Classic topping pattern on ES

Recommended Posts

On the daily ES chart we have a double top and a shooting star candlestick on high volume. This is a classic exhaustion spike pattern. If you look at the SP500 cash charts it's a classic shooting star candlestick. This all points to a pullback or at least consolidation in the days ahead.

notouch,

 

in my opinion this shotting star is not going to work as it uses to cause of the next things that I attach in the chart. please I would like to study my chart and tell me if you see different points. It would be very useful for me.

 

thanks

High volume on a shooting star suggests trend reversal, not continuation. It shows there was a transfer of stocks from strong holders to weak holders. Anyone who follows VSA can see the bearish implications of that. Like I said though, I wouldn't short this market. It might just be a little pullback before another leg up.

Nice charts notouch. As a candle trader myself (although I don't use daily charts) there could be a very aggressive short based on your shooting star with high volume. Obviously this would be an aggressive counter-trend trade, but there is a potential setup there for sure. I prefer to see some more bearish conviction before taking a short into that uptrend, but for those willing to be aggressive, I could see a short entry with a stop above the double top.

 

I guess I don't have the stomach or nerve to be shorting into this uptrend until there's some more bearish conviction. Of course, if the short works, getting in now is ideal, but I would not be willing to short just yet based purely on the candle pattern and volume.

In The Last Chart Cause Of I Have A Lot Of Information Inside I Draw The Last Wave Wrongly (the Light Blue One). Based On My Wave Counting Analysis The Correction Of The Past Wave 1 Has Finished (green Wave 2) And A 3rd Wave Is Beggening (green Wave 3).

 

A Shooting Star Seems To Be Formed But I Dont See It As Strict Shooting Star Pattern. For That Reason, This Shooting Star, In My Opinion, Could Be A False Bearish Signal (see The Charts)

It's not necessary to look for a "strict" shooting star. That's just nit-picking. In any case, the one that really matters is the cash SP500 which is a strict shooting star. The 0930-1615 ES chart also finished down on the day. What really matters is what price action is telling us, i.e. a lot of new longs entered the market and drove the price up but strong selling drove the price down again.

Walter The First Chart Of The Past Post Wasnt The One I Wanted To Show You

 

ok I see... now , is it my impression or the second "green" wave its to small ? shouldnt at least have a .38% retracement to be considered a wave ? what metrics do you use to determine a wave ? thanks Walter.

hi walter,

 

first, sorry for not to answer you earlier but, today it has been a very intensive day and possibly clarifying to know exactly where we are in the markets and what can come next. I have been all day studying the charts and I couldnt replay you so.

 

I have made a new chart for you recounting the elliott waves for the ES. I know that counting elliott can be very confusing if you dont have practice with it. to count waves can seem simple but, believe me, it is really complicated and you have to take in account a lot of things like subways, significative highs and bottoms, retracements, alternation rules, volume bars, fibo levels and so on. and, aswell in different time frames to be sure that coincedes in all of them.

 

the new chart is quite detailed and clear. hope you enjoy it. I attach too a DJ transport daily chart quite clarifying

Great analisis MX ¡¡ it really has a lot of clear evidence that we should break up uhhh ¡¡¡ that "shooting star" its really an inverted hammer, as you made prior correction on other post, to be a shooting star it should be higher than previous bar... so yes we will see what happens.... cheers Walter.

Here's what the Candlestick Man himself (Nison) says about shooting stars:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=1523&stc=1&d=1179363112

 

So it was a shooting star (but I agree not an ideal one, especially as it wasn't above the previous candlesticks) and we had a little bit of weakness in the morning but it just turned into another buy the dips scenario. The strong close puts the bulls back in charge.

I dont think Nison is the last resource on candlesticks... but the name of this candle varies from shooting star to inverted hammer depending where its situated in comparison to previous bar... classical candle books teach this... the reversal "power" of a shooting star happens really when she is alone on the top...

I agree with you there walterw. I'm going to do some more research into candlesticks because unlike intraday trading where candlestick patterns are never perfect, on the daily charts candlestick patterns often are perfect. The last big correction was preceeded by the classic three mountain top pattern and the three black crows candlesticks. If this rally ends in a shooting star it will probably be a gap up to new highs then a massive rally to new highs then a decline back to the open.

