We Probably Are Finishing The Last Bullish Impulse. I Dont Really Know But, Seeing The Charts We Could Not Go Much Futher Than Todays Highs Before Seeing A Big Retracement.

 

I Attach 2 Es Charts 15 And 60 Minutes.

 

P.d. Brownsfan. Because You Asked Me Which My Position Was And I Told You. I Tell You Now That I Have Closed My Longs Right At This Time. Hope It Is Useful For You To Know.

Mal - the spinning top you have labeled as a shooting star does not necessarily signify the end of the up move. Your candle preceding this shooting star is also a high volume spinning top as well. So you have 2 back-to-back high volume spinning tops on a 60 min chart. One could argue that the spinning top, like a doji, symbolizes an equilibrium in the market, not signifying the end of the current trend. Had you shorted the initial high volume spinning top, there's a good chance your stop was taken out on the next high volume spinning top. And as of the time of your screen shot, you have a bullish hammer as well.

 

Some food for thought.

On the hourly charts we've seen all sorts of bearish candlesticks on the way up but none of them have been the top. I think we'll see a very bearish candlestick or pattern on the daily charts before any pullback begins. I wouldn't read too much into the hourlies.

ES & YM moving in tandem.

 

ER2 & NQ moving in tandem.

 

No more taking your YM & ES trades off ER2 and NQ data for relationship for the time being.

 

I noticed this a couple of days ago.

brownsfan,

 

I would like you to give me and explain in more detail spinnings and volume bars relationships with charts please. I dont know too much about these interactions. specially about what you say of the equilibrium market please

 

thanks MX

 

notouch,

 

I know there is a possibility to keep growing still, but I trade the dax (a very, very volatil index) so, having the weekend coming, a war running and oil prices growing, Im scared of having a big downward gap in dax monday morning. this wave is getting to its end, there is, probably, some extensions of this wave to come but, I dont like to run my longs to the top end just in case anything happens. there is also another possibility that we are in wave 3 still of 5 and there is a bullish run to come but it's scary.

 

thanks for the comment

 

wsam,

 

I dont understand what you really try to explain. Im not from the states and have some english language limitations.

 

thank you

 

I attach two dax charts because of I have a big doubt about the last elliott wave counting. each chart is a different scenario fot the next days. I would be very greatful if some ellotticyan with experience could bring me some light to my doubts. it can be also useful for those traders who hold long positions still.

 

thank you all again. it seems we are starting to understand to each other. the beginning was a little difficult and agressive in the texting but, now starts to be softer and these comments can be very useful for all of us and economically good for our trading accounts in the future. sharing different visions of whats going on in the markets make us think different views and being much more aware of changes and trends

Hi Malvado, I am glad we interact in a civilized technicall realm, sometimes "maybe" the semantics can sugest some rudness but here at TL we are very franc on our opinion and try to make it constructive....

 

I have one doubt on the first chart where you count with the red lines the wave 3 doesnt take the high of wave 2... wich is I think incorrect... to validate a wave, it should swing the previous ending pivot of prior wave... I attach what I believe would be the overall count if we have to swing the first wave 1.... please tell me what you think, I am not elliotican, did take course from elliotwave.com some years ago.... cheers Walter.

Good Point Walter,

 

Your Vision Made To Repass The Elliott Rule. I Thought Wave 3 Had To Be At Least As The Top Of Wave 2. But, I Was Wrong. Elliott Rule Says That Wave 3 Must Always Overpass Top Of Wave 2 And With An Usual Length 161.8% Minimum Of Length Wave 1. So My First Vision Of The Chart Was Incorrect.

 

Only, Your Chart Or My Second Chart Can Be Correct. Noutouch And Brownsfan Were Right Thinking About The Continuation Of The Present Short Term Trend. Anyway, It Doesnt Matter Which Chart We Choose Betwen Yours Or My Second Because The Conclusion Of Both Are The Same: We Are In Wave 3. So, There Are A Lot Of Possibilities Of Keeping Growing. Considering Both Charts, Both Have Complex Corrections. This Means That The Next Retracement To Correct Wave 3 Will Be Simple To Keep Alternation But A Large Retracement To Keep Same Proportion Of The First Retracement.

