PREPWORK FOR 9/30
HEADER - How much more swinging until we get something meaningful?
SUMMARY - At least until 9/30.
DETAILS - This what the trends say is minimum amount of sideways before something gives. Needs to hit first 7 boxes to get excited. So check back around 9/28.

Comment:
q) I won't go into technical math bc it takes too long to explain
r) to sum it up
s) WE SHOULD NOT HIT 1930 BY 10-11 AM ET FRIDAY
t) IF WE DO
u) then watch out for runaway spike to 1947
v) BUT WE WILL STILL CLOSE FRIDAY UNDER 1930 no matter what happens
w) this 1947 scenario is not a favorite by any stretch
x) BUT IT WASN'T A FAVORITE WHEN IT HAPPEND IN 2008 EITHER

Comment:
a1) for chart above:
b1) I note that bc the techs on the left side IS STRONGER THAN THE RIGHT SIDE
c1) that still does not make it a favorite, but you can't say it won't happen until 9-10 AM tomorrow

Comment:
d1) after I looked at everything again, it's gotta be at least 20% for 1947 scenario
e1) so what I think I see is 90% 1925, 80% 1930, 20-25% 1947 all before U.S closes Friday
f1) how will we know?
g1) the zone that dictates this is 8 AM ET TO 11 AM ET
h1) standard forecast says 1922 by 11 AM ET
i1) outlier runaway scenario has 1927 by 9:30 AM ET, 1938 BY 11 AM ET, max vol after 1PM ET
j1) that's a wrap for tonight
k1) good luck tomorrow morning (if you're not bullish, I would sit this one out)

c) that would be the entry if this plays out
d) if tomorrow tags 1947, odds of this trade happening really worth the time
e) even with 2-way vol coming afterwards

NOTES 4, 9/15 8:24 AM ET 1917.XX from 1920.xx minutes ago
a) retracing again, and again looks like 1912 is target w/ outlier at 1907
b) if it retraces there, that would be a good entry for next 50 hours
c) that would be to 11 AM ET /thursday
d) odds of skipping retrace do exist but we will see

Comment:
e) 8:35 AM ET 1917.xx after touching 1915.xx
f) the setup for anything above 1930 has broken
g) turns out it only lasted to about 8 AM
h) I didn't have time gto check it carefully
i) so what now?
j) that puts 1906 retrace on the table now

Comment:
k) so 1906 would be strong entry for next 50 hours
l) do we still do 1930 today?
m) I don't have enough time to answer that with confidence
n) in the mean time though, chart at top is still base case
o) so that implies one attempt to break above 1920 today
p) so today's top should once again be after 1 PM ET, I would ball park 1920-1927

Comment:
q) the one part that seems off is, if we do tag 1906 first, the 2-way vol would shrink in this case
r) so that would 1928-1930 close to midnight Sunday to Monday

Comment:
s) to sum it up at 8:52 AM ET
t) the most likely path counting only 12 days of regressions say that:
u) 1911 then 1925 today makes sense
v) 1925-1930 is a coin flip right now

o) if it does, this will be PM TUESDAY TO AM WED
p) WED IS ALSO FOMC and that is it

NOTES 8 - 8:12 AM ET 9/19, BREAKING TREND AND BINARY OUTCOMES.
1) price has held 1935 area too long, creating 2 major outcomes for today
2) one is spike up 10
3) one is spike down 10-30
4) don't have time to cast regressions
5) basically the chart at top is starting to fail and I can't give a replacement in time
6) that's a wrap for today from me

10:11 AM 9/19 SHRINKING 18 HOUR VOL ZONE
a) so 18 hour is 1/2 of 36 hour
b) this zone has shrunk considerably which means a couple of things
c)) first, if you replay chart at top, price has just went back to box 3 area
d) so it intends to get to 1923 inside 4 hours so, let's say 2 PM ET
e) once it's there one of two things are going to happen
f) first the 30 point drop 1936-37 high?....

Comment:
g) continuing...
h) so that would mean 1907 floor, 4/5 of the way would be 24, so let's say 1912-13
i) 1912-1913 should get hit BEFORE NY CLOSE
j) in this scenario...
k) it should keep the slope of the drop going in a straight line, whatever that line is
l) if that line breaks... then IT WILL STALL 1922-24 area... then continue the the drop slower
m) I can't tell if that's WED morning or WED afternoon after FOMC
n) in the second scenario, the floor shoud be a bithigher at roughly 1912-1917
o) that's the quick read from my end on the developments today

r) to sum it up... the setup is for moving to 1924, then continuing to 1906-1910 area
s) it has decided to not do this quickly
t) the odds remain in this pattern until 5 PM ET, about an hour after NY closes
u) we should have decisive price action by then

i) 2:46 PM ET 1930.67, perfect down setup is beginning to reverse on 10 and 15 second bars
j) what does that mean?, well nobody is selling
k) it has until 3:45 to make or break this setup now, so 60 minutes and the clock is ticking

