I am rather undecided when it comes to medium term direction of the dollar. My last call worked well (link below), but prices were held by a=c level around 1.1330 area. Next wave is crucial, and the one after that. If we get a corrective structure, that would hint to prices breaking 1.1330 level, medium term trend should still be down, and 1.1230 level will...
Retailers have been champions of underperformance, slicing through support. As a conclusion, all sectors that are economically sensitive, energy, semis, retailers, homebuilders, are in deep trouble recession is maybe being signaled?
Homebuilders are falling in strait line, imposible to even count. Scarry!
XLE is one of the very weakest sectors, broke recent support.
Banks are holding well recently, compared to overall market, but still impulsing down
Semiconductors are important sector for overall market, clear count
Fairly clear count in Value line, a broad index
I find stock market indexes very difficult to read since the top, so I did some digging. First of all, market is very much fractured, sector wise and market cap wise. Smaller stocks and broader indexes have much clearer counts - impulse down is much clearer and easier to count, and I will publish them in separate posts. Some sectors are clearly impulsing down,...
If we leave the general picture aside, and take from it just that the general trend is down, and we zoom in to the hourly chart, we have both ABC structure, and H&S pattern. Market is right on the trend line (neckline), I would press on it as of Monday. Moreover, USD looks bullish across the board, so we have wind in our sails.
I have low confidence in my count past C(circled). First, I am not sure 1(circled) is over, and if it was, I am not sure if 2(circled) is over or not. Pitty, because the trend is clearly down. I would love to see it rally towards the purple SMA, but that is just a fantasy at this point. On a larger scale, this chart is clearly pointing that bear market in...
I have trouble labeling waves, up or down, in GBPUSD. My hypothesis of a c wave up was most likely erroneous, as small degree abc's are developing in succession (not shown). I would rather be inclined to bet on market breaking the recent support.
Minor C is struggling against 114.50 resistance. Also, it is not developing in impulsive manner. Only if we could be able to break it with some certainty into a-b- and c to come, it would became tradable.
We can say with a certain degree of certainty that we are now in minor C wave of intermediate (B), with intermediate (C) to follow. Minor C could travel in many ways, though, and it is difficult to say how far exactly. But it should be monitored from a far (for now!), as (C) will be a sizeable move offering great opportunities.
It is very rare to see such a clear impulse move on such a large degree of trend in forex world, as in USDJPY. B wave looks incomplete, though.
It is safe to say that hopes of for a bull market in crude are gone, as the move up turned to be an ABC corrective wave. Of course, oil is untradable here - we know that it will go down, but it is so oversold that it is also unshortable. On the other hand, we know that the next up move will most probably be just a correction and a great opportunity to target 30-35...
GOLD has found resistance in 1223-1230 area and has moved lower. Since the last move down was an ABC, theoretically, it should move higher. But before buying we need to see a corrective structure developed and completed probably in 1210-1215 area.