 

Basing A Study On Your Chart, I Have Enhanced A Projection Of A Possible Next Future For The Following Days. Market Is Still Bullish But We Have To Be Aware Of Next Abc Keeping An Eye To Make Sure Is An Abc And Wait The End Of This Abc Looking For A Support Line, Bullish Candle, Big Volume Bar, Etc.

 

This Last Coment Would Be My Long Enter Criteria Once The Next Abc Finishes.

 

It Is A Pleassure For Me To Keep In Touch With You. You Are Quite Open Minded And Observant And This Is Very Constructive Because Make Us Consider A Wider Range Of Scenarios.

 

Thanks Walter

 

Hope You Enjoy The Chart I Think Is Quite Detailed And Helpful. To Have In Mind Where We Are And What Can Come First (the Big Picture) Is Very Important To Develop A Strategy And Be Aware And Sure For The Next Entries

malvado - sorry dude. What I was trying to explain from my observations, you know how some people say "X" market leads and "Y' market usually follows.

 

Well today, the ER2 and NQ both had some of a gap fill while the YM and ES did not and could not break their 30 minute low.

 

Its these little things that make the difference and this is to help newer traders who have heard of the "myth" that ER2 usually leads and the rest follows, etc.

 

Just be aware of how all four are trading. That's all I was trying to say. It actually helps if you use TS to insert the symbols in one chart, that way you get a direct comparison.

 

Here's another example with ES and $TICK on the same chart, notice the TICK lows and highs and how they correspond to ES lows and highs?

Great MX ¡¡ let me tell you that YOU are the open minded here and I have great respect for your great actitude..

I think there is a great improvement here and I like to refresh Elliot... Its the core morfology for any serious fibonacci analist... Did you calculate what price level should hit the 161.8% proyeccion ? would be nice to have it... cheers Walter.

hi walter,

 

ive been out for this weekend and couldnt read your post since then. on monday morning Ill come back to study the charts and make a projection on fibonacci levels. dax and es.

 

actually, since I see the markets under elliotts view my trade has improved hughly. this doesnt mean that I consider other types of analysis to form my enter criteria like vsa or candle patterns but, elliott and fibo combined are like the frame you never have to ignore to know where the market is and where it seems to go aswell as if the trend is starting or beeing exhausted.

 

thanks also to wsam for enhancing his explanation

Mal,

I enjoy your posts and your market analysis. I do not use Elliott nor Fibonacci in my own work, but I often find that your market view of the DAX agrees with my view of the DJ Euro Stoxx50 and FTSE.

Like you, I got out of my long positions at the close on Friday 18th, and am watching for indications for a short position until Friday 1st June/Monday 4th June. Then I see an increased chance for more upside action.

MX - here's the deal - if you are going to trade and/or make trading plans based on candlesticks, you need to study them first. Your comment here clearly tells me that you probably saw some candlesticks illustrated on the net somewhere and therefore using them is easy...

 

Here's what I suggest:

 

1) Buy the book I reviewed here: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f8/japanese-candlestick-charting-techniques-second-edition-1561.html

2) Study it over and over again.

3) Learn what a candle may be 'telling' you vs. just looking for shapes and making your analysis of that.

 

It's late, I've had a long weekend and I'm not about to teach Candles 101 here. If you are going to use candles in your analysis, you need to learn how they work before even considering using them.

 

I will leave you with one suggestion - each candle that is printed is in fact 'telling' you a story. It's a story of the bulls vs. the bears. EVERY single candle plainly illustrates the fight between the bulls and the bears and who won that fight, each and every time. Sometimes there is no clear winner... (doji / spinning top).

 

That may be a bit deeper than you want to take your candle analysis; however, I would suggest you learn about them before even attempting to use them in your trading.

    • YUM Yum Brands stock, nice breakout with volume +34.5%, from Stocks to Watch at https://stockconsultant.com/?YUM
    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