NOTES 11 - AFTER LOOKING AT CLOSER...
a) so first, I had to sure it wasn't moving to 1950's and 1980's afer FOMC
b) regressions do do not say right now
c) right now at least 6/10 or 7/10 ratios say bear move for tomorrow
d) so whatever move happens ultimately, should not be far from chart at top
e) all that's really saying is we are on course to hit 6, 7, maybe all 8 boxes
f) BUT THE EXACT PATH keeps shifting
g) what I think will happen short term is
h) DOWN FIRST to FOMC
i) where to? the floor keeps rising so I'm thinking 1923
j) then FIRST REACTION TO TO FOMC should then be SPIKE UP TO 1937-1943
k) then SECOND REACTION IS RUG PULL

q) 10:33 PM ET , so it appears like we already have a bottom at 1927.xx or 1928.xx (depending on your ticker)
r) ) that means the setup is up from here to FOMC
s) and possible new relative high 1943-1947 post FOMC followed by rug pull
t) if no new high (topping) 1937 or less, then floor is 1916 area
u) if new high, then floor is 1923 area
v) the check down should complete by Thursday morning
w) whatever the case maybe, we just tagged 4th box (replay above, by a smidge)
x) in all extrapolations right now, we are on target to hit boxes 5, 6 and 7
y) it just won't be as pretty
z) the entry long is still due 9/29

n) first - I think - that we have a bottom
o) we should know tomorrow or Friday
p) second, should that the be the case the next top is around 1965
q) this will be either this Friday or next Tuesday/Wednesday
r) in both situations, the next 2 runs to 1935 area will get shot down before it legit move alll the way up

g) the curves predicted on 9/12 as they do so today that this is the next turn
h) in the case that we do go to boxes 6-7-8, I really need the energy to do around the clock support starting 9/29
i) I am exhausted and really going to take a break from this for at least a few days to get my energy back
j) if I am correct (this post is titled PREPWORK FOR 9/30), 10/01-10/13 will be spectacular for us

n) to close out this week for me, consider:
Comment:
o) this break is a big deal for bulls, but it needs to hold
p) from my end, with ALL THE TRENDS ON,
q) this area is the last high value area for bears if they intend to change the 9/29 setup for bulls
r) even though 9/27-9/29 should feature one more low point (based on the our forecasted pattern)
s) that low point would be extremely favorable for a long entry
t) so like this:

v) so even though prices are exactly the same at the "cross between" the two routes, they imply ENTIRELY DIFFERENT OUTCOMES
w) as I type we fell from almost 1924 to 1918 and about to lose this critical area, bears haven't given up yet any means
x) so what would be the limit of price action that still preserve our 9/29 entry?

y) the most annoying high 2-way vol (meaning giant swings) that still has a bull out come would something like this, vs the other two paths:
Comment:
z) for chart above:
1) so you know the triangle pattern, it usually indicates strong price action one way or the other
2) so the rule is "fade the first reaction", bc if it breaks one way and the reverses to other, the second move is REALLY STRONG % -wise for that second direction
3) but sometimes it breaks BOTH WAYS, and reverses up the first direction
4) completely annoying both sides in the game
5) this usually happens bc of HIGH INTEREST OR VOLUMJE INVOLVED THAT CRITICAL AREA

7) but the chart at top is the highest probability generic pattern for this move for since 9/12 and remains so at this second in time
that's a wrap for me until next Tues/Wednesday
8) I am expecting a high
9) I am not sure whethe or not it '"stays in the triangle"
10 I will add if and when I figure it out and have some time

2) really bc bulls dropped the ball in a super critical spot
3) if you replay chart above its following the hilight again
4) but the regression picture this morning had bull's running to 1936
5) the important part is closing 1930 or more
6) that would literally shut the door on a bear comeback next week
7) that would seal the deal on 9/29 entry log
8) it's like NFL football, bulls made a turnover
9) now bulls have to make it to mid 1930s within 2 hours after Sunday open
10) or bears have a route to force price to miss box 7
11) I'm busy Monday so I will update next Tuesday

1) I have enough now to say we will 7 for 7 boxes
2) I also have enough to say we are going to hit 2080 ON OR BEFORE 10/13
3) there are 2 major issues
4) first, will we drop hard from BOX TO 7 TO BOX 8?
5) this matters a great deal bc it determines WHEN OUR ENTRY WILL BE
6) and second, what is the strategy once we have entry is completed?
7) I will focus on solving the entry for this coming week?

6) so in that sense, 2070-2080 remains a fair target for 10/13

3) this will place the whole forecast in doubt
4) why?
5) if you replay chart above
6) this is the first time price has underperformed the boxes meaningfully the entire way
7) which is fine, if bulls stick save it by closing the day at 1922-1924
8) if they don't and bears hold 1915-ish area or lower...

