XAUUSD BUY SET UP Long

Gold/U.S. DollarFXCM

Description

Looking for a buy overall on this pair.

I've added notes to the chart on my analysis.

Comment

My triangle wave count was off, but price looks to be approaching my anticipated target.

If it breaks the next key level of resistance, their may be buy opportunities.

Trade closed: target reached

TP reached.

I have the same idea and agree with it overall. Would you agree that we may need to see a break below 1696 to establish whether wave E is in play?

I feel there is still the possibility that Wave D has not finished yet.

@BeyondEdge, Hmmm...I'm thinking that D might be done. We have 4 completed 3s and waiting on the fifth to complete.

I saw your overall markup, overall we have the same idea. E can potentially overshoot and from what I've seen, most often it does.

What are your thoughts on the chart below?

@kcjack33, I prefer not to trade Wave E as it doesn't always fulfill, breaking out from Wave D instead.

I think your top trend line should be from the candle body close of where your A is originating from. Besides that, you've identified the type of correction (Triangle) and projected the overall outcome correctly.

It is still possible that D has been done in a (Symmetrical triangular correction - Top declining, bottom rising). We can only rule this out if price now goes on beyond where your wave E has originated from (1723). Hope that makes sense and thanks for sharing!

@BeyondEdge, Looks like you were right. How did you determine D was not finished yet?

@kcjack33, I have identified this triangular correction as a set of ascending triangles. These typically have a top flat, bottom rising pattern. Using candle body closes, we can see that Wave C of the second three closed within close proximity of where Wave A of the first three originated from therefore confirming the top flat. So for the fourth three, I am expecting price to close higher so it maintains this flat top.

@BeyondEdge, Got it. Triangles are tricky. Good call.

@kcjack33, Let's see how it plays out... it still needs to take out the high from 8th May to confirm.