    • Date: 14th March 2025.   Gold Surges Past Record High as Market Volatility Persists.     Gold Surges Past Record High as Market Volatility Persists Gold surged towards $2,994 per ounce, surpassing its previous high set on Thursday. With a 2.6% rise this week, gold is on track for its most significant gain since November. Meanwhile, gold futures in New York comfortably exceeded the $3,000 mark, reflecting strong investor sentiment toward the precious metal. The robust performance of gold this quarter extends its strong annual rally in 2024. Market uncertainty, exacerbated by the US administration’s aggressive trade policies, has dampened risk appetite for equities, pushing the S&P 500 into correction territory this week. Central bank purchases increased ETF inflows, and bullish forecasts from major banks have further fueled gold’s ascent. Trade Tensions and Market Impact Former President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions by proposing a 200% tariff on European alcoholic beverages, including wine and champagne. Additionally, he reaffirmed his stance on retaining tariffs on steel and aluminium and signalled that reciprocal tariffs on global trade partners could take effect as early as April 2. As we approach the second quarter, reciprocal tariffs could drive another wave of market turbulence, solidifying gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset. Gold and Equity Market Reactions The upward momentum in gold has also lifted mining stocks, with Australia’s Evolution Mining Ltd. reaching an all-time high. Global holdings in gold-backed ETFs increased to 2,687 tons, marking the highest level since November 2023. Analysts at major banks remain bullish on gold’s trajectory. Macquarie Group recently forecasted a potential spike to $3,500 per ounce in Q2, while BNP Paribas revised its outlook to show gold prices consistently above $3,000. Gold traded at $2,983.50 per ounce in the Asia session, reflecting a 14% year-to-date gain. Meanwhile, silver edged lower after nearing $34 per ounce, while platinum and palladium recorded gains.     US Stock Market Recovery Amid Uncertainty After a sharp sell-off, US stock futures rebounded. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite futures gained 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively. Despite the slight recovery, Wall Street remains on edge following the S&P 500’s descent into correction territory. Trump’s firm stance on tariffs has added to market concerns. During a meeting with NATO’s secretary general, he dismissed any possibility of easing trade restrictions, acknowledging that further market disruptions may lie ahead. Government Shutdown and Economic Indicators Adding to the economic uncertainty, a potential US government shutdown loomed over Wall Street. However, a breakthrough emerged late Thursday as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer signalled a willingness to advance a Republican-led stopgap spending bill. Today the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey is expected to shed light on how consumers are coping with inflation and trade disruptions. Last month’s report indicated weakening economic confidence, which could have further implications for spending trends. Asian Markets Rally Amid China’s Economic Stimulus Asian stock markets saw a strong performance this morning, brushing off Wall Street’s losses. Chinese stocks surged after state-run banks and financial institutions were instructed to support consumer spending. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index jumped 2.5% to 24,038.85, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.9% to 3,420.65. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 added 0.9%, while Australia’s ASX 200 climbed 0.6%. China’s National Financial Regulatory Administration issued directives aimed at boosting consumer finance, including encouraging credit card usage and providing support for struggling borrowers. Economists, however, argue that broader reforms—such as wage growth and enhanced social welfare—are necessary for sustained economic recovery. Wall Street’s Struggles Amid AI Stock Declines Despite positive economic data, including lower-than-expected wholesale inflation and strong job market indicators, stock market turbulence continued. AI-related stocks, which have been at the forefront of market gains, faced renewed pressure. Palantir Technologies fell 4.8%, Super Micro Computer dropped 8%, and Nvidia fluctuated before closing 0.1% lower. Tesla also struggled, declining 3% and extending its 2025 losses to over 40%. In contrast, Intel shares soared 14.6% after announcing Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO. Oil Prices and Currency Movements In commodities, US crude oil prices rose by $0.46 to $67.01 per barrel, while Brent crude increased by $0.44 to $70.32 per barrel. The US dollar strengthened to 148.63 Yen, while the Euro dipped slightly to $1.0845. Conclusion Market volatility remains high as investors navigate shifting trade policies, inflation concerns, and economic uncertainties. While gold continues to shine as a safe-haven asset, equity markets face persistent headwinds.