9/25 4:04 PM ET, POST WRAP UP
1) so this is how it goes...
2) if you read the intro it said check back 9/28 to see if it hits 7 boxes
3) before Sunday open, I foresaw odd that bears would force price under BOX 7 and said that explicitly
4) after reviewing everything, I thought bulls would run it up this morning
5) after I said bears bought 24 more hours I STILL THOUGHT bulls would close the 4 hour bar 1922-1924
6) but failure to keep the rally going would I spell lower and Lowe
7) this is the nature of prices
8) it's just highly unpredictable
9) so that's it for this one, hope it was worth your time
10) I don't think we are in for a reversal up
11) this is bc the bear/bull regression marker in my software says it's too late for bulls
12) I don't have a chart ready
13) so what now for 10/13?
14) it should bears in control to 1840s..
15) but bears need more zig zag to spike down hard
1) so this is how it goes...
2) if you read the intro it said check back 9/28 to see if it hits 7 boxes
3) before Sunday open, I foresaw odd that bears would force price under BOX 7 and said that explicitly
4) after reviewing everything, I thought bulls would run it up this morning
5) after I said bears bought 24 more hours I STILL THOUGHT bulls would close the 4 hour bar 1922-1924
6) but failure to keep the rally going would I spell lower and Lowe
7) this is the nature of prices
8) it's just highly unpredictable
9) so that's it for this one, hope it was worth your time
10) I don't think we are in for a reversal up
11) this is bc the bear/bull regression marker in my software says it's too late for bulls
12) I don't have a chart ready
13) so what now for 10/13?
14) it should bears in control to 1840s..
15) but bears need more zig zag to spike down hard

9/26 6:40 AM ET, CONTINUATION NOTES
1) so we are 1912.xx from 1909-1910 overnight low
2) AT FIRST LOOK, price is aiming for 1890 within 2-6 TRADING DAYS
3) but needs a bit of sideways from now having stalled before reaching 1908
4) this sideways should lead to 25-30 pt spike down
5) I'm looking at 1920 to 1890
6) that's a very rough assessment for 2- 6 days out
7) if I have time, I will post something new
8) anybody want to hire an excellent around the clock gold forecaster?

9/26 8:15 AM ET, BULL MIRACLE ROUTE
1) there is one bull route left
2) it has to hit perfect perfect
3) so until it does, it's theoretical
4) bulls must take price to BOX 7 ON WEDNESDAY AND HOLD IT FOR THURSDAY
5) touching BOX 8 FOR FRIDAY
6) so in that sense bulls are still live

7) I am personally rooting for this route
8) bc of its implications for the LAST REMAINING GOLD BULL ROUTE LEFT FOR NEXT 24-27 MONTHS
9) that is if gold intends to be bullish ...

Comment:
10) in the next 27 months window
11) it REALLY NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RUN TO AT LEAST 2040-2060 BY 10/13
12) I can break it down statistically but from my end that's what it says
13) we are essentially at one of the last gold bull scenarios

14) the absolute last one is not very statistically unlikely
Comment:
15) 9:33 AM ET
16) just saw 1904.xx
17) so last chance for bulls mean 1920 TODAY, 1932 WED

18) This spike down from 1911 is awkward and early.
19) It sets up a reversal up.
20) The nature of this reversal demands it start soon.

21) 9:42 AM ET, bulls need 1914 by 10:45 AM ET.

25) there are no more realistic windows for bulls reversal up after this
26) 1914 or higher 11:00 is likely last deadline

a) for chart above:
b) so triangle get broken up at "a" and again at "b"
c) most of the time "b" is the way it will go w first stop at 1870s at trend line below
d) I also said sometimes, it does a-b-c like this:

9/26 1:23 PM ET END OF POST. HERE IS NEXT ONE W/ THE FOLLOWING CAVEATS:
1) I can't see how the first box happens
2) it's my gut saying that, and my gut is ALWAYS WRONG
3) I don't have the "total" evidence to make this chart yet, hence I noted in the summary that
4) I don't want to talk about this until BOX 4
5) with that said, here is DRAFT 2

4) I don't want to talk about this until BOX 4
5) with that said, here is DRAFT 2
I am live for 2530-2690. Start here:

www.tradingview.com/chart/XAUUSD/6DbGXwIK-2325-2450-WALK-THROUGH-TO-FOMC-REACTION-PART-4/
a) if you zoom in and replay price action so far...
b) you will see that price has so far under perform the hilghted path
c) so that is implying a retest of the floor (which should hold) in about 20 hours...
d) and that it will be 12-24 hours late for START OF the move to the third box
e) but should still get there on time
f) meanwhile box 5 is FOMC
g) current trends say no change to forecast to the START OF BOX 5
h) with at least 2 competing extrapolations for boxt 5 and box 6
i) but at this time, this route is still the favorite
j) I want to post DRAFT 2 with binry out come next Tuesday
k) that's it
