Since the Inverse C&H, the price broke below the brim level and since then has been on a downward trajectory. The downtrend, was the other confirming indicator that this was about to drop. I definitely didn't expect the drop to be short and explosive, but for a trader it's always better to be in and out. Now, there will most likely be some chop in the...

M Formation has formed on Gold. However, there is a BIG support with the neckline and the major 200MA. As long as price stays above, this analysis will e wrong.

M Formation has formed on the JSE ALSI 40. While the SP500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq have been going up this year, it strangely looks like the JSE ALSI 40 has broken it's correlation. Not only has America NOT been leading the JSE, it seems like the problems (economically and politically and socially) are showing signs for the country. Now, either we get another...

I'm really not good at analysis when markets are in a range and predicting the breaks unless the breakout patterns are strong and impending. IN this case, it could be a Rising Wedge, which requires a breakout to the downside. Or it could be a rising Wedge, where the breakout can turn up and go above the apex. I'll route for a breakdown, purely based on the...
Inverse Cup and Handle seems to be forming on the daily chart for gold. This does not give safe-haven vibes. Unless it's for a short. If the price breaks below the brim level (support), we could see downside to come for the metal. Other indicators confirm downside. 21>7 We just need the price to break below 200MA and it's all down from here. RSI<50 Target...

Anyway, upside is to come bease on the Reverse Cup and Handle. The price...

Symmetrical Triangle formed on ALSI and the darn price has just been moving within it for months on end. Any JSE short term trader is most likely struggling with the whipsaws. If one is not diversified in Forex or Indices - I don't know how they are making an income this year. Regardless, the price has broken below the triangle and below the 200MA for the...
