Thanks & God Bless

    Sam,
    It is a short term signal developed
    by someone else. It has given me
    very good results, small losses,
    trades with the short term trend.
    And the trades are crystal clear.
    I am 50 percent short qqqq right now. I was 100 percent short from
    8-14 at 39.85 and covered half at 39.05. I will keep posting till I'm told not to.

    I think 990 is the high. Now it is at the top of the down chanel. we should see down leg soon to 963 by tomorrow. There may be short fake out to 992 but for a short time frame.

  32. the only redeeming aspect of the up today for shorts is that it looks corrective not impulsive and has not crossed 984.60. (or 9233.06 for that matter, yet)

    ReplyDelete
  33. did not notice, dji did cross 9233.06. needs a new count atleast for dji.

    Close enough. Sold my longs from this morning's open here at 990.39. We may bust higher or stop short since many more traders are seeing 992 as the limit.

    I think it's risky to short here. We could actually bust higher tomorrow morning so you'd better be flexible. Clearer direction will appear tomorrow morning. imo

    I agree. Tomorrow we could bust
    higher. I'm still %50 short from
    qqqq 39.85. Vada-Cross may stop me
    out after 10:00. I will post.
